Alpha Jaxon Slave Mate

In the year 1776

The environment was buzzing with laughter and joy, giving it a serenity of peace and laughter, there was no sign of any one been a disturbance in the society, the children were seen playing a stone game, each throwing a stone at each other, there were at least ten children who were skipping with ropes making the view relaxing, the village is a peaceful one, different building were located at every corner giving a space at the middle, where some men were sitted playing a gamble against each other, the women were busy with various activities. In one of the house, you can see a girl sewing a cloth, Alexia, she was too big for her age, and she sewed the clothes so perfectly, by using a needle to attach the thread, at the ending side of the clothes then bringing it out , she was so serious with her work that she hardly noticed the sound from the children. With her green eyes which made her face to look more beautiful, bringing out the color of her face, together with her thicked eye brows, a long eye lashes protruding out from the socket of her eyes, with her long white hair, which made her looked different from others, more like a goddess. Della, her junior sister, seems to take over her features, she had almost the same been eyes with her, but hers was a light green, making her look beautiful like a mermaid, but instead, her hair was red, and these made them look outstanding.

"Della, why don't you go and play with the other kids, you are to little for these things, you might get injured"

She told her sister, even her herself knows that she was too small for sewing, but she enjoyed fashion, and making new clothes, her mother always cut the clothes while she sew them together, her mother inspired her to sew.

"You can't tell me what to do, am also a grown up like you, am eight you know"

she said indicating it with her fingers.

"And I enjoy what I do. Thanks to you lovely sister"

She said rolling her eyes. She talks so mature even at her age

"Alexia, Della, can you two stop sewing, its time for dinner, you can continue tomorrow"

But who knew that the next day was going to be what no one ever imagined.

"Della, stand up, mother calls us"

she said packing her items and placing them In a box, they went inside and went to take their dinner, when they heard the sound of their father coming in. They both leaped up in joy and Alexia ran towards him,

" Father, Father, you are back"

Alexia said hugging her Father so much, Della came, stood at the end of the wall and was sulking, Della turned towards her sister then turning back to her Father,

"Father, Della is sulking again, she is about to cry"

She said turning towards her sister

"Della my princess, come hug daddy, he missed you so much"

The man with a brown hair and red eyes said, walking towards the daughter, she ran with a full force and hugged her Father.

"Papa, I missed you"

She said biting her fingers and feeling shy for trying to cry

"You are my princess, you know that right"

Della nod her head at his words, she is really her papa's princess.

He said walking towards the kitchen, to meet his wife.

He could see his wife standing over the sink and washing the dishes.

" Hello sweetheart, I missed you so much"

He said still carrying Della, who was adamant to remain clinging on his body. He hugged his wife and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

"Ewww"

Della said closing her eyes, she could see their parents love each other.

Alexia came to the kitchen, then began dragging her dad's hand back to the sitting room, Della still sitting on the dads neck.

"Mrs Ortega, can I have a food"

he said, He liked the way his home is full of joy and happiness.

They all say down, having dinner, half way through the dinner, they heard shouts from outside. Panic was evident on everyone's faces, then they started hearing screams of people, it was getting louder and louder, Mr Ortega, stood up, walking towards the door, he opened the door slightly, what he saw was terrible, the village had turned to a living hell, dead bodies littered everywhere all over the ground, some houses were already on fire, how did these happened within a short while.

"They are here"

He whispered, closing the door quickly,

"We have to leave here immediately"

"The Granullas are here?"

Alexia's mom asked, feeling so scared, dragging her children with her

"Who are the Granullas"

Alexia said feeling so scared

"They are some group of wicked souls, they could be wolves or vampires Or the gullef, they attack mainly villagers, especially from the human land, because they considered them weak, and they kidnap the children and sold them in what is called a black market to their devilish masters, now don't ask me further questions, we have to leave here"

She said, feeling the need to turn to protect her children, but she was human, she could not fight against those devils, walking towards the children, holding their hands, she pushed them at s corner of the room.

