A Wizards Pet

[FoxWriter]

It was a cool morning, the sun had only been up for a few hours yet the market was as busy as it always was. Pets stalked in their cages, chickens shrieked and squawked as they tried to stay out of stomping feet, pigs squealed and stall owners called to prospective buyers, selling everything anyone could ever need or want. For most of the city Life existed only in these small markets that popped up every few days where people could buy what they needed to survive, and for the people who ran the stalls it was their livelihood at stake. One young man, had no worries about a persons livelihood, he was there because he was bored, and a little lonely. He was the Young Prince Zarek Bloodhaven, future King of Rathereth. He was a well known, and very powerful young man, famed for his works of art in spell-making, and artistic magic. He was a flashy, showy Wizard who just so happened to someday be ruling the entire kingdom.

He strode through the market, uncaring that whenever someone noticed him they stopped and bowed, his Wizards cape flaring as he walked, every step a firm tap on the hard dirt as his silk and gold lined robes shimmered in the light of the market. He was a very handsome young man, with an unusual appearance, his eyes red from the blood magic he often toyed with, a mark on his forehead etched into place from a Demon he had once annoyed. He was powerful, and he was dangerous, and he was headed straight for the Pet pens. Several owners came forward to great him, asking him what he wanted in a pet, but Zarek silenced them all with a look and a stern word and started wandering the cages, pausing in front of one in particular... she was rare, he knew it. Both Unicorn and Dragon blood coursed through her veins according to the sign that hung from her cage. She was pacing, back and forth and his ruby eyes watched her intently as she stalked back and forth, her hair shimmering in her cage, her multicolored eyes making him shiver.

He was Prince Zarek, and she was the rarest creature that he had ever seen. What did a person have to do to combine Dragon and Unicorn bloodlines into a human!? And she was so gorgeous, there where no horns, or tails, strange protrusions or awkward body shapes. She was almost perfectly human. “i will have her.” he ordered, the owner hesitating. “er... sir she's.. a might difficult to handle..” “i..will have her.” Zarek ordered sternly. 'how much!?” the price the owner listed was bordering the outrageous, but Zarek didn't care, he just handed the man the money and went back to staring at the woman, creature stalking back and forth in her cage. Did she speak he wondered? Did she understand what was happening? Was she intelligent? He didn't honestly care, so long as she was his. He muttered softly and flicked his wrist, a soft, so very soft collar wrapped around her throat, not tight, but certainly she knew it was there. A small, but strong chain slid from the collar into his hand, and without heeding the owners warning, he broke the lock with his magic, and swung the door open, staring at her, slowly offering her his hand to help her out of the cage. “come on sweets.” he whispered soft, gentle. “we'll get you home, get you a nice hot bath and a nice warm meal.” he promised smiling at her as he studied her. “and a warm and cozy bed...” what slave wouldn't want that!?

She had been unsettled ever since she had been here, not allowing anyone near her no matter what, people had seemed to left her on the sidelines, though...as to what she was, it was also unknown. Her eyes, they gave it all away yet hid it all at the same time, she seemed to be the unknown thing around here that was so charming and breathtaking yet she had the personality of a witch to go with it, she was something you could not take lightly that was for sure, for her innocent looks lied to the bone for this young girl.

Currently at a week shy of eighteen years old, the girl was pacing her tiny cage..just like she did day in and day out, she had plenty of thoughts running around her mind yet none of which she spoke, she hadn't spoke once when she had been here apart from hisses and growls that did not belong to just one creature, it belonged to two. Her brown hair fell down past her shoulders in long waves and her pale skin made this stand out all the more, which you could easily see and even more so if the sun shone on her though this was rare considering she normally was tucked away from most people and away from prying eyes though the girl did not know why this was yet, she did not know why she at times seemed to be treated differently..okay so maybe she acted different to others, so what?

Her eyes though, if she ever stood still enough for you to look into them, that was when you would become confused, for everyone should of known the basic colours for each creature, purple for unicorn, red for phoenix, a dark green for dragon and golden for griffin. Though she did not have one colour in her eyes, she had two standing at purple and and green that clashed together, while around her pupils it was purple, the more dominant colour in her eyes, it was clear that around the outside more it was certainly green and not purple, she had never seen herself before and didn't know this. Nor would she of cared if she had seen it anyway, that was something not to her interest as much.

