Chapter 4
Penny was woken up by the sudden thunderous sound of the rain, her heavy-lidded eyes trying to focus on the bar like rods that appeared in front of her . She blinked once, twice pushing herself up from the ground where it was wet due to the rain that had come through the window of the stone walls .
Confused as to where she was, she lifted herself by placing her hand on the ground . There was no light in the room she was in but ahead of her, she noticed the light spilling down through the walls on the ground where the lantern must have been placed . Going to the railings of the rods . She searched for the door, a way out and when she found it she tried opening it but the iron gate to the room was closed . The last thing she could remember was heading back home to meet Mr Joseph on her way .
"Anyone out there? Hello!" Penny shouted for anyone to hear not knowing where she was and why she was locked in a room, "Hello! Anyon-"
"Stop screaming," came a voice behind her sounding annoyed with her presence . She hadn't expected to have a company with her in here . The room was smaller than what she had at her aunt and uncle's house, "Are you trying to put me in trouble?" her head snapped to look behind at a woman who emerged from the shadows .
The woman had fiery red hair which had been tied into a plaid similar to her . Only that Penny's hair was well-groomed which included the dress that she wore compared to this woman whose blonde hair was a mess with clothes that had turned the color of her clothes into dirty white . Except for her hair, the woman was average looking in appearance .
It didn't seem that there was anyone here at the moment and this woman could give her answers, "Miss, where am I? There must be some sort of misunderstanding," and just as she was completing her sentence the woman laughed, her shoulders shaking .
"Miss? Wonder how long it has been someone called me with such . . . status," the woman gauged the young girl who had been put into the cell . It had been a while since the woman had company, the last one had been a boy kept yapping until she had to wait for him to be moved to another level, "What's your name girl?"
"It's Penelope but many call me Penny," explained Penny to have the woman wave her hand . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
"I am Caitlin . Penny, this beautiful castle that you see here, you have come to be part of it . This is the slave establishment and you are in one of the cell rooms that is allowed to the slaves here . "
Penny frowned listening to this . It was impossible . How could she be in the slave establishment? Had she been kidnapped?
"Miss Caitlin, there has been confusion . You see I am not supposed to be here," by what she knew, slaves were usually sold for money as a trade . It was one of the easiest and quick means of money . Though it wouldn't make one rich, it did have the slave establishment running to receive decent money by the buyers .
The woman went to walk back into the darkness and now that Penny's eyes had adjusted to the darkness, she saw the woman lie down on the ground, "None of us are supposed to be here . At least not most of us but people can be deceiving . Going by your reaction, I can say that you don't know who sold you . "
"I do!" How could Penny forget that wretched man's face and name! She looked furious . The woman who had was lying down, looked at her . For a girl who had been thrown into the slave establishment, she looked in a better spirit than the rest of the ones who were brought into the place . Either the girl was a sheltered child who knew nothing that went on in here or she was trying to keep her spirits up, "It was this man named Mr . Joseph . He came to fetch the groceries from us because the market was closed due to the heavy rain . He was late and my uncle and aunt who are old went to look for him . "
"And let me guess . This uncle and aunt of yours didn't come back even after time passed but the man arrived," even in the dark and low light, one could make out the bored look Caitlin gave with a sigh, "Your case is not uncommon . Congratulations, for being sold by your relatives," her voice sounded unenthusiastic .
"They would never do that!" Penny was deeply offended that the woman would accuse the relatives who had given her roof after her mother had passed away, "It was Mr . Joseph or whoever it was who needs to be hanged for sending me here . "
How many girls and boys had cried with the same hope of wanting to get out of this place . It was usually the young ones who cried and wailed . Crying for the same people who had sold them off for the sake of some money . The place didn't affect the girl yet but it would soon before breaking the spirit that she had sent here . The woman was not going to waste her time on her in explaining what had happened and therefore decided to let the girl on her own until reality would come to hit her .
