Rissy

He looked out the window at a beautiful doe. She had long shiny black fur with amber eyes, she was so pretty. He took his eyes off of her and looked down at the broom that he held in his hands. You should get to back to work before Sir Connor gets you in trouble, he thought to himself. He was about to do his chores when he heard Sir Connor yelling his name.

“Leo! Leo! You are dead you hear me!”

He turned his head to see a tall rabbit walking towards him. The rabbit wore black clothes and carried a whip by his side, this was Sir Conner and he did not look happy.

“Yes sir,” he said. Sir Connor didn’t speak, instead he grabbed Leo’s arm and slung him through the closed door. Leo crashed through the door landing outside and rolling over and over again on the ground. Pain attacked him with every roll. He heard a loud sound from the whip as Sir Connor cracked it. Leo hated whips. He looked up at Sir Connor, “I’ll do my chores, just please don’t…” he said glancing nervously at the whip.

Sir Connor looked down at him with a small smile showing on his face. He then said, “You already had your chance.” Sir Connor then slung the whip out at Leo. It hit Leo’s arm and he cried out in pain. It was tense and terrible. “Please, please stop Sir Connor.” He said as he grasped his bleeding arm that felt like it was on fire.

Sir Connor didn’t stop. He just kept doing it. Leo did everything he could, he begged and everything and finally it stopped. “You all see, this is what happens when you don’t do what I tell you to do! DO you understand?” Sir Connor didn’t look at Leo just kicked him in the stomach then left.

Leo wanted to scream in pain but he had no air left in him, so he laid there gasping. All the other servants left, glancing at him but none of them brave enough to help him. Once everyone was gone the black doe came. Tara that was her name, she walked over to him and bent beside him. “I’m so sorry Leo,” she said as tears ran down her face.

“It’s not your fault,” he said, groaning.

“I know, but you need to get out of here, look what happened to you, this shouldn’t happen. I mean look at you,” she said, looking at his tore blood covered clothes.

Leo looked at his clothes, they were covered in blood, his blood and it hurt so bad. The agonizing pain filled his whole body. He looked at her, “We can escape together.”

“Percy, I mean Percy will find out,” Tara said looking down.

“You mean your fiancé, but you don’t want to marry him, besides if they see you helping me you will be disgraced and you know it, you’re a Lord’s daughter, I’m just a servant.”

“Percy is not my fiancé and I do not love him at all he is forcing me to do it, he says if I don’t he’ll disgrace my family, you know my father’s been ill Leo. I’m scared. I just want to be somewhere safe but its not safe in this world.” Tara said as more tears ran down her face.

He wiped the tears away from her eyes, the pain to move was intense, growing worse by the moment. He hugged Tara pulling her close, letting her cry on his shoulder which made him think of his twin sister, where was she? He turned his mind back to Tara, “It’s going to be fine,” He said, he wanted to escape like she said, but he didn’t want to leave her, he couldn’t leave another rabbit he loved. But they couldn’t escape now, not yet anyway. He pulled away form the hug and looked at her, she was so pretty she didn’t deserve to be without anyone she loved. He smiled at her, “You need to go, we don’t want them to see us together.”

She smiled back at him and nodded her head. She then got up slowly, looked at him then left.

Leo was left there alone. He got up slowly, fighting to keep from crying out as he did so, the pain was bad. He walked toward the house slowly, although he didn’t want to go in, he didn’t want to see Sir Connor. But he had to go in. All the servants looked at him as he passed and some gasped. He walked past Sir Connor sitting in his chair by the fire and shuffled to the kitchen.

He sat down at the table, collapsing into the chair as he laid his head on the table and clenched his teeth. He wouldn’t let this happen again; he wouldn’t get sidetracked next time. But that’s what he always told himself and he always got sidetracked. He then heard Sir Connor say, “Why aren’t you doing your chores Leo?”

Leo looked up. “I can’t sir it hurts.”

Sir Connor walked over to him and grabbed him by the shredded remains of his shirt. “I don’t care how bad it hurts; you do as I say!”

Leo nodded his head. Sir Connor let go of his shirt. Leo stood shakily and stumbled toward the broom across the room. His steps faltering, his vision blurring, the whole room was spinning around in circles. He stood still trying to get his bearings as his head felt like it was floating away, then he fell to the floor and fainted.
