As the day of the slave auction got closer, wealthy women came to the Vineyard to examine us and determine if they wanted to buy us. We were felt up, fingered, examined, pinched, and probed. Our physical attributes were discussed openly as if we weren't even there.
Cara and I and ten other girls were herded into a room each day to be examined by prospective buyers. We were all naked and ordered to assume shaming positions that would show off the most intimate parts of our anatomy.
We were all probed and assessed and for the most part we were all shockingly passive and obedient. We allowed the prospective buyers to do anything they wanted to our naked bodies as they attempted to assess our worth.
At least that is until Cara abruptly pushed a woman who was cruelly pinching and twisting her nipples. It was a normal, human reaction and in a polite society, Cara would have been commended for defending herself and the woman who was abusing Cara's poor nipples would have been condemned.
Sadly, Cara and I were living in a slave society, and in a slave society slaves get punished for defending themselves. A security guard saw what Cara had done and immediately called her out for it.
"Slave," she barked at Cara, "Hands behind the back of your head!"
The security guard forced Cara to apologize for her behavior and then assured the wealthy female that Cara would be punished. The guard was about to lead Cara away and then one of the handlers stepped forward from the crowd and informed the guard that Cara was a special case.
"This one and this one are being trained together," the handler said as she pointed to Cara and me, "If you're going to punish this one, take her friend with her."
"You want me to punish them both?" the guard asked, "The blonde one didn't do anything wrong."
"I know it's unusual," the handler conceded, "but they agreed to be trained together and they agreed to be sold together. That means they also get punished together. Take them both."
The security guard raised her eyebrows at that, but she didn't argue. Handlers were high up in the Vineyard hierarchy. They outranked almost everyone else. They certainly outranked security guards, therefore, she ordered me to place my hands behind the back of my neck and both Cara and I were marched off, naked and fearful, yielding to the authority of the Vineyard and submitting to a punishment that neither one of us deserved.
We were marched to the shower room. It was late in the day, so not many people were there. There were three female slaves who had been assigned to groom the other slaves, however they were just standing there in the waiting position with nothing to do.
"You three," the security guard snapped at the attending slaves, "These two slaves have gotten themselves into trouble. You can help me punish them."
The three moved quickly, hastening to obey the security guard's every order.
Cara and I were ordered to stick out our left foot and then a stainless-steel shackle was locked around each of our left ankles. A short chain connected the shackle to a bolt in the concrete floor. The chain allowed us to move approximately eighteen inches in any direction, but no more than that.
I had assumed that Cara and I were to be whipped, but the Vineyard doesn't like to put too many marks on the naked skin of their slaves right before an auction, so the guard got creative with our punishments.
There was a hose coiled up on the concrete floor. The guard picked up the end with the high-pressure hose nozzle, turned on the water and pointed the nozzle at Cara. A concentrated jet of water struck Cara across her inner thigh, missing the folds of her pussy by a fraction of an inch. Cara screamed girlishly and instinctively she sought to evade the powerful jet of icy cold water.
Cara squirmed and twisted and writhed as the icy-cold water assaulted her naked body. Of course, no matter how much Cara screamed and twisted around, she was never able to avoid being sprayed. And then, the sadistic guard narrowed and intensified the jet of cold water and aimed it at the crack of her ass, her breasts, her nipples and her pink, pubic slit, wherever it hurt the most.
In desperation, Cara finally darted her hands out to protect the most sensitive parts of her anatomy and when that tactic failed, she collapsed to the floor and curled up in the fetal position.
"Get up, slave," the guard snapped at Cara, "You're not allowed to protect yourself from physical pain! Now get up and assume the inspection pose, or I'll have you chained up spread-eagle!"
When Cara didn't get up right away, the slaves in the shower room were ordered to fetch some chains and double-headed snap hooks. Cara heard that order and rose to her feet, reluctantly assuming the inspection pose. I'm guessing that she would have felt even more helpless being bound than if she got up and exposed her body to be abused voluntarily.
Cara's beautiful face twisted into a mask of agony, however, she maintained her pose. She trembled and she sobbed, but she spread her legs obscenely wide, thrust her breasts forward and kept her hands behind the back of her head while the guard tormented the most intimate parts of Cara's naked and vulnerable body.
And while it was painful to stand there and watch my beautiful Cara abused and tormented, it soon became my turn to be punished with a freezing-cold assault on my naked body, and I didn't handle it much better than my naked compatriot.
"Inspection pose," the guard demanded, "Face me! Feet wide apart! Pull your elbows back! Thrust your tits forward!"
It was a cruel exposure for a naked girl, but I obediently assumed the pose anyway. Then I was ordered to assume the wall pose, and then the humble pose. Each of these poses left me vulnerable and exposed and made it easy for the guard to abuse the most delicate parts of my anatomy.
After Cara and I had been mercilessly hosed down, the guard handed out scrub brushes to the three female slaves and instructed them to scrub both Dawn and me.
"Inspection pose," the guard ordered again, prompting both Dawn and me to thrust our chests out and spread out legs wide, leaving our breasts and our smooth loins both shamelessly on display.
"Don't move," the guard admonished us and then the slave-girls were prompted to go to work on us. They hastened to obey. A young, brunette female stood close to me and our eyes met briefly before she began. Her eyes were grey with flecks of blue. There was a wicked smile on her face and a certain degree of excitement in her eyes. I'm guessing that she didn't get the opportunity to torture her fellow slaves very often.
