I dug my toes into the cracks of the caravan as we bumped and bundled down a god awful road. I was so hurt and angry. Graylen had made an idiot of me. Waiting for me to crash and burn to up and return to society. He wanted a broken slave to show off to his prissy friends. I wanted to curse them worse but angry words failed me at the moment. I curled around my belly wishing death upon all those who would see me fail. He fooled me with his niceties and fake empathy and I, as the fool, fell for it all.
We immediately set to packing when he returned from Ripven. Our destination? The fucking compound. We were accompanied by Opa and Mrs. Polik. He was going to stay with us the whole time but Mrs. Polik is only to stay until I get settled and my baby has arrived. I praised the gods for that small nicety. I rolled my eyes for the trillionth time that evening. Graylen noticed my sour attitude but didn't comment knowing I'd give him an earful most likely. I nibbled slowly on my cheesestick aware that my mouth would be empty for the next couple hours to the center of the city and worried I might let my emotions rule over me before I could stop.
"Will other Kaskains be there?" I asked instead.
"Depends." His tone meant silence but I was testy today.
"Is my Aunt and cousin well?" I rubbed my belly fully aware of the nasty comments I was to receive if other tribe members were going to be around.
"I hope not." He shot me a menacing glare.
"I'm aware I'm not supposed to speak about my family but I'm not going to not ask either. Its crucial information I need to be knowledgeable of." I quipped. I resettled into my seat and gritted my teeth. I already didn't like Graylen and he's just pissing me off more.
"If you don't shut the fuck up I'm going to punch you in the face." He turned on me and got in my face. I reciprocated and glared back at him as our noses touched.
"I may be your slave but I'm not your bitch, you ass. I only asked because I needed to know." I gritted from my teeth. I was awarded a hard slap across my face but I stood my ground.
"Sit back Vera." He rolled down the window and began smoking. I rolled my eyes and swallowed my whole cheese stick hoping I'd choke and die. Mrs. Polik screamed at me when she realized what I had done and Graylen made Opa turn off the road.
I was literally dragged from the car and I began throwing punches and kicks at Graylen. He anticipated each one and dodged before slapping me hard in the face as his defense. We continued on for about thirty minutes before my steam blew off and my face felt swollen.
"I'm hungry." Was all I said as I went back to climb in the car. Graylen got in beside me angry as hell. We continued being petty the rest of the car ride as children do. Like whenever his arm touched mine I'd yank it away screaming at him. Or when my leg was in his leg space he'd kick at my ankle. It was tiring to say the least.
"I hope you die of a butt hernia so that your ass bleeds as you take your last breath." I mumbled. Mrs. Polik had had enough then and turned around on us.
"You will not talk to your master that way you Kaskain bitch!" She slammed her fist. "It is unheard of for a slave to speak to its master so disrespectfully, and a master to actually let her do it! I am so close to reporting you to the King to be dealt with how you should be!"
"If you even think to say something like that again Beatrice I'll have your life with my hands wrapped around your throat."
I can honestly say until today I've never heard a tone where death lived in every word until just now. My arms broke out in goosebumps and I involuntarily shivered.
Mrs. Polik stuttered for a bit.
"The way she speaks is a capital offense, Sir-"
"She speaks how I want her to. Obviously. Since you have such an issue I'll have your termination papers in the morning. You and your family may see yourself off of my premises with the rest of your comrades immediately."
Her face drained. I let a smile fall upon my face as the foundation in her throne cracked. She glared so hard at me obviously wanting to rip my throat out but I couldn't be happier at this moment.
"Sir, you don't mean that. I have been loyal for the past 57 years. Me and my husband watched you grow and kept the house together for decades."
"So you see why you'll love your retirement then." He ticked his jaw and she flopped back against her seat.
It was June 15th, 2634 when the great and mighty Beatrice Polik fell from grace like an angel from heaven. I couldn't believe my ears.
I made sure to behave perfectly and textbook slave like after that spat. If he could kick Mrs. Polik to the curb he could do the same to me. I asked him if he was hungry, did his shoulders hurt, was he tense, and offered a foot rub. Even offered the rest of my food I brought with me. He was ticked off at my mood but I couldn't more elated. I chatted his ear off about the baby, made him smile even. Beatrice, which is what I'll be calling her from now on, was practically murderous watching me suck up to him like a fucking sponge as her life crumbled with each gaining mile. I admit I was being a sore winner but man it felt so good.
As soon as we arrived I got into business mode though. Not talking unless being spoken to and followed Graylen like a pup not weaned from his mother. He raised his eyebrows at my execution of the manual but didn't say anything.
We arrived through a set of heavily armed steel gates with guards watching every corner and person. There were many sectioned off open fields, and a beautiful green garden centered. The small road led around the garden and up to a grand looking castle nestled snugly in the middle of a meadow. We got out as Opa set our bags aside and drove off to park the car. Graylen took my hand and led me through the doors which were opened by butlers and I arrived into a fancy dungeon. That's the only description that fit it.
The floor plan was a huge opening in the middle with hallways lining the walls but you could see clearly each story up. There were thousands of doors mounted on the walls and the room was buzzing with life. The men were drinking heavily and was surrounded by woman of all colors and types. There were even a few Yala's with their nuke tails and extra fingers. They creeped me out. They were too close to the nuke drop on America way back when. The survivors mutated along with Ropu's and Dramins. They all scattered and reproduced and now they've evolved into a completely different species if you ask me. Human my ass. They're like an offbrand Spiderman.
As I took in everything my eyes lingered a second too long on a very noticeable man. I looked away as quickly as I could but he approached anyways.
"See something you like baby?" the big man folded his arms across his chest and leaned in slightly. He was in the nude and very attractive. His cock glistened obvious to the fact he had just got done having sex. I grabbed Graylen's hand desperate for a way out of this conversation.
"He asked you a Question, Vera." Graylen's face pulled up into a smug smile. I narrowed my eyes at him. I turned back on the stranger and looked him up and down.
"No. Not yet." I rolled my eyes as I continued on to ignore him. They both erupted in laughter and the stranger gripped my chin and forced my face to his.
"You do not know who I am do you?" he smiled slightly.
"No." I answered honestly.
He smile slightly once more searching for the lie in my eyes. "You Kaskains really did keep to yourself." He tssked. "None of them know me." He said to Graylen who just shrugged.
"They will know now, your liege." He bowed slightly. My eyes widened. This is the king? I nearly shouted. I yanked my head back to get back besides Graylen.
"Ah you spoiled the secret comrade." King Rendia laughed. "You have scared the little mouse."
I did not like that nickname one bit.
"I consider it a good thing. This one has no head." He lightly knocked on my skull.
"Oh, they all are. She is the best I've seen today." He leaned down to study me but I was too caught up with the fact that there were others here to care. I wanted to get this over with so I may reconnect with my family. "So little mouse, do you enjoy the city?"
I looked up at Graylen again to ensure I had permission.
"I am king, mouse, I override him in every way. You do whatever I say you do. Understood?" he narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, my lord." I didn't know what to call him but I'd seen in a movie or two that's what they say.
"Etiquette wasn't taught yet?" He asked aloud.
"No, this is her first day in the compound. She's been a stubborn fucking buck this whole time." He rolled his eyes. That made the king laugh. "Those are the best, friend." King Rendia glanced up at him. " She is related to Tibecka I've heard?"
"Yeah. She's her niece." His eyes flickered. A thing he only does when he doesn't want to answer a question.
