A Different Kind Of Life Part 2

written by: Stina

~Howie~ It was dark out, so we decided to sleep under a tree nearby. In the middle o the night I woke up to yelling and sticks poking me in the back. I saw the other guys sleepily chained up. I was put into chains with the other guys and thrown into a cage like box.

"What's going on?" I asked the guys.

"Somethin about the King need slaves. I dunno, but I wasn't about to argue with a bunch of HUGE guys holding spears!" Kev said, sleepily.

Later on we fell back asleep. In the morning…

~Nick~

In the morning we woke up and saw a huge building, it looked like a medieval castle. I looked at the guys, they shrugged. The cage was opened and we were shoved out. We walked into the castle, with the huge guys that we nick named the "Ogres". We walked down a big aisle and people were on either side of us. They were all pointing and giggling at us. Straight in front of us, a big table where 10 people in beautiful clothes, sat. The 2 oldest had crowns.

"So we're in a castle with a King and Queen. Yeah right! HAHAHA!" I thought. Before I could think anymore one of the Ogres pushed me down and said "You will bow before the royal family!"

~Brian~

"You are the new slaves to the princesses. You will be given clothing and whatever the silly pieces that you are wearing will be kept in your quarters or thrown out. Your quarters are attached to the princess who you are serving's room. Men, take them now." The king said, and clapped his hands.

"Sir, if I could, sir." I started.

"You will address me and the royal family as 'Your highness' "

"Your Highness, could you please tell me the date before we go?"

He gave me a weird look and said, "It is 18, May, 1348." And then me and the guys were seperated and taken to rooms. I was told I am the slave to Princess Cathrine. I was still shocked by the date, May 1348?!"

~Kevin~

"1348?! Weird!" I thought. I am the servant to Princess Melinda. All I know is that she is 26 years old and next in line to recive the crown.

"I can't belive this! We fell down to 1348 and I'm a freakin' slave?!" I thought.

Just then an Ogre walked in.

"You go to the slave dining quarters now." He said and practically drug me to a small room with 2 rotting tables.

I got into the line for what I assumed was food, I assumed right--kinda. The cook put a glop of stuff that looked like mashed potatoes and stuffing mixed into one, to top it of it was cold. They served it with stale carrots that could bend without breaking and jello-ish apple juice. I looked around for the other guys and saw them sitting down at a table. I walked over and joined them.
