DEAD ALIVE

PUNISHMENT

I waited impatiently as they ate breakfast like royalty's i couldn't wait for them for them to get finished so I could go in to Lady Deborah's room to go find what belongs to me.

I went to the kitchen o check on the boiling water that lady Elisa gave requested for, she rarely ever drinks hot tea i don't know what change today.

"Here is your hot water, my lady", I said carefully holding the jug of boiling water it would be a disaster if it spill on anyone even a little drop.

I was about dropping it on the table beside her plate when she abruptly stood up grabbing my arms for support pushing me slightly and causing me to drop the jug of hot water she quickly moved away, i screamed so loudly in agonizing pain as the whole jug of boiling water spill on my chest, hands and feet peeling off some skin instantly.

I was in excruciating pain as master pour cold on me while they kids watch in horror, i caught the sight of lady Elisa and lady Deborah giggling as tears flow freely down my face, i realized that they have done this on purpose to hurt me I just don't understand why i haven't done anything to them why wouldn't they hurt Loretta.

I ran to the kitchen to look for anything that could help with the agonizing pain that I was feeling, nothing was helping at all I was in pain.

"Calm down you don't have to be dramatic", master said coming in the kitchen, my skin literally peel off and he was asking me to not be dramatic i wasn't being dramatic crying while watching your skin melt away isn't dramatic.

"The water was boiling hot", I said sniffing while showing him my burned hands, "Jesus", he said quickly leaving the kitchen probably disgusted with my wounds.

"you should be more careful Nadia, look how you hurt your self", Lady Deborah said laughing with lady Elisa as they walk away making me to cry even harder.

"oh my goodness Nadia", Loretta said trying to touch me but i move away " please don't touch me", I said getting up to leave.

I said in the back yard trying not to cry as I rub the cold aloe vera on my burns it was smoothing but it didn't do much to ease my pain, I got up heading back to the house to go start with lunch and take care of the entire house, I might be injured but that didn't mean that i was excuse from working.

I was hurting but i quickly ran up to stairs to lady Deborah's room, I went through her things searching for my bead, I searched everywhere turning the room to a huge mess before fixing it back but I found nothing.

My eyes stung with angry frustrating tears as i close the door behind me entering Lady Elisa chambers I went through her things but didn't find anything i fix her room rushing out before they got back, I hid the ring that i took from lady Elisa room inside my underwear as i got started with lunch since Loretta and the other slaves accompanied the ladies.

"does it hurt?", Sara ask gently grabbing my right arm looking at it closely making me to smile.

"Yes it hurts alot Sara but its going to feel better in no time", I said taking my arm back I didn't want her seeing my wound even I get giddy looking at it, it was irritating honestly.

"you should go look after your brother I will be there soon, run now", I said she mumbled a sorry before running off.

I cover the wounds on my hands with leafs before tying it up with a cloth to make it less scary as i went to serve they kids lunch.

"Henry please eat your food so we could go play OK", I said trying to get him to eat, they others still aren't here i didn't know why they usually were back before lunch, I was glad anyway i wish that they would never return it felt good being with Henry and Sara again its been a while since we last got together like this it felt like before when it use to be just us before all this people showed up ruining all of that.

I looked down at my burned feet getting lost in my thought as they kids did their homework in the leaving room, I wanted to get back at Lady Elisa for what she did to me I didn't think that i deserve it, I didn't do anything to warrant such harsh punishment, i was thankful that the hot water didn't cause too much damage i wouldn't know what to do if it spill on my face.

"Nadia get some water", lady Elisa said coming in to the house with her followers behind her, I rolled my eyes before going to go get them water, why didn't she asked Loretta or her own personal slave, I thought rolling my eyes.

I look to make sure that there was no one coming before taking out the herb that i had hidden in the kitchen for some time now I let it soak in for a minute in their water before taking it out and serving the water, I smirked as the both drank all of the water.

In a few minutes they were both going to be in excruciating pain its going to feel as though their internal organs were being cut into pieces, they won't be able to keep anything down for at least two days maybe that would teach them a little nice lesson.

That poison herb was meant for master i was waiting for the right time to use it on him but right now was just the perfect time for it, I am so glad that i didn't throw it away who knew that it would come in handy one day.

I stood lost in my thoughts as they ate dinner, master wasn't present for dinner he hasn't been home since morning I hope he comes home soon so i can go to bed early.

