style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Thank
you so much for reviewing, 4 reviews are awesome to me! Special thanks to the
Ammeh; I know my grammar and English are bad that's why I asked for a beta,
which I guess will have to wait. Now for the encouragements I love them and
thank you, I'll try to update a lot, but I sort of choose the wrong time to
start this story seeing as I'm in school and it's my mid-term. Also to those
who are like Ammeh, I'm an artist not a writer. Now on to the storyÉwhere was
I?

style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Alexander
woke up to the sun shining in to his little room and Marian moving about with a
tray of food.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"Good
morning little master, the sun is in the sky and the birds sing a little song."
Marian said as she set the tray down on the table. She was an older lady who
thought of Alexander as her son. Her face was smooth except for the wrinkles by
her eyes from smiling so much. Her dress swooshed around her as she walked
around the room opening windows and closing the curtains.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"It
doesn't matter what happens outside, Marian. The sky could be falling and there
could be cows flying but I wouldn't know." Alexander said sleepily as he
shuffled over to the table.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"Oh
young master, I know it's hard for you but you know I'd love to take you
outside. But you know Lord and Lady Harker would be angry with me if I let you
outside and I would be punished or even worse they would sell me off." she said
as she walked over to him with his hair brush, to start brushing his hair which
was all over. "Oh young master you bed head always makes me laugh."
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"I'm
happy you find it amusing Marian and I know you can't do anything for me. I
would hate to see anything happen to you and I'd hate it even more if they sold
you. I'd be all alone then." Taking a bite of his food scrambled egg with ham
in it, his favorite.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"Master
I will warn you your father, Lord Harker, is coming to see you this morning."
Marian continued to brush his hair; she smiled as it went into the lovely waves
she so loved as she finished brushing it.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"
Why, what does he want? Father usually likes to ignore me." Alexander said as
he put down his fork and watched as Marian picked out his clothing for the day.
I don't see why I have to get dressed, it's not like I'm going anywhere he
thought as Marian placed the clothes on the bed.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"I
don't know, maybe he's going to let you out of this room, he didn't really
say." She said helping Alexander out of his nightgown.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"Don't
be cruel Marian, you know he won't. Though I wish he did. Maybe thereÕs a new
servant in the house, not that I'll see them, but you never know. Maybe you're
getting a helper." Alexander said as Marian dressed him. Marian looked
thoughtful as she tried to remember if there was a new servant in the house.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"Oh
yes, there is a young man that was brought into the mansion yesterday. I can't
believe I forgot that. But you know your father won't let another man in this
room with your deformity." She said as she tied the last bow in his leggings.
Alexander frowned as he was once again reminded of his "deformity" not that it
was easy to forget but Alexander did like to forget about it.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Alexander
was going to say something else but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Marian walked over and peeked out. Seeing her lord she opened it wider to let
him in then sent one more glance at Alexander and left the room.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"Good
morning Father" Alexander said as he looked down at the floor. A grunt was his
only reply; he peeked from under his bangs at his father to see the man looking
around the room with a bored look. Lord Harker was a proud man in his late 40Õs
that stood at an impressive height of 6"0, with blonde hair that had some white
in it. His cold stormy blue eyes locked onto Alexander.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"I
have come to tell you Alex, that there is a new servant in the mansion."
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>I
knew it, but why is he telling me? Alex thought as he looked up at his
father.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"I
tell you this because I'm going to sell Marian and replace her with this
servant. He doesn't know of your disgusting deformity and you shall not tell
him is that understood?" his father growled at him.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"Yes
father. Father, may I ask a question?" Alex asked looking wide eyed at his
father.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"I
suppose." He drawled as he looked out the window.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"Why
are you selling Marian?" Alex said a sadness coming to his big blue. Marian,
his only friend, the only person who had ever been kind to him, who had raised
him and taken care of him, was being sold to another house. Older servants were
never bought; usually they were killed because they were a waste of space and
too much of a hassle to take care of.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"She
is old. There is nothing else she can do for the mansion. In other words she is
useless to me. Besides she is nothing compared to you and I who matter in this
world." Lord Harker said looking down at his son.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"But
she is my only friend; couldn't she stay to keep me company?" Alex begged
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>"Begging
is beneath you Alex please don't do it. And no you must have a male influence
in your life and that's final. You know I would be that influence but I'm to
busy to come here every day and spend time with you." Lord Harker said as he
pulled out a pocket watch and headed to the door leaving Alex staring after him
with his eyes wide with tears in them. As the door to his room closed Alex
collapsed onto his bed crying.

here: Ok yes there are probably grammar and other errors but I can't see them
so I can't fix them. So anyways I hope you like it and I know no smut, what's
that all about? Usually I get right on that but I want some plot. I'll update
this story on Tuesday so please review so I feel happy and loved before going
to my 3-D class and getting yelled for something.
