Chapter 6:
Tenma's POV:
I was living a nightmare. Nothing could be worse than being confined against your will for no reason. He just came waltzing in thinking he could kidnap me! Well honey, he's got something coming for him. *sigh* what an I thinking? I can't stand up against him! I can barely make eye contact with him without shivering like a tree in the winter! If I could only think of a way to escape. But all you could know; opportunities might arise and I get away successfully or I could be stuck here forever!
I tried to rest my racing mind but nothing would work. But after many drawn out minutes (that felt like hours) , I finally was able to go to sleep. Resting my head on the surprising comfy pillow I pulled the blanket up just a tad and drifted away till the dawn was to arrive.
Morning (about 8:00am) :
"Wakey Wakey, sleepy head!" I lifted my head of the pillow and say up to see Emi was at my bed side already woken up.
"Hi Emi... What is happening?" I asked in reply after I sat rubbed my eyes at grabbed my new glasses from the top of the worn down bedside table .
"Well I want you to meet Hattie, she is here as well" At the door (that was previously locked) was a tanned girl with brown chestnut hair down to her shoulder blades staring at me with a mischievous look.
So I began to wonder. How many others are there? Maybe "master" is a kidnapper of some sort who has a odd liking for innocent children : now that just makes him a paedophile and I hope he is not!
"So you're Matsukaze then, nice name, I'm Hattie Hewitt," She relaxed her shoulders and smiled enthusiastically at me, now that is someone who I would be friends with!
"Nice to meet you too Hattie!" I smiled back at the charming girl and got out of my bed still in my clothes from yesterday.
Before Hattie could reply she was interrupted by Emi suddenly "I wondered when you would wake up Matsukaze it's bloody 8:00 o'clock we need to get you peeling those veggies for lunch!"
I was slightly confused but I eventually got the point, we are working like slaves! I did not sign up for this; but fair enough I had no choice really in the matter since I was kidnapped, I wasn't like I volunteered for this.
Grabbing my hand Emi lead me out of my bedroom then taking me down a corridor . The corridor was just like the rooms, out dated and like something you would see in a Victorian slave area.
She took me to another room with a polished sink containing vegetables in one of things you wash salads in I had seen Aki use before. Next to it on the counter top was a peeler I had also seen Aki use before.
"Do you know how to peel?" I nodded quickly since Aki had teached me a few months ago and I didn't want to be to suspenseful with Emi.
She nodded back at me, "I'll leave you too it," she briskly left me in what I guessed was a kitchen.
I started to peel the fine skin of the carrots then I peeled of the rough skin of the potatoes off as well. I was lucky I didn't cut my hands; Emi might have got mad at me if I did!
Half an hour later I had finished and Hattie cane in with a grin , walking over to the sink she took the peeler out my hand and took the vegetables to a chopping board on the table behind me. She moved swiftly over to the draw and pulled out a chopping knife and placed it next to the board.
"Now you can chop them up, but don't do the potatoes to fine, we like the chunks of potatoes, " Hattie casually mentioned the instructions then left the room leaving me standing at the table.
I pulled out the chair from under the oak table and sat my bottom on it. I grabbed the knife and started to chop up the recently peeled carrots. Then after, the potatoes.
Maybe I was destined to become a chef or something: haha keep dreaming myself!
