įiиx~Phelan~rs dresses, smiling with delight. the leathers were snug, hugging the dainty frame but as the Healer had said, it would make it harder to hurt His property. A shake of the blonde head brings the wild mass behind leather bound shoulders, small hands lift to pull it into plaited neatness. After tying off the end of the braid with a bit of leather, and feeling rather hunterish, the slave slips on the boots and grins wider. Picking up the bota of water and the small pack of emergency goods, the girl heads out.
įiиx~Phelan~rs moves through the city heading towards the mines, heart racing the closer one gets. Afraid that the Guards will stop this one, the girl moves quickly once reaching the warning sign. Ducking under the chain, the beast moves into the closed off mine thankful that one of the Owners had taught a girl to read, the sign told the pale slut she was in the right place. No one seemed about and small booted feet carried the slave inside, the further in one got the darker it became and soon she had to pause.
įiиx~Phelan~rs sat upon a rock near the wall, letting eyes close while listening to the sounds of the abandoned mine shaft. the girl was letting eyes grow used to the dark but in the quiet, one was sure she could hear something, an echo of the other shafts perhaps. the girl takes a sip off the bota and then rises, eyes of brilliant sapphire peeking further into the dark. Soon finding a pile of rubble, the girl begins to climb, taking care not to dislodge anything or fall.
įiиx~Phelan~rs smiles softly, being tiny and light weight it was easy to move over the rubble without disturbing anything. On the other side, the slave pauses again to take a sip and mark the path one took. No need to get lost in the mine, the Free would be livid. A simple stack of rocks was one's mark, pointing the way one had originally come. the girl then continues heading into the room that seemed to have been sealed by the rocks one just climbed over.
įiиx~Phelan~rs investigates the room, seeing an odd device with wheels and letters. though she tried, the girl could make no sense of the word on the device but took a guess that it had been a trap of some form. Sand and pebbles lay about it and upon looking up, bright eyes did see what could be a hole. 'Perhaps this is what caused the rocks to fall away.' one thought, looking towards the device again. the girl takes a sip from the bota and continues looking through the room, there was another path to follow it seems.
įiиx~Phelan~rs gathers a few of the pebbles strewn about and heads through the tunnel, finding that there was a source of light in the dark tunnel. the leather wrapped slave pauses again, letting her eyes adjust to this new light. there was odd sounds in the tunnel with her and try as one might, she couldn't figure out where they were coming from. They seemed to be echoing through the tunnel and one had to assume, seeing as one had just come from one direction and found nothing, the sounds came from further ahead.
įiиx~Phelan~rs lifts one's head and looks around her as blue eyes adjusted, a smile lifts the full lips of the beast as one notices the light comes from above her. too short to reach up, one could only guess at the source perhaps a moss of some form or maybe even the rock that surrounded the pale slave. It was beautiful and for a moment the slave just enjoyed the vision above her, but the sounds beckoned and one's curiousity took hold of her, drawing the girl further into the tunnel.
įiиx~Phelan~rs follows the sounds, one hand reaching out to touch the wall as the light seemed to dim further. Then the light seemed to be gone completely, almost as if the source of light disappeared. When one looked behind her, the girl could see no light nor when one looked forward. The sounds, still unrecognizable, lay ahead of her and not sure if one should light the torch one brought, the slave continues in the dark, using her hand on the wall to guide her and small feet to check the floor before her.
įiиx~Phelan~rs moves slowly through the tunnel, feeling as if it was growing smaller but perhaps that was just the darkness gripping the girl's fear. The sounds got ever louder and there was a new one added, one she knew. It sounded like thunder, constant thunder and one knew in nature thunder boomed and faded, boomed and faded again. This sound must be a waterfall, or waves perhaps, but one was sure the coast was too far away for waves. A few minutes after the darkness surrounded her, the girl heard it. Boots.
įiиx~Phelan~rs stopped, not moving a muscle or even breathing. Steps coming towards her, definitely boots. Panic filled the girl as they came closer, she moved further along the wall and nearly fell when the wall disappear to her left. a small crevice opened up and the pale slut slipped into it, hoping the hiding place was not known to whomever followed her. blue eyes blinked as light began to draw close, coming towards her from the way one came.
