Chapter one
"If you really want her to survive, you would have to abandoned her. Only her pains, tears, and struggle will make her destiny fulfill." A masculine voice spoke.
"But she is my only child, how can I do that?" Dale answered the man.
"The Oracle has spoken, if you continue to keep her by your side. Bad luck will keep visiting you and the wrath of the gods will be descended upon you. "The masculine voice speaks again.
Dale stared at Ivy, her innocent looking face. Maybe it's true she had a lot of bad energy running around her stars. When she was born, his wife who was her mother died, on her naming ceremony day he lost his brother who accidentally fell inside a deep pit.
He exhales some airs and breath in some air heavily. Ivy has been sick from birth, he did spend half of his wealth to ensure she enjoyed life. But now his wealth is draining, and her health status seems to be deteriorating every day.
"If he abandoned her, won't the mother yell at him and says maybe actually it was because he wasn't the biological father."
Aren't you still going to do something ?" A feminine voice asked.
There was silence, the woman being asked look pale and wore an expensive silk. She has a golden eye with a star pendant around her neck.
Her face was expressionless, probably no remorse for anything she did have done in the past.
"I'm not going to interfere, it is for her betterment. She would be my weakness, I do not need anything that will hinder my plans." The woman says.
"But she's your daughter" the attendant says to her. At the mention of that, her eyes flipped and change colors.
"Oh, pardon my rudeness, your highness." The attendant says and goes down on her knees." But please send her an indirect helper."
"That should be your goals, but you can never ever make the outer worlds to sees that I'm the one helping her. We are preparing for a battle, we shouldn't let a human child hinder our plans. " The woman explain and dismissed her.
"Yes, bring her out. She is a really bad luck." The villagers chorused among themselves.
"Master" a voice called.
"Go straight to the point." Dale told him.
"We should really get ivy out of here, the villagers are coming for her." He reported.
"So?" He asked without flinching or with fears in his voice.
"She might be injured, I heard she will be used up as a sacrifice to the gods of the land to drive away the drought and bad event that has been happening in this town."
"Let them do it then." Dale answered.
"What...?"
"I mean my words, I'm tired of fighting for her constantly. Now she should take hold of shield and buckler and help herself." Dale replied.
"This is not my masters, who are you?" The voice asked.
"So smart of you to have knows that this is not your master. Ivy was born out of the bloom vine. She should be offered as a sacrifice for my boss." The voice says.
"I knew it that my master is possessed." He speaks out.
"Reason?"
"My master cares so much about his daughter and will do anything to save her, but of recent, he starts showing hatred to her." He spouted.
"So, what do you want me to do now?" He says with great laughter.
"I want you out of his body."
"Then to which body if I'm out of this." The demonic spirit asked.
"I don't know." Dale servant replied.
Take her out, we will be burned down this mansion if the product of bad luck is not bought out. The villagers say.
"Yes, bring her out."
Ivy sat with her back leaning against the wall with her legs sprawled to her chin. She shivers and her hands were trembling, her vision becomes blurry.
"Father!" She had called to confirm if he is within her reach to pass her the potion that will cool her nerves. But no answers.
The sound of a cringing blade tearing through the heart of someone was heard. Dale had killed his servant. He pulls out the blade and lick the blood off it.
He stepped out, with his shoes making a dreadful noise.
"Father" ivy calls out again.
"You want my daughter, ivy? I will surely bring her to you, people, at the village square at 6pm. I will adhere to the time, you all should also stick to the time. For now, I have to show her the last respect and Love." Dale explained.
"But I do not wish for her to be killed, you can have her sold off but not as a sacrifice to appease this vast land."
"Shit... This man is talking rubbish. If he stands in our way, let no hesitate to have him killed." A voice said from within the crowd.
"I surely won't give room for that." Dale uttered.
"Tie him up and go in there to bring the evil child out." A voice command with a sarcastic smile formed on his cheeks.
"Don't you all dare to touch my daughter with your bloody hands, she is not an evil child, mind you! "
Ivy was dragged out within a twinkling of eyes." Look she even killed someone, her hands are soaked with blood, here is a liver on her hands. Maybe, she is planning to eat them." The voice said.
Dale stares at ivy and laugh so stealthily, she was probably crying, right? He loves it whenever she is in pains, that has been his major antidote.
"Look at his expression, he seems to be possessed, he is laughing whereas he's supposed to be crying. Didn't he just endeavor to save his daughter just now." A voice says while staring at him.
Both Dale and ivy was pushed into a carriage and were being stoned by the young women and kids.
A while ago, we were going to bring ivy to you as the real cause of the bad event happening in this country, but we met a corpse at their house and this little evil girl had killed him. "Is this all you want us to say?" A voice asked.
"Yes, just say this, and I will make you rich." A rich man voice replied.
"I have heard about you little demon. Since she is a little girl, she should be left out on the snow mountain to freeze to death."
"That is all?" A voice said within his breath and cursed so slowly."
