The sun had set and rose in the sky four times before Mai had grown conscious. Making majority of her journey stress free from the harsh camp environment. They were over a good distance away from the capital city and the reach of the Emperor. Very few of the Emperor"s guards patrolled this area, the few that did could easily be paid off for their continued silence.Mai was tired as she rolled over to her side slowly opening her eyes. Mai a.s.sumed that she could have kept sleeping but the constant b.u.mps had woken her from her sleeping grogginess. Looking around the tiny s.p.a.ce that she was in Mai realized that it was a wagon that could easily house a small family for a journey across the country. She was surprised to find that she was atop a bed and covered in warm blankets.
"Wait!... what happened to the guy that was in my room?" Mai thought to herself as she attempted to understand the situation. "How did I wind up inside of a wagon? Is this the next part of the plan?" Mai whispered to herself trying to keep herself from freaking out.
Mai moved towards the end of the wagon and poked her head out of the small area that offered air flow from the back side. She blinked her eyes repeatedly as she stared at the line of girls that trailed behind the wagon. They watch wore a collar that was chained to the one in front of it.
"There is no way that this was part of the plan" Mai thought to herself as she stared down at her body in wonder. She realized that she wore the same robe that had been practically ripped off of her the night the man had come into her room. To her relieve there were no deep bruises that could be seen on her skin but was uncertain if the man had touched her anywhere else.
"I seriously didn"t make it away from the city just to become a slave did i?" Mai said softly as that was the only thing that could make sense in this situation. Mai cursed at whatever potion the man had given her that rendered her incapable of remember the past.
Mai decided that the best course of action was to remain inside the wagon and to not alert anyone of her consciousness than when it was the middle of night to run away from the camp.
"We will be arriving in the city soon. Prepare all the people that will be going to the slave auction there. Clean them up it always gives us a coin or two more" a dominating male voice sounded right beside the wagon.
"Yes sir" another male answered.
Mai sucked in a breath as she quickly went to lie untouched of her small bed that was in the corner. Do her dismay the aphrodisiac choose this moment to quickly take affect. Mai couldn"t help but let out a low moan from the material the was touching her skin.
"Well that answers that question, the man didn"t **** me… unless he just gave me more of the aphrodisiac" Mai thought to herself.
The burning sensation started between her legs again, it was even stronger than it had originally been before. Mai realized that it was the type that wouldn"t go away unless she got relieve in the form of a man.
Mai tried to not cry as she thought about how her new life was already different from what she imagined it would be like.
A man pushed opened the back of the wagon letting in bright sunlight. "Come, slave it is time to clean you up" he gruff voice made Mai almost shiver in antic.i.p.ation.
"Come on.. keep yourself together.. do you really want this man to touch you" Mai tried to reason with herself as she was beckoned towards a small stream that was close to the road that they traveled on. Mai couldn"t help but let a few moans escape her when the man gently touch her arm to steady her on has she walked towards the stream.
"The doctor said it would take a bit longer to kick in than this" the man cursed under his breath as he did his best to not touch any other part of her.
"Doctor?" Mai asked herself "why would they have a doctor look after me if they are only going to sell me. Or did they want it to be a surprise for me new to be captures."
The stream was freezing as Mai entered into its small depths. She could feel the grim of a couple days come off of her as it flowed with the rest of the stream. Mai went to rub her body but couldn"t help the whimpering that escaped her mouth as she grazed her skin.
"Okay that"s enough back to the wagon you go" the man grunted in desire.
Mai knew that lots of other people would have just taken her on the spot and was rather grateful for the small act of kindness that came from him.
"Stay in the wagon until we call you got it?" The man asked her as they returned up the slope to the road that they were currently stopped on.
Mai nodded her head up and down in acknowledgement as she climbed back into the wagon. The river although cold did nothing to help the burning sensation that was now running throughout her body. The lightest of touches would send pleasure running through her body while her need only grew.
Mai felt the wagon start to shift as it continued on its journey towards the town that she had seen in the distance. Although escape sounded nice before she was sold it was near impossible for her to go far without having to pause. Mai was afraid that she would jump onto the first male she saw so that it would all go away.
The wagon came to a complete stop 20 minutes later. Mai could hear the slave auction happening around with rather high amount being called out for the girls.
A thump on the side of the wagon signified that it was almost her turn. Mai heart leapt into her throat as she was about to be sold, even worse was that she was going to be wonton towards whoever bought her until they did something about her condition.
