[QUOTE="Aholibamah, post: 3891753, member: 53031"] Kallyn and Dassah were both bound and marched naked out of the bathing chamber by the mysterious people who ran Porphyry House. Kallyn was struck by how cool the hands guiding her were. What kind of folk were these? She was struck by how the strange half-snake man never blinked, but stared with golden eyed menace constantly. His coils rasped quietly on the carpeted floor as they moved out. They were brought into the lower levels, into a more cavernous area where there were cages with straw in them. Three attractive nude women stared at them, cocking their heads oddly, almost like animals, though their eyes were bright, intelligent, and unsettling. The madam gestured and one of the guards opened one of the cages' locks and swung the door open. "Go inside and stand still." the madam ordered. Kallyn was not accustomed to taking orders from anyone she did not have allegiance to and clenched her teeth. "Who are you? Why have you done this to us?" she snapped back. The woman's hand swiftly came out and cracked across her face, hard. Kallyn felt her head snap to the left, she tasted blood. However it was hardly pain to debilitate her and she turned, glaring at the woman. "You will call me 'Mistress', slave. Do you understand?" the woman hissed. Kallyn found her voice at that moment most unsettling...it chilled her blood somehow. The woman was staring at her, and Kallyn felt a sense of dread of disappointing her, a shivering in her body. If only she would not look at her so! She wanted to cringe, feeling her nakedness intensely, the vulnerability of her body so shameful...but no, no, NO, she had to resist this feeling, it was shock or something. She straightened in spite of how she felt and looked at the woman with a direct challenging gaze. The madam's face showed a flicker of disappointment. "I am no slave." Kallyn said. "Perhaps you think not." the woman said quietly. "However, will you be so proud when we start lashing the pretty skin of your lover?" Dassah trembled as the woman drew a cool caressing hand down her bare back to her bottom. "Well?" the madam said. Kallyn was struck by how oddly serene her face was--where a human person might have lifted an eyebrow, narrowed eyes, [I]something[/I], this woman just stared, smiling slightly. Kallyn felt a struggle. Part of her said that if they were captives and held as slaves their captors could do as they damned well pleased. The other part said that she had no idea what would happen and to provoke them at this stage was folly. She took a deep breath. "I understand you Mistress." the word did not come out easily but it came. "Better." They were not merely put in the cages but placed on their backs and put in a form of stocks that forced them to lie helplessly, barely able to more than wriggle their fingers and toes. Kallyn felt tears of rage and humiliation. Dassah wept softly. It was agony not to be able to comfort her with anything other than words.