Her personality though, it was confusing for while she could be submissive and flightly at times, she could try to push her fighting a bit and fight against people and orders, until they found a breaking point, but no one had been around her enough to find one yet and so she remained as more a wild part animal then human with slightly animal like eyes and traits in her, standing at five foot three she was not overly tall and her body was quite slim looking like she lacked food a bit which probably was the truth though it might of also been to do with how much she paced back and forth day in and day out, hardly pausing to sleep or rest at all and she never seemed to be out of breath either, also she seemed to keep going, though not once had she spoken a word of English yet, no one knew what she sounded like yet, or her true thoughts about things.

It was on this day though that once again she was pacing back and forth, ignoring everything around her though she would now and then stop and glance up to look at the world around her. Only when she heard someone..or something come closer did she for once completely stop and look up, her eyes scanning the space around her before looking to see who had the footsteps, instantly she gave a small growl before going back to pacing, though she kept her eyes fixed on the person who was coming closer, her growls going slightly louder as more of a warning to back off, not one word of English left her mouth as she fixed her eyes on the person, hoping they would back off and go elsewhere, she was owned by no one and was going to keep it that was..as for her name..she had none, so little was known about her that they had not named her at all and so..she remained as just a she, nameless and owner-less though for how long it was unknown to her.

It seemed the answer to that question would be soon answered as she listened to someone speak who now was right outside her cage, she didn't show that she understood what they were on about as she simply continued pacing back and forth, her eyes watching everything and anything they did, they speaking that they did, she stopped and watched for a second before going back to pacing again. It was only as she felt something around her neck did she stop and hiss, watching carefully the as the chain ended up in his hand, she narrowed her eyes and backed off a bit, pulling against the chain with a clear disliking to it. Even as he swung the door open, she stayed back, keeping her eyes fixed on him now, what did he think he was doing? Who did he even think he was? She stayed where she was. watching him "No." Was the only word she said, pulling back again, her voice had a soft but sharp tone to it, only that proved she meant what she said and didn't want anyone messing with her really. "Let me go" She looked at the chain again then back at him, her eyes still in a cold glare the whole time as she took yet another step back, pressing herself against the back of the cage.

Zarek smiled as he watched her pace, back and forth, back and forth, it was almost mesmerizing watching her hair flutter around her, her eyes shining through the bits of sunlight that fell through the cage. he loved the color of her eyes, how they seamed to clash with themselves and yet enhance them at the same time, shining like no creature he had ever seen before. everything about her screamed to him, he had to have her and her bad temper and gorgeous body. even her growls he did not mind, they where ethereal, tantalizing in their sound and he couldn't help but imagine pinning her tot he floor, those growls filling the air, ot in anger, but in pleasure. he had to fight to keep from reacting right there in the market. she was everything he wanted, and he would have her, willing or not.

he gripped the chain tighter as she hissed, the sound making him shiver, not in fear, but in lust. what a strange man Zarek was. he watched her pull against the Leash and collar, his eyes narrowing a little. "i will take it off once we are in my home." he promised, his voice kind, gentle. not like the others who had tried to own her and had suffered for it. "come now, don't you want to be free of this place?" he asked his red eyes fixed on her multicolored eyes, licking his lips a little, as if nervous. "don't you want to be free of these bars? i have gardens in my home, Gardens only for you, where you can run and walk as you please. i have pools and ponds of water where you can swim and drink the cool clean water. i have blue skies, and sunlight, and even stars at night." he promised, trying to seduce her to him with the promises of all that he had to offer. "i have soft clothes, and warm beds, and food whenever you want it." his eyes fixed on hers he instead moved towards her, stepping into the cage, not a flicker of fear in those ruby eyes that stared at her with such lust and compassion. "you will never need fear a cage, or a whip again." he promised, holding his hand out to her again.

the owner himself was astonished, he had never heard her speak before, he was staring, slack jawed at Zarek and the creature as the Prince tried to convince her to go with him willingly. it would fail, the owner just knew it, what would the young prince do when she denied him again!? rumor of the Princes temper was fabled, would he strike her down or would he go after the owner?! the man quickly made himself scarce so that the prince couldn't take his fury out on him, and the entire pet section had emptied of all but the pets. "come now little one... come now, My Ruana." a name... he had given her a name, he had the highest faith in himself didn't he, that he could tame her? "come home with me, where you will never want for anything." he promised softly, keeping his eyes fixed on hers still before offering her a smile. "come Ruana, life can be wonderful, let me give you the life you deserve."

