Flashback
"I don't want to leave from my home" I pleaded to the soldiers but it didn't have any effect on them. "How they can be so cruel and careless" I thought. They dragged me out from my own home. The only place I could feel safe anymore. I had already lost so much. Now I was going to lose my freedom and home too. It was like I didn't matter anymore. My mom screamed for help but nobody came.
I didn't understand much the soldiers were talking. They speaked latin so it meant that they were from Italy propably Rome. I had heard a lot from Rome. I had heard a lot of stories its vigorous soldiers, art and great leaders like Julius Ceasar and Pompey.
I was put in a horse carriage with two other girls. There was a lot of jewels from my dear country. That made me mad. I couldn't understand the greed of human race.
It was getting dark and I admired the beautiness of firmament. I loved the little light balls that brighten up the hole sky. There were so many of those light balls. One time I tried to cound them but it turned out to be impossible task.
Soldiers build tents where they were suppose to sleep. I was wondering if I was going to sleep under these light balls. It was beautiful but so cold. Then some tall and muscled soldier came and took my hand and led me to one of the tents. I believed that I was going to be alone. I hoped that I would be left alone.
"What's your name girl" the soldier asked. I was silent. I wasn't sure should I answer or not. He repeated the guestion so I answered "Cristina". I observed as he stripped of his clothes. He was fully naked in front of me. I had seen naked men before but they all were Asians. They had a really different body build from Romans- much smaller in every angle.
"Take off your clothes" the soldier said. I was dumbfounded. I didn't understand at first why but then the look in his eyes darkened from lust. I started to shake involuntarily. The soldier came slowly closer to me and dragged the dress of me. I felt humiliated to be so exposed in front of a stranger and I was scared about his intentions. He licked all the way my body and it sent a shiver through my body. Tears started to build up in me. I missed my home already.
He turned me over and put me down. He grabbed my hair and my face was against the grass so I didn't see anything. He spread my legs with his knees. I felt so helpless. Then I suddenly felt a sharp pain between my thighs and I screamed. The pain only increased and I screamed more. He just continued to pound in me harder and faster. I pleaded him to stop but it only encouraged him more.
After that he fell asleep fast. It was when I allowed myself to cry. I have never felt so humiliated and worthless in my life. The pain was so real. I noticed the blood spreading down my thighs and I tried to wipe it away with my dress. I hoped that I didn't have to wear that anymore.
The journey to Rome was long and tiring. First time in my life I haven't eaten that much. Soldiers started to feed me. They said that I needed to get more flesh on my bones. They said that slaves had to look well.
First time I saw Rome I saw its decorative. Rome was luxurious compared to Asia but I didn't feel home at all.
End of the flashback
Cristina had been in Rome for a year now. She was working for the Julii family. It was one of the most wealthiest families in Rome.
In their glorious home there was living Atia of the Julii. She was the head of the family everytime when Caesar was gone. Caesar was Atia's uncle and that made her honored. Atia has two kids. Boy named Gaius Octavian who was Caesar's entrusted. He was propably going to be his heir. Other child was a girl named Octavia of the Julii who didn't get along with her mother that well.
Cristina was still friends with Octavia. She seemed to be only one who treated her like human there.
Mark Antony visited a lot of their mansion. He was a tribute in Rome's senate. He was elected by Caesar's influence. He was close to him. He was known from his arrogance and scheming personality. He had shaky relationship with Atia. It was more meaninful to Atia than Mark. It become clear to Cristina by the mount of invitations to Mark's bedroom.
It had became very familiar to Cristina. She often had to entertain important people and soldiers. She sometimes had nightmares about it and she would wake up screaming but she tried to ignore that.
"Where are we going" Cristina asked Octavia. Now that she had been in Rome for a year she had learned more latin.
"You have been scrubbing that floor long enough. We're going to have some fun." Octavia said smirk in her face. Cristina had no idea where they were going.
"We have to be careful. We are in deep trouble if we get caught" Octavia said quietly. Cristina got curios.
They were on the other side of town and they were in front of a dark door. Octavia knocked three times and there was a man who let them in. Octavia had interesting smile on her face and I had no idea what was going on until we walked into this dim illuminated room.
The room was coated with blood red fabric. It was very beautiful and it got your blood pressure rise instantly. There was lot of scantily dressed people. Octavia brought Cristina to orgy. Cristina had heard about events like this before but never imagined that she would attend in something like this.
"This is why I gave you this dress" Octavia whispered to Cristina. Cristina looked at her dress. It was purple very fitting dress which had sparkling decorations. Octavia had put her make-up and Cristina had trusted her. She went to look at herself from the mirror and she had feline eyeliner and soft orange lipstick. Cristina had to admit that she looked delicious.
"I can't believe you brought me here" Cristina said.
"Perks of being rich" Octavia answered.
Octavia's friend Rubria called them to her in the soft king-size pillow. She was smoking something from the pipe. Cristina was curious to know what it was.
"Hey Octavia, Cristina" Rubria said. It was clear from her speech that she had been smoking something stronger.
She offered them some. Octavia sucked the pipe greedily. Then Octavia passed the pipe to Cristina. First Cristina looked little suspicious. "Cristina it's okay. It's just weed" Rubria said.
Cristina smoked the weed and she felt her hole body immediately relax. The room started to spin around her and she got this feeling of euphoria.
She observed a woman in her underwear who was waving her hips seductively. Cristina found it fascinating. She also looked around other people busy in their lovemaking. The place was so open-minded. This was a place that you could feel free. Cristina barely remembered what it felt like to be free.
Three of them were busy observing their surroundings and get used to the effect of weed until they heard loud yelling "CAESAR IS DEAD". Everybody were stunned.
They all saw a man who was panicking and shocked and he repeated his words "Caesar is dead".
AN: I hope you enjoyed! I know it was little brutal especially in the beginning but I wanted to picture what it was like in that time. The hole story won't be that brutal. Please leave a review. I love reading them and this chapter was hard to write so I would really appreciate feedback :) If you haven't watched Rome series that much please mention it in your review so I will describe characters and events more specifically in the future chapters. Next chapter is dedicated to Lucius Vorenus.
