Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Her entire skin was on fire as it burned her painfully. She crawled towards the wall searching for it with her hands and when she finally Located the wall, she rested her burning back on it as the coldness relieve her a little.

She cursed her father mentally for making her pass through this pains in the hands of a beast Master just because she was a female.

She hated him so much for selling her off for Money which he had all squandered in gambling and drinking.

And the Master, she hated him for not having human conscience and subjecting her to punishments she couldn't handle and for torturing her womanhood and tearing them apart with his extra large member.

She whimpered softly as her stomach grumbled. She hadn't eaten anything apart from the little food she took at her mother's place which her mother had forced her to have when she was rushing to leave.

She sighed as she remembered the Master's word to the guards. He had told them to starve her for three days. Was she ever going to survive living in the castle as a slave to the ruthless Master.

If she survived this particular punishment, she would never ever do anything to get her into punishment again. She would be extra careful and only leave the castle on his permission which she doubted if he would ever grant her.

Three Days Later....

Galene was been bundled out of the dungeon. It was the third day and her release day. She had fallen sick after the whole torture and punishment.

She looked frail and her once full neck bone had became something else.

Her roomates screamed out in fright when they saw her been assisted to the room. The guards handed her over to Luciana as Mariam and Lydia were all wailing.

Galene had already lost consciousness again. Luciana laid her on the bed and stomped out of the room, going to call the castle medicine man.

Mariam wiped her tears and rushed into the bathroom to fetch some water they had left in a bowl and a little piece of cloth. She dipped the piece of cloth in the cool water and started wiping Galene's body after Lydia had undressed her.

Galene's body was as hot as a blazing charcoal ready to burn anyone who touched it. Her breathing was haggard, threatening to stop at any moment.

The water Mariam was wiping her with had turned hot and yet, her body was not having any changes.

The door opened and Luciana came in with the medicine man who examined her and gave them a portion to feed her when she wakes.

He also told them to continue dabbing cold water on her until her body gets better and to get her food for her body is too weak to lift up when she has been starved for days.

The three girls got enough water and continued wiping her body till her hot temperature slowly reduced and after a while, it came back to normal.

They covered her body with thick garment and left her bed to allow her sleep better.

Next morning......

Galene muffled weakly, her eyelid too heavy for her to lift. Gathering all her strength, she slowly opened her eyes and a strong headache hit her. It was as though seven hefty men were drumming on her head.

She groaned trying to sit up but she couldn't lift a bone. She gave up and laid still her weak eyes roaming round the empty room.

Was she done with her three day punishment at the dungeon, this one she was already in the room she shared with the girls and why can't she raise herself up" she was still confused and wondering what had happened when the door creaked open.

She slowly took her eye to see Maria coming in along side Lydia and Luciana. They rushed to her when they noticed she was awake. Luciana rushed out of the room and Galene sighed thinking she was ignoring her.

Mariam and Lydia came to her bedside and sat examining her body.

"Are you alright Galene?" Mariam checked her temperature with the back of her hand and heaved a sigh of relief. She was greatly improving and soon she would be fine.

Luciana returned back to the room with the portion the medicine man gave them and helped her to sit up, feeding the portion to her and when she was done, she left the room and soon returned with a wooden plate containing food.

Galene weakly ate the food. She was hungry but had no appetite and strength to eat. She managed to take enough to sustain her and laid back on the bed closing her eyes in pain. Her back still hurts and her inner thigh, it looks like it really tore as it was still paining her.

A single tear dropped from her eye and Luciana wiped it off. "It's going to be ok Galene be strong and do not let them see through you" she said and turned around, leaving the room with the almost empty plate and the medicine portion.

"Lay on your back" Mariam said coming back from her side of the room where she went to grab a soothing balm. Galene nodded, Laid on her back with the help of Lydia while Mariam applied the balm soothingly on her back.

She knew she would be left with scars when the wound finally healed. Look what her own father made her go through just because she was a female.

Mariam finished applying the balm on her back, helping her change her clothes.

Laying back weakly on her bed, tears streaming down her eyes, she muffled wiping them away as she remembered Luciana's word.

Yes! she would no longer let them see her pains and scorn her. She would become strong for herself and her mother. She would no longer show her pains and weakness to the master.

Hence, she would allow him do whatever thing he wants to do to her without letting him see her pains with that, she closed her eyes and sleep overtook her.