Staying where she was, she looked from him to the person behind him, the person who owned this place, in her eyes this was also partly his fault but really she couldn't get to him from here, if she would of been able to then she would of, but for now, she would have to set her sights on him instead. Every move, action and sound he made did not go unnoticed to her, she was watching everything he did, when he narrowed his eyes as she pulled against the leash she took that in, watching his reactions to everything, as if she was thinking up in her mind what he could do to her, though she wasn't completely sure yet. She caught it also as he licked his lips and did indeed take it to be fear, which caused her a smirk ever so slightly but then the smirk faded when he spoke again, speaking of her being free and away from here, though she did not seem to say anything else to him, she spoke no more words of their language apart from a small warning growl to him to inform him she was not interested in what he had to offer or to say, she did not take well to being brought and sold like she was some...thing to be owned, in her mind she was nothing of the kind no matter what anyone else thought she wanted to make it clear she was not being owned.

With him trying to pull her in, she listened, to prove she was listening she tilted her head slightly and looked away a bit, listening clearly to everything he said though all the while she kept her eye rested on him and his every movement but yet she still did not reply. Even as she raised her head slowly again to look at him properly, she simply blinked once and growled again, a animal like growl once more which probably meant nothing to any other being apart from a dragon. As he stepped into the cage, she hissed again, moving to the corner as so she was as far away as possible, looking in his eyes for a moment she quickly looked away again and behind her as the owner, watching what he did though she seemed not to pay much mind to it, she wanted to keep her eye on the one who was in her personal space now, the one who seemed to be coming to close for her comfort though she didn't lash out like probably was expected of her, instead she continued to watch him silently, still listening to every word he said.

Her eyes narrowed as he said another word..a word she did not know the meaning of and a word which confused her...Ruana, she stayed silently though just as she had the whole time, summing everything up in her mind which was so active yet she hid it all away and keep her thoughts always to herself. Slowly...ever so slowly she took a few steps forward, closer to him. Though, she kept her eyes fixed on him for even though she looked it, she wasn't stupid as such, sure she couldn't read or write, though she could calculate things in her mind and do what she thought was needed to get to know someone..and that's exactly what she did. Ruana as was now to be her name in a swift movement just as probably was predicted from her..bit him, not hard enough to draw blood nor to cause to much pain, just a sharp quick bite before she stepped back again, her eyes watching to see how he would react, who knew what she meant by the bite, though she did growl again but no word in his understanding had left her mouth apart from what she said earlier, it seemed that she just like that had stopped speaking English once again and gone back to acting like a animal as she proved with the bite.

Curiously she stepped back even more, pulling against the chain again with a roll of her eyes, though she did not for a second take them off of him, she wanted to know what he would do and how he would react to what she had done, she wanted to see what he could be like since to her, first impressions were important and this might even go on how she viewed someone completely after this, just like an animal she tested out anyone who came to near her to see what they would do when she acted like the bitch she could be.

he stared at her, his eyes just couldn't get enough of her. he was a little annoyed that she had stopped speaking... again, but said nothing about it. she had probobly been abused or something, well he certainly wasn't going to abuse her... well, not much. every motion she made he took in and calculated, she was studying him this he knew, wondering if he was being honest. she would see the truth of his words, he had everything set up for her. a large bedroom filled with any kind of clothing she could ever want, magically enhanced to fit her no matter how much weight she gained or lost. her own private bathroom, magically created to look like a natural hot spring, covered in thick soft moss. he wanted to show these things to her, take her through the gardens that he had grown throughout his long life, show her the pretty birds of the Aviary, maybe even get her a pet of her won, a kitten, or a puppy, something small and delightfully cuddly. he didn't want a pet, or a sex slave, he wanted a friend, someone to keep him company... and someone he could fuck, but he would deal with that in a moment.

