Slave

Chapter 5

Abby's POV;
After being untied from the pole, I was brought back into the pack house. Although I was given a proper room, it was quite small, with just a bed and a lamp in the corner. I was still grateful though. I had my own bed.
I was visited once a day by the packs healer, she gave me a piece of stale bread and a glass of water. She would also try to mend my back. I had no bathroom, only a bucket in the corner, which was empty every day.
It's been almost 3 weeks and my back is only merely healed. It's late in the afternoon and the pack healer has still not arrived. My stomach growls in hunger.
Everyday I search the room, continually looking for a way out. But again no luck. The only source of light, being the lamp in the corner, it dims from it being on all day for 3 weeks. I watch as the last bit of energy is sucked away and the room is filled with darkness.
I shiver, I can stand this small room but not the darkness. I hear footsteps of who I presume is the pack healer running terribly late. But when the door cracks open and the light pours in. Alpha Cade stands there.
I look down at my feet, afraid of what might happen. He steps inside the door and walks towards me. I didn't move.
He reaches out and grabs onto my arm. Im shocked when I can't feel anything. No sparks nothing.
I look up to him with my mouth agap and back down to his hands. Gloves! He's wearing freaking gloves?!
I must repulse him that much, he won't even touch me.
"Come" he drags me outside of the room. It takes my eyes a while to re-adjust to the natural light.
I am pulled by Cade to a bathroom. He pushes me in.
"Shower now, you're revolting." He said. I coughed as he started to pull the door close, "not my fault you locked me up" I mumbled.
He stops closing the door and stares at me with anger. "When will you learn, to shut that mouth slave!"
He raises his hand to strike me. I look at him with fear. He freezes his hand mid-air and looks deep into my eyes. I let out a sound of relief.
Next thing I know I'm on the ground, a pain shooting through my neck and my hand covering my now red cheek.
I whimpered. He hit me.
"Learn your place" He said slamming the door shut.
I checked the door to see if it was locked, but it wasn't. I'm not going to risk that again.
A grabbed the only towel in the bathroom and wet it. I washed myself down with the wet towel until my skin was clean.
After cleansing myself of dried blood, sweat, dirt, I was still feeling gross and dirty. But I was Definitly not getting undressed with the door unlocked.
I hung up the wet towel and then walked out of the bathroom.
Cade was leaning against the wall to my right and turned his head towards me when the door opened.
I looked down again. "No shower?" He questioned. "I washed myself down with a towel" I whispered.
"Fine, But you don't get another chance to shower until I declare that you can" He spat, obviously annoyed with me not showering.
I nodded.
He grabbed my arm and dragged me again but this time outside. He kept tugging me along until we reached the training grounds. I was starting to stumble still hungry from not being fed at all today.
The Pack warriors were in training. Sending punches and kicks at their opponent. The sun was slowly starting to go down. The rays of light, flooding onto the field. Vibrant colours decorating the trees.
I stood next to Cade, waiting for instructions. The warriors finished their training, leaving rubbish , water bottles and equipment laying around.
"Clean this up" He said. Really? That's what he wants me to do. Geez okay, that's easier than what I expected. I didn't complain and headed onto the field cleaning it up.
I thought it would be a perfect time for another escape, but I knew better. I have to wait for when they're least expecting it and when the alpha isnt standing 50m away from me watching.
After picking up and packing up the warriors mess, the sun was fully down. The darkness now spread through the field and trees.
I walked over to Cade.
"I will take you to the kitchen now and you will help serve dinner"
Once arriving at the kitchen, many people were scurrying around, the scent of food sent me into over drive. I was so hungry. But I knew not to take any food yet, I might take a piece of spare bread at the end.
I was handed plates of food to serve to the pack. I walked into the dining room, where about 100 people sat around a ginormous table. It was very loud, some people arguing and others taking and laughing. I was told to give the first plate to Cade and then work my way down. I walked slowly towards him, once I arrived to his left. "Excuse me" I whispered as I leant over him and placed his plate down. He sat back in his seat to give me room to sit it down. Seated next to him, was zack. I placed his plate down too. I turned around to head back into the kitchen. But zack reached out and slapped me on the butt.
I look back at him, " we still have some stuff to do" he grinned.
I shuddered, truly scared of what he's going to do to me. I walked away and continued to place plates onto the right places.
I got a few slaps on my butt and a couple growls and grunts from others.
I went back into the kitchen looking for something to sneak to eat. A small piece of warm bread sat on an empty plate.
I grabbed it quickly and starting to scoff it down.
I did t realise anyone else was in the kitchen, until a hand wrapped around my waist. I let out a little squeak and spun around.
Zack.
