Arianna was very uncomfortable in the back of the buggy with the other well bought slaves. They stayed in this thing for hours at a time only being allowed out once for the 3 day trip. She and the other slaves were ordered out and into the servant areas. They were to stand and wait for inspection before being given their duties.
Ari was ordered to work in the barn and as well as be the servant for evening meals and ordered to get to work. She was threatened with lashing if she didnt hurry and she glared at the man and walked out swearing silently he would be the one to get lashed and then some.

Chesa was getting tired. She had plowed who knows how many acres and the longer she pulled that damn plow the heavier it got. The overseer, Haimon, if Chesa remembered correctly had threatened her twice when she stopped briefly for a breather with a whipping. He followed through with it after the third time and told her that if she stopped again he'd make sure it left marks that were not just welts.
He's gonna get it, she silently swore.
Thanos left a letter for his parents and sneaked out that night. He was going to find his sister and Arianna and bring them back. His parents were devastated by loosing Chesa and Ari's folks were not much better off. He had to find both of them for his family and for himself. He missed his sister and Arianna....that was difficult to explain so he was going to rescue them no matter what it took.

It had been a month or maybe more since Arianna came to this hell hole they called a home. She fought off the perverted owners son most daily being punished for it. She cleaned and did what she was told and tried to be gone before his son and himself came home. She missed her family and her best friend she was determined not to cry damn it she was stronger then this.
It was late and cold and she pulled the small blanket closer to her and sighed trying to sleep but she couldnt she was anxious and nervious something was wrong. She looked through the small window at the stars and began to think of everyone silently. She suddenly heard a niose and whipped her head around " whos there" she said and got up and didnt see anyone. She slowly started for the door hearing shuffling again.
She spun around when something was thrown and it was a bad move whoever it was grabbed her and put a dagger to her throat. He warned her if she moved she would be dead within seconds. The dagger was too close and she took a slow breath and didnt move like requested yet.
the man she couldnt see but she knew who he was and panic set n even more like a burning sensation in the pit of her stomach. " Ill teach you to deny me no one denies me and gets away with it" he spat in her ear and grabbed her roughly that she made a strangled angry niose.
She started to fight against him ignoring the blade too near her throat ignoring the pain as it cut her from her movements. He began to do more and she elbowed him the second she could and pushed his arm away trying to get away. He grabbed at her and she twisted and fell.
" how dare you!" he growled and lunged at her and she screamed and held out her hands and watched in horror when suddenly he was lit on fire. * oh god not again* she said as she watched and heard him scream. She slowly got up and ran out of where she had been sleeping in the barn.
MEn came out of the house and she seen her master and looked at her hands she could hear him demanding what she had done and she would die for this. She got angry so angry she didnt care anymore. She focused on him throwing her hands out watching the flames shoot out missing him however lighting whatever was there on fire she continued thorwing the flames everywhere watching everything light up brightening the black night sky with the glowing of fire. She heard the screams and she cried out in anger and pain as she continued. She didnt wantto stop no matter she was alone right now.
One of the guards managed to get close enough to come at her with a sword plunging it into her side but this did not stop her it made her yelp and twist around backhanding him and pulling it out.

Thanos searched for Chesa and Arianna everyday for the past month, asking around. It most definitely had not been easy because he would loose the trail thanks to the rainy days. He caught a cold once and stopped for two days to rest but carried on after that even though he had been coughing and sneezing and feeling terrible. Thanos got over it and picked up the pace to make up for the time. He followed peoples directions and ended up in Thessaly, a long ways from home. Few centaurs came through here so it wasn't hard to find Chesa and on the way there he made a detour when smoke and explosions sounded a few miles away. Thanos trotted over to see if anyone needed help and the last person he thought he'd find was Arianna throwing fireballs at everything and everyone especially the fireballs....so Chesa hadn't been lying years ago when she said Arianna nearly toasted her. He'd apologize to her when he found her, after he stopped Ari from catching things on fire and pray to the gods she didn't burn down the entire village and city of Thessaly.

Arianna put her hand on her wound and fell to her knees in tears. She never cried never out in the open but this was too much too much for her. She was alone she had no one to help her she looked up threw her tears looking at the blazing fire before her hearing people scream and run away mostly the servents and slaves she hoped they got out. She tried to calm herself and removed her hand and looked at her blood and she heard something behind her and slowly looked. She paniced again and shifted herself looking for the sword seeing a dark figure but it was to far away for her to tell who it was.

Thanos loped over taking his sword from the sheath on his back. The man that was coming for Arianna almost had her but Thanos cut him down before he finished the job. He leaned down and grabbed Arianna's arm to help her up. "Come on let's go." He didn't bother trying to put out the fire since other people were already trying to put it out.

Thanos trotted out of the farm area onto the road leaving the burning place behind. They didn't get too far, maybe a mile, before someone was yelling and the fast beat of hooves said someone was coming up behind them. Thanos didn't stop but looked behind him to see a man with a furious look on his face coming up quickly.

Arianna held onto thanos alittle nervious and scared she knew the vioce " oh gods" she muttered. She tried to call her powers but nothing would happen " Its him...." she said to thanos.
Aros glared " you...you there are aiding a murderer she killed my sons out of cold blood!"
Ari looked at him she was scared but she would defend herself as she clung to thanos " Not cold blood!"
he growled " lies! you are nothing but a harlot !"
" cold blood ha they deserved to die as well as you!" she was getting angry but did not let up her hold.
Aros grabbed his sword " you will die for that statement they are innocent!"
Ari looked at him beyond angry letting thanos go she pointed at Aros " your sons are nothing but rapists and butchers" her vioce was shaky as she said it. " id kill them again anyday"
Aros growled and charged at them in fury

Thanos grabbed his sword and waited for the man to come close enough then hit him on the nose with the butt of his sword, causing the man to fall off his horse and onto the ground. Blood came from his nose as it was broken. Thanos put his sword right at his throat, tempted to just kill him for everything he'd done.

Thanos took the sword away from the man's throat. "I rather you lived with your misery of loosing your sons and know that Hades will not be generous to you in the afterlife. He didn't let the man get up before he reared up and stomped on the man's knees, shattering them along with both his arms while he was howling in pain. Now the man would never walk again and his arms would be useless for a long time.

Arianna was silent the rest of the time hanging on when she needed to and watched the man who was now in pain glad he was she however wouldnt be so generious. She closed her eyes and leaned against thanos' back tiredly she was sore and her side was killing her the most. She hummed to herself trying to block out his howls of pain

Thanos left the man on the ground where he was cringing in pain and practically crying like a baby which gave Thanos satisfaction. He trotted down the road before the man's reinforcements showed up. He wanted to be miles away before he stopped to see what kind of damage the slavers had done to Arianna.

Arianna was thankful they were leaving the area but one thing she knew about her so called master he bluffed alot no one was comming and showing up. He would die there alone slow and painful just like he deserved. She closed her eyes falling into a light sleep as she held on but looser then she had been. She wasnt asleep long enough when her mind plagued her with images and other things. She gasped quietly and tightened her hold just abit. She didnt say one word at all wasnt sure what she should say all she could think of is how much she loved thanos and didnt think he would love someone that was damaged now.
