Beck POV

Before The sun rose I was already getting ready for work. I washed up in the spring near the farm. I scrubbed extra hard because Luna invited me to the market with her and her dad. Some were in my head I knew that I was just going to help carry stuff for her dad so she wouldn’t have to carry anything but I was still as happy as a mouse with cheese. After scrubbing I put on my good clothes which would be my shirt and pants with the holes stitched up. After a few minutes of making sure I didn’t have a new hole on my shirt or paint legs I climbed up to the roof and watched the sun rise. This was my favorite part of the day. Seeing the sun rises and it’s worm rays enveloping me I took a long breath in feeling the cold crisp air entering my chest. I held on to this feeling for as long as possible but like everything else I had to let it go. I let the air out of my chest feeling the difference in heat from the former cold crisp air to a nice worm breath. His chest had a slight pinch to it since he tried to breath in more air than his lungs could handle. He slowly climb down the house’s roof his masters lived under. The house looked like a small Italian chateau. I slowly spilled into a second story window feet first. After closing the window I took two steps and herd quiet but audible foot steps coming over. He knew who was coming and he felt as if his life has never been closer to ending. With speed he never thought he had he quietly and swiftly ran the the other direction. He herd someone open a door the way he was running and froze. “What do I do?” Beck’s mind raced he looked around like someone that had lost the most important thing in there life. He only had a few seconds left before his nightmare sees him. He saw his one salvation another window. Beck opened one of the curtains covering the window, opened the window he got on the edge silently closed the curtain. He slowly shuffled on ledge of the wall. He stood still as if he was trying to be a gargoyle for the house. Beck tried to see if the nightmare was gone but it seem he ran into that person that opened the door.

“Mrs. Gwendolyn”

the person that said that name was as he feared. It was Aurelius The head butler for the family. Aurelius is the definition of a fox, he has long smooth shiny silver hair that’s always in a ponytail. Mr.Aurelius makes everyone that’s not the family call him sir. I never understand why he’s works for the family he was the most loyal out of all the servants, but no one knows why he’s so loyal. Aurelius is a man in the prime of his life and from what I’ve seen he’s a genius.

“Oh hello sir”

said Mrs. Gwendolyn.

“Have you seen Beckham?”

Asked Aurelius. Mrs. Gwendolyn was a bit caught off guard by that question.

“well I surely don’t know sir. He’s not even allowed in the masters house.”

Aurelius made a humming noise.

“He should be getting water for the young mrs. bath”

Bech cringed as he herd that. Shoot I forgot about Luna’s bathwater. Bech trying to continue to listen. He Heard Mrs. Gwendolyn tone of voice for when she’s trying to convince Mr.Aurelius to not do any to mean to me. Mrs. Gwendolyn is a old woman that has served Isabella’s family for two generations she’s a tuff woman, but has a sweet inside. She won’t openly help you, but when you need help she’ll be there. When I had first moved to the manor I had only rags on and the first night was horrible, I was cold and hungry, but after that the second day after work a newly man pare of pants and shirt and shoes where waiting right next to a piece of bread. After some of Mrs. Gwendolyn begging Aurelius said

“Very well but the mrs. bath better be full of water and that water better be hot, or so help me I’ll neuter that little street rat. I knew he meant it. After some time I heard Mrs. Gwendolyn voice say “

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

come back inside you scamp.I had been discovered but I did not care because those old arms where the safest place in the hole world. I herd a sound that sounded like Stone grinding against stone. I stopped hugging Mrs. Gwendolyn and looked at a hole in the way the size of a door. Mrs. Gwendolyn whispered in my ear

“you better get you jobs done so you can go on your date with Little miss.”

I knew she was just joking but I’ve never felt so inspired to do my work. I ran down the hidden passageways and came out near my shack. I grabbed my bucket and ran the the river and mad several laps to the river and back to fill up Luna’s bath tub. I went down a the the main floor of the house and started a fire for Luna’s bath. After that job I had to do all my other jobs like feed the two horses. One was named Mine because that what Luna named it when she was 3 and the other one was named Horse, because Mr.Ulven didn’t care what it’s called. After all my work I just make it to the meet up spot Mr.Ulven looked at me and gave me a smirk in satisfaction, and i bowed my head to him. I looked at Luna and she was as pretty as she is always.

