Chapter 5

Slave Boy and Studies

Chaos lay in her bed looking out the window of her room, when she heard small footsteps and knocking on the door. It opened slightly and the small slave boy appeared in the doorway.

"Hello can I come in?" he said shyly

"Err yes sure you can"

The boy stood in the corner of her room.

"So who are you anyway and where did come from?"

"Well before Gaspard found me I didn't have a name, see when I was little my parents died and I was an orphan an I was wondering in the forest and I saw a giant air ship come over, some people came down and kidnapped me, then I found myself on this ship, Gaspard asked me who I was, I told him I didn't know my name, he started talking to another person, then said I from now was his slave and he gave me a name"

"Well what is your name?" She said

"It's Sam" he replied shyly

She looked at him curiously he could only have been young 12 at the most. She saw him staring at the floor as if he wasn't allowed to look at her. He was thin and his ragged clothes seemed to hang off him so she knew he wasn't being fed well. Her father probably didn't care about him being a slave and neither did she. Chaos couldn't imagine what being a slave was like her life was always so perfect, until her mother died.

"Um can I ask you something?" Sam said nervously

"Yeah, sure you can"

"What is your name?"

"It's Chaos" she said chuckling slightly

"What's so funny?" he said curiously

"Nothing, it's just your name is quite common and mine is….."

Sam cut Chaos off before letting her finish her sentence.

"Unique" he said sadly

"Yeah, that sort of thing" as she said this a wide grin painted itself across her face and looked proudly that she had a special, unique name.

They heard footsteps outside the room; Sam's face went pale and looked frightened. Chaos looked at him as the footsteps came closer.

"Chaos, I will have to see you another time I've got to go" he said this then quickly ran out the door.

This went on for a week or so, until it interfered with her studying. Dr Jaming had come across Chaos sleeping when she was supposed to be studying many times, but this time was different. Once again he saw her sleeping on the table she had read 40 books ten short of her actual studying target. (A/N which was 50 as Gaspard had decided)

He simply walked up to her, pulled up his sleeves and smacked her head on the table with his hands. Chaos awoke suddenly and was marched upstairs to her father.

"Now Chaos, what is all this about you falling asleep when you are supposed to be studying?" he looked at her angrily, his eyes filled with rage.

Chaos rubbed her forehead where Dr Jaming had slammed it against the table.(A/N Gaspard had told Jaming to do this otherwise Gaspard would have killed him for hurting her)

"It wasn't my fault" she began dozing off into one of her sleeps; she rested her head against a pillar.

"It was Sam's fault!" she said wearily and sleepily

Gaspard's grin began cold and sadistic. He stared at her rubbing her head. She muttered something under her breath.

"Chaos, how do you know it was slave boy's name and what did you do you mean by 'his fault'?"

"I mean father, he has been coming into my room every night and has woken me up to talk to me!" she said angrily as she thought of him.

"We will deal about that at tomorrows meeting, now go finish your books and get some rest" his voice relaxed as he said this.

Chaos gave a long sigh and her body relaxed from all the stress that had been put on her that week.

"Thank you" she said gleefully and relaxed, she ran across and down the little hatch.

Chaos mind become clouded again as she thought on what her father said. What did he mean when he said we will take care about that? What did it mean?

Gaspard's sadistic grin came back as he said

"That slave boy has really got what is coming to him and soon he will be begging me to forgive him, about what he has done"
