The Day

    I had gone to fetch the things my mother sent me into the next town over to get. I double-checked the ingredients, after all, it was my younger sister's ( Mina! ) birthday. It was such a crisp blue sky I looked into as I began to make my way back to the village. My sister was probably sent out to the neighbor's house to play with their daughter, while my parents prepared.  I could almost taste the rasberry cake my mother always made for our birthdays. I knew it was worth the trip for the things she needed.

    Walking along the dirt path, it wasn't long till that opal blue sky became clouded with black smoke, ominous as it was.  I began to walk faster, and as I crested the grassy hill before me, what I saw anchored my feet in shock. The whole village was ablaze, glowing embers fluttering up to the trees and  quickly dying out. I heard a thump, and looked to see I had accidentally dropped all the ingredients I was sent to get. ( The errand that made me the sole survivor of that town, of my family...) My mother's face instantly came to mind, and I ran to our little house, hoping that it wasn't like the rest of the village. My hopes were dashed as I ran up to a flaming cottage, and tried to see inside. I screamed my families names, one by one, hoping to get an answer.  One came but not the one I expected.
Something struck me from behind. I was out before I hit the ground.

    I woke slowly, my head throbbing, as I shifted my eyes to look at the surroundings. I saw red and blue silks hanging from the walls, and food on the table before me. But as my mind fully unclouded, I realized I had been given something far worse, a cage that was to be my space for quite some time. As I stood, I noticed a man I hadn't seen before sitting at the table. He glanced at me, then rubbed his hands together. "Finally," he said "we can have some answers. How are you faring, young one?" I rubbed my head and found the large bump that had been left as proof of being struck. I looked back at this man, and ran to the bars. "My mom, my dad..." I crumpled in a heap on the floor of my cage. "You have to help them!" I looked back at him. He kneeled by the cage, and reached in with a tenacity and strength I had never seen before. I was struck back, not hard enough to knock me out, but enough to quiet my sobs. He turned his back to me, and said " I did help. Unfortunately the adults decided that they wanted to keep the slave labor we were looking to...acquire."

I was fed off scraps from Fedri's table, more not than often. I learned later that while our parent's had died,  the children had been 'rescued' for much more diabolical purposes. Fedri ran the biggest black market known to our country, and he only lived to serve himself. I also learned that he was very easy to anger. As a result, he had my tongue removed. A few days beyond this, some of Fedri's business 'companions' visited, and he had brought in almost all the children from our village. Mina was among them. She was cleaned up, but she looked tired, beaten and weary. I almost cried not being able to call her name. But I somehow managed to get her attention. She broke formation with the slaves, to hug me... and she died for it.

I had hit my breaking point, gone well beyond it. I don't know what happened between the time I blacked out and the time I woke, but I woke to a room full of the dead.