Lady Deborah abruptly got up running to go use the toilet i guess, I smile to my self knowing that, that was only the beginning of her suffering.

I was beginning to worry that the effect of the poison must have worn out but again lady Elisa proved me wrong by running to the toilet right after her friend.

"you don't look so well my lady, is there anything that i could help you with", I said entering in to Lady Elisa chambers, she was curl up on her bed, pain was the only language that her face spoke.

"Go away you dirty pig, I don't need your help, I am fine", she said asking me to leave her room.

"Have a good night ma'am", I said smiling leaving her alone to deal with her problems i felt so proud of my self. they inflicted pain on me for no good reason at all, they must be stupid to think that i would be the only one going to bed in pains.

"Hello lady Deborah are you doing fine, may i be of any help to you, I saw you leave with out finishing your dinner", I said entering Lady Deborah's room she was on the floor curling over in pain, she doesn't look good.

"Nadia i don't feel good my stomach hurts alot, must be from all the food that we ate in town today", she said crying out.

"Could you please get me some green tea", she said making my eyes go wide this fat pig have never mentioned the word please before, I should do this more often.

"Sure i would be right back", i said leaving her room to go get her some green tea it might ease her pain.

"Here you go lady Deborah", I said helping her to sit up "here you go", I said intentionally spilling a bit on her.

"aw careful there", she said making me roll my eyes it isn't even that hot, "oh thank you so much Nadia", she said after taking a sip of her tea, my eyes went wide after hearing her say 'thank you' this can't be real i smile nodding my head.

"ugh i feel a little bit better now", she said after drinking half of her tea making me smile she was becoming a good girl.

"Try getting some sleep now ma'am", I said after she finished her tea helping her on to her bed before leaving her room.

I smiled to my self passing lady Elisa room i stopped by the her door to hear her whimpers and small cry of pain.

I sat in the kitchen with Loretta eating my dinner not caring if she reports me to master or not, she can starve to die for all i care.

"you never learn", she said making roll my eyes what an i***t letting this people control her like an animal.

"I am going to sleep" she said and I quickly swallow the food in my mouth, "you had better stay clear of my bed Loretta, I don't want any trouble this night", I said to her as she walked away.

My feets and hands were hurting really badly and i just can not fathom the thought of sharing a bed this night.

I waited for master and was quite relieved to hear him come in, he asked for his dinner and serve him while watching him eat, he sure was very hungry.

"My hands, feet and chest are hurting", I said quickly moving away from him as he tried to corner me in the kitchen while I went to pack up for the night.

"I am not f*****g your hands, feet or chest", he said making me gasp at his choice of language, he grabbed my arm pinning it painfully behind me while trying to get me naked, I didn't have it in me to fight him, I didn't want my burn hands getting touched in any way so i let him do what he wanted to he was going to get what he wants anyway.

I was so uncomfortable with this position it was so weird,my burn palm was press against the table for support causing me great amount of pain, we were making a lot of noise and i fear that someone would come in here and i would be dead.

"Lady Deborah might come in here", I said getting really tired of this, lady Deborah was the only excuse that i could come up with.

"let her come join us then", he said breathing hard in my ear making me feel like crying he was so stupid and annoying, i hate him.

"I don't want to get pregnant", i said trying to get away knowing that he was about to let out his warm liquid with the way his pace increase and the harsh way that he was breathing he grab my neck pushing my head into the tray that was on the table as he made strange sounds and before long i felt his warmness on my back slowly dripping down my buttock and some to the floor making me cringe.

This was so disgusting, he was disgusting how could he do this unholy act in the kitchen maybe it was time for me to teach master a lesson.

I fix my self before quickly cleaning the kitchen floor before going to my room for the night, I smile seeing that Loretta have taken my warning seriously as she had laid out a mat on the floor and was currently sleeping there, good for her.

I wash off his dirt off me before going to bed, I wonder how Ceaser was doing i haven't seen him for some time now he must be working very hard to get me out of here, just the thought of it made me smile I was desperate to get out of here especially when master was soon going to marry lady Elisa and she and Lady Deborah would be here forever making my life a living hell.

I close my eyes imagining my life with Ceaser in our own cabin on our bed together just holding each other and falling more in love before sleeping.

I woke up with someone rudely shaking disturbing me from the nice dream that I was having, I was dreaming that i was on a horse holding on to Ceaser tight as we rode off to our freedom.

