Chapter 24 Riding With The Master
Madison’s POV:
Putting on my sack clothes, I tried to stop myself from crying. I shouldn’t be crying, right?
Of course, this is what it means to be a slave. I don’t have to expect the best of life. I walked out of the room trying to console myself, I met Mona by the hallway still in tears.
“Mona, I feel bad each time I see you crying. I don’t want you to keep crying because of me, this is my cross and I must carry it. I know that we are going to the worst place, but there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do about it” I sniffed hard. Okay! Furthermore, I’m so heartbroken right now, but I just have to console myself, if not no one will.
“I know what I’m saying Madison, you are going to visit the Master’s cousins, oh trust me they are not the best people. They are very cruel, and you look too beautiful for them to resist” Mona sulked, I widened my eyes in confusion trying to understand her.
“What are you…” I was going to ask her a question when one of the guards tapped my shoulder, and I turned around to see the hefty guy staring at me with fury written all over his face. Fear gripped me the more.
“Why are you standing here? Don’t you know that you’re supposed to join the queue? Do you want to trek to the valleys?” He spoke with a mean voice, and I quickly shook my head in disagreement.
“Hey you! Why won’t you let her leave the others? You shouldn’t even be seen talking to her because she’s just a new slave” The guard glared hard at Mona who turned her face away.
“I’m sorry, it’s not actually her fault. I was the one asking her questions, and all she did was to answer the questions” I covered up for Mona immediately, and she turned to me with wrinkled eyebrows while I winked at her.
“Move it, join the queue immediately. If you don’t leave with the others in the van, you have to trek to the valleys” The guard replied, and I quickly rushed to stand in the queue. I could see pain and sorrow in Mona’s eyes, and that got me wondering where exactly we are going to. Is it that bad?
The slaves kept entering the van, and then it turned out that I was actually the one left out. They all entered the bus, and it was filled up.
The other guards supervising us all turned to me, and I knew for sure that it was the end for me.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“I’m sure you must have heard the rules, since you’re the only one who is left out, you will have to trek to the valleys” They smirked at me, and goosebumps ran down my spine. Who knows how far the valleys is.
“May I… May I ask how far the valley is?” I summoned courage to ask even though it was with a shaky voice. They burst into laughter making me feel like I was an idiot or something.
“I promise you, you’ll never be able to work with your feet by the time you trek to the valleys” One of them made jest of me, and the van drove off with the van.
“But… But I don’t even know how to find my way there, is there anyone who is going to go with me?” I asked with tears circulated in my eyes.
“Huh? You’re such a funny person. None of the guards here would like to trek that far, your hands will be tied up, and chained to the car with which the guards will be driving on” The other guard replied.
“What?” I freaked out immediately.
“You don’t have any time to waste. You won’t want to know what will be your consequences if you get to the valleys late” One of them grabbed my hands, and took out a handcuff. Tears were beginning to roll down my cheeks.
They handcuffed my hands, and dragged me to the car. Who is going to save me this time?
“Wait!” I heard an authority filled voice scream, and they quickly turned around. It was Axel, the Master’s favorite guard and friend. He was looking brutal as usual, but he actually has a good heart unlike these smiling jerks.
“Is there anything you want us to do?” They asked him, and he paused before speaking.
“The master orders that the new slave is sent to him immediately” He said, and a gasp escaped my mouth. I managed to cover my mouth with my palms. Isn’t that a death sentence?
“What? Does the master know that she missed the van?” They chorused, and I gulped hard.
“He’s aware of that, and he told me that she should be allowed to come over to his Chambers immediately. DO NOT keep the master waiting” Axel spoke with a hoarse voice, and they quickly took off the handcuff on my hands.
I didn’t know if I should be happy or not. Should I rejoice because I won’t be trekking to the valleys? Or should I feel bad because the master can never be up to any good?
I followed Axel since I had no choice. I was really uncomfortable with the way the guards were staring at my curved backside. Honestly, the sack cloth I was putting on was so tight, and it revealed my curves. They were all staring at me with lust all over their faces.
“Dogs!” I cursed under my breath as Axel and I walked down the hallway. We were both silent, but I had to break the silence.
“Axel, do you know if I did anything bad? Is the master going to give me a different punishment? Why do you think he wants to see me?” I asked with fear in my voice.
“I don’t know why he wants to see you, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t give you any punishment. All you have to do is to just go and see him” Axel said with finality in the tone of his voice, and I nodded my head.
We got to the door of the Master’s chambers, and Axel signalled me to enter. I knocked twice before walking into the room.
This time, it wasn’t dark as usual. The Master was dressed in a long blue robe. He was looking extremely handsome, but I tried to keep my gaze down.
With my hands on my back, I bowed slightly at him.
“You called me Master” I spoke with a tiny voice that I doubted he heard. Okay, he actually heard it.
“We’ll be going to the valleys in my golden cart” He spoke with a croaky voice.
“Huh? Together?” I couldn’t stop myself from talking with my eyes popped out…..
