"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 blushed.
"Thank you Amaya, I hope to see you next time she said and Amaya nodded and walked away.
Galene walked into the kitchen looking around the extra large kitchen which would be capable of containing hundreds of people.
She saw an older woman who was staring something in a large pot.
"Good day madam" she greeted and the woman smiled and replied her. "How are you my daughter she said she Galene smiled remembering her mother.
Oh how she missed her and she wondered if her father was still feasting on her.
"I'm fine madam" She smiled lightly and walked closer to the woman.
"I came to know if I could have something to eat, my body is loosing energy" she said and the woman nodded understanding her as she knew she just satisfied the Master and most of the sex slaves talked of how fierce he was on bed. Too bad a very pretty girl like her could become a sex slave to a dreaded Master who enjoys seeing people pained.
"Have a seat my dear, I'll be done in a short while" she said and Galene smiled and took a seat and looked around the whole kitchen finally noticing few other elder women working at moment.
In a short while, the woman attended to her with a sumptuous meal and she started eating immediately.
"In case you need anything else, just call on me" she said and walked away and Galene focused on her meal.
After a long while, she was done eating and she thanked the woman who in turned smiled at her and she left the kitchen heading back to their room.
She returned to the room and quickly showered. She felt relief now and she no longer felt pain in-between her legs.
She stayed under the shower for a while, washing every part of her body properly.
She felt the door open and guessed her roomates were back.
She rouded up with her bath, tied a towel round her and left.
Getting to the bedroom, she found Lydia and Mariam sitting and having a discussion.
She turned to glance at Luciana's bed but she wasn't on it so she walked towards mariam's bed.
"Good evening" she greeted the two girls and they nodded smiling at her.
"How are you doing Galene and your legs, had it subsided? Mariam asked and she nodded.
"The medicine worked, I could work properly now" she mused and they nodded.
"Come sit Lydia patted at her side and she quickly went over there sitting down.
She remembered her mother and sniffed
"What's wrong, why are you crying" both ladies asked and she sniffed more.
"I don't know my mother's fate, I missed her" she replied and they sighed sadly.
We could help you sneak out to go see her and return before the master noticed your absence" Lydia said and she beamed.
"Really? You would do that for me?" she asked wiping her tear stained face.
"Yes very early tomorrow morning, I would plead with one of the guards to allow you go out for some hours". Lydia said and Galene smiled pulling them both for a hug.

The next morning....
Lydia had talked to one of the guard whom she was related to and he had agreed to let her visit her mother and be back before noon.
The guard had sneaked her out very early through a hidden passage that he told her only few people knew about which lead her to the woods.
She ran through the bushy pathway looking around to be sure she was not been followed.
She saw a carriage at a distance and instantly ran towards it breathing heavily.
She flagged down the carriage jumping so the man could see her. "Please Mister, can you help me get to Gida clan? She pleaded with him and he nodded.
"Get in, you are lucky I'm going towards that direction" he uttered and she smiled bowing slightly in appreciation. She quickly climbed up the carriage ride which started moving towards her clan.
After a long while, she reached her destination and thanked the kind man who was generous enough to bring her right to their compound without collecting any coin from her. Not that she had any anyways.
"Mother!!!" Galene called, rushing towards her mother immediately she stepped into their small cottage.
Her mother who was pouring out water from a pot into a big jar turned around on hearing her daughter's voice, she let out a loud scream and drew Galene into her embrace.
"My daughter!!!" She sobbed as she held her tightly, checking her body for signs of wounds. She heaved a sigh of relief when she found none. Looks like they didn't subject her precious daughter to punishments and hard labour.
"Mother!!!" Galene sighed holding her mother as she had started weeping. "I'm good mother, he isn't that bad towards us and I'm not been maltreated" she said trying to sound convincing enough as she would not want her mother to fall sick while thinking too much about her.
