We are in the carriage, at this moment, we stay there and wait for it to deliver us at the building where we will be working as spies. It is a risky mission since we are fighting a noble family with such great powers and who are probably not even humans. Hope it will not be as troublesome as it was the first noble family we fought a few months ago.
On the carriage, only I, Fiona and Josh are there. Josh is equipped in heavy armor while Fiona and I are wearing dirty clothes those slaves used to war, now they are in chains, but they still wear used clothes, but not as dirty and cut as those. I do start to feel bad for them, since I have their memories in my head.
As the carriage continues to travel at a high speed, we stay still on the seats, and we looked at the windows outside waiting for our destination. Outside it is the moon, beautiful full moon, on a sky without any clouds. Josh, deciding to break the silence, he asks us.
"Are you prepared?"
"Yes." replies Fiona in a cold tone.
"Yeah…" I say feeling a bit worried. "Hope this would work out good."
"It would be. As long as you remember your role." says Josh with encouragement, while Fiona did not say anything.
I don't know why, but I feel nervous in her presence. She is not looking good, and I do not say in a sense that she is sick, no she is feeling angry. What kind of memories does that woman in chains had at that place?
"F-Fiona." I say to her, ignoring Josh in the room. "Are you alright?"
"I am fine, Judah." she says in a normal tone.
"A-Aren't you nervous?"
"No. I-I am not." she says to me, but I could feel her right leg shaking a bit.
"I have a bad feeling about this." I say to myself.

After a while, we arrive at our stop. Here we are getting out of the carriage, and Josh comes at us, he ties our hands with normal rope, and he tells us as he ties my hands.
"We are not going to let you alone. We will be deploying a small squad near the location in case something bad will happen."
"Who are the people in that squad?" asks Fiona after Josh finished tying my hands with rope.
"I don't know." responds Josh going at Fiona to tie her hands with another rope. "But the information told me there will be at least four knights, that will intervene in case things are not going well."
"I understand." responds Fiona to Josh.
After Josh finished the tying, he looks at both of us, he ordered us to follow him to the house, act tired and beaten. We did our best at acting, and it will probably make the family think we are the true slaves.
We walk for a few more minutes, and we arrive at the door of a big building. I looked at it, and I was surprised to see two floors building, in the middle of the forest. How could someone not notice a building as high as a tree at three meters. Josh knocks at the fence door of the building, and from there, two people are opening the door. Two big people, armed with spears, knight armor and looking dangerous. They look at Josh, who was twitching a bit, and looked at us. They saw we are shaking and at the brick of collapse.
"Are these the people your King captured yesterday?"
"Yes." responds Josh. "These people were seen in the central square, stealing from food and after some discussion, they told me about this location. I do believe these people work for the Thornosian's family."
"You are right." says the other knight. "Mister Thornosian's was waiting for your arrival. You can hand them to us, now."
Josh makes the way for I and Fiona disguised as their slaves. We are approaching the gates in a tired act. As we got closer, the guards of the house are inspecting us closely, and after a few seconds, they look at Josh and told him.
"Mr. Thornosian will be glad to have his slaves back."
"Glad to help." says Josh, and he leaves this area.
The guards are closing the door, and they are looking angrily at us. One of the guards grabs Fiona face, jaw, and he yelled at her. Fiona was acting scared to make this believable for the Thornosian guards.
"You wrench! How many times have we told you to not run away?! Huh? Want to get raped, again?!"
I was trying to tell the guard to stop, but the other, just kicked me on the ground, and he punches my face for three times. As he was about to punch me for the fourth time, the guards suddenly stop, looking at the direction of the house. I looked there, and I saw it, the big man of this family.
"What is the meaning of this?" asks the Boss of Thornosian's family.
"I-I…" stuttered the guard. "We got the slaves, sir. They have been taken back."
"I can see that." says Mr. Thornosian's boss. "But why are you beating them right when he left? You two could have risked being fired from the King himself, even executed if these slaves were able to tell them all the dirty things we are doing here." the leader walks to our direction.
The guards are leaving us alone. Letting Fiona get free, and the one getting up from my body.
Thornosian Boss is looking at our faces and clothes, then he turns around, and told us.
"Come inside. You two have to prepare dinner."
I looked at Fiona, who was almost beaten. I was not afraid of her releasing a rampage, I am more afraid if Fiona will be able to cook properly for this man.
We walk to the house, as the guards are going back at the main fence and guard the big doors.