he smiled as she took a few steps towards him and shrieked when she bit him, hard. he knew she could have bitten harder, he wasn't even bleeding, he wouldn't bruise it just hurt, something he clearly wasn't used to because he dropped the chain to examine his hand, scowling at her. "...OW!" he complained, sounding like a petulant child who had his fingers closed in the cookie jar for the first time. "that hurt Ruana!" a wicked glean entered his eyes. "fine, if you want to behave like an animal i shall treat you like one!" he decided grabbing her chain and yanking her down across his knee in one swift motion. he gripped her tight, but not painfully so she couldn't squirm, away and then brought his hand across her ass, like he was spanking a child. "you...Do...Not...Bite!" four spanks to each word, the stings light, more noise than it was pain, then he let her up and stood before her, his eyes dancing with amusement as he waited for HER reaction to THAT! "Now! are you going to bite me again!?" he demanded, studying her, well aware the humiliation of the act was a lot more painful than the actual strikes had been.

he stared blatantly at her, daring her to bite him again. "i am getting tired of this Game, come now, it is time to go home and i shall DRAG you there kicking and screaming if i must!" he admitted simply, his tone stern, but not hateful as one might have expected. he acted like she was a petulant child who needed to learn who was in charge, or an animal that needed to be trained. in a way that WAS how she was acting, testing him like that, who knew he would test back!? "now if your a good girl, i wont make you walk through the market, i'll teleport us right into your new room, but you have to be good." he ordered sternly, staring at her, his eyes narrowed. "i have a bath already waiting for you and a nice hot meal." vegetarian options and meat options since he didn't know what she would like, in fact hadn't even known what he was getting. "...do you eat meat or are you a vegetarian?" he asked her, looking curious. "no need to try and feed you something you won't like." he mused tapping his lips as he examined her. "now, are you going to behave or am i going to have to spank you again?"

 

[ShadowOfAGirl]

Giving a small smirk she gave a small growl with what he done just to warn she could do it harder if he really wanted her to and she would as well, she didn't want him near her and she didn't want him to come and closer, if anything she would tell him to back off and go and fine someone else who would be grateful for what he had to offer, as it seemed as though she was anything but grateful really in all truth. Giving a small snap at him as he told her it hurt she backed off a bit more again, not caring if it had hurt, she had wanted it to hurt, after all it hadn't been any sort of playful bite really, it had meant to make him go away and put him off. English seemed to of been gone again from her thinking and from her mind for now and as he grabbed the chain again he had dropped and pulled her down suddenly "Hey!" Once again her voice sounded once more from partly anger and also partly from surprise. She struggled against him, now more then ready to bite him again without even thinking about really, if he had been close enough then she would of bitten him again but luckily for him it seemed his arms and hands were out of her reach..for now.

After he had stood up again, she snapped at him, missing him but half an inch before looking away from him, her eyes fixing on something else as she watched someone walk past silently, she didn't take her eyes off of them at all for a minute or so before looking back at him and growling "I will if I want to.." She muttered, shaking her head at him in a irritated manner along with slight disgust. As his words hit her as such, she backed up again and pulled against him still, she narrowed her eyes at him but remained completely silent. At his mention of the word good, she rolled her eyes, she didn't do well to people speaking down to her like he seemed to be doing and it was getting more and more tempting for her to full out attack him, despite her being female and something that would of been seen as dainty and unable to harm anyway she would and could hold her own if needed though because of his magic it would seem unlikely she would win against him and she probably would end up more hurt over it then he would most likely and right now in front of everyone who was around she didn't want to risk it just yet, maybe when they were alone she would if he annoyed her enough or tired anything she didn't want him to do to her, simple enough.

Ruana made a small irritated sigh as she lowered her head slightly and glanced away from him "Like I care.." She muttered in response to both his questions, the first being her about what she ate, it was true, she could probably end up living on either diet without worrying about it, of course she was fed here on just whatever she was given which wasn't all to much in a attempt to weaken her slightly though it hadn't worked at all, if anything starving her seemed to make her worse then she was normally and when properly fed. The second meaning to that came about her being spanked again, she didn't care really though she didn't attempt to do anything else to him, she just stayed where she was silently and fixed her gaze on him in a pissed off manner. Once again though she tried to pull away from him "Take this thing off...it's annoying me. I am no dog.." She growled, a hiss escaping her out of habit as she once again moved closer to him a bit just to see what would happen once she did.

