Back to slavery

Chapter 2

The next morning, I woke with a start. I was in unfamiliar surroundings. As I lay there, it all started coming back to me.

My dad selling me, then being hit by the mistress, and then having that Dr. violated me was all too much to take in.

“Get up you lazy girl” came a gruff voice, “What do you think you can sleep all day? Out.”

I jumped out of bed, and I looked at the door where a man was standing.

“Come on, it’s time for your lesson, then breakfast and then the fun really begins.” With that he turns abruptly and walks out.

Learning my lesson, I quickly followed him outside though another door to what looked like a steam room.

“This is what is called a bathhouse; you will come here every morning to bath and dress.”

Grabbing my arm, he pulls me to another room.

“This is where you will prepare every night for your guests. You will have your hair and makeup done. Do you understand?”

I did not know what to say so I just nodded.

The rest of the day went by in a flash. I soon discovered that there were more girls at the house and that I was to start rooming with them while going to lessons. I was to know how to speak, act, entertain, how to give massages, and know how to please with my whole body.

During dinner I was quite stunned. How was I supposed to learn how to please a man? I have never been alone with one before. This was really starting to scare me. I had to get out as fast as I could before anything happened to me.

That night, I was put in a bigger room with 2 other girls. The youngest one, who was 12 at the time, had been living here since she was a baby. Her name was Pin-Mei.

“I know what you are thinking, and it won’t work.”

I just looked at her playing dumb. How did she know what she was thinking?

“I’ve been here long enough to know when someone is thinking about leaving. It won’t work, they will find you. The first time you try to leave, they will take you back and put you in the dark room and not feed you for a week. The second time they will beat you and you will wish you would die, and the third time, well, let’s just say your wish may just come true.” ‘That is what happened to my mother.’

Her mother was sold here when she was 16 but now, she is dead. She told me how her mom got pregnant but did not tell anyone for fear that they would make her give the baby up or worse. When she tried to escape, they found her hiding in the woods, half starved. They brought her back and soon realized that she was expecting. It was too late to get rid of the baby. When it was finally time for her to give birth, she was so skinny and hungry that she did not make it.

They said to let this be a lesson to anyone who tries to escape.

“So here I am cleaning, cooking and looking after the girls in order to make up for what my mother did. One day soon I too will have to entertain men.” With a tear in her eyes, she turned over and went to bed.

Later on that night, after everyone went to bed, I woke up with a start. I did not know what exactly woke me up; I could not see. My eyes had not adjusted to the semi-darkness.

Suddenly, there was movement in the corner, I felt a heavy weight on me, and rough hands started grabbing me, touching me in places that shouldn’t be there. It was revolting. I started struggling, but the more I struggled, the harder the person shoved me.

“Keep it up. I love it when you struggle.”

I did not know the voice. I tried to call out for help, but a hand closed on my mouth.

“This is gonna hurt a lot.”

I started to panic as I felt my nightgown being pulled up and my underwear being ripped off. His hands started touching my mound and he put a finger inside. I went from panic to full on terror.

What was happening? Why was he doing this to me?

“Oh yeah, keep it up. I love it.”

“Please don’t” I muffled.

He then reached down and pulled out his hard member, I wanted to throw up, knowing what he wanted to do, and felt helpless as I couldn’t do anything to stop him. It started pulsating in his hand as he rubbed it. As he was about to mound me, he let go of my mouth and I began to scream as loudly as I could.

Before he was able to enter into me, I felt his weight lighten. Someone had come behind him and through him off me.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

It was master he was saving me.

“Nothing sir, she asked me to come in here and do this to her.”

I shook my head no and backed away from the repulsive little man.

The master turned to me and yelled “Is this true? Did you ask him to come to you?”

“No, I have never seen him before in my life.”

“The b***h is lying, I swear to you she told me she wanted this.”

“Guards get him out of here! You know what we do with traders.”

As he was being dragged out of the room, he was still confessing his innocence.

“As for you,” he turned, “If I ever find another man in this bed again, I will make you pay. There are worse things out there than death.”

With that, he turned and left.
