Chapter 8- Free at Last

A week went by and Nikki felt as if she had lost much weight. With her frail and weak body, she would curl up into a corner and start to cry. Whenever food was pushed through the slit, she would crawl hurriedly towards it and stuff her face, when the food was gone she would then lick the plate clean and lick her fingers. It was quite a sad sight even to Neville, as he could hear the sobbing and laughter through the wooden box. Not even Neville could laugh at such a pitiful scene this little girl was making.

The next day Neville opened the door of the "hot box". He saw the Nikki wince from the light, but rush over to it anyways. She grabbed his leg and looked up to him.

"I'm sorry, Master, I'm sorry. I'll try harder…I swear." With that she passed out.

Neville picked her up and threw on a bed. He left the room and came back moments later with a huge jug of ice cold water. Without no compassion for Nikki whatsoever he threw water on top of her. The moment the water touched her skin, she sat upright and yelped.

"You are too weak to be here…I consider you quitting," Neville looked at Nikki seriously.

"What…?" Nikki got up to her feet and faced Neville, she was outraged, "Why! I stayed in that box for a week, I could been in there for another…You didn't have to let me out you know!…." Her voice grew calmer, "Please Master Neville, give me another chance, I will prove to you that I am worthy of your training."

Neville nodded wanting to see how much more Nikki could handle, he turned around and walked away suddenly he halted. "I killed the woman who told you she would try to help you out." He left.

Nikki thought that maybe she should feel guilty about it, of course it was sort of her fault for the woman getting in trouble. On the other hand though Nikki never asked for help, with a guilt free conscience she fell on the soft bed and slept, only to be woken up a few minutes later.


Okay this fell really short than I wanted it to be so I'm sorry. I just wanted to get something new up fast. If there are errors in this, please tell me so. Thank you!