this time when she growled at him, he growled right back! his sound was rather pathetic compared to hers, but it was a growl nontheless. he didn't really care if she didn't want him near her, she was going to just have to put up with it because she WAS going home with him whether she wanted to or not! he spanked her quickly, not about to chance getting bitten again, he knew full well the next time her teeth met his flesh she wouldn't be anywhere near as nice about it. "you will if you want to." he repeated his eyes narrowed darkly now. "your like a spoiled brat, your even worse than i am." he growled, annoyed by her attitude. "you do too care or you wouldn't have looked away from me." he stated smugly. "you do too care else you wouldn't be talking." he stated staring at her. "and i won't take it off. you'll just run away if i do. besides, if your going to ACT, like a dog than you shall be TREATED, like one." he stated simply. "act like the human being i know your capable of and i shall treat you like the human being you deserve." he stated simply, wondering how she'd react to that little bit of news.

"You are Ruana, my pet, or you are Ruana, my friend." he stated simply. "or you are simply Ruana the dead and forgotten. that's what will happen you know, if you don't get sold soon. they wont set you free, no, they'll Cull you, sell your blood and your hair to Dark wizards to play with, maybe even give your body to some necrophiliac bastard who will enjoy your still cold body while your soul watches in horror as everything you ever held sacred in your body is sold, used, and defiled." he stated simply, tugging on her chain. "you want this off? then prove to me that you can be the person i know you can be, stop acting like a rabid beast that needs to be put down and let me help you!" he demanded, his eyes softening. "you might be a pet, but you are a person and i intend on giving you the rights you always should have had. i'll let you make your own choices, live your own life.." he pused, considering her for a moment. "i'll tell you what. give me three months." he ordered simply, crossing his arms. "three months to convince you that you wan to stay with me, three months of being my pet... if, after three months, you still hate me, still want to leave." he smiled. "i will give you I.D. i will give you enough money to live the rest of your life on comfortably... and i will set you free to go wherever your pretty little heart desires."

he knew, that if nothing else caught her attention, that would. she was wild, she wanted to be FREE. he was offering her a chance to earn her freedom, and all she had to do was continue hating him. how hard could it be? he held his hand out to her again. "what do you say?" he demanded, his eyes fixed on hers. "a chance to be free, completely free. you will never get a chance like this again." he warned. "your next master will either rape and beat you into submission or you'll be killed. which would you prefer Ruana?" he demanded. "a life and a chance for freedom, or death?"

 

[ShadowOfAGirl]

Ruana simply gave him a unimpressed and unamused look before glancing away, seeking more amusing things to grab her attention rather then him giving her a lecture, she didn't have a very good attention span as it was and frequently she would start something and leave it halfway or watch someone then quickly loose interest, it took a while to actually fully gain her attention properly since most of the time she would get bored within a minute or two, just like she had now, she no longer was fully listening to him but instead watching the very few people that were around, watching what they were doing silently and how they were reacting to everything, she was quite surprised even to see a few children around but they were quite annoying in her opinion, they didn't know how to act at all half of them and would often run around and get to close to others for their own good and then wonder why they ended up hurt or something like that, though in her mind she found it quite amusing and funny at the same time and often a very small smirk would spread across her lips whenever a child hurt themselves, just part of her very small sadistic nature.

With his words about what would happen to her if she soon wasn't sold, she hardly heard him, the only thing which brought her attention back to him was the tug on her chain and in response he got a growl from her though she huffed and shut up when he continued to go on "I'm acting like nothing..." She simply muttered, in her mind she was acting completely fine and normal, some of the others around of her kind could understand her just as well as she could them but it seemed he couldn't and all he wanted from her was her to speak his language and his only...wasn't gonna happen any time soon, she still liked to speak in ways he wouldn't understand and she would continue to do so as well. Though he did gain her interest with his offer, she then did fix her eyes on him and listen silently and carefully to everything he said and offered to her, letting it all go around her head and then she frowned for a moment...so all she had to do was go three months with him, avoiding him wherever he lived in the house for three months and just continue with her hate and then she could go? Sounded like a decent plan to her, so looking back at him she paused again, not saying anything at first.