įiиx~Phelan~rs scoot back, moving further into the crevice as one prayed to the PK that nothing would snatch her up from the hole she was hiding in. As the light grew brighter the girl strained to see what it was that came close, hoping that it was only guards from the city. the sound of thunder grew stronger and the walls grew slick the further back one moved, causing the girl to stop. she waited, seeing the light grow blindingly bright and soon it was passing the crevice.
įiиx~Phelan~rs watched in utter silence as a group of dark clothed figures moved past the opening, too large for one to get a good look at. one could tell they were dragging something among them and when the girl saw the uniform of the slave house Guards on one a gasp escaped her. the sound drew the attention of the last figure and the light came towards the crack, the girl pushed back further into the tight hole. the small girl slid somewhat easily, helped along by the slickness of the rock around her.
įiиx~Phelan~rs felt the wall stop a moment before her foot slipped off the edge and small hands struggled to grab hold of the rock as she fell back. A large face appeared in the crack, black as night which only grew darker as the large form blotted out the light of the torch it carried. the girl screamed as she fell, hands finding no purchase on the wet wall. Just before the water closed over her head, the girl heard through the thunder a loud growling command. "Find her."
įiиx~Phelan~rs struggled with the water for a moment as terror filled the girl. then one's booted feet hit the bottom and the girl kicked off, pushing herself up towards the surface. Sucking in a lungful of air the girl looked up towards where she fell from, sure one would soon be followed, praying the one she saw was too large to come after. the girl heard the sounds of pursuit and scanned the water, searching for a way out but seeing only rock walls and the waterfall.
įiиx~Phelan~rs took a moment to realize the sound of the waterfall was much louder then one its size should produce and the girl swam towards it. the sound as one drew closer seemed to drown out everything else and one had to keep looking back up to see if the Ones following her had made it through. Near the far edge of the fall, the girl found a ledge and with great relief, pulled herself up onto it. Another pray went out to the PK as the slave shimmies along the shallow lip, hoping to find a way out.
įiиx~Phelan~rs began to worry as the room seemed to have only two ways in, one the hole from which she fell and the water's path. the girl's thoughts began racing, there had to be a way to get out of here.. not the way one came for sure, one didn't wish to be caught so, then what could one do but go through the water way. one was extremely thankful that the walls were rugged and not smoothed over like the tunnel she followed to get here.
įiиx~Phelan~rs attempted to climb the wall, determined to get out on her own. It wasn't until the girl fell back into the water that she realized the ceiling was alight with that same light from the start of the tunnel. the blue gems of the girl had grown accustomed to the light and the girl begins to climb again. the fact that one could see, hinted at either the pursuers were gone or in the crevice so she took care with each hand placement. the more care she took, the likely she was to fall and have to start over.
įiиx~Phelan~rs fell again, struck by the current of the water fall and was pushed towards the bottom. At first the girl wasn't sure she saw it, but when one caught her breath, the slave dove back under to find there was another way out. Swimming towards the glow, the girl came up in a pocket of air, sucking in air before moving along to the next glow. the third glow wasn't a pocket but a full blown cavern, the floor of the room seemed to gradually rise out of the water.
iиx~Phelan~rs rose up out of the water and turned, looking around the room. the slave nearly choked on a scream when she turned and found herself face to face with a statue. In the odd glow, the features couldn't be made out but she was more concerned with pursuers anyway. the girl scanned the walls, hoping to find another passage out and ended up finding several. After looking at the entrances to a few, the girl felt a cool breeze and took a deep breath. It was fresh air and the girl followed that path.
įiиx~Phelan~rs had just turned the corner when the sound from the cavern stopped her, a feminine scream filled her ears and pale hands, shaking with fright lifted to her lips. It hadn't been her, the sound came from someone else and continued as one tried to figure out if she should try and help or just get the hell out. the slave turned back, moving towards the entrance and bite down hard on a plump lower lip. The hooded figure stood before a blonde slave girl, she wasn't screaming anymore.
įiиx~Phelan~rs turned and ran, not stopping till one had to decide which way to go and again followed the breeze. It took the girl a moment to realize that the mine had ended and trees surrounded her, only then did she stop and take a breath, leaning against a tree as she tried to figure out where she was. One foot lifted, then the other, resting against the tree had made her realize how tired one was, but she couldn't risk stopping here.
įiиx~Phelan~rs lifted one foot and took a step, then the other, on and on she went till it was too dark to see. the girl climbed the tree and found a good place to wedge in and rest till the sun came up again, she was pretty sure one wouldn't fall asleep with the chill of still damp leathers, but she did.
