Whispers Of Redemption

Chapter 4, Punished

" Hello there!" I called with a steady voice, she took more than a minute to turn her head to my side
"Hello!" She answered weakly. As I studied her face. She had dark spots under her eyes, her eyes were red as a tomato, her cheeks flapped, and her face seemed hopeless.
"Am! Can I talk to you if you don't mind" I asked politely she looked at me studying my face for a bit while
" Sure, welcome." I sat on her bed and realized her bed was wet, so I adjusted to the bedside table instead.
She noticed what I did, she slightly chuckled while lifting herself into a sitting position
" I'm sorry you had to sit here," she said leaning on the wall as her bed was on the wall
" No! it's okay" I smiled at her
She seemed not okay more likely she looked sick very sick
"Are you the new chick who arrived yesterday?" I didn't like how she referred to me as a chick
"Yeah! you can say that"
"What are you doing here you got no work?" I was quite not sure where to start
"Don't..... worry, first time at work, quite stressful, huh!" She stated as she coughed very hard.
"Are you okay you look sick?"
"Don't worry, Pamela, I am okay."  She knew my name already; how come?
"Why don't you go to the hospital then?" I asked her as she coughed yet again
"I haven't worked for weeks now no money on my side for treating me" she answered hopelessly
" That's how Amber treats you?" I was shocked by that woman who calls herself Madam. She looks decent despite her actions.
" Not just me, she treats everyone like trash.....I'm just waiting for my last day of living...I can't even go to the toilet." She sadly smiled, which only made my heart wrinkle and sad upon seeing her in this state. No wonder her bed was wet.
I looked at her for a while. She made me feel sad and guilty, not sure for what! I just felt she was like my sister since I never had one anyway. I felt the urge to help though I wasn't sure how. " I can try to help you I'll work and take you to the hospital" I stated
"They take all the money......besides...once you're in here, all doors are closed, not even a hosp door..." She barely spoke I was quiet again as she continued
" I've been here for four years. Never had I seen a girl successfully escape or even get out of this hell...Amber and Master BL make sure nobody leaves at all costs"
" Is Amber also a boss?" She coughed again for like a minute before answering
" She's been here for many years so she's like a second boss after BL.... plus she doesn't work.. anymore except for the master himself"
This girl was shivering. She was in such a bad state. I took the blanket to cover her up. It was also wet.
" Don't you have another blanket?" I asked her
"Huh!" she looked up at me as she didn't expect that question from me.
" Um! I have it in my locker no 09"
she pointed at the certain locker labeled 09, she gave me the keys under her pillow, and I went to her locker.
In the locker, I saw condoms, half-used birth control pills, syringes with some medicine bottles, and other strange medications filled the locker.
I scanned the locker for a little while and went for a clean blanket and a bedsheet.
I went back, held her up to the other convenient bed, flipped the drooped mattress to a dry side, changed her bedsheets, led her again, and covered her with a clean blanket. She was somehow relieved after I changed her I could see it.
" What's your name" I asked her
" Call... me... Ro..sa" she barely answered as she was coughing so badly.
I took the wet sheets, headed to the stinky toilet, and put them in one of the basins in there. I came back to her as we continued chatting, giving each other company.
Suddenly, a door flew wide open; there was Amber and Master BL at the doorway. BL looked furious like he could slaughter somebody in a moment.

I was chatting with Rosa when Amber who they call Master BL, barged in the room, looking all furious like crazy buffalos. We gazed in awe as BL roamed directly to us, followed by Amber at his back; we saw them clearly when they got closer to where we sat. Amber was now changed into white skin jeans with a red velvet bra top,  tied her curly hair in a mid ponytail, and her face full of makeup.
She looked down on us bitchily as her face frowned when she shifted her gaze to Rosa.
" Here are antibiotics for you clumsy rotting dog!" She throws a white packet to Rosa
Do they even know what she's suffering from?
" You fucking brat!" I was startled as BL pulled me up with such force that I bumped into his chest.
"Smack!!" A sudden hard slap landed on my left cheek that was once slapped by Amber inflicting a burning sensation on my skin.
"How dare you go against my orders; who the fuck d'you think you are. Smack!!" Another hard slap landed on my right cheek. This time, I fell onto Rosa, making her flinch in pain.
"Aargh! please forgive me!" I pleaded as my cheeks were burning like hell the warm tears flowing down my face only made my cheeks sting more in pain.
I got up not to hurt Rosa anymore, hanging my head low, my hands caressing my dear cheeks.
" You are under my control now; my order is your action and not otherwise, you hear me?!" he exclaimed in dismay.
I concessive shook my head as I was afraid to be bitten up black and blue by this angry doodlebug.
" Amber!...deal with her" he gritted his teeth as he spoke
" Worry out," Amber answered, sneering at me as she pulled out her belt from her jeans pants, and rolled it once around her hand, leaving its buckle freely swinging.
My heart jumped out of fear, wondering what this woman was planning to do.
A warm hand gently touched mine as I turned to look. It was Rosa. She looked really sad for me, which made her look even more saddest.
" I told you not to cross the line, didn't I?" she said in a stern and serious voice, slowly walking close to me. Every step she took closer felt like it was reaping my heart into tiny strips.
I took one step back and was stopped by Rosa's bed she still held my hand with all her left strength. Amber shoved me aside and Rosa had to let go of me.
"Please spare her!" Rosa pleaded to her which made Amber slightly annoyed
"Shut up pussy!" BL barked at her as he moved aside to make more space for Amber.
I just kept quiet, watching her steps as I am not used to begging or pleading for what exactly? not serving a man? Kinda ridiculous!
" You seem rude," she sneered even more as she raised her arm with the folded belt around her hand; when the hand went down, a smote heavy whip collided on my back to the left shoulder, the buckle which she left hanging smashed me really hard.
I winced in pain, trying my best not to cry out loud, which can make me seem more weak.
Another whip on my right and another one and yet again till I couldn't count anymore.
"Aaaaargh!Please forgive me! please spare me! please, I'll do anything you ask me to please!" I knelt on Amber's feet; I couldn't endure the intense pain I felt from the whipping. My whole body was suffering and aching from the whipping.
"We don't ask. We command you, punk!"BL snapped " That was our very loyal customer for years, and for the first time, he'd been hit by a b*tch like you because of his own money! Do y'know who the hell he is huh?!"
As I knelt on her feet, BL also came and started whipping me from the back. I got the beating of my life
"Please! Help me! Please!" I kept screaming as now I was lying down, they whipped me like a donkey. I was whipped till I couldn't see anything anymore; everything went blurry before darkness embarking my vision.
"Pamela!" I hardly heard Rosa weakly calling me.
"Ooh shut it! or you'll also get it." I heard Amber barking at her.
