Hey guys!
I have the worst news ever! I have been banned from the internet for a whole month! My retarded brother took it away from me and I have no idea why! He said that after the one month he'll tell me why. I'll keep trying to update my stories but I'll only be able to do them at school and ya'll know how no one knows that I write so I'll have to be sneaky. I really didn't do anything wrong and my brother won't tell me! He says that he knows it was me and that he's 'dissapointed' in me. He also said that I might not think it was bad but he said that he does think it is, gawd I hate him! Wtf! Sorry if I'm overreacting but I just don't understand! Grrrrrr...!

They really was no way to get out of this place, she was trapped. But she wasn't going to give up, no matter what it took. She was going to get out of this. She was tired of watching Babs treat the peasants badly, where was Richard? Did he approve of her actions towards those 'beneath her.' For the past two days Starfire sat back and saw Babs insult them, and when she did interfere. She only got insulted herself because she didn't know how things were here. So altogether she just gave up.
She spent her days cooped up in her room, thinking of her life until now, what had she done to deserve this? Things had only gotten hectic once Richard came into her life. She wondered why, was she just plain unlucky in love?
There was a knock at her door, she opened it and in the doorway stood Richard.
Speaking of the Devil. She thought but didn't say it outloud.
"Hey." He said.
She didn't say anything, only went back and laid on her bed. Leaving the doorway open so he could come in if he wanted. He followed after her and sat on the bed.
"I'm sorry again for leaving you alone." He said, thinking she was upset with him.
During the days she did miss him, but only because she didn't feel right being here. This was his house and she had only followed because she was married to him. And if he wasn't here how could she just strut about thinking this was all hers already? In reality it was but she couldn't be so demanding, unlike Babs.
"It is alright." She said, maybe if she answered he would stay. She was tired of being lonely, so lonely she would even speak to Richard.
But after that there was a silence, she thought desperately of something to say but she couldn't think of anything.
"Richard I don't want to be here." The words escaped her mouth without her even getting a chance to think of their effect.
Dammit, he knew this was going to happen. Part of the reason he was gone all day was that he couldn't see her, not yet. Well, that and he was still getting used to all the land that went under his name. And him coming here was one of the few weaknesses he felt, he just had to see her. And he had prayed to God for her not to bring up old wounds. And she did.
"Just don't start Starfire, please." He got up from the bed and headed for the door.
She got up faster and blocked the door "Start what? Is there something you're not telling me?"
"No, it's just that I don't want to fight." He rubbed his temples.
"Well then let's not fight, let's talk." She said.
"You know we can't do that."
"Why?"
"Because we always end up fighting!" He raised his voice a little.
"Well if you weren't so impatient!" She raised her voice too.
"I am not impatient." He said defensively trying to hold his voice back.
"Yes you are."
"Starfire just move, I want to leave."
"Fine. But when you want to talk and I don't, you won't be able to make me." She got out of the way and left the dorrway free for him to pass.
He knew what she was doing and somehow he couldn't let it go "Fine, you want to talk. Let's talk, how about you tell me when you were going to tell me that there was someone else!" He yelled, he couldn't hold it in forever.
She didn't know how to answer, she really wasn't expecting him to stay. "There is no other man!" She blurted again.
"Liar!" Richard accused, he was so hurt.
Why did she say that? There was another but it's not like she was waiting for him to come back for her. "I had no idea he would come back!"
"Come back! So he left you and you waited for him?"
"No! No, you just don't get it!" She screamed at him.
"Well then tell me!" He screamed back in her face.
It sounded like he was investigating her, she turned her back to him. He was making her seem like she murdered someone. Why did she always end having to be the one who was getting accused and pointed at for not being perfect?
She turned around and faced him. "Why is it always about me Richard? What about you?" She pushed him.
"What about me?" He confronted her.
She didn't know why but Babs came to her mind "What happened with you and Babs!"
Richard was taken aback "Nothing! This conversation has gone too far, I'm leaving." He turned towards the door.
"Why are you leaving now! Because we finally got the topic off of me?" She pushed him again.
"Stop it!" He yelled again.
She hit a weak spot, he didn't want to talk about him and Babs, but why? Now she really did want to know.
"Wait!" She said, she didn't want him to leave but then again she didn't know how to make him stay. "I want to know." She finished sadly.
"Why do you want to know?" He said, then he decided to play with her. "Don't tell me you're jeaous?" He smiled.
She blushed furiously "No!" she said outraged, "Why would I be jealous!" Now she did want him to leave.
"I don't know, you tell me." He was still smiling.
"Richard please leave." She couldn't stop blushing and had to turn around, again facing her back to him.
"This is unbelievable, you are jealous!" He said laughingly.
"Richard leave!" She was starting to get angry, why had she insisted so bad? Because she was stupid, that's why.