"Della, when I say run, just run along with your sister"

She said now feeling the more need to turn to protect her kids.

"But mum won't you come along with us"

Alexia said feeling scared to leave her mum behind, and her father

"I will come, just follow through the exit, we will try to create a barrier to prevent them from getting In here so easily"

Alexia's mum said, walking towards the door, feeling conflicted, she went to her children, leaving the task for her husband, she went back to where her kids were, removing some blocks from the ground, there was an underground there, Alexia never knew of these, Mrs Ortega entered first to remove the weapons which were in her way, then she told Della to jump in, then that was when they heard a thud on the door, they were here, they were in their house trying to barge in. Thank God for the barrier, Della jumped In immediately, the father going in to bring his gun and was hiding, Alexia was about to jump in the underground when the door opened, she looked up, she saw the most hugest men she have never seen, they were so deadly filled with ugly eyes and disgusting smell, their face looking like vipers, their nose flaring with the hunger to kill, she saw the deadly smile on their face, with their huge Axe, she was scared, not knowing what to do, to protect her parents and sister, she ran, she ran so fast as her legs could carry her, she heard gunshots splattering all over the house, and she heard her papa's voice screaming for her to run faster.

"Alexia, Alexia, please, run, I love you"

She heard her father's voice said. Turning back. She saw a head on the floor, it was her father's head rolling on the floor. A loud scream escaped her lips, she saw her mother already out from the underground, but she could not find her sister, she shook with fear, were they going to kill her mother too. But she heard her mother's voice, telling her to run away, far away from them.

"Run, Alexia run, save your self my daughter"

Envylin shouted at her daughter, that was enough to bring Alexia back to her senses, as she ran faster, running with her little legs which carried her, but she was so little to out run them, that when she looked back, she could see they were catching up with her, and finally, they caught up with her, hitting her with a large stick, she fell on the ground, the only sound she heard was a voice, her mother's voice, shouting her name, before she succumb into darkness.

She opened her eyes, at first, all she saw were holes, thick dark holes, now gradually replaced by the rays of the sun, which made her dizzy, and her eyes feeling heavy.

She felt a pain in her head, reaching her hands before her hair, a sharp pain hit her like fire, bringing her hands down, she could see the particles of dried blood on her head, lifting her head up, she saw herself in a room, she looked around her and she realized that she was not the only one caged in the room, she has never seen children gathered so much in a single room, unless they were been told a story, and she could not remember her parents bringing her in here, her fudgy mind was so slow to grasp what entirely happened the previous day. Looking around her, she tried to start a communication with the people beside her, but they looked.......lost, like they were in a daze and malnourished, and she don't know if they will respond to her. Opting to keep her mouth shut, she hoped her parents arrive soon, from wherever they were, and take her away from these creepy place. Then she felt someone looking at her, scanning through the room, her eyes jammed with another child, who could be a year younger than her, she realized the child was intently staring at her, not removing her focus from him, she realized he was one of the children in the village, how was that possible, looking around, these time, capturing each face, figuring the familiarity in them. She saw Rachel, even with her thick black hair which had turned brown, she recognized her, Rachel turned facing her, she looked surprised like her, Alexia stood up walking towards her, she say down, wondering what must have happen between these few hours,

"Rachel, what happened"

She asked, these didn't look like someone was about to tell her a story,

"You don't remember anything"

She asked, looking at her,

Alexia was confused, how was everyone she knows from the village caged up in here, her thought was cut off, when she heard a scream from the frontage, the door opening, adding light to the room, revealing a huge man, whose figure was familiar, trying to figure out where she had met him, then it clicked in, looking around her again, her heart quickened, remembering what her mother always tells her when ever she had a panic attack like these, breathing in, breathing out, steadily, till you are back to your normal breathing rymth.

She looked around the room again, these time looking for her sister, something was wrong or right, and she hoped her little sister was not in these kidnapped room.

