Saved By My Slave Mate

Confusion

Confusion

Six: Clay

After I watched the white-haired goddess being forced into the building. I was confused about the feelings rushing through me. I have never felt these feelings before. I don’t know what to make of them as my best friend and confidant Andre touches my shoulder. “What is it? What’s wrong?” he asks me in a low voice. I just shake my head. “It is nothing. We better get to the Auction Court before it fills up and get the food and refreshments ready or Master will have my head.” I state turning away from him.

I had met Andre about five years ago when he was brought here from a catch. From what he told me he is the son of the only tribe that tried to stand up to our cruel Queen. His tribe at the time was powerful and huge. They could have defeated the Queen if they were not caught unawares of her evil plans. Instead of facing them head on a group of the Queens army snuck in while everyone was sleeping and slit his father throat taking Andre his only son as prisoner. He was tortured for a long time with me being charged to clean him up. We became fast friends. When they assumed they had broken him they thought it would be a good way to show how they treat people that think they are better than them. They work him to the bone doing everything from hard labor to these stupid auctions. I sigh in discuss. I don’t want to be around another one of these demeaning auctions.

As we walk towards the kitchens, I hear Andre mumble something that makes me stop and look at him. “What was that?” I asked him as he stopped in front of me and looked at me. “I was saying I hope Lykel doesn’t want the white-haired girl. You know he always gets what he wants being the Queens brother and all.” I feel my face lose all its color as I think of what that monster does to females. None ever come back without either being dead or committing suicide. There are rumors of females committing suicide when he takes an interest in them. A shiver of dread runs up my spine. I don’t know how I feel about this thought as I turn back around and continue into the kitchens.

I feel like I have run a marathon already today and the auction has just started. Cook has me setting up the platters and arranging the snacks on them. I had to set the tables up to hold the food by where the pens are set up for after the auction is done. I stop and help Andre as I watch him struggle with a barrel of Ale. I get on one side, him on the other as we both lift to get it on the stand. I step back and watch as he taps the barrel with the tap closed. I sigh as he smiles at me. I hear as the announcements as they auction off the field and house slaves. I run up to the roof to watch what the outcomes are as the food and drink is ready, I have a couple of minutes to myself.

We reached the roof just when they were auctioning off the male and females for the field and house slaves. Thank Goddess we missed the degrading show of naked bodies. A shiver runs up my spine. “When are we going to escape to the Rouges Camp?” I question Andre not turning around from this spectacle in front of us on the ground. “The first opportunity that we get to get outside of the Queens grounds.” He states. I can tell he is upset at what’s going on below just like I am. The last to be introduced on the stage is the new additions to the Arena Fighters. I can’t help but to stare at her. Even in the sack she is wearing her beauty shines like a beacon drawing and holding my eyes to her. I don’t know why she has such a hold over me. This will make it harder for me to keep track of my future plans.

We have been planning for a year now since his cousin got word to him about the Rogues he has gathered to try and overthrow the Queen and her following. I sigh as all of them are led to the pens. I lose sight of her as Andre draws my attention to him. “We need to get going before we are missed.” He says as I catch sight of my silver haired goddess once more. I just can’t keep my eyes off of her and I feel a well of longing in the pit of my stomach. I force myself to calm down. We need to leave but I still cannot manage to take my sight away from her.

I nod my head as I continue to just watch her. She must have felt my eyes on her as she looks straight as me. I feel something in me react to her eyes on me and I feel my eyes start to itch. I blink them rapidly before the feeling goes away. Andre is grabbing my arm pulling me to the access door on the roof. We hurriedly climb down and go to the courtyard where everyone is gathered eating drinking and having a good ole time. Talking about their new purchases as if they are items and not people. Some were boasting about what they are going to do to their new s*x slaves. I shudder in revulsion at some of the comments that I don’t want to hear.

As we get close to the table for collecting the money for the purchases, Master steps in front of us. “You two, I want you to collect the money from the high-ranking members.” She says handing us both lists. “If you are one schilling off, I will take it out of your hides.” She says with an evil smile. This means for us to keep the lists and not lose them. She likes to play dirty and say you are short just to torture us. I walk off to carry out her orders when I hear a commotion. I look over to where my white-haired goddess is being held by Star with her hands behind her back.

I watch as that bastard Lykel reaches out a hand as Star forces the white-haired goddess forward. He is going to touch her. That is against the rules as she is marked for the arena not as a s*x slave. I want to rush over there and pull her out of Star’s hands. The thought stuns me. I have lived this life since I can remember. I don’t understand how I’m wanting to keep this female safe when I don’t even know her. I watch as everyone around gasps as the female kicks at Lykel, I heard a snap of a bone breaking and Lykel screaming like a little female. I want to laugh but hold it in. I hear Master shout to take her to the torture room.

All I can think of is that little act of bravery is going to cost her a lot tonight when Master and Star have their way with her. I wish I could save her that misery. I sigh and complete my task after watching her being dragged away. I sigh as I approach the first name on my list and collet his money giving him his receipt for his money. I put it all into a pouch to keep it safe. It takes me about an hour to do my job and do it properly. It took me a couple of hours today to collect all of the money. Keeping my head down I approached the table where Master was talking to the women collecting the money from there. I handed her the pouch and list.

I stood there staring at the ground while the money was counted and check against the list. I heard Lykel talking to Master. I tilted my head listening as Lykel wanted to have time with the hellcat. I smirked at that name. I kind of fit her personality. What really surprised me and made me upset was to hear what Master’s response was. “No, Lykel, the Queen has requested to see her tomorrow and was very upset to hear you wanted her.” I hear Lykel moan at that. “Damit, she wants first dibs on that female.” I heard him say walking away.

I was rocking back and forth on my feet waiting to be dismissed as I hear Master talking to me. “Dung, don’t go to far. You will be needed soon with your medical bag.” I stop and stand still. “Yes, Master.” She doesn’t sound too happy. “Go clean off the tables. I will send for you when I need you.” I take a step back responding. “Yes, Master.” As I turn to leave. Hellcat, with white hair. I smirk as I think about her. With her temper it fits but her angelic features I would call her angel.