He noticed his teasing got to her and he felt bad, he opened the door slightly and before he left he felt like he should say one more thing, and he did. "Starfire there really isn't anything between me and Babs, and there never will be. Not as long as you're here, there's always talk among the servants but don't believe them. It's only gossip, they do it a lot here where there's no real news." And he closed the door.
Her face was still hot, why had he accused her of being jealous? She was only curious, that's all. Or was she really jealous? She didn't feel jealous, and besides if she were jealous she had a right to be. Babs had come up to Richard like it weren't improper to be all over another's husband. But she didn't mind, not one bit. Why would she?
Of course she didn't, right? Oh God she had to get out of here before this place got to her before Richard got to her. He was already making her feel feelings that weren't hers. She grabbed one suitcase and started to fill it but then she stopped this would be too heavy for her to carry by foot, then she grabbed a sheet and started to fill it. When she was done she noticed it was too heavy too, so she decided to take nothing but what she wore. She would leave in the middle of the night and never come back.
When dinner was ready she went downstairs like nothing had happened. She wasn't going to let Richard see her broken down by his false words.
He felt bad, he didn't want his words to get to her that badly. Now she was just staring ahead barely touching her food, and Babs kept talking about something, he tried to listen but only ended up nodding his head whenever she waited for him to respond. At least she talked to him, not like Starfire.
Why did Babs get to eat at the table and no one else? Why did it have to be her? She was a servant after all too, wasn't she? What made her so special. Why did she care anyway? But why didn't Babs just be quiet already, she was beginning to annoyed by her but if she said anything Richard would surely defend her.
"Well," Babs sighed "I believe I will go check inventory, you'll be going to town tomorrow, aren't you Richard?"
Richard nodded silently and Babs left the table.
She even called him Richard! Well at least she was gone. But now it was only her and Richard at the table and he seemed to pick at his food like nothing, so she did the same.
"Her father was the administrator. He took care of this ranch."
Starfire looked over to Richard and he only stared at his plate of food.
"Now she does what he used to..until we get another one. Gar is in charge of finding a new one and sending him here, it's not right for a young lady to do it all by herself."
Richard must have seen how disturbed she was about earlier, she hadn't asked for her life story and yet he was telling her.
"There are some things she just can't do. When her father was alive she always helped him so she knows what she's doing."
Starfire stared at her own plate.
"When we get the new administrator...maybe you can help him. You don't have to" He said the last like he didn't want to offend her. "It's you're choice you don't have to but you are the Lady of the house, it's your right."
Right? What he probably meant was that it was her duty, but she didn't want to fight again. She sighed lightly, not wanting to be rude but she needed to do it. She felt like she was trapped.
"She and I practically grew up together.." He grabbed her hand. "She's like a sister." At this she looked up at him and saw that he was staring at her too, he smiled a reassuringly smile and she couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt for thinking of leaving. No, not thinking, she was leaving.
He let go of her hand and left, she stayed there for a moment then picked the plates up and took them to the kitchen.
"Oh no Ma'm!" Yelled Sara. "You musn't remove the plates yourself, we will fetch them after every meal."
"It's alright." Starfire smiled. "I only wanted to help."
Sara thanked her for bringing the plates and Starfire went back upstairs, again.
She sighed as she fell on her bed and drifted to sleep.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
She would have to get Richard to hate her. That Starfire or whatever her name was, the name wasn't important the important thing was to get him to hate her and not love her, he had always talked about marriage and wanting to start a family. But he had never actually gone out and found someone, she was here. Why didn't he want her?
"Everything good Babs." She heard Richard ask her.
"Uh yeah Richard, everything's fine." She smiled, forgetting she was taking inventory of the supplies in the pantry. "Just writing down the thing's we need from town."
"Good." He said. "I think I'll take Starfire with me, I want her to get out of the house once in a while."
She secretly glared at the name but she responded sweetly "Can I come?"
"Sure Babs, it'll be fun." He had intended it to be only him and Starfire but having Babs around would be fun too.
"Great." She smiled and he left.
She wasn't going to let him and Starfire be alone, no way. If she started to like being around him than she would never leave. And while she showed the bad side of Starfire to Richard she would make Starfire's life a living hell too.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
When she woke up it was dark, really dark. There was no light in her room and she bumped over some things, she still wasn't used to the surroundings in her room. She looked out the balcony and saw that there were still a few peasants out and she waited a little longer. With her candles still out so everyone would believe she was asleep.
After she waited, she left the room silently. Guiltily passing by Richard's room she made her way downstairs and out the front door, there was no one to be seen around but she still had to be careful and stopped at certain places to make sure she wasn't being followed. She got to the gate and opened it silently, though it let off a low squeak.
"Ma'm what are you doing?" A whisper came from behind.
Starfire let out a huge gasp and turned to see someone she had never seen in her life. "Who are you?" She asked back, whispering.
"Oh forgive me, I'm Consuela." She said nicely.
