Chapter 7 - THE HEIGHT OF WICKEDNESS II

You'll take the girl 7 in the morning at Ring road, she passes that route to get water every morning and also 30 gold coins that's final, Uncle Donovan said. She's a virgin and is young so she's worth it, my aunt said, then the voice i didn't recognize said 25 gold coins that'll all I can pay.

Andronika is very beautiful, I'm sure you can sell for more than 30 gold, I've seen her body firsthand and it's nicely shaped, my eyes widened in realization it was felix speaking, i couldn't recognize his voice immediately because we hardly spoke to eachother and when did he see my body. Luckily my aunt asked Felix the question that I wanted an answer too and he replied, I've seen her bare body a few times through the hole on the door of the bath house and all my aunt had to say was my son has becomea man and my uncle laughed.

I was shocked I never thought Felix was that perverted, I felt weird because he had seen me naked. But then it hit me, my family was trying to sell me and no messanger was at the house , I immediately panicked and dropped the cup in my hand, i knew they heard the sound, so I ran into the room and pretended to be asleep and sure enough a few minutes later my aunt walked in, to check if I was asleep when she left I waited a few minutes before I jumped the bed, i needed to get out of here as fast as possible, I didn't want to be sold, yes I needed to run and fast and now, alot of thoughts were running through my mind, how could they be so heartless I wanted to cry but i didn't I needed to be strong .

I immediately packed some of my clothes and the little money I've saved from the ones Elder Athena gifted me and some of Aunt Ophelia's forgotten change each time I go to the market. I also went into the kitchen to get some food, I wasn't planning on spending the little money I had on food too. I crept into the kitchen, packed some bread and water, not too much so my bag won't be heavy then I heard footsteps, someone was coming I quickly hid my bag behind the door and when the person walked in it was Felix, I wanted to walk up to him and slap him for looking at my bare body, but i decided not too.

He was suprised to see me and asked what I was doing in the kitchen by this time, those were the first words he has said to me in 3 weeks, To get a glass of water, I lied. He didn't believe me so i continued, the jug in my room was empty I couldn't refill it because I'm sick and have been in bed all day, he seemed to believe me and offered to walk me to my room because I was sick but I knew he offered just to check if my jug was truly empty, so I agreed then drank a glass of water to make my lie more believable.

When we got to my room I purposely knocked the jug down to show him I wasn't lying and he seemed to be finally convinced. A few minutes after he left, I walked into the kitchen, took my bag and came back to my room. I decided to run away tomorrow, according to my uncle I would be kidnapped on Ring road, so I decided to leave the house like I alway did in the morning when I want to get water, but this time take the route that led out of our town pondville, because running away at this time wasn't safe, the chances of getting caught are high because Felix is in high alert and also I was still sick and still felt a bit weak, I needed to rest a little.
