Sayerin flinched, not looking at him.
"leave me be...."

John sighed.
"I can help you. I can free you."

"And where would I go?" Sayerin whispered, starting to cry. We wouldn't he just leave her be?

John shrugged.
"That is your choice. That's the beauty of it. You'd be free to do as you choose."

Sayerin put her forehead against the tree trunk, not saying a word. Her wings curled around her as much as they could, as if to shield her from John as she cried silently.

John blinked.
......why......is it bothering me so much?
For a brief second, instead of Sayerin being there, he saw his sister.

"why are you so insistent on this?" Sayerin whispered meekly.

John blinked.
"Well.....it's just....not right for you to be denied freedom."

"But what does my predicament matter do you?"
|
|

Post by ZeroVX on Jan 20, 2008 16:15:19 GMT -5
John shrugged.
"It's just how I feel. No one should be denied freedom. No one."

"My life is of no concern to you... leave me alone," Sayerin whispered.

"Sorry, no can do."

"Why not?!" Sayerin exclaimed, turning to look at him.

John shrugged.
"Just can't."

sayerin stared at him for a long moment, then jumped from the tree and started running back to her owner's house, stumbling a bit.

"Fine.....see you later, kid."

Sayerin stopped just outside the clearing to the small house, glancing back fearfully. He hadn't followed her... But she couldn't go to her owners without the firewood. With a whimper, she slowly eaded back to where she had dropped it, praying he would be gone.

John laid back in the tree, ignoring that she'd come back.

Sayerin glanced up at the tree, skittering around it fearfully. Picking up the firewood, she started to head back, then paused and looked up at John.
"If... If you require anything else, they can help," she whispered before hurrying away.

John lazily waved a hand, as if to say "no thanks".

Sayerin put the firewood in it's spot, started the fire, and got some water started for supper when the cook stopped her.
"Silence, go get some mushrooms for tonight's meal," she ordered, handing the girl a bucket. Sayerin bit her lip, then nodded and headed BACK towards where the strange man had been.
I wish.... I wish I could find my real home... she thought to herself with a sigh as she passed the tree.

John overheard her, but didn't say anything.
I'll wait until later...

Sayerin quickly filled the bucket with mushrooms, then hurried back tot he house, handing them to Cook before going about her chores. As her owners ate dinner, Sayerin sat outside, looking up at the sky... same as she did every night.

John looked inside.
They'll be done soon.....

Sayerin leaned against the wall.
They'll be done soon... she thought, unknowingly echoing John's words with a sigh.

Didn't I just think that?

Sayerin sighed softly, resting her head on her knees as they all started talking again. They were done eating, now they were just socializing. She'd be called in soon.

John leapt down, then dashed over to Sayerin.
"OK, time to go. C'mon."

Sayerin flinched at John's sudden appearance.
"What?"

Post by ZeroVX on Jan 20, 2008 17:34:36 GMT -5
John pointed into the forest.
"We're going. Hurry, before you're called."
