Slave of Love – Chapter 3
Amys POV
The landscape rushed past us as the horses galloped across it.
I looked back at Sonic. He was running alongside our carriage, his chains jingling with each movement he made. He was a good runner, as the seller had told us earlier, but…could he really reach speed of sound?
I turned to my father. He was staring at the landscape, but his eyes were distant or maybe…thoughtful would be the better word. He was like this ever since…my mother died. They loved each other dearly and then…she just…died. Because of a cureless disease.
And my father…his soul seemed to leave with her. Now, he was only the cold shell of the kind man I knew. But still, sometimes, when I'm sad, he comes around and for a moment, only for one moment, it seems, as if his soul hadn't been gone completely.
But those times were rare and passed rather quickly and then…
…I was alone again…
I looked back at Sonic. He lifted his gaze from the ground, stared at me and smiled understandingly. I raised an eyebrow. Could he read my thoughts?
"I can see it in your eyes that something is bothering you." he told me.
I saddened and stared at the ground. "Later…" I replied.
Sonic's POV
As soon as we arrived at the mansion, my eyes widened and my jaw dropped all the way down to the ground.
Geez, Mr. de la Rose wasn't kidding when he said the fields were huge.
They were at least 5 hectares large!
I sighed and glanced at my new mistress. She was talking to her father, but I noticed her eyes wandering, searching for mine.
As soon as our gazes locked, she turned away. I raised my eye brow, but then, I noticed her father's eyes glaring at me, scanning me from the peaks of my ears to the ends of my toes. I felt a shiver going down my spine at his cold glare. He was creepy…
A few hours later…
Amys POV
I was walking through the fields, searching for Sonic. 'Where could he be?' I thought, then I stopped. My gaze fell to the ground. 'Maybe he already ran off…' my heart sank at that thought. "Mistress?" someone asked. I looked up and my heart skipped a beat. There he was, standing in front of me with a scythe in his hand, only wearing trousers. I smiled and hugged him, buring my face in his chest and shaking with sobs as tears of joy flowed down my cheeks.
He wrapped his arms around me akwardly, as if he didn't know wether it was uncalled for or he was allowed to do so. I felt so safe with him like even the strongest monster couldn't harm me, because he was there to protect me.
Our sweet moment was interrupted by someone clearing their throat. We looked at them, breaking apart. I gazed away from Sonic, my cheeks as hot as the African desert. "You still have work to do, newbie. Mrs. de la Rose, I'm sorry, but we're pretty busy. The harvest doesn't do itself." the elderly woman stated. "I'm sorry." I apologized and was about to go back home as something grabbed my wrist. Turning around, I looked directly into Sonic's eyes. "Sorry, but I didn't catch your name." he said, scratching his neck. I sweatdropped. "Sorry, I forgot to intodruce myself. I'm Amelia de la Rose." I told him. He stared at me for a moment, speechless. "I think I'll just stick with Amy." he suggested. I giggled. "Alright then. See you later, Sonikku!" I said and ran off. Looking back, I noticed his cheeks growing bright red as he stared at the ground, rubbing his head.
Me: *yawn* I've gotta go to bed. G'night everyone.
Others: G'night, techno-cat.
