Finding The Truth
I spent three hours of solitude sitting in my chambers, it wans't funny. All I did was look at the walls and ceiling. It was all I could do. The room was almost bare of everything. Yeah sure there was a bed, a purple canopy bed with pink sheets. But there were no posters, clocks, or dressers. I had nothing to read, nothing to write on, and I didn't have anything to watch. Everything was still in King Goobot's chamber.
Knocking on the door made me move my eyes from the ceiling. Ooblar floated in with a bowl of soup. I nearly tackled him for it. While I was eating Ooblar took a seat on my bed. After I ate I looked at him and smiled. He smiled back, and then he floated towards me. He took the bowl and then left. I relocated to a chair, the only thing in the room, and looked at the wall. A click made me look at the door again. Dahlia floated in, followed by Visah and Pae. The floated to my bed, once seated Dahlia patted the empty spot beside her.
"Wanna talk?" Dahlia asked.
"Sure." I said.
"What about?" Visah asked.
I looked at Pae and frowned. Her wrinkled belly and her tear filled eyes made me want to cry. It was her I wanted to learn about, her and only her. And I think she and the others knew it.
"Was it a boy or a girl?" I asked.
"It was a girl." Pae sighed.
"What happened to her?" I asked.
"Xeshi got ahold of her." Pae hissed.
Pae then gave me the stats of what had happened. She had given birth to a beautiful baby girl, a healthy baby girl. She said she had named it Sali. But after a few hours she had noticed Xeshi looking at her and her baby evilly. She had tried to keep her baby close, but Xeshi had somehow come between them and had stolen her baby from her. King Goobot hadn't even cared, he had allowed for it to happen. Pae had watched, helplessly, as Xeshi slaughter the child. After she had killed her baby she had turned on Pae, and had injured her enough to not want to have another child again. That was why she was so sickly.
"We all have kids, but they aren't as healthy as Xeshi's." Dahlia said.
"Xeshi wasn't always the lead female." Pae said.
"A few years ago it was Thalia." Visah sighed.
"She was a lot nicer than Xeshi." Dahlia muttered.
"Where you ever lead female?" I asked.
"Yeah, five years ago I was." she said.
"The only one that hasn't been lead female is Pae." Visah said.
"My time'll come." Pae said.
I learned then that Xeshi hadn't come by the lead female position, she had stolen it. She had floated into King Goobot's chambers and had allowed him to physically rape her. He had liked what she had allowed him to do, and then he had announced her his lead female. He had stripped Thalia of everything, from her position to her children. He had given all Thalia's children to Xeshi, and Xeshi had slaughtered them, just like what she had done to Pae's daughter.
"I'll kill her!" I hissed.
"We wanted to do that too." Dahlia said.
"But King Goobot had her guarded." Visah said.
"You were lucky." Pae said.
"I'm glad you did that." Dahlia said.
"She deserved every bit of it." Visah said.
"There'll be more to come." I said.
"I hope so." Visah sighed.
"That is if she's not guarded twenty four seven." Pae said.
"Guards or no guards she'll get what she gets." I said.
"Lets talk about something esle please." Pae begged.
Ooblar came to my mind, for some reason I liked him more than King Goobot. He was sweeter, nicer and more understanding. If I had any say in this, I'd of left King Goobot and gone for Ooblar. I think I might actually do that, it might teach King Goobot a lesson, or maybe two.
"Isn't Ooblar cute?" I asked.
"Yes, yes he is." Dahlia sighed.
"A lot cuter than King Goobot." Pae said.
"And a lot better and gentler in the bed." Visah muttered.
"Ryenio and Reinbotz are also good in the bed." Pae said.
"Yeah, but they talk too much." Visah moaned.
"I'd choose Ooblar over King Goobot." I said.
"Don't say that," Pae exclaimed. "Out loud that is."
"Yeah, just think don't say." Dahlia said.
"Okay, sure whatever." I said.
We must have talked for two hours, because that was went the door was pushed open. Xeshi floated in angrily. And she slammed her fist into Pae's mouth. I kicked myself up and I tried to punch her back. But she reeled back and slammed me instead. I landed onto the bed, but I got back up. I slammed my hand into her stomach, and she fell to the floor. I landed on top of her and I landed punch after punch after punch unto her. Pae, Visah and Dahlia cheered me on.
Lets just say I didn't have any hair to cut, so I got the other punishment. I got the whipping of my life. The lashing belt cutting into my gentle skin and my screaming lungs aching. I was thrown into my room an hour later with a throbbing back and a chapped pair of lips. I hated this place, and I wanted to leave right then and there.