Not able to find her sister, she saw the huge Man dumping a little girl on the ground, maybe she was dead, or terribly sick, and he dumped her like that, like a sack, his face now turned facing her, he was like one of those beast her father tells her in the moonlight, his face rough, wild scars making his face look like a real beast, then the word granullas clicked in her head, where had she heard these before, she thought trying so hard to remember, then again it clicked, these time heavily, she remembered sewing, her father's arrival, the family's dinner, the screams, the banging on the door, the underground, then the breaking down of the door, and her trying to escape but was unluckily caught, but she knew something was missing, a huge detail was missing, then it clicked in, it was a father, she remembered seeing her father's head rolling on the floor, when he had asked her to escape. A terrifying scream erupted out from her lips, and she couldn't stop the sobs that escaped her lips, her father had been murdered, under her eyes, it was a night mare she will never forget, and now, she do not know if her mother and junior sister was alive, was her sister taken too, since she herself was also taken, maybe, she was not gonna see her mummy and sister again, especially her sweet Papa, her visions was blurry, covered with her tears, and she couldn't see the huge man coming towards her.

"If you don't shut these mouth of yours, am gonna cut it open, and you will be sent to an early grave"

The huge man said, looking at her once more, before walking out from her presence.

"Where am I, where are my parents, my family, I wanna go home please, I saw how they had killed my papa, in cold blood, I can't think I can survive these"

She said hoping the huge man pitied her, and maybe free her from these anguish she felt.

The man stopped walking, turning towards her, striding towards her again like a predator, he stopped walking, bending down, he bent down to her eye level, she saw the most devilish face she had never seen before in her entire ten years of living,

"If I hear your voice again, I will make sure I cut off your tongue, plug out your tongue, plug out your eyes and eat them raw little human"

He said now standing up, walking out and closing the door, leaving the room dark once again, with just a little light coming out from the windows, she was scared of having her eyes plugged off, and her eyes eating.

A scent hit her, something which smelt like her, she always perceived that scent from her parents, was her parents here, she turned looking around, trying to know who owns such scent, then her eyes made contact with a boy, he had a blue eyes, and he looked older than her, he crawled towards her, trying to figure out who was, he stopped beside her, sitting down on the little space beside Her, she looked at him, he looked back a smile on his face. He was human like her, she knew he was a human, because only human gets to smell like that, like the way she smelt. And it was unusual, for human to perceive how other creatures smelt like.

"Do you Wanna escape"

He asked, she was surprised at his question, Rachel was shocked too at his words, no one ever tried to escape, from what she had seen, these place does not look like a place for playing hide and seek.

"Yeah, I wanna escape, but who are you"

She asked, feeling cautious And scared,

"Am a human like you, what do you expect, to see a wolf or vampire or maybe a zombie, sitting beside you. Well, I want to escape these place, heard is not a safe place for human like us and if we don't escape from here now, we will be stuck in here for a long time or maybe forever"

He said, looking around him, to know if someone was looking at him.

Rachel looked at the boy, wondering if he was saying the right thing, he might endanger their lives more, Alexia was a human, and she knew humans were weaklings, they might be entering into the trap of the devils. Rachel was a witch, a weak witch, but she could manage the pressures from these dungeon.

"You are a human Alexia, you can't survive here, that I know, but you dying quite early is not what I approve of, we both are ten years old, while he, he looks thirteen or so, he has enjoyed at least three Years of life, while we have not enjoyed that. So I advice you should not leave, let's watch and see what fate offers us"

Rachel said, she sounded quite serious with what she said, Alexia was the only friend she have here, and she needed to protect her.

"But it will be a secret, no one would know we had escaped, and there is nothing to enjoy here"

Alexia said, feeling sad, she knew she was gonna miss her friend, but maybe if she escapes, she will definitely come and save her friend.

