Wherever the Wynd Takes Us ((Feara/Alei))

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

It was another blisteringly cold day on Jeskara. The outside world was crusted over like a tomb. I was alone in my 'master's' bedroom, my arms tied to his bedposts. I heard the door slam shut, and I saw him walking away from the manor towards the city. I instantly went to work on the ropes binding my arms, knawing them like a beaver knaws wood. Soon, the left one snaps. I use my now free hand to untie the other hand. Soon, both restraints are gone. grabbing some clothes on the way out, I race down the stairs and out through the front door. My legs move as fast as humanly possible, trying to get away from the manor. I turned to look back, and slammed right into something tall and hard.

Feara strolled along on Jeskara, his hands in his thick wool coat. He stumbled back a bit as he felt a small body collide with his. He looked down at the wild haired blond crumpled before him and blinked. "Whatch your steps next time." he said, voice cold

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

I jumped up and ran away. His face, it looked like Master's. Perhaps he was a relative. If he was, he would tell Master that I had escaped. Master would find me, and kill me for trying to escape. I-I couldn't let that happen. I felt a hand touch my shoulder, and I jumped.

"Wait a minute there kid." Feara said, loking at the boy, his deep voice washing over him. "Where ya goin?" he asked.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

"I-I'm running away. From my master." I said, spitting out the last word. "I was looking for a way off this planet before he finds me."

[praiseofblood]

"Oh..." Feara said, raising a brow. He had a ship, but what did he look like helping some kid?

"Well, good luck." he said before heading about his way.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

I slipped aboard a small cruiser, stowing away in a small bedroom, hiding under the bed. It was cramped, but I was thin from malnourishment. And so I waited, clutching my mother's pendant.

Several hours passed before the ship took off. I felt somebody sit on the bed, and saw their shoes. They were wearing black boots. I gasped involuntarily, hands flying to my mouth. Those were the shoes of the man I'd met. I saw the man look under the bed, and he saw me. Shit! I was a dead boy now.

[praiseofblood]

"The hell?" Feara growled, yanking the kidd from under his bed. "What the hell are you doin on my ship kid?" Feara asked, glaring at the boy.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

"I-I di-didn't know t-t-this was your ship." I stuttered out, staring at the man, shaking, "Please don't k-kill me."

[praiseofblood]

There came a tap at the door and a quiet male voice said: "Feara, dinner."

Feara growled at the boy, "Stay here or I'm locking you below deck."

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

I nodded mutely and watched as the man left. I felt tears at the edges of my eyes, but I wiped them away. I sat there for a while, clutching my mom's pendant again. It always calmed me. Soon, the man came back in. He looked angry, and he glared at me.

[praiseofblood]

"So you mind tellin me what the fuck you're doing in my room? On my ship?" he asked.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

"Look, I'm a pleasure slave. My master has raped me every night since I was five. I've finally managed to escape from him, and I'm never going back. If you try to make me, I will kill you."

[praiseofblood]

Faera laughed, a cruel, hollow sound. "You can try, little thing, and your entrails will be streaming behind my ship."

"Get out of my room," he said, grabbing the boy by the back of his shirt and tossing him outside before shutting his door.

Alei stood and ran headfirst into a solid wall--er chest. Strong arms reached to steady him as black eyes looked down at him.

Caira just stared at the boy before sighing; another stowaway. "Follow." he said, turning and walking gracefully down the hallway.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

I complied and followed the man. "Sir, what's going to happen to me?"
