A Friend from the Past.

I was almost alseep.. driving the demons from my mind so I could get a few hours of rest.. when I heard my name outside the wagon. Yamka? :softly: Oh hell.. I got dressed... and peeked out my flap... Yamka? It was my old friend from the outer wagons... Kalien.. the one that was a slave... Now exactly sure how to react to her.. I just kinda looked.. I could not be mean.. she looked for forlorn and lost.. So I went out and sat on the step.. and motioned her to sit also.. Well?

Yamka you have to help me.. please.. I beg of you? :blinking: huh?

Help you how?.. :she started to cry.. well hell then I started to cry... : Ah please don't cry.. what do you need my help with.. Her large eyes looked at me.. I want to go home... oh man..

Well.. there is a problem with that Kalien.. ya cana't just say ok I am not a slave anymore and I am going home... it does not work that way.. I don't think it does anyway.. :her thin shoulders slumped..: Don't they feed you? :she was a little bony to me.. : She beats me.. she hates me.. Oh what a mess I made of things.. if I had only listened to you... huh? me get something right. after the mess I made of my life?

Well.. gee I am not sure how I can help you... :seems she had it all planned out: you could buy me from him... Maybe if you talk to his mate she would .. she would gladly get rid of me... Oh please Yamka.. we were once friends... .. well I had to ponder on this.. What would I do with a slave.. and one that was a friend no less..

Well let me think about it.. I mean this is a big decision... Well can I stay with you tonight... I had such a big heart.. I kinda figured I was gonna at least try and help her... Um.. sure.. I have an extra wagon you can stay in there... Won't they miss you though... :she shook her head: No.. they pay little attention to me.. I am just there to work and he does not even come near me anyone since he mated her.. I was yawning as she spoke... Ok ok.. well get something to eat from the pots over there.. and then you can get some sleep.. I will have to think about this... She gave me a hug.. Oh man she needs a bath as well..... he has neglected all his leather..and his tarp is ripped.. maybe you can trade work for me.. :the girl looked at her with large eyes: yeah ok.. let me think about it.. .. get some sleep...

Dang.. well.. I guess I could try.. I know I will not keep her.. she was my friend a long time ago.. I know her parents won;t want her back.. maybe I could talk to my parents.. well I will work something out..
