The sound of roosters crowing, woke up the two young ladies that were sleeping in their hut.
Oh, great. It is time to get up and start making breakfast. After all the breakfast dishes are cleaned up. we have to start making lunch. one of the girls sat up in her bed and she began rubbing her eyes, to get the sleep out of her eyes.
Well, I just hope that it is not too hot today. Vanessa also sat up in her bed and began stretching her arms over her head, as she started to yawn.
Oh, yeah. That is right. You are working in the mushroom field today. the first girl got out of her bed and walked over to the wash bowl and began cleaning herself up.
Yes, I have that duty for the next four days. Vanessa also got up from her bed, headed over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of pants and a tunic.
Oh, man. What did you do as to get four days out in the fields? Oh, did you see that huge fire ball in the sky last night? the other girl began drying off her face.
Well, I think it has something to do with the fact that one of the field hands got sick, so I am taking her place until she gets better. Yes, I did, but I think it was just a meteor coming from the asteroid field that surrounds us. Vanessa took off her night gown and put on her clothes.
Yeah, that could be what it was, but this looked way too big to be a meteor. Come in! the other girl called out ,as there was a knock on the hut door. Hey, Vanessa, Allyson. Are you guys ready for the day? Lady Melrey has already made up the menu for today. the door opened up and another girl came into the room.
Hey, Carmyn. Yes, I am ready. So, what are we having for breakfast, this morning? I would like to know, before I head out for the fields today. Vanessa turned to the other girl that just came into the hut.
Well, we are having eggs, sausage, gravy and toast, which is already now. Lady Melrey has asked if she could have a sausage, cheese and mushroom omelet for breakfast. Am getting the eggs now. Carmyn looked over to the other girl, who was getting undressed.
Well, that sounds good to me. I will meet you guys in the kitchen. Vanessa nodded to the two girls, before walking out of the hut.
Vanessa walked down the small pathway, passing a couple of other huts that belong to some of the hunters and guards. As she came close to a couple of the huts, she heard a few girls, as they were screaming out the hunters name, as they had their sexual orgasms. Vanessa just shook her head and just continued walking towards the center of the village, which had a fountain in the middle of the courtyard. As she came closer, she saw standing next to the fountain, was a couple of horses and guards. They were putting water into two huge water barrels that were on the two carts.
Good morning, Vanessa. We should have the two barrel wagons filled up by the time you have to go to the fields. an older guard nodded his head to the young girl.
Ok. Thank you, Aelbert. I will see you after breakfast then. Vanessa nodded and headed for the large hut that is the kitchen and dining hall, for the whole the village, when they are not cooking in their own huts.
Walking into the hut, she saw a couple of other girls setting the four long tables, while two older ladies were setting the high table that is reserved for the family and their guests. Walking through the dining hall, Vanessa came to the double doors at the end of the rows of the long tables. She went through the doors and into the kitchen.
Good morning, Vanessa. Could you please take this and put it on the third table? the older woman turned away from the stove and motioned for the younger girl to pick up the huge pot.
Good morning, Mrs. Heydi. Yes, maam. Vanessa came over to the counter and picked up the pot and carefully headed for the dining hall.
Vanessa went over to the third table and saw that there were two other huge pots in the center of the table. She sat the pot close to the end of the table. Twenty minutes later, the room was filled with men and women, along with a few children that came into the dining hall. They began eating their breakfast, before they all had to head out to their jobs that was assigned to them for today. Vanessa just finished her breakfast, took her plate to the kitchen and put it into the sink. Whoever had kitchen duty would be cleaning it, after they finish up their own breakfast. Vanessa walked out of the kitchen and went over to one of the store houses. Going inside, she began walking around the room and began making a list of what kind of mushrooms that she needed pick today, so they will have enough mushrooms for the dishes that was planned for the next couple of days. She even looked at the menu that belonged to Lord and Lady Melrey, to see what is on their menu and if they had enough items for their store rooms in the main house.