"The journey to achieving our dreams has just be set. The little girl is welcome to hardship, torture, and pains. You promised me you would not interfere in her matters." A voice said from behind.
Ava, the mother of ivy, nods her head and smile. " She might be born through me, but achieving your goals and putting down all my selfish interest is my number one priority." Ava said.
"But I have one request, I want her memory erased."
"So be it."
Ivy cried her eyes out, she couldn't believe this.
Chapter 2
I woke up at the sound of a moving carriage, the light shine directly to my eyes and I close my eyes so firmly.
A gentle hand touches me and I flip. What's your name? She asked me, but I stare with my eyes ousted out.
"It okay if you want to avoid telling me, but my name is sugar, if you did care to know. ERM... I mean, you should know anyway."
Ivy endeavors to recall her name, but nothing was ringing in her head. She tries further, and then she felt a sharp pain in her head. She mumbled and cursed silently, she looked around but sees that they are in a cage and men in uniform with deadly weapon were walking with them.
" Where are we?" She asked
But sugar reply her that she is also ignorant of the location just as she is, but it seems like they were being captured by a slave trader.
"What is a slave trader?" She asked
are you kidding me that you don't know what a slave trader is? Okay. We are slave capture by this people, our Fates are in their hands, and they are our master, we have to obey them or else they decide our fate.
"Okay," she nodded her head and keep mute.
"Take this and eat, have you eaten anything today?" Sugar said to her.
Ivy smiled, and her stomach growled, and she stretch forth her hand and took the bread from her.
"So, what are they going to do to us?" Ivy asked amidst curiosity.
" Sold to a brothel, killed, sold as slave to a high-class family, used as a laborer or anything else."
"You don't mean all these." Ivy says, demonstrating with her hands.
"I'm not the one doing it but them." Sugar blurted.
The carriage halt, and the soldiers ran up to them and drag them out. They were whipped with a dangerous whip and pushed down.
Ivy was confused, she feels weak and dizzy. Her skins were smooth like satin and cheeks were red and pink. Her lips were red and hot. She has long eyelashes and a pointed nose. A straight leg, she is very timid and small. She has a small face, she is probably in her sixteen or seventeen.
They were pushed around and forced to walk on their feet. They were bound with shackles from their hands to their ankles.
Move, the guards said in a deadly tone, and the girls panicked.
A girl fell down, and she was whipped with a whip, and she gave up the ghost.
The girls scream in fear and the dead girl was thrown off from the Cliff.
"Where do you think they are taking us to ?" Sugar asked ivy and ivy keep mute and wave her off when she set out to say in other words.
Sugar feels pain by this attitude of Ivy. Is she attempting to be proud, even when they are in the same shoes? They are slaves now, so she should drop her pride and accept the reality.
Dale walks through the forest on his way going home, he was attacked by the slave hunters, he was shackled and bound then tied to a horse when he walks on feet.
He was walking for seven days without water and food. He might die soon, he hopes ivy will be in a good hand.
Now he regrets the fact that he left his daughter alone in the cold and abandoned her.
He's going to be a slave. Then what is ivy going to be?
The head of the slave hunters ask the guards to pour some waters on Dale when he passed out.
"He isn't responding, but his pulse is positive." " Throw him in the carriage, when he wakes up, feed him with little water and crumbs of bread."
"Yes sir."
"Now let go." The head of the slave hunters says, and they all rushed back to their work.
In Slovakia, Raj is the most respected person, which the countryman loves and cherish more than the king.
They feared him, recently he has been visiting the brothel, he didn't just feel too happy, he is searching for something that will make him happy. He has married his wife out if love and beauty. He loved and cherished her then, but now he didn't just want to be around her.
Cool music was playing in the background, many girls were surrounding him, each filling his cup with alcohol.
He attempted to laugh, but he just got so pissed off and irritated at every single touch of the girls.
He decided to stand up and goes to the Riverside to fish.
Furthermore, he was seated in a canoe, beside him were a pot to store the fish he caught.
But it seems like he isn't in the mood to fished, so he just sat there with his hands to his chin and direct his gaze to the moon.
Why is he so sad all of a sudden? " He needs an heir, he needs a girl who is going to make her happy."
Next tomorrow is the day for slave market and the slaves will arrive tomorrow.
"What are the present orders that we have at hand?" A masculine voice had asked.
Tim Tai brothel needs twenty female slaves, will pay double of the price if they are virgins and naive.
"How many do we have in stock? "A make voice asked:
"Fifty." The servant reply
"That is so good."
"I will take my leave now, master. "The servant says.
Of course, feel free and brings some girls for my wolf to eat.
The man nodded and rushed out.
Wait, he says, and the servant halted. Let leave it until tomorrow. I want fresh meat for my wolf.
"Alright Master."
The sun goes down with my fate down, the pain of not knowing who really I was, pains me to the core.
I might have fallen from the sky, since I can't remember anything special about me.
