"Good-morning young miss," Zoey fake smiled and continued walking. It had been about three days now since Koji, the young master of Herect, the part of the planet she had crash landed on, nearly 6 days ago. Living in Koji's home was fine, but she just couldn't get used to all the servants calling her miss and ladyship, and those kind of things. "This would be a great time to have Mint here with me, she's so stuck in this kind of life its kind of scary, personally. Or maybe Elliot...or Wesely, either of those three would be better suited for this kind of life..." "Good-morning Zoey." "Hm? Oh, good-morning Koji." "Have another pleasent sleep?" "Ah...yeah, sort of." Zoey said and hurried along. Koji, he was very kind, and also very handsome, but for some reason Zoey got the feeling that there was more to this man then meets the eye.
She slipped quickly and stealthly out of the mansion and ran through the fields. This is what Zoey was used to, the simple way of life, none of that upper class stuff, that stuff just made her feet and head hurt. Not to mention that the clothes, although very glamorous, were so out of style on Earth. Zoey felt like she'd been whisked back in time, and for a moment she thought maybe she had. There were giant hedges that circled the mansion. They kept the evil creatures, like the snake out and anyone who wanted to just escape, they kept that peron in.
"Hm...there has to be a...ah ha! Found it!" Zoey swung open a secret door. "Knew there'd be one, there usually is in hedges like these." She hurried out the door and swung it shut again, leaving just enough to return that evening.
Zoey flopped onto the soft grass and closed her eyes. Right now she hould be on that space station, with Lila, and Lila's parents. Trying to avoid the young man that had frequently glanced her way. Enjoying her trip, that she'd won in a contest. Now, she was on a strange planet, one that is owned by the Cyniclons. The very beings, she'd once fought, the very ones that Elliot had told her to stay away from. It was kind of hard to stay away from them, old man Fern had nursed her back to life, Koji had offered her his home. How could she just turn around and make it seem to them that all their time had been wasted on a human girl? Zoey sighed, "I can't keep my word on that one, sorry Elli." She smiled as she watched the clouds move. Soon, everything went dark again.
"Zoey, miss Zoey?" "Nuh? Huh?" "Thank goodness, you've had the mansion in an uproar! Have you been out here all this time?" "HuH? Yes, I suppose so." "You know it is dangerous ut here, so why?" "I'm sorry, I had intended to come back inside the mansion walls alot sooner, but I guess I fell asleep." "Ha, come on, lets get you insdie, theres dinner waiting in the dinning room, please be sure to eat it." "k, thank you Koji." He nodded and the walked back into the mansion.
"What! Marry you! Why?" "Not only are you clumsy, but you make the entire mansion worry about you at times, I think it's time that you settled down that wild nature. Hence why I shall be the one to marry you." Zoey shook her head. "Koji, I'm grateful to you for everything you've done for me, but I'm sorry I alreayd have someone I want to marry and he is not you." "I see, however, since it seems that you may never be able to return to Earth, where I believe your man resides," Zoey could say a thing. "It's settled, you shall marry me and together we will unite both humans and Cyniclons." "Ah, no." "Zoey, now you may not say a thing, fore you must always obey the man, never have a mind of your own Zoey, or, you'll be punished for that." "Punished! For speaking my mind! You people are a backward society! Arg." "Not only are you a human woman, but you speak about things that have to do with us Cyniclons, and not young human fools." Zoey glared at Koji as she touched the slap mark that would be on her face for a long time to come, she just knew that one. She stood and left the room.
"ARGH!! You called this a paradise! Ha! I'm glad I decided to stay on Earth! At least there, women were treated like people, not like...toys!" Zoey kicked and her shoe went flying out into the court yard.
"OW!! What hell! Huh? Where the heck did a woman's shoe come from? Koji has never been interested ikn a girl before..." The man who'd gotten hit in the head, snickered "Heh, heh, maybe he's turning into a trany...OW! Okay, first a shoe, and now a..." The man looked down at the small object that had taken a whack at his head. He brought the heart shaped pendant up to look at it. "What in the..." The doors to the mansion opened and Koji stepped out.
"Ah! My dear friend!" "Hey Koji...so wheres the girl?" "HM?" "You know the one that chucked this shoe at my head." "Tsk, she must really be angry with me, if she resorts to injuring my friends." "Ah, right, its alright..." "No, no, and act like that must be seen to." Koji had one of the maids go get Zoey.
"What!" "The young master wants to see you right now, miss." "Hmph! If he wants to see me, he can come to my room like you did , now leave!" Zoey shut and locked the door.
"Young master," "What is it? Where is the girl?" "She said for me to tell you that if you really want to see her, you can go to her door like I did. Then she shut and locked the doors." "Ha, this girl is really becoming a nuisence...perhaps marrying her would be a wrong thing to do when she is this angry with me...yes, the wedding is called off until she can put her anger for me away." "Marriage? So the great Koji has finally found a girl he likes huh?" "No, no, girls are only good for one thing, after that you ditch them." "Ah...no, Koji, thats the wrong way to see things." "Ha! Look at you! Telling me not to make this woman do as I say, when you couldn't even bring the girl you liked back here...AGH!" "My, my, you've gotten stronger." "You went way too far there Koji!" "Did I? I didn't think I did. I was just simply stating the truth, thats all. Now, lets go deal with this fiesty cat." "Did you say cat?" "Her nails are like claws, so shes a fiesty cat." "Ah."
"Go away!" "Come out of that room right now!" "NO!" Zoey shouted angrily from the sanctuary that was the bedroom. "Argh! When I get in there, you will regret having disobeyed me!" "Hardly!" "ARGH!" Koji's friend was just leanig back against the wall, enjoying seeing his friend in such a situation.
"Koji, my friend, you certaily liven things up in this dreary mansion. When are you going to fix how gloomy it is in here?" "After the wedding." "Well, guess the gloom saty, caus ei am not marrying you!" "Oh, and pray tell, while you're safe in there, who is it that you do want to marry?" "..." "Oh? is this guy fictional? A fake perhaps...a fake, how..." "Dren!" "Beg pardon." "I want to marry Dren!" Zoey suddenly coved her mouth with her own hand.
Why had she just said that! Maybe because of how angry she was? Maybe because she hoped that he was more powerful the Koji. Zoey sat slumped against the door, her hands to her mouth.