"Am a witch do you know that, am not a human like you, but am not escaping, because my instinct told me you would be caught, and one of you would be killed"

Rachel said, her words made Alexia's eyes to widen, she was not expecting Rachel to be a witch, she was always the quiet type, not involving herself in things which can hurt her, but sometimes, when she looks at Rachel before they were kidnapped, she felt something in her, which tells her that Rachel was not normal, now she had figured it out, who she was, and what she had said, she looked confused, if she was to go ahead with the plan.

"Everyone Keeps a secret, so.don't look at me like that, is also a family secret"

Alexia said, smiling at her, forgetting the boy in their midst.

"Now you guys are done introducing yourselves, do you wanna see your family, and also help rescue the children here"

He said, sitting up, her eyes widened at the thoughts of seeing her family, her father was dead, but she does not know about her mother's status, If she was a life or dead, and she was curious to know.

"Why do you wanna help me"

She asked, needing to be sure, he was not one of the bad people.

"Because you are one of us, a human, we help each other"

He said, looking around.

"Do you know how the other creatures look like, because, you keep pin pointing over the fact that we are human, what if am not huh"

She said, making the boy to raise his hands up, acknowledging her statement.

"Am sorry, I just need someone to escape with, we will save other children you know, so maybe lets risk it to save lives"

The boy said, hoping the little girl like him obeys him.

"And do we have to do it now, like escaping now, right now"

Alexia said, emphasizing her point of escaping at that minute.

"Yes of course, we will have to it, since they have not counted the number of children in these room, it will be easier for us to escape, they won't suspect any missing children, and they won't think we can escape, we are so little after all"

He said, sounding serious, then giving her a wink. He had a point, Alexia thought, they would not think little kids like them could escape.

"But, we can't try to escape now, won't we be caught by the big men, who are guiding the iron bars"

She asked, feeling scared of what might happen to her if she was caught by those same people who killed her father. She shivered, remembering what happened.

"No, I have a plan, I open the door, go out first, there is a Passage that leads to the back field, there is a big drum, where we can hide, we can escape, its easy, just follow my lead"

He said, looking so sure they were going to escape the prison where they were locked.

Rachel sat still. Listening to the strange boy's plan, she hoped they were not caught, especially, Alexia.

"But you don't have the keys"

Alexia said, but the boy inserted his hands inside his pocket, as he brought out a Key, it was the iron door key, where they were been locked. How did he do that, getting such key.

"How did you do that, getting such key"

Alexia asked, her curiosity taking over her.

"Let's just say, I know how to play some tiny little games, we all for tricks right?"

The boy said, looking at Rachel, who gave him a shy nod.

"Are you going with us Rachel"

Alexia asked, even though knowing her answers, she still wanted to ask her.

"No, when you successfully escape, tell my parents where I am"

She nodded her head, following the boy, who she was going to escape with and if eventually they did escape, she will be grateful to him. Stepping out from the room, she saw a guard, quickly they hid in a big drum, which covered their tiny bodies, the guards now passing them, due to their tiny bodies, they were not caught. Quickly they dashed to the back door, opening it with a gentle creak, they ran out from the door, towards the field, making their way out of the empty space. They saw two huge gates which led to their freedom, they ran so fast, to their freedom. The boy was ahead of her, running so fast, then they heard a voice.

"Hey you two stop there at once"

At first she didn't stopped running, then she saw an arrow hitting beside her leg, A terrible scream erupted from her lips, the arrow was close to piercing her, and she stopped running immediately. Afraid to loose her life.

"I repeat stop running"

The voice said, but the voice was directed to the other child who kept running, and she saw the arrow hit the boy who wanted them to leave the cage, the little boy who wanted to save her, she watched as the arrow pierced his back and the head of the arrow passing through his stomach and right there, she saw the little boy who was three years older than her fell on his knees, before he fell on the ground, his eyes widely opened, staring at her, as if she was going to promise him that he would escape the prison, a terrifying scream erupted from her lips, as they dragged her back the building.
