Yeah it's kinda short, but fingers crossed that nothing interrupts my writing so I can get the next one up tonight too. One more to go!
Arvis Edo - Lorrdian Age:15
I was separated from any family I had as a slave. They would sometimes kill some of us if we spoke, so I grew up reading gestures. I was sold again to a man off world, but there were still others of my kind there. This man was horrible once he knew I didn't have much strength. He called me stupid, when, I was actually smarter than him. It wasn't long before a Chiss by the name of Zanatos bought me. Zan, as he likes to be called, set me free. I was all alone, except, that I wanted to stay with Zan. With him, I could speak. He was actually the first person in a long time to give me a real name. Though my actual name is Arvis, Zan still calls me Spero.
I stopped, coming back to reality.
"Hey Zan -" I froze, as my heart sped up. I couldn't see Zan. I was right behind him a moment ago. Where was he? I started to shake slightly.
S-so... many. people... So many people... Zan... please... please...
I still couldn't see or hear him. As fear took over me, I shrank down. Legs rammed into me, as I shook violently. I expected someone, any moment, to haul me off as a slave. But a small glimmer of hope shine in the back of my mind that someone would help. It was after I brought my knees to my chest, strong, steady arms picked me up. I was still skinny and light. I could hear their heartbeat, as the stepped out of the crowd. Slowly, I focused on it. A drum. A steady, commanding drum, was what it sounded like. All movement stopped as I felt something hard beneath me. My heart slowed, as I started to come out of it, but everything was still coming as a blur.
Eyes, blue and green, calm eyes looked at me. Golden hair came close to covering her right eye. A braid pulled it out of the left side of her face, bust rested in front of her ear. Normally I might have another panic attack, especially seeing all her scars. But there was something about her calmness and caring act that kept fear from taking over me.
"You're okay." She smiled, combining some of my reddish hair out of my face. I noticed a furry boy climbing off her shoulders. Two more stood at her left. "Hey." Her soft voice caught my attention once more. "Do you have a name?"
A name... My name?
My name...
Okay, I apologize again for taking forever to upload, but, I've been at a place that doesn't have the Wifi up yet and the internet is being weird. One chapter left to go before I put up the next chapter in Every Road that Leads Home, the very first chapter after the prolong is one of my favorites so far. If anyone whats to, would you post in the comments or PM me, on who's your favorite character out of these stories (not including Ara or Haken)? I'd love to hear what any of you have to say about anyone of these boys, hoped you enjoyed!
