Teaser Tuesday - UC Chapter 11

Here we go! Teaser Tuesday! With any luck, the next chapter will post either Thursday night or Friday morning - I'll be out of town all weekend and I have no idea if I'll have internet access or not. I at least hope to post before I leave, but if it's Friday after 3:00pm EST and you don't see anything, it won't be up until Sunday.

Anyone in the Knoxville area what to come freeze your ass off at a soccer tournament with me?? LOL

First off - new banner by Liliana, which is just BEAUTIFUL!












And now for the teaser! Only slightly evil this week...

“What happened to Angela’s parents?”

“She came from a farming family, and her father was killed when his cart tipped over. Her mother couldn’t work the farm on her own, though Angela tried to help as much as she could. When the Lord of the farmland came to collect the grain she was supposed to supply, it wasn’t ready for him. Angela ended up being brought back to the castle, since Jessica really needed more than one handmaid by then.”

“Why was she brought back?” Edward asked.

I looked over to him, confused.

“The grain wasn’t ready when the Lord came to collect it,” I repeated.

“Yes, you told me that.” Edward scowled. “But why was Angela taken from her mother?”

“The Lord punished her mother,” I said.

“By taking her daughter? Why?”

“He didn’t take Angela from her mother,” I said. My eyes narrowed in confusion. He had to understand what the punishment was for failing your Lord.

“Well, what then?” he demanded.

“The grain wasn’t ready, Edward. He killed Angela’s mother as an example to the other farmers.”

If he keeps this up, he just might get a clue... :)
