"Damn it!"
"Damn it!!"
"DAMN IT!!!"
Sounds of crashing tables and broken wood sounded out, as my master thrashed his office and broke countless tables and counters.
My face almost broke into a smile, as I thought of their doom approaching. There were other disgusting elves in the room and they didn't make a sound. They were starting to feel fear. I liked their expressions.
Oops, I smiled.
I quickly fixed my face as it broke down, I couldn't let them see it yet.
"Elder, we have already lost 15 parties to this demon."
A stoic elf to the side, who loved to abuse the slaves, said. He had a wife and children, but his wife was also as screwed up as him and sometimes even joined him when he went down to the stables. My disgust for him was high, but everyone that was in this room, I wanted to kill.
They were all like the elder and had perverse delusions of superiority. Now that a threat was coming to kill them, they were shitting their pants.
"Damn it!"
The elder swore again, he couldn't control his anger.
"There's something else to report."
"WHat!"
His voice cracked as he spoke.
"Some of the slaves are starting to become unsettled, as our own brethren become less."
These words set the elder off even more, as he broke another table.
"They Dare!!!"
He screamed out and looked at the new slave, that replaced the last one. He instantly took out a knife from a desk and gutted her right then and there. It could have been me, if I wasn't so important at the minute.
"Urgh!"
The poor woman groaned as the blade slipped in her chest and then was repeatedly stabbed over and over. His anger was out of control.
The other elves said nothing at the display and it looked like they wanted to join in. I kept my face straight, as the woman was finally released and left to bleed to death on the ground.
"Even in death you dirty our presence."
The elder spat out at the dead slave and then seemed to calm down. I had seen to many slaves die like this.
I want these bastards to die!
"Go out and kill some of the slaves, that will teach the others, who is in power!"
He said that and then looked to the next person.
"Sir we are having trouble with the dungeon that has taken our clans sacred treasure. Many of us have died trying to get it back."
The elder frowned, if there was one thing he hated more than slaves, it was the death of elves.
"Wait!"
He shouted out to the stoic elf that was about to leave.
"Gather the slaves, we have use for them."
My mind shifted as I realized what he meant. I gritted my teeth and didn't show anything on my face.
"Once we get the sacred treasure from that damn dungeon, we will be able to take care of these heretics!"
The stoic elf returned and all the elves bowed towards the elder with wide smiled. They also understood what he was getting at.
"Yes Elder!"
They were ecstatic.
"I will lead the expedition myself this time. We have no time to spare!"
His voice rose in pitch, as the elves started to congratulate themselves at their plans and I wanted to physically puke. My master that was angry a second ago was clapping himself on the back and welcoming all the praise he was getting.
His anger had dissipated now and he was rather happy, the confident expression on his face told all that he would be the winner, in this life or death situation. I didn't say a word as I calmed myself down. Letting my cold feelings blossom, I took a small breath and bowed even deeper than the elves.
"Master is wise!"
My voice was soft and fawning, this would lower his guard towards what I was doing.
He looked in my direction and his smile grew even wider, as he beckoned me over. I walked over as calm as I could and forced myself not to flinch, as he grabbed me and pulled me in for a hug. He patted my head and ran his fingers through my hair , speaking loud enough for all to hear.
"Why can't all the slaves be as obedient as my, little Rose?"
He gave me a little kiss on the neck and took a deep breath. My feelings were dead as I hid my face from view, I couldn't control it distorting.
I stayed quite as the other elves laughed at the spectacle and waited for the elder to speak again.
He finally let go of me after a few seconds and showed me a smile. It was his usual disgusting one. I walked back to my spot and couldn't wait to get out of here.
"Leon!"
He spoke to the stoic looking elf that was about to leave beforehand.
"After you gather up all the slaves and send them to me, I want you to gather all the best fighters. I don't think I will need more than 5 of the mages, to take care of the dungeon. With the slaves as cannon fodder we should be able to get back our sacred treasure!"
He then pointed at me.
"I want you to use Rose as you see fit, to defend the town! She should still have half a dozen treants?"
He said it in a questioning tone as he looked at me. I gave him a small nod before he continued.
"Use them and the rest of our fighters to kill those heretics. I'm sure I won't even have to use the sacred treasure on them."
The stoic elf had a smile on his face as he assented in a loud voice.
"Yes Elder!"
He then turned in my direction and showed a different type of smile. I could tell what he was thinking, his mind was still stuck on the, 'use her as you see fit' part of the command. But before he could get further in his thoughts a cold voice resounded.
"None of your usual antics though, Rose is mine."
The elder spoke for the first time with a small bit of killing intent towards an elf. I would have been happy about this fact, had they not been treating me like a piece of meat. It only invoked an even stronger feeling of disgust.
Leon backed down at the cold words and sent the elder a look. He wasn't strong enough to take leadership, so he could only back down. But I could see his eyes flash. He wasn't happy about the situation.
The atmosphere in the room returned to normal, as the elder spoke in a jovial tone to the rest of the gathered elves.
"Get going everyone, we must retrieve the sacred treasure and punish these demons!"
"YES!!!"
They loudly responded as they were finally let go. I was also free to leave and go tend to my treants. Once I was out of sight of the elves that were around me, my facade finally dropped, and my fists gripped tightly.
His Rose
His Rose!
His ROSE!!
I was so angry that I couldn't control myself; I wanted nothing more than to kill him. I wanted to make him suffer! I wanted to grind his bones. I wanted him to be put in the cattle area.
ARGH!!!!!
After venting my anger mentally, I calmed down and continued on my way. I thought of the black haired youth, that was making his way closer and closer to the settlement. I couldn't wait for the moment; he and his companions took down this place, once and for all.
I could wait to see them all die!
