Friends in unlikely places

Chapter two

The local village of Italians had a very powerful family living on the hills above the farms. This family was rich and they were going to buy some slaves from the local traders. The couple had only one child named, Nella. She was pretty average human girl. She had long brown hair and brown eyes. She wore a pair of jeans and a white sleeveless shirt. Nella was treated royally.

A phone in her room began to ring. Nella walked over to it and picked up.

" Hello.. this is Nella."

" Nella dear… your father and I will be going out for a while…. Behave yourself." Came her mother's voice over the phone.

" Yes mother…" Nella said as she hung up the phone. She sighed as she looked out the window. ' My parents must be going out to get a slave.'

Nella's parents went to the slave trader's place. In the cells Jisushika and her husband were first waking up. Jisushika reached her neck and noticed her necklace was missing and a collar was on it. Kuro looked angry. " We gotta get out of here."

The slave traders started walking down the hall. " We have gotten some new arrivals today…. I'm sure they will make perfect slaves."

Nella's parents came up to the Cell. The owners pulled out two controllers.

"Get up slaves!" He hissed as he pressed the buttons. This sent a sharp pain through Jisushika's and Kuro's bodies. Both demons grabbed their necks and let out a yelp in pain as they stood up.

Nella's parents looked over Jisushika and Kuro. " We'll take them."

" It's been a pleasure doing business with you folks. How will you be paying?"

" Cash." The father stated.

One of the other traders came up with a set of shackles… one for their arms and one for their legs. He opened the door, holding the controllers. " Make any sudden movements and I press it." He warned. The two of them were frozen in fear as they stood still as they were chained up. The trader pushed them out of the cell. " Get going!"

The mother gave the elder trader a large bag of money. " Keep the change."

He bowed. " Thank you so much ma'am."

The young boy gave the family the controllers. " Enjoy them…."

The father smirked. " Get moving slaves!" He commanded.

Jisushika and Kuro started to walk out the door. Nella's parents made them walk all the way to the mansion. They shut the door and forced them into another room. The father smirked. " Sit." Jisushika and Kuro sat down on the floor.

The father smirk. " Good. Now, time for you to set the rules straight. You are forbidden to do anything without our permission. You must do everything we command without question or argument. As far as food, you will get none. The two of you will sleep in the basement. Whenever your not working you will be there and if you disobey any of these rules you will punished accordingly. Understand swine!" He pressed the controllers.

The slaves let out a small yelp once again. " Yes master."

" Good." The mother commented, " Now you…bitch… make dinner…. And you…. Make the table."

Jisushika wanted to fight back but she knew that it was senseless when her captors had a way to hurt her. She got off the ground and walked into the kitchen to start dinner. Kuno also got up and followed his wife into the kitchen. They both looked miserable as they did as their masters commanded. Jisushika found it hard to move about with her shackles still on. The mother came over. " What's wrong slave?"

" I can't work like this… can you please take these chains off?"

" And why should I do that? You don't deserve to be free slave."

" I can't cook properly with them on. Please master. I won't try anything."

" I don't think you would since I have the ability to hurt you with a touch of a button. This is the only time I'll be nice to you slaves…. So don't get use to it." The mother removed them from Kuro and Jisushika.

Jisushika bowed her head. " Thank you master… I will not forget this kindness."

" Shut up and work slave."

" Yes ma'am."

Jisushika continued cooking. On the stove she was boiling water. Soon she put some raw pasta in the pot. In another pot she heated up some sauce. Kuro placed the plates on the table and then up the forks, spoons, and knives on the right side and the napkin on the left. When the food was completed Jisushika turned to her masters. " Dinner is finished masters."

" Good…" The mother and father walked into the room. The mother called Nella downstairs. She sat down next to her parents. She blinked as she looked at Jisushika and Kuro. ' So these are the new slaves mother and father got. That girl looks almost human… but that boy over there he's definitely demon.'

The father looked at the table and he frowned as he noticed the arrangement was wrong. He took out Kuro's controller and pressed it hard and long. Kuro fell to the floor and screamed out in pain. " YOU FOOLISH SLAVE!" The father shouted.

Jisushika ran over to her husband's side. " Kuro… kuro you okay?"

" I'm fine…." He managed to say. He looked at his master. " What did I do wrong?"

" This arrangement is unacceptable! The knife isn't suppose to be facing outward…. And of course it's on the wrong side! If you make this mistake again I will punish you much harshly."

Kuro bowed his head. " I understand master… forgive my insolence."

Nella looked over at Kuro. ' That poor guy…. That must have really hurt.'

" Food… where's the food wretch."

Jisushika fetched the pasta and started to serve them. Nella smiled. " Thank you."

Jisushika was half shocked to receive a thank you from his master's daughter. " You're most welcome mistress."

Her father cleared her throat. " Nella… you must not thank this slave for anything…. Understand."

Nella bowed her head. " Yes father."

Jisushika then got the sauce. When she reached Nella she put a bit less then she wanted. " More please."

Jisushika nodded. " Yes mistress." She poured more sauce on it.

Nella smiled. " That's good."

Her father once again looked disappointed. " Nella… you shouldn't be so nice to our slave. Their sole purpose for being is to serve us… they are no beings they are objects, remember that."

Jisushika looked annoyed by what the father was saying. He of course noticed and glared. " You have a problem with that slave!"

" No master… no problem."

" Good! Now get out… down to the basement with you!"

" Yes master."

Kuro and Jisushika went down to the basement. It was super cold. Jisushika turned to her husband. " It's so cold…."

" I know… how dare they treat us like this…. We have to escape."

" We can't…. they have those boxes…. One press and we'll be in agonizing pain."

" That man will pay for this."

" You know that girl… she's much nicer then her parents. Maybe she can help us."

" It's worth looking in too."

Jisushika slid down, hugging her knees. A small thing of tears started to form in her eyes. Kuno looked over at his wife with a look of concern.

" What's wrong?"

" I'm… worried about our baby. What could have happened to her?"

" That I can't be sure off. Master Denieru must have her somewhere safe."

Jisushika started crying. " I just hope she'll be alright. I don't know what I would do if I lost her…"

Kuno got closer and hugged his wife tightly as a gesture of him showing his concern. " Jisushika, have faith. We'll be free yet and soon we'll see our little baby girl safe and sound…"

To be continued…
