SAMMIE'S POV.
I swallow hard not wanting to annoy the woman by asking further questions, pressing further will only make her irritated and that's a risk I am not willing to take, I swallow hard, unable to give the whole thing a sensible explanation.
I'm sold once more into slavery and this time there's no way around it, there is no way out,I'm branded as a slave now with a huge logo immersed into my skin
Funny how I had thought Max would come bolting through the doors to see me once again,and how I had hoped he would be at the other end waiting for me as he had bought me yet again once more.
All still I end up in the hands of a nice lady who seems too good to be tried and now she's shattering every ray of light in me by telling me she isn't master.
It's just so annoying, it's causing me lots of pain that I have to get through this but more still each time the memory sinks deep into me.
How I had been treated all my life and now I'm stuck at the very starting point having nothing to do and no one to turn to makes things way worse for me.
"Here you are, welcome to your new home" she says once more in an elegant manner causing me to peer out the window of the car.
The huge, tall iron wrought gates opens up on their own accord and there is a five minutes drive through gardens,
Finally I see a huge tall building come into view, a castle that amazes me.
All painted in blue, which complements the green colors in the garden or rather od the garden.
The garden is empty and so are the main doors. I was expecting whoever bought a slave to be wealthy but then again I didn't expect a nice view.
Once again my Interest is sparked and my curiosity rises to the top notch making me feel more than uncomfortable.
"Oh come on in my dear and release those tensions in your shoulders Mr vale is a nice man"
Hearing the woman speak once more sends cold chills down my spine, she speaks of a certain Mr vale and now again she speaks of him like he has sin in the world and that makes some even more uncomfortable.
"Why are there no guards?" I ask slowly, not wanting to annoy her as I speak out really cautious of my words and actions.
"There are guards my dear, it's just that they don't stand about or loiter around on the grounds, they have their very own quarters" she responded before taking a long glance at me as if observing something for a while.
"I think you have no reason to be worried little miss Kate"
"Kate?!" I ask all of a sudden, unsure if I had heard things right I was hallucinating, why would she give me the name Kate? I wonder knowing well he had not asked for my name.
If she had I would have said I gave her a fake one just to cover up my tracks. I found an escape route. I mean I won't have the brand on my skin with a name that is easy to track.
But I had said nothing at all to her, all I did was watch while she spoke and listened to her carefully.
"Oh young miss you'll get used to it, you are a lucky one I have to say, the name Kate suits you perfectly well" she says as she moves closer towards the main door.
The door is pushed open all of a sudden like she was expected and through and they had ears perked up to her as her footsteps approached.
Walking in I see lots of people standing by the doors, u make a mental count in haste and arrive at the number twenty six.
Although I had looked around real quick I can't help but wonder if they had planned the whole thing or it was all working well in due course.
Although I do know I made a mistake while counting, it's definitely counting wrong and not right.
All maids I can tell, both male and female dressed in blue, with red Aron's strapped to their waists.
The aprons had little lines and holes which I could make sense into being pockets.
"I guess this is the new Kate?" A lady walks out from nowhere or maybe somewhere but do not blame me I hardly know the interior of the whole building.
"You all can go back to your duties,rooms, anything ," the woman who had brought me here said and they all moved back swiftly, soon all were out of my sight leaving just the woman who brought me, The pregnant one and I.
All three of us are standing awkwardly by the main doors, the pregnant woman seems to have a frown on her face.She doesn't like me, it's that simple to know.
"Darling you'll take place as Kate henceforth, this lady before you used to be Kate" she says pointing to the pregnant woman who gawks at me shamelessly not minding that I'm uncomfortable at her long stares.
"Common Brenda says Hi to Kate ,you don't want her thinking you are stone hearted or something" the woman says to the pregnant woman who I can now tell is Brenda by name.
"Whatever Maggie, sort all this out you brought my replacement and she's this?" Brenda asks with a clear tone of bitterness mixed with rage before walking away from us.
"Never mind her silly finds trouble closing in with people, let's just go straight to your point.
Come on now lemme show you to your room" she says and for the first time I get to take a look at the whole house.
The first thing I notice is the tiles all being blue and black, the inner walls are painted black while the outer was painted I'm blue like I had last recalled.
"Don't bother thinking hard, you'll he given a tour of the whole house soon,but for now you need to get settled in"
I nod as a response unable to speak or rather I had lost my voice due to fear, why am I named after someone called Kate?
Besides the Kate I am replacing had a child in her belly, I know definitely I'm not brought here to slave away, I'm probably here because I have to take on a position after someone.
A surrogate perhaps?I mean she doesn't look like one who had been maltreated in any manner but getting pregnant for someone it's a huge no.
I don't know what my fate will be if I dare to resist but then again I can't just can't listen to them and agree to birthing the child of a total stranger just to save my life.
Bringing a child into this world? It's a huge no for me besides I do not know if I'm going to birth a wolf or a human because I can hardly Tell which I am to be exact.
I had been so lost in thoughts that I ha don't paid attention to whatever she was saying ir the paths that leads to the narrow corridor which I am in now, each side if he corridor had doors like that of dorm rooms
I'm taken to the farther end and the door is opened to give me access,the room isn't so great neither is it tiny, it's just the perfect size for a surrogate which is tiny but higher in level than that of a maid.
"Will I be sharing rooms with…"
"No dear this room belongs to you" she says cutting into my question but then again she must have sensed me hesitating for a while.
"You aren't here as a surrogate" she answers immediately which makes me flinch.
How could she freaking hear what I said just to myself,
"Have a seat Kate, I think there's lots of things to discuss" she says and I walk closer to my bed before seating stiffly at the edge.
"You aren't brought here as a surrogate neither are you a slave or maid, you have a job of yours, one that makes you most lucky and most vulnerable"
The more she speaks the more my skin crawls with goosebumps, I dare to think about anything for fear that she might hear or do whatever she had done earlier.
"You aren't brought here to be a slave kate, however your major role here is to be food" she says before faking a long and questioning glance at me.
"Food?" I am unsure if she had said it wrong or had problems expressing herself well.
"What food?" I ask once again,perhaps she meant I'll be serving food to someone or some set of people and got it all twisted.
"Oh stop getting it wrong child, I meant what I said, you'll be fed on by your master… your blood to be precise."