"Will you be my sister?" Sugar asked me, though she is a bit taller than me.
Chapter 3
Freed the slaves, take them out for auctioning but before that leave behind twenty-five slaves they are needed at the brothel.
"Alright. You you you, moves to the other side."
"Leave five fresh and timid girls for meal." A terrifying voice has ordered!
"Alright" the latter replied.
Ivy, sugar and their other girls were counted behind for the meals.
"Are they really going to feed on us? Maybe the master is a carnivorous being." One of the girl lament.
"What is a carnivorous being?" Ivy asked.
"Aissh.... Don't be dumb to the extent that you will say you do not know the meaning of a carnivorous being." A tiny voice uttered.
Ivy nod her head negatively.
"Do you want me to show you an example?" One of the girls asked.
And ivy nod her head answering the girl.
The girl gave a devilish smile and walk at a slower pace to ivy. She asked her to stretch forth her hand .ivy stretch it forth, and then she took ivy hands and rub it so gently and then all of a sudden, she placed her teeth on it and bite off her skin.
Ivy attempted to scream but couldn't scream, she was staring at her hand as if a life left her.
"Why would you do that?" Sugar asked.
"She was making a fool out of us that she doesn't know what a carnivorous being mean, so I'm showing her and teaching her. Any bad?"
"That's bad, what if you had to bite off her vein, she might bleed to death." Sugar replied.
"Who cares? We are all going to die. Surely that is certain, but we do not know the kind of death."
Life is so beautiful here than there. Immediately we are release from this dark room to face the outside light, death might be waiting for us and if nature do many loves us, then we did been sold off as a slave or prostitutes.
"I ain't going to do that." Ivy cursed loud.
"I know you ain't going to do that, I guess you are a newbie. Look, no one is going to pet or beg you to do some work. You will be killed mercilessly for not even doing the work properly, not to mention that you refused."
"You want me to dash you some money?
If so, please, whenever you are, don't hesitate to follow your master commandments or order if you know what good for you."
"Understood?"
"Bring your hand, girl, let me bandage it for you with my band."
"Sugar," ivy called with a calm but sad voice.
"Yes," sugar answered
"What is my name?" Ivy asked without shame.
"Your name? "Sugar calls out the word one after the other.
"I don't know your name, but how about I named you gift or Chloe?"
"Anyone you give to me, I will accept, but I think I love the gift."
"Then Gift is guaranteed, feel free to use it."
"What does our parent look like?" She asked again.
"I don't know, but I think you are somewhat funny, and you make me speechless." Sugar spout.
"Alright," slaves comes out.
"How about you come watch a good scene at my field today at noon." Gilbert uttered.
"Good scene like?" Sarto asked.
"Good scene like watching my wolf eating some live delicious meat."
"I would love to see to that." Sarto answered.
"I'm so sure you wouldn't want to miss out but mind you, my scenes are not for the weak-minded people or people who are afraid of suspense story."
"How many wolf ?and how much food? "Sarto asked.
"Just two wolf and five fresh meats." Gilbert says and giggles.
"It will be so fun to watch than hanging out at the brothel. "Sarto says and hissed so slowly.
"I might gift you a survivor from the hunt." Gilbert utter to Sarto.
"I don't need your gift but let sees to that first." Sarto replied Gilbert.
"Tim Pie!" Gilbert called louder.
"Yes Master" he says, running to Gilbert direction.
"Have the game prepared against twelve in the noon and the wolf starved."
"Okay master."
"Bring them out, stripped them off their cloth and gives them this sack cloth to put on."
They rushed and took the sack cloth from them and wore it with a tag on them.
The field is a bit wider, the wolf were locked in a den in the middle of the field.
It really difficult to let a wolf out without one of the guards being taken down.
The girls were dragged to the field and forced to face the sun with their eyes opened.
"Alright, how about this Sarto, a tag is placed on them there for me and two for you if my prey survives then it will be gifted to you but if yours survive they will be gifted to me."
"That is cheating! Wave the idea off, I might take my slave home while you cried on your pillow."
"Alright, do as you want, why should I worry when I have plenty of slaves around me."
"What are they going to do to us now?" That we are standing out in the field with our face directed to the sun.
This is too bad! Sugar lament.
Ivy keep mute and stares directly at the sun. " Hey, are you an immortal or what? You opened your eyes so widely to the sun, isn't it affecting you?" Sugar questioned.
Ivy smiles and nod her head.
Now to the field we go, we have twenty more minutes left. Ten minutes to ride to the scene and another ten minutes to be composed at the scene.
Now the last to arrive is a fool... Gilbert says, but before he could finish his statement, Sarto alr6eady speed off, leaving Gilbert to be surprised.
He jerks off his Cloak and hissed so loud then kicked the horse and rode off in a speed.
Dear Ivy, the reason I named you ivy was because you were a gift from nature. I regret selling you to death now, look nature already taught me a lesson that I would never forget.
