Slave

Chapter Twelve
Cassandra’s rude awakening

Cassandra shot up and lunged from her bed, it was the fourth time this week she was rudely awoken with the urge to puke her guts out. It had been about a week and a half since Seth told her she was free, and about three months since the horrible mess started. She had been exploring a different room in the house every day. Cassandra laid her head on the side of the toilet bowl and sighed. She had no idea why she was having this urge lately.

“Maybe I caught a cold or something.” She told herself as she stood up and turned on the water to the shower.

Her body ached all over and she couldn’t explain that either, she never did anything but always woke up with her muscles in knots. Seth sat at the table waiting for Cassandra to come down and join him for breakfast. Shortly after her shower Cassandra descended the stairs and walked over to the table.

“Morning” Seth said handing her a plate.

Cassandra took it smiling, her stomach flipped and she felt queasy again, her smile faded and she pushed her plate away.

“I think I might have caught a cold, can you take me to the doctor or have one come here?” she asked lightly.

Seth nodded, “I was going to ask if you wanted to join me in town this afternoon anyways.”

Cassandra smiled and sat down and stared at her food. She felt her stomach lurch and she bolted from the table towards the bathroom. For the second time that morning she was worshiping the porcelain god. Seth followed her and knocked on the door.

“Are you alright Cassandra?” he asked as he heard her retch again.

“I’ll be fine,” came her weak voice. “I just feel nauseous.”

Seth opened the door and scooped Cassandra off of the floor. “Come on; let’s get you to the doctor.”

Seth carried her towards the car and set her in the back seat. Seth slid in beside her and told the driver to take them to town. Cassandra smiled weakly.

“I’ll do my best to be a good slave in town.” She said as she laid her head on his shoulder.

Seth sighed, “Don’t worry about that today Cassandra; we won’t be near anyone who will care.”

Having said that he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to him. She closed her eyes and smiled lightly; she felt comfortable and began to doze lightly. Seth looked down and smiled, he may own her body but she owned his heart. As the car stopped Cassandra had just begun to stir. She sat up and attempted to look obedient. The diver opened the door and Seth slid out of the car taking Cassandra’s hand and helping her out. Seth told the driver to just hang around as he didn’t know how long it would take. Seth guided Cassandra to the doctor’s office and set up an appointment for her. They sat down and waited. When the nurse came out she told Seth he wasn’t allowed back, only Cassandra could go back and he nodded and sat back down. After about and hour the doctor walked out and asked Seth to come back. The doctor led him past the room in which a nurse was taking some of Cassandra’s blood and talking to her. The doctor opened a door and ushered Seth into his office.

“Please sit down.” The doctor said gesturing toward a chair.

Seth smiled and nodded, sitting down.

“So how bad of a cold does she have?” Seth asked the doctor.

“Well…how long has she been a slave in your home?” Seth’s face fell, “Well about two months, why?” he asked getting antsy.

“Well you see Miss Cassandra is approximately eight weeks pregnant.” The doctor said mater of factly.

“We are drawing blood so we can determine exactly how pregnant and run a few tests. I’m setting up another appointment for her to come back so we can proceed with the abortion.”

Seth stood up as he heard what the doctor said.

“NO!” Seth bellowed he knew that the child was his; it had been about eight weeks since he had broken into the training facilities and raped Cassandra. “You will not.” Seth said now pacing around the room.

“But sir, a pregnant slave is of no use and once she has a child you know they will take it and she can never be sold again.” The doctor said bringing his world crashing down.

“Well let me talk to her, don’t give her anything or do anything to her or that child.” Seth said as he walked toward the door.

The doctor nodded and told him to go back to the waiting room and allow them to finish up with Cassandra. Seth nodded and walked back down the hall, past Cassandra’s room. When she saw him she stood up and began to walk toward him. He shook his head as he saw her move and she sat back down. At that same time a nurse and the doctor walked in. Seth sat back down in the waiting room and a few minutes later Cassandra emerged.

“They said that they had to run a few tests to determine what’s wrong.” She said softly.

‘She’s so clueless.’ Seth thought. He nodded and took her hand leading her from the doctor’s office.

“Let’s finish up here in town and then I’ll take you home, you need some sleep.” Cassandra nodded and followed him.

They went into different stores for about an hour before Seth stopped and had Cassandra sit down so they could eat. Once they were alone Cassandra looked at him and she could no longer hold her tongue.

“Why were you backing in the exam rooms? They told me masters aren’t allowed back while there are slaves being examined.” Seth just looked at her.

“There was something the doctor needed to tell me, I’m supposed to take you back in a few weeks but I don’t think I will, unless you want me to.”

Cassandra laughed lightly, “Why wouldn’t I want to go back? I need to know why I’ve been so sick lately.”

Seth looked at her and shook his head. “Cassie what would you say if I told you that your carrying my child and they want to make you abort it?”

Cassandra’s face fell, “That’s not a funny joke Seth.” She wanted to slap him and scream.

“It’s not a joke Cassandra. That’s why I was back in the examination area. The doctor says you’re pregnant and they want to continue with an abortion.”

Seth looked at her and could read the pain clearly displayed on her face.

“Please tell me you don’t want them to.” Cassandra looked at him and just stared blankly.

She didn’t know what to think. She was scared and her hands automatically went to cover her stomach.

“Why would they want to abort my baby?” she asked afraid of the answer.

“Because as a slave once you have a child you can no longer be sold and the child will be taken away from you and trained as a slave from childhood.”

Cassandra’s face fell and tears slid down her cheeks. “So even if I don’t let them abort I still loose my baby?”

Seth nodded and Cassandra whipped her eyes, “Suddenly I don’t feel so hungry.”

She stood up and stated to walk away.

“Cassie, wait!” Seth called following her. “Look I have one more store to go into why don’t you head to the car and I’ll meet you there shortly?” she nodded and made her way lost in thought towards the car.