"Oh Consuela please do not tell anyone." Starfire grabbed desperately for Consuela's hand.
Consuela became concerned and asked "What's the matter?"
"I'm leaving, I can't live here any longer." Starfire responded.
"Is married life that bad?" Consuela asked.
Starfire noddded "Yes." She whispered near tears.
"Very well, I will help you." Consuela gave Starfre's hands a squeeze.
Starfire's eyes lit up, though you really couldn't tell "Thank you!" She whispered and hugged her new friend.
"Aren't you going to take anything?" Consuela asked when they had finished hugging.
"I can't, taking something would only make it harder for me." Starfire said sadly.
"Well go back and I'll carry it for you." Consuela offered.
Starfire accepted and went back in to pack a small suitcase, it fit a few things she had wanted to carry. When she was back outside Consuela was waiting for her and took the suitcase from her, and they left.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Richard woke up in the middle of the night, almost morning because he could see that it wasn't pitch dark there was a faint light coming from outside, he didn't know why but he had the strangest feeling to see Starfire. He sat there debating it for a while and then stood, leaving his room and headed across the hall towards Starfire's room.
When he realized she was gone, at first he was scared that something might have happened to her but then he grew angry when he realized she could have runaway and left on purpose. He ran for his room and dressed rapidly, he flew down the stairs and over to the peasants quarters, he rang the bell for alarm.
"My wife is gone! Find her!" He ordered as the half asleep peasants changed in their own homes.
Richard himself took a horse and told the others to hurry, he had no idea when she could have left. He was also a little worried because she didn't know what was out there, she didn't know that it was dangerous. She could get robbed and taken as hostage.
The sun would be up and if Richard noticed she was gone, it would be easy to find her in the middle of the day.
"Hurry my Lady." Consuela called from above her, they were going at a steady rate upwards over a hill, Consuela had mentioned that there was a road up there and that there was bound to be someone who would take her back home, she would have to take the risk of going back home. Even if Blackfire didn't want to see her, there was nowhere else she could go.
They reached the top and waited for someone, anyone to pass.
Richard was riding as fast as he could, if Starfire knew anything about this territory. Than she would know that the closest road to anywhere was the one on top of the hill. So that's where he was going.
They waited for about five minutes when they saw someone coming from far away. Consuela told her to get in the middle of the road so the wagon would have to stop, she did and Consuela was right. The wagon came to a stop right in front of Starfire, she went off to the side to speak to the man, apparently he was carrying some sort of merchandise in the back but in the front where he was sitting there was room for one more person.
"In the name of God I beg you, I need to go to Puebla." Starfire begged the stranger.
The stranger looked puzzled, wondering if he should take her or not.
"Do it for compassion, don't you see the lady is desperate." Added Consuela.
"Alright, get on." The stranger conceded.
"Thank you Consuela." Starfire said to her new friend, Consuela only nodded.
She and the stranger helped her up on the wagon.
"Stop!" Came a yell "Stop!" It came closer and louder with the approaching steps and breathing of a horse pushed to its limits.
Starfire was now on the wagon and looked up to see Richard, he got off his horse and she stared straight into his eyes.
"Go!" She urged the man. "Go!"
The stranger whipped the horses and they started to gain speed.
"I said stop!" Richard yelled and got back on his horse, he followed them.
Starfire looked back to see Richard following them and Consuela running off the road and back down the slope, where they came from.
Richard was head to head with the driver, he went faster and was now ahead of them. Then he got in front of them and in the middle of the road he stopped his horse with a neigh, the stranger was forced to stop or his cargo would pay the price.
Starfire jumped off and started to run like mad in the opposite direction. Richard got off his horse and ran after her, easily catching up. He picked her up over his shoulder she struggled to get loose and he carried her to his horse.
"You can go now." Richard told the stranger as he passed him. The stranger whipped his horses again and was on his way.
Richard dragged a yelling screaming Starfire and set her on the horse and she hung on to the mane for life afraid to fall and die, and he took her home with him. All the way she thought of Consuela, she hoped Richard hadn't seen her. It would take her much longer than them to get back to the ranch, they were on horseback and she had to make it back on foot.
Once they were back at the ranch Starfire jumped off the horse while it was coming to a stop, she fell to the ground but didn't care. She stomped to the front door and entered Richard gave his horse to one of the cowhands and followed after her, he was pissed and so was she.
She swung the door to her room open and swung it back hoping to hit Richard in the face but he stopped it with his hand.
"Richard if you let me go I swear to you that I will never see Speedy again!" She yelled once they walked a little into her room.
"Ohh Speedy, so the bastard has a name."
"Richard I swear!" Starfire repeated.
"And why should I trust you when on your knees, Starfire, on your knees you swore to love, obey, and respect me!" Richard yelled back.
"Fine then, what do you want to let me go!"
He grabbed her by the shoulders. "I want a son." Richard finished.