“My lady Luna”

I said with so much vigor even I thought it was too much. I felt my face getting super hot so I just looked down. I herd a cute little laugh. She was in a bright pink frilly dress.

“you may raise your head Sir.Beck”

I looked back at Luna, and she had a smile on her face that made me think she must have thought that was the funniest thing ever. I smiled with my eyes because I always knew she was like this.

“I believe we should be going now said Mr. Ulven.”

I regained my composure and followed the wagon that Luna and her dad were riding on the two horses were already hooked up to the wagon. Some time along the way I decided to hop on the back because my legs were starting to hurt. After 15 minutes we arrived at the city it was I lived in the city state was call Avro it’s a merchant city. which means the city is run by a merchant Company. After passing through the gates with no problems I saw my old stomping grounds. I tried to think of some good memories but none came up. Only flashes of sadness. So I shrugged my shoulders and was on the lookout for pickpockets otherwise known as kids like me or should I say I was one of them once since my group got destroyed. This city is rotten to the core I’m sure if Mr.Ulven wasn’t here Luna would be taken and founded a few weeks later naked and bloody just like the others. I shook that sight out of my head for I’ve seen that happen far too often. I always see guys looking at the cart I’m in with ether envy or greed and some times both. When we stoped at the market Luna ordered me to go shopping with her. It’s not like I would say no even if I had the chance. 7 hours of shopping commenced After a long day of carrying all of Luna’s stuff we finally made it back to Luna’s dad. I forgot how hard it is to keep Luna from going to the wrong place. At one point I thought she was purposely going to some shady guards that I knew were in the sex slavery. Technically slavery is illegal here in merchant cities but in reality that’s just a lie. Everything in this city has a price. By the end of the day I was exhausted. Then Luna’s dad looked at his happy little girl and then looked at my exhausted self. I could have sworn I saw Him smile at my appearance. We rode back the the manor. I couldn’t move I was so tired when we got back I made a promise to my self that I would never leave this spot. Then Luna asked me to bring her stuff up stars, and I felt some of my energy come back to me.

“Yes ma’am”

it took me half an hour to bring all of her stuff up to her room. Luna’s room was covered in pink even her queen size bed was pink. I never understand why she would waste all this color but I guess it’s just a show of power. She jumped on her bed and said

“that will be all my servant”

As she raises her hand and lazily waves. I feel a little bummed out that I have to leave her. She must have seen this right after I turn around I felt Luna turn me around ,before I know it she kissed me on the cheek. As I walk away form the house I relived I was just kissed. I looked around and saw I was close to my room, but then I had this unbelievable power rushing through my veins I saw the woods and knew I just had to run through them. I felt like I could take over the world. I sprinted to this rocky outcrop in the middle of the woods. The rock outcropping was over a water fall. I ran to the very tip. Took a big breath and screamed for the whole world to hear it.

“SHE ACTUALLY KISS ME”

I never wanted this feeling to end. After a while I just sat there trying to remembering every little moment of the kiss. The moon already started to rise It was a full moon that night. I could see my breath in the cold night air. I thought it would be best to just go back to my room and have the best dream ever. I slowly stood up and turned around my body screaming about the injustice of it for being so sore. As I finally turned around and started to walk back to my room which would’ve been a few miles. But in that second of thinking how long my walk will be my life completely changed. A massive pillar of fire struck right in front of me destroying the outcropping and making me fall into the waterfall. As I fell I saw a creature of fire. The creature I can only imagine in my nightmares emerging from the pillar of fire. As I fell to my death flashing back to all my good memories which always seem to have had Luna in it. It’s massive fiery wings stretch open I felt as if I were watching a god be born. It stared at me like I was prey, wait no, there’s no other thought I was it’s next meal. It divided towards me last thing I saw was it entering my body. I close my eyes for the impending bloodbath, but all I felt was A burning sensation across my body inside and out.
