I awoke in an awkward position. One arm around his waist and the other dangling off the side of the bed. So he must have untied me after...... I shuddered just thinking about it made me queasy. Then suddenly he woke up.
" What are you doing here you had to be at the kitchen an hour ago." he said lazily. Then if anything could get any worse we hear pounding on the door and a screeching old woman saying something to fast for me to comprehend. Then my 'husband' gets up and walks toward the door.
" No don't do that" I said " why not I won't get in trouble only you will " he said "that's not fair!" "life isn't fair princess." When he opened the door she came screeching in and she reminded me of a very ugly Magpie.
I expected her to come up to me screaming and slapping me for what ever I didn't do, but she went straight up to my 'husband'.
" This is all of your fault she did not come to make breakfast and she was to be Capricorn's personal maid but you ruined it all! Why didn't you tell her to wake up at 4:00 in the morning and tell her to go to the kitchen?!" She said something else but I was to sleepy to pay attention.
She came up to me and told me to go to the church and also said not to run. As I was walking over there lots of men were hooting at me and whistleing which made me very angry but I keep it cool and walked staight in the church.
Capricorn seemed very relaxed but when I came in tension started to grow in the room. His eye were burrowing into my scull, but he did not say a word.
Farid and Dustfinger were doing their traveling fire shows and were being very successful that many people offered them jobs, but they refused. They were now traveling through the forest in England and they thought this place was very familiar.
"Hey take a look over here!" said Farid "Hey I remember that place.... but last time I saw it, it was abandoned." "Looks like Capricorn is back with many more men and maids"
Then Farid saw her. She was walking by a group of men that were hooting and whistling, but she kept it cool and walked in the church. "Wow" was all Farid chirped out of his mouth. Dustfinger chuckled. He knew not to get involved with the maids for many reasons, but the most important one was that they all had lives out side of here and if they were set free they would go to them and not even spare a passing glance at the other opportunities.
Then Farid said something surprising. "Lets get her out of there."
