TITLE: IT WAS A NIGHTMARE,I WISH I NEVER WOKE UP
"She's not yet awake?"Azazel asked,as he drank from the ceramic cup.
"Yes, Master"
He scoffed and dropped the cup on the table,frustrated.
"Why did she keep sleeping like a log of wood?As if I slept with her for the whole night"He muttered, clearly disgusted and Rita clenched the tray tightly.
In as much as she's expected to respect Azazel,she hates it when he makes derogatory marks about humans, Although,the reasons why he hated them is tenable enough but he doesn't have to do it in her presence.
"It was her first time.."She started slowly,Azazel looked up at her,clearly not understanding the points she was trying to make.
"I know..."
"And she didn't expected it,I assured her that you will never touch her as you did to the other slaves,She was chained,tortured,You drew pleasure from her in the most brutal way,Do you expect her to start bouncing like a healthy human the next day?"She bawled getting overly emotional over it.
"Ri...."
"Your food will soon be ready,I will leave now to supervise it"She bowed sharply before walking out of the room.
•
"Why are tears coming from my eyes?"She huffed in anger as she stomped out of the courtyard.
She saw Eleanor running up to her and walked faster towards her.
"What is it?"Rita asked in anxiety and she panted.
"She's awake again"She muffled out the words in between deep breaths,Rita ran past her and scurried to the room.
Getting there,She was still struggling with her eyes shut,Rita knelt beside her and grabbed her two hands.
"Are you fine?"She asked but Onida couldn't answer her.
Her whole body was covered with sweat,Eleanor joined them in the room and started using the flexible material on the floor to fan her.
"Listen to me,Onida,You're not in Azazel room,You're not being chained,You're free now,You're in my room,The Old Rita's room,He isn't here with us, He won't hurt you anymore"Rita whispered softly to her,Slowly,she melted into her arms as if the words had an impact on her.
"Thank you,Onida"She sobbed softly and held her carefully in her arms.
Rita was scared that she would slip into unconsciousness again,she shook her in a harsh manner and she finally snapped back to life,coughing badly.
Eleanor heaved a sigh of relief as well as Rita.
"Get her a cup of water"She ordered,The latter scurried out of the room.
Rita couldn't look at Onida,She helped her sit up and waited patiently for Eleanor to arrive.
The room was silent again as a graveyard.The tension was overwhelming,Rita didn't know how to comfort the poor slave she treated badly a few days ago.
"It wasn't your fault"Onida mumbled,her voice came out crankily.
Rita grabbed the cotton cloth and cleaned her body again,but she didn't respond to her.
"You don't have to blame yourself for what happened,I'm fine, seriously"She continued,Rita dropped the clothes and stared at her,Her eyes laced with tears.
"Are you fine?"She asked, checking her bruised body.
Onida circled her left hand around her right hand wrists and the bruises the chain left were still there,fresh and painful as ever.
Her whole body is pale and white,Her throat dried up, She's still in so much pain and fear.
"I'm not okay"She sobbed, wrapping her hands around her trembling body.
As much as she doesn't want Rita to be worried about her,she couldn't keep it to herself how brutal it was.
"I'm sorry,I should have prepared you for this"She stuttered,Onida shook her head and smiled.
"It would not have make much difference,Don't be guilty for what happened"
Eleanor came back with the water moments later and handed it over to her.
She collected it and drank the whole content once.She dropped the cup and wiped the sweat on her forehead.
"Can I get some food?"She asked softly.
"I will be back soon"Rita replied,in enthusiasm and left the room.
Shortly,she came back with a tray filled with varieties of food,Onida almost jumped at the food and her mouth watered at the sight of the food.
Eleanor dropped it on the small table.
"I will get you some clothes to wear so you can start eating"
Her next actions shocked them,Onida crawled to the food and started eating ravenously,even though she's stark naked,all she cares about is the food in front of her,And how to devour them at once.
"You will get indigestion"Eleanor rubbed her back but she continued eating like a hungry wolf.
"Thank you"she sobbed, mouthful.
Rita smiled and covered her with the wrapper and allowed her to eat the way she wanted.
•
"She's awake,"Adriel announced to Azazel.
"I know"He countered, obviously not in the mood.
"What do you want me to do?,Give me your commands"
"Don't let Margaret near her room"He says simply and walked out of the room.
Adriel looked up immediately,What did he mean by that?
He thought he would give him an order to take her away from the castle?
"Master..."He drew running after him.
"Don't let Margaret get any closer to her,I'm keeping her in the castle for the meantime"
"Why?"He asked,more boldly this time around,Azazel turned to him.He hates it when they question him or ask reasons for his actions.
They are all his workers,even though he cherished them more than every other human,Eleanor,Rita and Adriel.
They stood with him through thick and thin and he could hardly do anything without them.
"I craved for her so much,I was able to live like a normal neanthal for once after years of losing everyone,Even if it lasted for minutes,I enjoyed the moment so much,And cherished it too, In as much as I hates her so much for doing this to me,She's helping me too,I will keep her for sometime till I'm able to break the curses,And you know it won't be easy too"
"Will you be fine?"He asked,concerned,Azazel nodded and patted his back before leaving the garden.
•
After having the sumptuous dinner Rita led her to the bathroom and washed every part of her body.
Thankfully,The Master didn't lose herself,so she won't be worried about taking in.
Even though Rita knows Azazel can't produce an offspring because of the curses laid on him.
They just had to pretend and not let Onida know about it.
"I'm okay"Onida held her hand after washing her with the soap for the fifth time.
Rita flushed and dropped the bar soap in the wooden container.
"You hated his touch,I thought this is the only thing I could do to make you forget what happened between you two"
"It was brutal,And cruel too,But it's something a normal slave can endure,I wasn't just used to it,I can't hate his touch because of this,If there's any reasons for me to hate him was because he didn't check up me through out the time I was unconscious"
