~Pricsilla~(February 13 79AD):
I heard people coming.
"THERE HE IS!! KILL HIM!! GOO!", One of them shouted.
I took that as a red card. I pulled this noble idiot up onto his leg and then onto MY horse.
"Daryun!! Go as fast as you can!", I told my horse.
"You talk to your horse?! Just like some-", he started and I interrupted him.
"Yes. I talk to my horse. And no, I am not a lunatic."
"Lunatic was not the word I intended to use. Retard was.", I turned back and found him grinning at me.
"You know what? I am gonna KICK you outta my horse and watch them kill you!", I snapped at him.
"You dare!"
"Yes!! Beg me if you don't wanna be kicked out!"
He grabbed the lead rope from my hand and took control of the horse.
"My horse!", I screamed.
"Now it's mine!", He taunted me.
We rode in silence. And wow, he rode the horse pretty smoothly. Not only that, he was able to get rid of the followers pretty soon (no, am not PRAISING him. It's just... Whatever!)!
"You sure talk a lot for a young man!", He continued, "Where do you live?"
"I don't even know where we are!", I replied.
"Just tell me where you live! And stop arguing."
"Inside the city, beside the famous banyan tree."
We rode back in silence.
After reaching, the first thing I did was to demand money for saving him.
"Don't have any!", He bluntly replied.
"But you're rich!!"
"Look, I am the famous noble man, Atticus's son. And as everybody knows, he died recently. My uncle, stole all the inheritance that was meant for me and kicked me out. Not only that, he hired some men to kill me! Now am homeless... So you've got to take responsibility for saving me and let me stay in your house."
"So basically, I saved you so that you can drain all my resources?!"
"No I can give you back the money when I get my revenge... Assuming I remember you...", He taunted me again.
I grabbed his face with my hand and brought him close to my face.
"Oh yeah?! Then look at me! Stare at me till you remember me!! You will stare until you see me in your dreams!"
"You mean nightmares?", He grinned.
"Yeah nightmares", I snarled at him.
The night passed, and that asshole took my bedspread!! I had to sleep on the cold floor, in MY house!!
(February 14 79AD):
Someone shook me.
"How long are you going to sleep?! I am hungry!!"
It was that asshole.
"Look we need money to buy food. And I don't have any.", I explained.
"So what are we gonna do?!"
"Steal!", I grinned.
"Oh that reminds me, you are that boy with black wig, that I bumped into that day!!"
"Yes. And that still doesn't change the fact that I have no money."
"Why do you want to wear the wig anyway? People think bald men are brave!!"
"I don't look brave, I look more feminine!! Now let's get going!!", I changed the topic.
We walked into the crowds of the market.
"This doesn't feel right. This is wrong!", He said.
"This is what we poor people do for a living! You have to live in my shoes for a few days, whether you like it or not.", I replied.
I silently pickpocketed a coin pouch. My stupid companion did nothing.
"150 coppers. Enough for a few days." I said.
"I am feeling sweaty after all the hard work"
"You did nothing!"
"Let's have a nice bath in the nearby river!!", He suggested. I agreed.
"Remove your clothes! You can't have a bath with those thick clothes on!!"
Then it struck me. I was a girl!! And he didn't know it because I was hiding my identity!!
"I am going to have my bath somewhere else!! I need some private time for myself.", I said and left hurriedly.