After all though, she had no idea what those three months would be like, she didn't know what would go on in them and she also didn't know if he was lying, people had a thing for doing that around here as she had found and so she would have to tread carefully about this and always be on her guard, just encase, after all you never knew with some people. As he held out his hand again, she looked at it then back at him, a very low and quiet growl coming from her but she wasn't one to past down the chance of freedom and even if in three months he didn't keep to his deal, she'd take it upon herself to make herself free if she had to. It was just three months what could possibly go wrong or happen during those? Hopefully nothing. Slowly she lifted her own hand and cautiously put it in his with a smirk as she narrowed her eyes, looking at him still "Three months. I look forward to the end." Was all she said.

he stopped speaking once he realized she no longer was paying attention to him, how annoying! still he couldn't really blame her, he was rather boring. still, it was annoying that he was being ignored, even if he studied her intently. he was starting to realize that, while she looked, and sounded human, she wasn't, not really. she was just as much an animal that made up her genes as she was a human. it was going to be a struggle to understand how she ticked, but he would do it if it killed him. he glanced at the children that had wandered in and sneered as one of them tottered close to the cage. "Beat it kid." he ordered, the little brat just stood there, sucking his thumb and the young prince made an aggravated sound low in his throat before turning his attention back to the woman before him. "you are acting like a rabid dog." he spat back. "biting people of all things!" he complained glaring at her as he continued speaking. what she didn't know was that he couldn't actively lie. the mark on his forehead, the curse from the demon made it impossible for him to outright lie. it would vanish once he gained the crown, it was the Demon's mocking way of trying to teach the prince a lesson.

he could still tell white lies 'no that dress doesn't make your ass look big' 'it tastes wonderful!' 'you look twenty again!' but he couldn't LIE 'no i didn't eat the last cookie' was beyond him if he really HAD eaten the last cookie. but he was starting to find ways to duck around the truth with little twists and turns that would end up helping him when it came to politics... which he didn't participate in. he watched her consider the deal, a deal he had every intention of keeping. if he couldn't make her like him, then he would just go out and get himself a dog or a tiger like he had intended. he smiled and wrapped his hand gently around hers, tugging her over to him, wrapping his arms around her tightly. "don't move." he ordered calmly. and for a second it felt as if the bottom of the world dropped out from under her. and then it came back and she was someplace new. a room, a real room covered in a thick plush carpet with a massive, soft bed in the middle of the far wall. it looked warm, and soft. "sorry but i wasn't sure what kind of pet i intended on getting. you can toss out all that if you want to." the left corner was filled with things an actual animal might enjoy, small balls, toys that squeaked and squealed, small mice that moved on their own. he had wanted the rarest thing there, which had meant a humanoid pet, but he had anticipated most of them being boring and getting a tiger, or a wolf pup instead.

"this is your room." he explained smiling at her as he swept a hand through the room. there was a table, and a thick plushy chair, and a small bookshelf which had probobly been intended for him for when he wanted to read with his pet close by. he moved over to a closet, which was filled with hundreds of outfits. "these are your clothes, their all magicked to fit you no matter how big or little you get." he admitted examining her. "you could use a couple dozen good meals under your belt." he admitted shaking his head a little. "your too thin... those bastards must have been starving you?" he asked blinking at her before sweeping open another door. 'this is your bathroom." just as described earlier, everything was covered in a thick green moss that was almost as soft as the plush bed. it was filled with a hot water that filled the small room with steam. "and then THIS door!" he swept open two large glass doors that led outside into a massive green garden, hot and moist and filled with living greenery. "is the garden!" he admitted smiling at her.

"best room in the palace." he admitted moving out into the Garden and bending down, yanking something out of the garden and brushing it off. it was a Carrot. he moved back inside and indicated a large silver tray that had appeared on the table, it hadn't been there before. "here's your dinner! i wasn't sure what you'd like so i had the chefs make a little of everything." he tugged open the lid and the waft of cooked food filled the air. a large meaty steak was the centerpiece, around it in little dishes where vegetables, cooked and raw, fruit, also cooked and raw, there where puddings, and sugary desserts as well as glazed fruits, chocolate covered strawberries, and in one bowl there was even raw, bloody meat cubed for easier chewing and ingestion if she was a raw meat eater. "... they really did cover all the bases..." he muttered astonished as his own belly gave a loud growl. "... anyway! enjoy your meal, try on some clothes, take a bath, sleep." he smiled at her. "explore if you want, all the gardens are connected and protected by glass walls so people can't get in as they please and mess with the plants." he explained. "no one will bother you in there." he promised heading for the door, glancing at her. "if you want for anything, Call, and i will make sure you get it."

