Immortal Death: chapter 9
Two years later, Rei is 14 and Bakura is 18. It was customary for slave owners to release their slaves when they turned 18, if they wished. Master no longer wanted Bakura around, he said he was a bad influence on Rei, making her rebellious. But Master knew with Bakura gone, there would be no one to protect Rei from his beatings. Bakura was to leave the next day. That night they were free to do as they wished, so they went out to the nile and sat on a large rock, that hung over the great river. Over the years bakura had taught Rei everything he knew, from fighting to thieving.
" I'm going to miss you." Rei said sadly. " I know, but one day I will come for you and we can live freely together and become wealthy, well-known thieves. The entirety of Egypt will tremble in our wake." Bakura said proudly. " I'd like that." Rei smiled and hugged Bakura. " Be strong while I am gone, don't let Master push you around because of my absence." " Of course." she replied and the great solar disc slipped past the horizon and Ra began his journey through the underworld.
The next morning Rei awoke and Bakura was already gone, but on his old cot he left her something, one of his favorite daggers. She hid it away, it could be useful in the future. And so life began, Rei was Master's only slave now, which meant more chores and the chance of punishment increased. Just as Master had planned, with no Bakura around, no one would be able to protect her. Rei's health went downhill. She was borderline anorexic, but not of her own will and suffered from anemia. Her high check bones caused hollows on her face, her galabia still hid most of the bones showing through the skin as well as scars but you could tell her condition was poor. Her arms and legs resembled twigs. Finally, Master decided he had no use for such a weak slave, so he sold her to a friend of his. This man had multiple slaves and the saying goes " birds of a feather, flock together." This man, unknown to Rei, was crueler than she could imagine. She moved into the house and shared a cramped room with many other slaves. Her main task was cooking, but was not limited to that. The others paid her little notice, they were preoccupied with their own tasks. Rei found out the hard way, her new Master would beat slaves for fun, and was drunk often. One night master requested her presence in the kitchen. She entered cautiously, where was he? He leapt out at her, in her weakened state she had little energy to fight him. He bound her wrists together and secured her to a wooden pole in the kitchen for this specific purpose. He walked away for a moment, at least that is what she thought, her position obstructed her view of the entire kitchen. Then came the sound of a fire crackling, accompanied by Master's drunken laughter. A moment later she saw his shadow approaching, he was carrying a hot knife in his hand, and grinned wickedly. He tore of the sleeve of her tattered galabia and pressed the red-hot knife into the top her shoulder and dragged it slowly down to the top of her bicep region. Tears flowed down her face and spilled onto the floor as the blood tickled down her arm.
She couldn't bear the searing pain, she screamed which felt like sand in her throat because of dehydration. But he wasn't done yet, through the middle of the first cut, horizontally, he made a second cut. Fresh pain flew like a shock wave through her body. Master doused her bleeding arm in cold water, she shook with the pain, the cuts throbbing. Master walked away for a moment, then returned, Rei sighed. He had a bowl in hand, but what was in it? Salt! He packed the wound with it, set the bowl down, and walked away, he didn't come back this time.
