Chapter 3
"Cindy, wake up!"
"What's going on?" asked a confused Cindy.
"You're in the hospital sweetie. Can't you remember anything?"
"Who are you?" asked Cindy.
"Cindy it's me, your mother. You must be suffering amnesia after you fall."
"Fall?"
"You were riding your horse to go collect water for the men and your horse kicked you off, but it wasn't her fault. She was spooked by a cobra; still Kmarka insisted she be put down. What a shame, it so sad." said Cindy's Mother. "Later, when you are better, you will meet your future husband, Azulabamarka. He is a very good man, not very handsome, but he does own a stand and stable of camels, rest for now sweetie."
(In Cindy's dream, she drives a viper and shops at sakes. Three days later, Cindy is escorted out of her house. She is dressed in a long silk robe, her faced is kept covered, and she is told not to speak unless spoken to first. Wherever she is, it is hot and there is no resemblance to any home she remembers or does not remember.)
(Cindy is marched down the Isle a second time, to be united under the blistering sun, to a man she will soon learn to despise, in a country where woman will always be second-class citizens. Cindy spent her wedding night in tears, treated to a sadistic night of Azula's finest lovemaking fantasies and cruel games he found so very entertaining. Her only hope was that he would tire of her and marry another. It would turn out for her that would take quite a while. Her fair skin and blonde hair kept him enchanted. That and the fact that he knew her since high school, when she never gave him the time of day! In his past life, he was known only as Dexter. It took some planning, but he captured his butterfly and he was not about to let her fly out of his jar!
