CreeeeeeeAAAASSSHHH! The sound of the shattering mirror was completely satisfying to her . . she'd been cooped up so long, forgotten, ignored . . her only companions a dour, humorless guard and the little birds of servant girls who had been so afraid of her they'd hardly spoken . . . ah who was she kidding . . she owed them much, all of them . . she knew that in her head, yet she was BORED to death! Her body was healed, and she chaffed at the passage of time. In her business, one needed to make use of one's youth which one still could . . .
She could never serve, that was more apparent as the long hours ticked by . . it simply was not in her . . she could not stay here . . Not a word had reached her of the fate of the sailor who'd found his jollies in tatooing her with his fists . . surely he had been hung? Or if not, then released and was an ocean away by now . . Either way, they should let her go now, if she demanded it . .
She turned as the guard entered to see what the fuss had been this time . . He'd grown more weary of HER than she had of him . . no pretty face was worth this duty . . She smiled innocently, and opened her mouth to form her lie as to the fate of the glittering glass at her feet . . Perhaps if she were annoying enough, they would set her on her way with their most relieved blessings! It was definitely worth a try . .