Going over to where the baskets were being kept, she grabbed a huge basket.She walked out of the store house and went over to the fountain, where the water carts were ready. Then, she put the basket on the cart, before grabbing the reigns of the led horse and began to lead the two horses and carts out of the village, to the fields that were just outside the village walls.
I will be keeping an eye out for you, Miss Vanessa. Aelbert called out to the young girl, as he looked down from his post over the gate.
Thank you, Aelbert. Vanessa waved to the older man, as she walked through the gate of the village.
Walking down the dirt road ,to where the mushroom fields were located, Vanessa passed a couple of other fields that are filled with other different kinds of crops: corn, peas, beans, potatoes and other kinds of greens. She waved to a few of the field hands that were in the fields, as she passed them. Finally, coming to the field that had the mushrooms growing in it, she stopped the horses. Then, grabbing her basket, she headed over to the row of mushrooms and then began picking them. Three hours later, Vanessa heard the horn of the hunting party that was coming through the forest and coming up the road towards her and the village.
Vanessa stood up and saw Lord Melrey coming up the road. As they came around the small bend in the road, she could see a few pack animals that were loaded down with meat. She also saw one of the pack animals carrying a cylinder looking thing. When the hunting party passed the mushroom field, it was then that Vanessa also noticed there was a body that laid on the wooden stretcher. Slinging the basket over her shoulder, Vanessa began to follow the hunting party back to the village. Once inside the walls of the village, some of the hunters went their separate ways, but a couple of them headed for one of the guest huts with the wounded person that was on the stretcher. Vanessa went to the store house, emptied her basket and then, with a smaller basket, she began gathering up the three different kinds of mushrooms that she needed and took them to the kitchen.
Hey. I brought in the three mushrooms that Mrs. Heydi wanted for lunch and dinner. So, do you need any help? Vanessa put the basket in the sink, so that way, the mushrooms could be cleaned.
Hey. That is great. Well, at the moment, she headed over to the guest hut, because the hunting party found a wounded person. Yes, you can help me roll out these four dough balls. Allyson nodded over to the dough balls that were on the kitchen island counter.
Yeah, I know about the wounded person, because I saw them bring him here. They passed me, when they were coming back here. Ok, so where is the rolling pin, so that way, I can began rolling out the balls for you? Vanessa washed her hands in the sink, before looking for a rolling pen.
There is one in that drawer over there, by the ovens. Oh, really? So, you got a look at the person? Do you know if it was a man? Allyson nodded to the drawer that was close to the ovens.
Opening the drawer, Vanessa found a rolling pin, just as her cousin said it would be. Both girls were rolling out their second dough balls, when the door opened up and a huge figure stood in the doorway.
Master! Vanessa stopped rolling out the dough, bowed her head to the man, who was standing in the doorway.
Vanessa, I need you to take care of our wounded guest, please. Lord Melrey pointed to the Vanessa, who he had seen following the hunting party, from the fields earlier that afternoon.
Vanessa bowed her head and then she made her way through the village, to where the six guest huts were located, away from the other huts that belong to the villagers. Walking into the hut, Vanessa stopped in her tracks. Laying there in the bed, was a very handsome man, and it was the same person that she had seen in her dreams.
Going over to the wash bowl, she and poured the warm water into the bowl. She grabbed the wash cloth and soap that Mrs. Heydi had brought into the hut, while Vanessa was helping Allyson with the dough. She carried them over to the night stand and putting them down on it. Then, she went back to the water bowl stand, grabbed the bowl and slowly carried it over to the nightstand. Sitting it down on it, she grabbed the wash cloth and put it into the warm water. Turning to the man that laid on the bed, she looked down at him, and realized that he was undressed. She slightly moved the covers down some onto his waist and she saw that the man was totally naked.
Vanessa grabbed the now wet wash cloth and slowly, very gently, she began cleaning up the man. Once he was cleaned up, she started to dry him off ,when the door opened up. Two hunters came into the room, with a cot and bedding for her to sleep on. She learned that she could not leave the mans side, until he is all healed up from all his wounds.
