~~~~~~~~GIDA CLAN OF THE CARRAN COMMUNITY******
"Galene hurry up we would be late to the stream if you keep wasting time" Diana called out to her friend placing her pot on the floor.
"I would soon be out Diana just a few more minutes to get all the water out from the pot" A meek voice replied from inside.
"Ok just be quick"
"Let's go" Galene said tapping her friend who was lost in her gaze. She blinked and stood up adjusting her corset.
" You are so beautiful Galene that at times I wonder if you were created by the goddess of beauty herself" Diana retorted and Galene gave out a soft Chuckle.
"Don't tell me you were fantasizing of me moments ago Diana" she laughed lightly
"Of course I was, I mean who wouldn't? Your beauty has no comparison and no lady could measure up to you; I'm really grateful you were my friend and I get to be seen with such a beauty as yours" she replied with a big smile plastered on her face.
"Common Diana you know you are as beautiful as the gods created you too. you shouldn't compare yourself to anyone" Galene muttered looking at her friend in disbelief.
She couldn't believe Diana could be comparing her to herself of course Diana is also beautiful.
Everyone is beautiful just the way they were created but her dearest Diana would never understand.
She would rather insist that Galene's beauty should not be considered as mere beauty but a work of art.
"The sun would soon be out, let's hurry up before the stream becomes stuffy" Galene said to her friend Diana who nodded in agreement.
"Look Galene, it's Zach" Diana chipped smiling at her friend as they both looked up at boy who was running towards them.
"Why are you smiling like that Diana? What are you thinking in that small brain of yours?" Galene asked staring suspiciously at her friend.
"Galene" he called immediately he reached their presence. "I heard from your mother that you had already left for the stream so I came running after you" he said breathing heavily.
"Yes the sun would be up soon so we have to be on our way now," she said and tried to leave but Zach held her back.
"Wait for Galene, I brought you this" he smiled and brought out a beautiful blue wristband "I saw it at the market yesterday and decided to buy it for you considering the color-matched your eyes" he grinned and she smiled collecting it from him.
"Thank you, Zach, but you didn't have to go that far to get me this," she said touching the wristband.
"It's nothing really, I just wanted to buy it for you; See it suits your skin as if the maker thought of you while making it" he said and I smiled. "I like it too," I said and he blushed
"We would be on our way now" Galene said and he nodded, turned to wave at Diana and walked off.
"Let me see" Diana shrieked clutching her hands and checking out the blue wristband. "Awwwww!!!!! Galene can't you see he likes you" she chipped and Galene frowned.
"Stop with your silliness Diana he just said he saw the wristband and thought it would suit me so he got it; when did you hear like from him," Galene said frowning.
"How would you explain a man who went to the market and bought a wristband for a lady who is not his sister" I keep telling you this but you wouldn't want to listen to me.
This guy loves you so much but he might be very shy to admit to you. I don't know why you would not listen to me and I keep explaining to you" she groaned.
"I don't know what you are talking about so can we go now? Galene asked walking and Diana shrugged and followed her.
They reached the stream and were grateful to have met it empty except for two ladies washing their clothes.
They seemed to be too engrossed in their talk as their hadn't noticed the presence standing few metres away from them as they come continued their gossip.
"She always carried herself as though she's more beautiful than everyone in this kingdom when she can't even afford a good dress like the rest of the maidens" One of the girl muttered.
"Her father even beats up her mother," the other girl said and they both laughed.
"The other day, I had seen her father falling around after drinking himself to stupor".
"Why so pathetic; was it her fault that you were born ugly or was it her fault no man looked at you and no one praised you," Diana said out loud and dragged out the girl who insulted her friend's mother.
"I would love to show you how to become beautiful," she said and the girl widened her eyes quickly nodded her head.
"You mean you will show me how she became beautiful?" The girl asked and Diana nodded.
"Do you not want to be beautiful just like my Galene?" Diana asked with a smirk.
Of course, I would love to be as beautiful as she looks even more than that" the girl said with a wide grin.
Galene tried to hold her laugh but couldn't, how foolish could she be to think Diana could make her beautiful.
"But why would you want to make me as beautiful as she is when you yourself aren't as beautiful as she is?" The girl asked staring suspiciously at Diana.
"You are the one who said you wanted to be as beautiful as Galene, not me. If I want to be then I would but since I do not want then I could make you so.
Do you not know I am gifted with some powers to enhance someone's beauty?" Diana bragged and Galene chuckled clamping her hands over her mouth to stop her from laughing out loud.
"Ok make me beautiful" the girl said and walked to Diana who in turn nodded and took her hands then began walking towards the water.