 

[ShadowOfAGirl]

Despite what he had said to her about her acting like a rabid dog, she didn't reply to him for once, merely she rolled her eyes and looked away from him, looking around again with a small smirk on her lips for a moment though it seemed as though she would be getting out of here after all, even though really she hadn't wanted to that much but it seemed as though she had little choice and after all, it would only be three months before she could get out of here and be free one way or another without having to worry about anything or anyone for after all, once she was set free as long as she kept her guard up and was careful about where she stayed and lived then people wouldn't touch her..hopefully but also because of what she was sometimes she did worry if they wouldn't care about what might happen to them and would risk getting to close for comfort to her, which she of course would in response probably try and kill them for in the end, after all she didn't want anything about her to really change as such, she liked who she was and that was final, even if other people didn't like her personality so much, oh well.

As he pulled her closer to him though Ruana gave a small growl though stayed where he had told her, not moving throughout anything as they appeared in her room, well it was more just a room she was going to be staying in for now in all honesty. Looking around though she slowly took in everything of the room and rolled her eyes as she saw the toys in the corner, what did he think she was? Some kind of dog..oh yeah..it figured really with the collar and all. As he spoke and explained to her about him getting some other pet, she simply shrugged at him and wandered around the room, touching a few things out of pure curiosity and then looking at other things without touching, though there was only one thing she wanted to do right now and as soon as he left she would, after all she had a very bad habit of not being able to sleep or even relax when she knew someone else was in the room, it was something she always had suffered from and it probably would never go unless she trusted the person completely but so far she had never trusted anyone in her life and never had anyone trust her either.

When he showed her everything, she took it all in with the quick nod of her head though didn't say anything else to him or speak an more English for now either. "I'm fine.." Came her only response to him about her needing any more food, even though she probably hadn't been fed as much as the others, yes that was quite true, she didn't herself think that she was thin or that she needed a few good meals, after all she never ate all that much anyway even when given food and most of the time she would push it away with the shake of her head and then she would go back to her pacing without so much as taking a very small bite out of the food, she just never had a very good appetite really even when she had been younger but then he wouldn't know that now would he? He knew nothing about her and she wanted to keep it that way as well, there was no way she was letting someone in to her life to let them know her personal business and what had happened to her for her to end up where she was or had been anyway, that was for her to know and him to fail at finding out.

With the food that was left, Ruana looked at it then at him again silently, blinking once before she moved over to the bed and yawned, sitting on it silently she waited until he had gone in fact before she lay down and closed her eyes, even though she was in a new and strange place it didn't take her long at all before she fell asleep, leaving the food where it was without touching it at all, she just wanted to sleep everything off right now and loose herself to the dream world, she hadn't had a comfortable decent sleep for months so this really was something nice and new to her considering how much she loved her sleep really.

he watched her as she crawled into bed, dimmed the lights to a twilight like setting, closed the door, and left her to sleep. when she woke up he was just entering her room with a knock and a new tray of food, sighing as he saw that she hadn't eaten even a little bit of the first tray, but he said nothing, letting her wake up slowly on her own as he moved calmly through to the table, setting the tray on the table and banishing the other one to lord only knew where. he pulled the lid off and the room was immediately full of food smells, Bacon, and fruit, pancakes with bright sweet syrup, fresh strawberries picked from his garden and rarest of all... pure, black Coffee, which he was sipping, but there was a cup there for her as well. there was also another rare treat, hot chocolate, which he was certain she was going to love, if she'd try it anyway. "Good morning." he chirped when she finally rose out of the bed. "i have breakfast here for you, it's good." he looked less than perfect in his sleeping silks, which was just a pair of pants, leaving his chest bare, which was marked with a much bigger version of the mark etched into his forehead.