"you must come now, the master have asked for you", Loretta said as i tried sitting up with sleepy eyes, why was the master asking for me, why is he up this early he is never up this early something must be wrong.

I went in to the bathroom washing my face and mouth before running out to see what was happening with Loretta following behind me it was still early.

"in lady Elisa room", she said as i was about going into master's room I ran to the lady Elisa room entering without even knocking, i smirk seeing lady Elisa rolling in master's arms crying in pain with lady Deborah sitting on her bed with a worried expression on her face, I have completely forgotten about this, I had slept fine even with my wound i didn't have the time to worry about them and what the were going through the night.

"Master", i said acknowledging him as I knelt down beside him faking to be horrify by lady Elisa condition.

"Nadia here knows her way around local herbs that might help you before the doctor arrives, its quite early", he says and i nodded with worried expression on my face.

"My lady how may i help you", I said trying to feel her temperature, "don't touch me you disgusting animal", she scream scaring me and I quickly backed off.

"Can't the other slave make the herb", she asked twisting her face in pain with her head on master's lap.

"Sorry my lady i don't know much about herbs", Loretta said meeking earning herself reign of curses and me giggle softly.

"I will go get it", I said waiting for their response "then go get it you lazy cow", Lady Elisa said and i bow before leaving the room.

It amazes me how lady Elisa still some how found the strength to insult others and saying hurtful things despite being in severe pain she clearly has not learn her lesson unlike her fat friend.

I made her a cup of green tea infusing more of my poison herb in it before taking it up to her.

"what took you so long, how lazy and slowish are you" she said trying to sit up from Loretta's lap, master was no longer in the room he had probably gone to fetch the doctor.

She took off the wet rag from her forehead throwing it on Loretta's face before asking for me to bring her tea too her.

"my goodness didn't you make any for me you lazy pig", lady Deborah said as lady Elisa took a sip, I raised a brow at her not impressed with her attitude her condition wasn't as bad as lady Elisas's and that's was because i allowed it but she was testing me right now.

"Run along now go get mine", she said and i turn to leave "so stupid", she said as i left the room, lady Elisa slave was just standing there totally uninterested in what was happening.

"Ah i feel better", lady Elisa said as i walk back to the room with lady Deborah cup of tea, 'you feel better for now' i thought giggling in my head.

"I told you so", her friend said eager to take her cup with a smile on her face, "we are never eating there again", she said taking a sip and Lady Elisa nodded finishing her cup of tea.

Neither of them said thank you instead they send me out calling me names and sending harsh hurtful words my way, I wasn't worried because it didn't matter to me what they say i still have the upper hand.

I took care of the children since either of them was in no position of even helping themselves, "Nadia!!", Henry scream as i entered his room standing on his bed and asking for me to carry him.

I carried him hugging him as i inhale his smell i miss taking care of him i didn't mind that my hands were burned.

"It hurts so much, I am going to die Robert please do something", lady Elisa cries sitting on the dining floor next to her rolling friend, "oh lord oh lord my stomach I am going to die, call the doctor, please", they cried even harder as the kids stare in confusion and master went to them trying to get them to calm down.

They appear to be in serious pain not that i care, the couldn't have Breakfast as they cried while waiting on the doctor, its a good thing that he was taking his time.

I sat outside after the doctor gave the ladies the help the needed and they were now asleep, finally we have some peace and quietness in the house.

I examine the burn on my the palm of my hands it looked worse than it did yesterday and more disgusting as i took off the cloth and leafs that i use in covering the wound, water had gotten in to it making it look even more disgusting and painful.

I endure the pain while taking care of they children and washing the dishes, i endure because i didn't have a choice i must work.

"here let me help you", Gladys said making me smile, btaking the aloe vera from my hand she smiled back before helping me rub the slimy gel on my burned hands and feet.

"Do you know why my master doesn't like you at all Nadia", she asked and i shake my head no, Gladys and i never spoke much we only spoke when we absolutely have to so i was quite earger to hear what she had to say.

"Because Loretta told her that you are sleeping with her husband to be, i am sure you can understand where her anger is coming from", she said and i nodded it all made sense now why she hates me, why Loretta was now sharing a room with me and why the lady was constantly making my life miserable.

"I don't want any of it, its rape", I said to her as she finish applying the aloe vera to my wounds, she didn't say anything she placed her hand on my shoulders asking me to feel better before walking away, while I mumble a small thank you.
