1347 Words
After many days and weeks spends by them travelling to cross the desert, they now arrived to a city of trade and civilization. Fatima was still unconscious throughout the long journey that seems to last forever. After their arrival at the coast of the Nile,they all seems exhausted,so Kadamir and Kashmir decided to move on and rent a lodge where they can spend more days,before moving to their destination. They took the men's lodge,while Fatima was taken to the Girls guests house,which is the most beautiful guests inn in the town.
Kashmir gave a lot of money to the woman in charge even though she isn't the owner of the inn,to make sure she provide anything Fatima needs.
In the morning, Fatima woke up so confusing and she look around her environment,wearing the most elegant dress she has ever seen before.
Kadamir and Kashmir woke up with the other slaves,one of the slaves,much older than the others insists to serves the brothers but they refused.
"Every human being was born free. I see no reason why you should serve us." Kadamir said,in a stern voice.
"if you leave us here we've nowhere to go,you're the only ones we know." The older free slave said,softly.
"Yes!" The other free slaves said,in unison.
"OK i understand you now." Kadamir said
Kadamir calls up for Kashmir and asked him about what they should do with the free slaves.
Fatima woke up,looking around the house with a smiling face.
"Do you like it?" The woman behind her asked,softly.
"Pleases where am i, Fatima asked,curiously.
"You are at Girls guests inn, the beautiful place in the whole of Misra!." Said the woman,with a smirk.
"But how do i get here?" Fatima asked,sounding more curious.
"A handsome young man brought you here yesterday." The woman replied
Fatima begins to think about this handsome man that brought her here. Perhaps Fatima was very beautiful young woman. She was tall, fair and lanky, with a oval face displayed a long pointed nose,like tuwarek.
Fatima was still not comfortable with the environment,she was thinking whether she was sold as a slave again.
"Are you okay my lady?" The woman asked
"Hmmm, yeah am fine!" Fatima said
"Are you sure?" The woman asked
"Yes!" Fatima replied.
"Okay,so if you're ready come downstairs to take your break fast" the woman said,tenderly.
The woman walk away and silently close the door
But still Fatima doesn't trust the lady.
"There are reasons why Fatima seems to worry about the young man that brought her here." The man said.
Before Fatima was rescued by the two brothers. On her journey, with the chain in her neck. She was r***d twice by the Slave seller and that has put her in a lot of trauma. So she was scared after learning that a man brought her to the inn,not to mention a young man.
Fatima decided to get rid of the thoughts in her head and goes downstairs. She was looking at the environment up and down, because this was very strange to her. She never see a place like this before in her life.
Kadamir and Kashmir decided to take the slaves with them to the capital, where they can have more opportunities to be free, and begin a new life.
"We are getting late " Kashmir said,in a warning tone.
"Okay, guys lets move!" Kadamir said,in a hurry.
They rushed to the Girls guests inn, where Fatima is
to get her. After their arrival at the hotel, The woman in charge, came to them with a devastating news that Fatima is nowhere to be found.
"How did you let her get away?" Kashmir asked,in fit of anger.
"I Swear, i don't know how it happened!" The woman said,sincerely.
"It's okay!" Kadamir said,tenderly,holding Kashmir by the arm.
Kashmir was so angry when he heard this bad news. But still he was like asking himself "why did i brought her here alone?"
"It's okay,don't bother yourself,we'll get her back. In fact,she can't get away because this is Misra" Kadamir said,in a convincing tone.
"Now the best thing we should do, is to start searching for her. Before she got herself into trouble." The older free slave man said,with an idea,whose name is Mudi.
"But we don't know where she went" Kashmir said,with a nervous sigh.
They took out a map, spreads it out on a table,then give themselves the directions to go in other to find Fatima.
Kadamir and all the others searched for Fatima the whole day,but couldn't find her. They have searched every place in the town they believe she could be.
"Fatima!!!" Kashmir said, loudly.
"It's getting late. And Fatima is still nowhere to be found. Kashmir decided they should just go back because the weather is changing and it looks like it's going to rain.
Fatima was walking alone in a deserted yard somewhere in Egypt,with her arms clutching her chest feeling the weather changing gradually. As she was walking through the trash,scattered everywhere in the yard she thought about the place Kashmir took her,and wonders what on earth is happening there since she left.
Suddenly, Fatima heard footsteps behind her which seems to startle the living daylight out of her. She halts in her tracks,turns around and find two men dressed in rags approaching, smiling hungrily as they looks at her,that's when she realizes that her beauty has just put her life at stake again.
"Looking for a good time honey?" One of the men asked, in a chuckle, as he and his friend stops few feet away.
"What do you think beautiful? We promise to go easy on you" the other man said,with a vicious grin.
Fatima could feel her heart slamming in her chest,racing with thoughts of what to do next and how to escape these brutes with bad ideas,in one piece. At that moment she thought about why she even left the girls guest inn.
The men lurched towards Fatima hungrily without any second thought about who she's or where she came from. They're just consumed by their unquenchable desire to r**e her. But Fatima took off as fast as possible to escape these brutes as they chased her through the deserted yard.
Kashmir,Kadamir and the five free slaves were walking on a crowded street,apparently exhausted from trying to find Fatima even though she's nowhere to be found as if she doesn't exist at all. Kadamir gave his brother a side look studying his expression, and could see how desperate he's to find Fatima.
"We'll find her,i promise." Kadamir said, sounding convincing.
Kashmir sighed nervously as he looks ahead,but before he could respond he saw a girl sprints out of a yard chased by two men wearing rags. He suddenly recognizes the girl to Fatima whom they have been looking for all day.
"Look! It's Fatima!" Kashmir said,with delight,pointing towards her direction.
Kashmir draws his sword out immediately,shortly after his elder brother and the free slaves pounced at the men chasing Fatima fiercely. The free slaves jumps on the dirty men angrily,punching,and kicking them. In a blink of an eye the brutes were lying on the dirt unmoving.
Fatima seems happy in the inside after being rescued by Kashmir and the others,but looking remorse for what she has done. Kashmir on the other hand doesn't seem to blame her for trying to leave because she doesn't really know them.
"I'm really sorry!" Fatima said,sincerely.
"You didn't do anything wrong. Let's go home!" Kashmir replied.
