( I am confused so please update me? )
[[Here is what happened so far, okay.]]
Everything seemed to blur together; the scene of continuous pipes, the fear that throbbed in her chest...especially the smell of sewage from the lower pipes. Her palms making slight dull thuds as she kept moving forward. A day has passed and yet it felt she has been going nowhere...
-Somewhere in the distant future (cause I didnt want to go through that trama...)
After all of that continuous crawling, it seemed that her freedom was close, a grate seemed to be up ahead. An overwhelming joy overcame her and she crawled faster and looked it over. Pushing it upwards, it eventually gaveway and gave a metalic clank of disapproval as she moved it aside. crawling out of its narrow opening and went to the surface to see....A trivial place. A mansion of somesort. "A....Bathroom...?" She questioned herself before looking down at her entryway. "Well Iguess this is the proper place to be if I came from the sewers..." she muttered. Looking side to side in the elegent bathroom.
{continuing anyhow...}
Ladeaux woke up early the next morning, the little cat-creature curled around her, warm and fluffy. She blinked at the dim sunlight coming through the window, and carefully pushed the cat off of her chest and onto the pillow. She covered it, then padded, barefoot, into the bathroom.
She stopped. There was a girl there. SHe blinked again. Hm?
The girl was still there. "Umm....." she said, quietly.
She stopped, eyes wide as a girl's voice lingered quietly. Luna slowly turned to the girl. God no...Im found already....? "Um...Hello?"Luna said finally, uneasion obvious in her voice. I need to think fast... "I....I am here to do your plumbing...!"
"Plumbing?" asked Ladeaux, brow furrowing. "But...the plumbing is fine." She realized why the girl was really there, and coughed gently. "Well, whatever, it's alright...the house is too empty anyways. Just..." she blushed. "Let me use the bathroom a moment, and you can go bathe. She made a gesture towards the corner of the room, where there was a large, flat-bottomed bath tub, with a pale mint green curtain. There was a shower nozzle as well, attached to a long tube. "Um...if you don't mind leaving a moment, I'll show you how to use it. In a moment..."
There was a long and unsure pause as Luna looked at her. Does she know what I am...? Would she turn me in...? Luna thought quietly to herself. "O-Of course..." She stuttered as she exited the door, closing the door behind her and gasped. The place really was a mansion....A count of some sort must live here.
Ladeaux came out of the bathroom a little while later. She began to tell the girl to enter into the bathroom, but then closed her mouth.
Gathering her thoughts, she asked, "Would you mind coming to see the master of the house first. Don't worry, he's nice...and, um, what's your name?"
She glanced off to the side, sucking in her mouth a little. The girl'd be understandably nervous probably, and she herself felt nervous, mostly because she didn't do too well with people...
Luna stiffined, out of shock she stepped back. For a moment when the girl when she turned her back, Luna had the thought of running. Considering the thought before looking at her again. I shook my head roughly. What am I thinking! I cant see this man, especially a slave owner. They are the kind of people who put others through this kind of mess like me... Looking at the young girl again, Luna forced herself to stay put. "Luna..." She said finally to her. "My name is Luna."
Ladeaux nodded. "I'm Ladeaux," she said softly. "Come on, I've got to wake him up anyways. His name is master Hanxi, and he's.." she paused. How would she explain what Hanxi was? "...not like most lords you'll meet."
She gestured for Luna to follow her, and opened the door to her room, walking slowly and silently down the hallway towards Hanxi's room.
Ladeaux...Luna mused to herself quietly, following behind her closely. This place was big...Too big, but if she was here, than Im sure its a good place. Luna looked up at her to ask about this Hanxi...What did she mean by different? But before she did, she hesitated and shook that comment away. Ill find out for myself soon.
Ladeaux glanced back to make sure Luna was following her, and then she arrived at Hanxi's door. She held a finger to her lips. "You've got to be quiet, he's not a morning person..."
Then she opened the door.
Hanxi was under the covers, a large lump with a bunch of hair sticking out the top. She padded over, shaking him gently. "Master Hanxi," she whispered. "Someone's here to see you."
He leapt up, almost hitting Ladeaux, who luckily dodged just in time. "What? Huh?" he asked blearily. Then his eyes locked onto Luna, and he stiffened, hand automatically brushing his hair over his horns.
"This is Luna. She's...in need of a home," explained Ladeaux.
Hanxi relaxed, though his hand stayed over his horn. "Ohh..." he breathed. "Hello, Luna, nice to meet you..."
[Thats it pretty much. ^_^]
