I am still the princess of Persia, the highborn future queen if I returned to my life in the kingdom of the Persian empire but here on this island I am no-one just the shadow of a slave set free by default. I am fortunate enough experiencing Jason's strength as we are building a house from the lumber of the ship. I wanted to stay in the ship but Jason showed me the size of the ship was hazardous as the ship was leaking we could be swept away to sea if a storm comes. There was the massive leakage in the hull, this ship could become a deathtrap.
Jason has no idea who I really am, I was well known to him by name only as I was hated by most people for my anger bouts ',the princess storms as they called it.' I was well known to all my people, I was a real nuisance. He made jokes about me on the ship when we were both the captains slaves. Jason was on board the ship with his parents when he spotted me. After his parents went home he was silly enough to stay onboard maybe he thought he would get lucky when he would follow me down to the bottom decks as he wanted to talk but I tried to evade him. I do feel guilty for his interest as I could have said no. He made a joke the first time he saw me. He called me Princess Antineba and bowed not knowing that ,that was my real name , but before I could freeze with fear he slapped me on the back and laughed. I could see he was only joking. I know he definitely does not know that I am the missing princess Antineba.
I don't know why my mother gave me that silly name. I know it was a family name but everyone called me Anti or Antix
It was the first time in my life I realized I wanted a life I could not have. It's tough having the responsibility of royalty. I had to admit to myself this responsibility I had really sucks. It was uncomfortable being around him before the night of the storm , he tried to persuade me to join him in his romantic endeavors but I could not...
What if my father found me, Jasons life could be totally destroyed. My tears were not enough to stop my father and make him listen if he wants to hurt someone I will not be the person to pursued my father otherwise. This was always on my conscience it was at one stop I tried to escape and was spotted at the last moment. Trying to jump ship was a great offense it was Jason who did the spotting and he wanted a reward from me. Jason thought he saved me but I know that's not true. There is no guess what Jason wanted...
Actually I was surprised no reprieve came from the excitement my racing heart, I would feel a crazy attraction when his eyes cought mine at the dinner time or anywhere else for that matter. The very touch of his hands was like fire on a burning flame but I could not give in. Even the ship captain said we should as our baby would bring him lots of money. I shuddered at that thought. Just the thought of Jason making love to me was so tempting I was almost at breaking point just before the storm that caused all those people to dash for the lifeboats, it was a wrong decision going for those flimsy lifeboats, I don't know if any of them made it .
Coming back to now here we were carrying wood from the shipwreck to our new home.
I was pleasantly surprised at Jason's knowledge of housebuilding he was a master through and through.
It was a very difficult situation I was in, being the princess no one wanted but respected because of their fear of my father. My childhood was behind me but I still felt the effects.
I helped Jason with the foundation ,the walls and finally the roof of our very cute three roomed home. We brought everything we could from that ship. There was cages with animals on deck, these animals would have been slaughtered for food. The chickens, ducks, sheep and yack, as well as camels were quite noisy but also hungry. We both fed the animal's
It was difficult carrying them from the deck but we actually did just that and penned them into wooden cages. This was hard work but we did just that and more. At least Jason was tired at night as we moved into our house permanently.
It was with a great woop of joy from him I ran to the ship it's the seeds he found we could grow vegetables and other things. Jason was surprised I knew nothing about farming. How could I know anything especially being a princess most of my life,menial labour was not part of my past accept for the time of my being a slave in the ship. I had to learn humility one way or another.