Diana smirked and suddenly pushed her into the middle of the stream "Take your bath,that is how to become beautiful" she said and collected Galene's pot and fetched water for the both of them. She turned to the other girl who immediately shifted back, "Mind your business and while you are at it, brush your teeth; you wouldn't want to know how badly It stinks she scrunched up her nose and Galene laughed out loud. "Let's get out of here before they infect us with their ugliness" Diana breathe out and the other girl who was pushed into the water wailed. "Stupid girl" keep on following her around like a puppet" she muttered and Diana turned glaring daggers at her. "One more silly word from you, and you will have yourself to blame" She howled and they immediately kept mute. "Leave them alone Daina, they are not worth our time" Galene retorted holding her friend and walking out of the stream. Galene walked into their compound with her
"They wouldn't lend me money, they said I had come to borrow for my drunk husband that even if they gave me as little as a shekel, I wouldn't be able to pay back," she said weeping. "The one who the husband had tried to borrow me, his wife had accused me of trying to take away her husband from her by collecting money from him. I had to leave before she calls the villagers" her mother said with more tears rushing down her eyes. "You see mother, you shouldn't have gone to them. Even though I only had two dresses, I would wear them happily till I save up enough" she said comforting her mother who continued weeping. "We would not die out of hunger, as long as we are alive, the gods would provide food for us" Galene assured her mother. "But am not happy Galene, I am not. My only daughter couldn't dress like her fellow maidens, if not for your god's given beauty, I wonder who would look at you" she said and Galene smiled. "You just said it mother, t
"No they would definitely catch me and even if they don't, they would go back and slay my poor mother because Master Damien is someone who doesn't hesitate to kill as I heard". "If all the stories said about him were all true, then I better keep to my self" she mumbled and sat still looking out of the carriage windows. She could not believe she had always prayed to get onto a carriage and rode round the village and the first carriage she would ever get on was the one taking her to her doom. A place she would work and suffer for the gods knows when and probably would never ever lay eyes on her mother and clan again. "Oh father what have you done" she muttered in pain. She would never forgive him and hope nemesis catches up with him. She sighed as the carriage came to a stop and she got down. She wouldn't deny that the castle was breath taking. Of what use was it to her when she came here as a slave. She preferred her rickety cottage to
"I mean what was your crime to be here" she asked and Galene sighed tears tricking down her eyes. "My father sold me out to Master Damien" she said sniffing and wiping off her tears. "Oh poor girl, How could your family be so heartless to give out his daughter to become a sex slave" she exclaimed pity written all over her face. "Wait you mean I would become a sex slave? Galene asked sitting up. "Yes that was the only thing you would be as a young lady in Master Damien's castle. Other servants and slaves were either married or older" she replied and Galene fell to the floor weeping uncontrollably. "How could you father, how could you be so cruel to your only daughter? What was my offend to you that you decided to treat me like an outcast father?" Galene wailed her voice rosing and filling the room. "Sshhh!!!! Lower your voice, if they get to hear your voice, they wouldn't hesitate to slay you" she said and
"Wait" one of the guard standing there howled at her and she abruptly stopped. The guard that brought her left and one of the guard standing by the door walked into the room. She stood there looking down at the floor, her chest hammering and her hand shaking. She took several intakes of breath to calm her nerves. Soon the guard came out and signalled the other own who inturned, searched her before he allowed her in. She walked into the room and glanced around but couldn't find where the master was so she stood still looking down. Come forward he ordered and her heart flew into her mouth and she quickly took her hands to hide her almost exposed boobs. She breathe out and dragged her legs towards him. She stood at his front and looked down "Good day master she greeted but he ignored her and cupped her left bre*st. She Frozed at the spot and her heart hammered. "Look at me he said and she looked up.
"Just ignore her" Mariam said and Galene nodded. Master Damien sat down on a raised chair sipping red wine from a cup while watching as his guards as they hit a man repeatedly. The man's scream echoed through the room and extended out sounding through the hallway. "What are you doing Duru? Is that how to you hit or your hands are too heavy to lift a strip" He shrieked, glaring daggers at a guard who was hitting with all his strength. He poured more wine into his royal cup enjoying the wail coming out from the man's throat. Hearing wails and cries made him happy, He enjoyed it as much as he enjoyed sex. He got tired of hearing the man's wail and stood up picking up his sword. "Splash" the man's head came rolling off his neck and he smiled, placing back the sword on the gilt. "You know what to do Duru" he said and Duru nodded. "Robin get me the new Slave" he ordered and took his wine bottle existing t
Gathering the remaining strength in her, She whimpered as she grabbed her dress from the floor and slipped it through her head. She stood at a spot and tried not to look at him and using a lot of efforts, she dragged her feet towards the door. She could fell his gaze on her back but didn't dare look back at him. Trying not to show weakness, she opened the door and left his room. She got to their room entrance and crashed to the floor wailing out loud. "What has she done to her father to deserve these punishments? Shouldn't they just kill her so she could rest. "gods and goddess weren't they looking down on her while she suffers in the hands of master Damien. Her inner legs hurts so bad. She couldn't endure the pain. These were more than torture to her, she weeped crouching on four. * * Lydia who had been pacing tho and fro the hallway, worriedly waiting to know w
"I could see that, I had been wondering around this whole place for minutes now and my legs are beginning to ache me" the lady laughed softly. "I see you are one of us and you are probably new here" The lady said and Galene nodded. "I got here a week ago" she answered and the lady nodded. "Now I understand perfectly" My dear slaves are not allowed to the master's personal kitchen and that was where u were headed" The lady pointed out. "Follow me for I would show you where the slaves kitchen are located, she said and Galene followed her. They soon arrived the kitchen entrance and the lady stopped. "I would leave you now, you can go in she said and turned to go but Galene called her back. "Please can I know your name she said and the lady smiled. "Amaya" she said smiling and Galene nodded and also smiled back. "My name is Galene" she said and Amaya beamed. "Peace" I love it and it reflects on you" she said and Galene blus
