Chapter 2 -

Too beautiful to waste

.:oOo:.

I woke the next day to my mistress , screaming at me.

"Get up you lazy fool!" she yelled, kicking me in the ribs. I felt all the air escape from my lungs and then quickly return. I sat up. As quickly as she had entered my small room (Its actually a closet, but my mistress likes lying to her self) she was gone. Dwindling in her little slave's "room" was unbearable to her. I touched my ribs gingerly, a sharp pain shot through my body, I winced and stood up. I looked around at my living space. Gray peeling walls surrounded me, a box provided storage to the little things I owned. An old scratchy blanket and a not-to-soft pillow sat in the corner.

Ah, my humble adobe.

I left the hut and went down to the prisons and got the food cart. I made my daily rounds and parked the cart to be filled for the next day. On the way back up to the surface, I glanced inside Kharl's cell.

Kharl was on the floor, his white hair matted in dirt and dust, his clothing caked with blood and grime. Grabbing his cell key from its holder on the wall, I jammed it into the hole and threw open the door. At Kharl's side, I examined him. his face had a gash above his eyebrow and blood ran freely down his neck and onto his ragged clothing. The rest of him seemed fine, I shook him gently, and slowly, his eyes opened. It seemed like time stopped. As his eyelids parted, to reveal them a vibrant violet. I was sucked in, swimming, No, drowning in them. I hadn't notice his eyes before but they seemed so bright in the darkness of his cell. He blinked.

Time resumed itself.

"Reina?" he asked squinting through the darkness.

"Yeah, its me." I said, I did not ask how he came to be in the state he was in, instead I asked "Can you get up?"

Kharl groaned.

"Come on, up" I pulled him to his feet and he staggered nearly running into the cell door. "Lean on me" I instructed "I'm getting you out of here."

There was no chance I was going to let these eyes fade in the somber, life-sucking darkness of the gallows. They were just too beautiful to waste.

.:oOo:.

Kharl waited watched me as I got a basin of warm water and soaked his shirt inside of it, then filled the large wooden tub with more hot water, I retrieved an almost threadbare towel, (It was the best I had) and told Kharl this was his bath, and he was to wash himself. I hurried inside and got a bar of soap, a shirt and pants,( all my clothes were tailored for boys) and my needle and thread. Kharl called me from outside and I rushed to him as fast as I could without dropping anything. He was already in the neck deep tub of steamy water.

"I have the soap." I said throwing it at him. He caught it swiftly with one hand and began scrubbing his back. I sunk down at the base of the tub and began sowing the holes of Kharl's shirt together.

"Its this your home?" he asked

"Yes, though it really isn't mine." I said , pulling the needle to me and back trough the cloth.

"How so?"

"I...I was given to my Mistress and Master as a daughter by the reverend of this village, who found me in the forest as a baby. At the beginning, the mistress and the Master were nice, but now they treat me as a servant. I do almost everything for them now." I added sourly. He slapshed around a bit and then said to me.

"Why don't you just run away?"

"Because..." I stopped, I never thought about that, and disobidiance had a high price in the master and mistress's home. " I never actually thought about it." I answered. " 'sides where would I go? What would I eat, where would I sleep?"

"Sounds to me that anywhere is better than here."

"Maybe..." I said wistfully. A blue butterfly fluttered past and I suddenly remembered why he was here. "What happened to you?"

"Oh, It was my cellmate's time to go, so the guards came in and of course used me as they're toy punching bag." I knew Kharl clenched his fist. "If only I were stronger."

Suddenly he leaned over the side of the tub, the water on his hair dripped on me.

"You're not taking me back ...there, are you?" he asked his eyes violet eyes clouded.

"No! I mean, of course not, I hate that place as much as you do." I said looking up at him. He sighed of relief and sunk back down into the water with a slush, slush.

Silence covered us like a thick blanket I pricked my finger, a small bead of red blood formed, and slid gracefully down my index finger and dropped onto the grass. I blinked, and examined to wound. There was none. I frowned and stared at my finger closely. There was no trace of me ever pricking myself. Maybe I had been daydreaming, but still, what an odd daydream. It had'nt happened, i decided, and finished sewing kharl's shirt.

I lifted it and surveyed my work, the stitches were even and barely noticeable. I threw it into the basin of warm water and got up.

"Kharl, I have to finish my chores, the mistress and master will be back before dusk. Your clothes are hanging on the tree branch over there." I said turning 'round the corner of the hut. I waved and he waved back. I took two steps and Kharl called me back. I poked my head around the corner. It was a funny sight, Kharl's head just reaching over the top of the tub.

"Thank you..." he said quietly. I stopped and then gave him a small smile.

"No problem."
