[IC] Annabelle's Holo Diary

[Lord Iezkon]

Entry 3: Thoughts

The holo-recorder would come to life once more, yet the scene would be different than the past two entries. The scene took place outside on a balcony, in the frame would be Annabelle sitting on the edge of the wall, if she moved forward, she would meet her end with a fall. Her arms rested on her knees as she looked at the recorder for a few seconds. She then looked to her left, staring at the busy city at her master's estate. The sun would be up yet it was late afternoon. Annabelle's hair would be blowing softly as there was a light breeze in the air, her face was glowing sweetly as the sun's rays would caress her skin. She would let her soft voice drift along the sweet song of the wind as she spoke, still looking at the city.

"It should come to no surprise that I didn't speak to Lord Saud. Trust me when I said I tried to talk with the woman, she is always...'busy'...I know things would be a whole lot different if I was a pureblood, maybe then she would at least make an effort. Maybe I should paint my skin red and glue some sticks to my face to make myself look like a pureblood?"

She would then shake her head at the idea.

"Whatever, its done now. The question I wanted to ask her, I asked my master, the only person who would actually make time to help others with a big question like mine. Sometimes I would think that she cares for me in her own way, but then in moments like my trial on Eshan, makes me wonder why she hasn't killed me yet, seeing that I am a great disappointment to her and that Aljo is some form of god in her eyes."

"Lately I have been wondering if I am wasting my time here. I can see in peoples eyes how they want me dead. I wonder if I should just go and disappear, no one would notice anyway, I don't have red skin. I swear at times I miss being a slave....No matter now, guess I have to stay and do as I am told, and take the insults with a smile and no words on my lips. Its a good thing my master is not here. I am sure she would push me off for either sitting here or hearing what I am saying. At least -I- don't betray her... There is no one here, nor at the Spire or the ship. They are all there, while I chose to stay here. Why go to a wedding? For all I know if I was there, I would be the sacrificial gift. But that is not the reason why I chose not to go...there are other reasons, but they will forever remain as thoughts."

Annabelle did not look once at the recorder, choosing to hide her emotions shown in her eyes. With a wave of her hand, the scene would turn to black met with silence.
