"The p-princess" I said in a whisper. A million things were swimming around in my head. Was I respectful enough, would she get some one to beat me, and who are Max and Max?
"W-what's she like" I asked scared. In the dim light I saw them shrug.
"We really don't know. I mean she and her friend never beat us or anything. We barley know anything about them." Nudge said. We stood there in an uncomfortable silence.
"Well lets get you settled in hell" Iggy said. I nodded slowly, my mind still on Max I mean the Princess. Iggy turned around and we followed behing him. I heared Iggy's pale fingers brushing the wall as we walked.
"Iggy was once beatened so badly he's permanently blind" Angel said. Oh. We turned a corner to another poorly luminated room. We passed other slaves that were huddled under thin blankets. They cringed away from us. They were broken. We all were broken, some more then others though. We laid down on an unoccupided wall. In silence. Soon I heared the soft breathing of Angel.
"How long have you been in slaverly" Iggy asked after more uncomfortable silence. I sighed
"A long time." I answered. "You"
"I was born into it" Iggy said "Even though I was born into it the beatings are still no less painful"
"Angel and I were sold into slavery by our mom after our dad walked out on us. She never cared about us anyways." Gazzy muttered pain and sorrow was dripping on every word.
"I was kicked out at ten, live on the streets for a year, and sold myself into slavery. I still wonder if it was the best choice." Mudge said. With each explanation my heart twisted more and more.
I opened my mouth to say some thing but was interuped by the door swinging opened violently. I heared a single pair of foot steps walk slowly down the stairs. It definatly built tension. The steps reached the last step and walk towards the corner. I heared Gazzy mutter a quick "uh oh" before a figure appeared. Everyone bowed, head to the floor, to the figure. Execpt me. Naturally the figure noticed me and walked towards me. I bowed my head in submission. He stopped infront of me.
"Look at me" He commanded and I obeyed. I looked up. It was a chestnut haired guy in fine clothes. I took this in the second before his fist connected with my cheek. My head jerked sharply to the right.
"I know you. Your that slave that came in with those two freaks." He said. Then he delivered a sharp kick to the chest. Then another to my side. A loud crack was heard as I stumped to the floor.
"Please leave him alone sir" piped Gazzy still in a bowing p. Chestnut turned and looked at Gazzy. He them kicked him in the side making him roll on his back. Then he stomped on his stomach. Blood burst threw his mouth like a gyser. I gritted my teeth and tried to sit up buy pain in my chest hurt to much.
Iggy stood up and threw a puch at him. Chestnut dodged it. If he didn't dodge it would have hit him in the nose. Instead Chestnut hit him in the eye. Then in the gut. He made a gurgling sound as he slumped to the floor.
He laughed "You are all so worthless" He said but I could tell he ment those words for me. Then the door opened and I heard thumping noises as two people tumbled down the stares with a chours of "OWs" They landed at the foot of the stairs. I gulped because I reconized the voices. Max and Max
(M. Max)
I heard Sam talking to the guard. Talking wasn't the right word, more like yelling commands at him to let him go down. After being yelled at for a while he gave in and unlocked the door. He closed it again. I heared the key turn in the lock.
"Okay what's the plan" Max said turning to me.
"As I see it we have two options. One involves tight costumes, over the top high tech gadgets, a musclar guy, split second timing and an ostrich egg." I said.
"No" she said
"Pleaseeeee" I begged.
"No" she said again.
"Fine. The second option is simple: You run up to him, kick him in the balls and take his keys" I said
"Why wasn't that option one" Max asked confused
Cause I really didn't want to do it" I answered. Max smiled at me and ran up to the guard. He opened his mouth but Max kicked him in the balls and took the keys from his belt.
I walked up to her. she put the key in the lock and turned it. The wooden door swung open to reveal steps. I took a step forward but Max didn't. Her foot was in front of mine so I tripped and brought her down with me.
"Ow" We choursed as we fell down the stairs. We landed at the bottom of the stairs.
"Where's my foot" Max asked
"In place of my lung" I muttered.
"Sorry" she said moving her foot so I could breath again. The room was bathed in dim light. We walked to a corner and gasped. All the slaves were bowing to Sam. A young boy about eight or nine had blood around his mouth. A straawberry blond haired boy was slumped on the floor with a black eye and Fang was laying on the floor in obvious pain.
"Let me explain" Sam started but didn't finish because Max and I walked right up to him and punched/kicked him in two diffrent places. I punched him in the chest and Max kicked him in the balls.
He screamed his signature girl scream and ran up the stairs. We raced over to the others. The strawberry guy stood up aparently fine. I looked at Fang's chest.
"Your rib maybe cracked a bit but it will heal quickly" I said.
Max looked at the other boy. "He seems fine. Just some blood" Max said. I heared a girl move. She looked about six and had the same blue eyes and blond hair and the boy. She say her brother and a tear fell from her eye. A girl with mocha colored skin but an arm around her.
"Is he okay" The youg girl asked worried.
"I'm fine" He said standing up and walked to his sister. There was a uncomfortable silence. Those seem to be happing way to often,
"So um who are you" Strawberry asked.
"I'm Max" I said
"I'm also Max" Max said
They paled until they were almost transparent.
