the servant who left quickly returns with a basket in hand, thrusting it into my arms. "take this" he orders "and follow me. dragging me out of my room and into the garden, he shoves me down next to a berry bush, ordering me to pick the berries. "Gabriel needs you two out of the way for today" the servant informs me "so you will be working in the gardens today. i want you to pick these berries, and when you are done you will use them to feed the koi, before moving on to pick as many oranges as you can" he concludes, turning heel and stalking off without another word in my direction. today is going to be long.

She came back with a basket and shoved it in her arms, she then snatched her pendent from her neck "we know you don't do anything without motivation so get to work and you might get it back" she rolled her eyes evily and walked away stuffing it in her pocket, She didn't want to get mad at her but a wave of sadness covered her face as she started picking the berries quietly

spotting lily at a bush across me, i give her a wave, sneaking over to her. "good mronign" i greet, picking the berries off the bush beside her "hows life with Lucio going?" i ask, curiously.

" he hasn't spoken to me yet am besides he's probably gonna be mad the maid took my pendent he gave me" she said sadly "I don't think she will give it back she hasn't givin me my phone back after she took it last night" she insisted sadly picking berry's

"wait, one of the servants took your pendant?" i ask, appalled. why would they take that? "talk to lucio, he'll probably get it back for you" i suggest, popping a berry in my mouth. it tastes good, sweet, but not too sweet. no wonder the koi supposedly like these things. it doesn't look like any berry I've seen, i wonder what it is?

"I don't know where he is, besides I'm sure he has something better to do" she insisted

"if you insist" i shrug, offering her a berry "i don't think they care if we eat these, the gods just want us out from underfoot" i add, popping another in my mouth "they're pretty good"

When she took her berry's into the kitchen she could see the girl wearing it, she wanted to get mad before a shock ran threw her body from the same collar, they forgot to take it off,some girls laughed at her including the girl that stole her pendent, she walked to her room and locked herself inside cuddled under the blankets, she sobbed silently so no one could hear her

when my basket is full, i bring it into the kitchen, tossing a few handfuls of berries to the koi as i pass the pond. they flock to it, eating the berries before they touch the bottom of the pool. i set the berries on the counter of the kitchens, being handed another one that i'm quick to abandon on the nearest available surface, sneaking off to find Gabriel and Lucio. i am going to find a way out of here.

She sniffles and stays in her room, she wanted to forget about everything and just go home where people don't steal her things and make fun of her, she sighed and waited for the maid to tell me to come back