he didn't glance at her, he was focused on a newspaper, his eyes flicking through the words with ease as he sipped at his coffee, making a small sound in his throat. "one of the manticore escaped it's pen last night." he muttered simply. "tore through half the market..." he admitted blandly. he sounded like he was still sleepy, he probobly was, after all what kind of prince would he be if he was a morning person? "breakfast is really good this morning... there's orange juice, and hot chocolate... you'll like the Chocolate, it's very sweet." he admitted glancing at her, smiling a little. "the owner said that you can't read." he admitted his head tilted a little. "that true? would you like to learn? if your going to be free in three months, you really should learn how to read and add." he admitted. "so no one can take advantage of you." he stated simply, watching her. "i can teach you some magic as well if you'd like... being part unicorn and Dragon i imagine you must have some kind of magic at your disposal." he mused shaking his head a little. "i think some combat skills would be good to, you are a pretty woman after all, men are always going to try to take advantage of that." he admitted simply.

he paused and looked up at her again, his head tilted a little at her. "how old are you anyway? i need to know so i can accurately write up your Identification and citizenship." he admitted blinking at her. "being a prince does have it's advantages." he admitted smiling a little as he blinked at her. wondering if he could ever convince her that she was better off there, with him. she hated him so much it seamed impossible that she would even eat his food, let alone accept his lessons. at least he had taken the collar and leash off of her at some point during the night, the magic that had made them dissolving away without a sign that they had ever been there. "is there anything else you might want to learn?" he asked his head tilted. "gardening? Chemistry? Alchemy? anything you want."

Upon the morning arriving, the girl was still asleep quite happily well, more peacefully then happy really, being happy wasn't something that she had felt in rather a long time and so it seemed unlikely she would be feeling it again any time soon either. Though, after sleeping in for part of the morning silently, finally she opened her multicoloured eyes and moved around a little bit, her hair was slightly messy from how much she had moved around in her sleep though it didn't seem to bother her all that much, the only thing which caught her eye and did bother her slightly was the fact he was just coming into her room and so she wouldn't be able to just sit or lay in silence for a while. Clearly though, she wasn't someone who was happy in the mornings or even remotely pleasant as when he spoke to her, she simply sat up and rolled her eyes at him without saying a word, clearly the whole english speaking still wasn't something she liked doing nor wanted to do all that much unless she really had to, or it was just the simple fact that she couldn't be bothered to speak to him this early in the morning like a normal person would happily.

The smell of the food hit her pretty quickly and Ruana found herself moving closer to where it was and looking over it all silently, trying to figure out what would be the best thing to try even if it was just something to drink. Without even a thought in it, the girl reached over and picked up the cup of hot chocolate and took a sip silently, trying to figure out if it was nice or not it seemed she soon enough figured that out and silently sat back on the bed properly with the cup in her hand. When he spoke again, her eyes flickered over him for a moment before she looked away again and around the room silently, taking everything in she might of missed last night just for the sake of it. "Read?" Was the first word that she actually spoke for that whole morning so far and she looked back over to him with a somewhat confused expression on her face, clearly whatever she had known before in her human life had been utterly forgotten now and she spoke the word as though it was a foreign language and she was trying to find out what he meant by it. When he spoke again, Ruana took a sip of the drink again and tilted her head slightly "What are you on about? Read and combat? What?" The only thing she did understand out of all of that was the magic part, she knew about magic slightly from what had happened to her though the other two just went straight over her head and left her confused though she wouldn't allow herself to be worried about them all that much really, they were just words after all, words she didn't have that much interest in truth be told.

With yet another question being thrown at her, the girl shook her head in response as if to inform him she didn't know what her age was and she didn't know what to guess it as either. Even though she was now six days shy of eighteen, clearly she didn't know this herself. Finally though, with another sip of her drink being took, Ruana growled lightly to herself and also partly to him and glanced at him in a slightly cold manner "Maybe you need to learn to stop using all of these words that I don't understand. I don't find it...." She paused for a second trying to think of the right word she had heard someone use before "Funny...that I don't understand either." After saying that, she fell silent and moved over to look at the other food as she put the cup down having drunk most of it in a sort space of time and after a moment she picked up a strawberry and decided she might as well try it, once again it was something sweet which suited her just fine, apparently sweet food was something that took her fancy rather then sour food or anything else for that matter.
