Tyann kept hugging Emmeline. Tears were dripping from her eyes as the enormity of her situation began to sink in. Yes, she was being kept here forever. She would grow old here, still cooking the meals for the other prisoners. Her life was over, and a new, bleak life was beginning for her. The death penalty would probably have been kinder, but his orders were to hide her away.
His voice was softer now. "Emmeline is dead. Mourn her, and then your life as a kitchen slave will begin. But Emmeline the noble lady is as dead as if she had been hanged. Now this is all that remains."
He loosened his hug and gently pushed her down onto the bed. "Now sleep, and wait for the healer. I will have your slave dress delivered here later today. Put it on, and say farewell to your former life."
He stood up and looked at her, now lying on her back, her upper body uncovered. The thought of having her forever did excite him, but he was not about to take advantage of that right now.
With a final pat on the belly, he left and went to make arrangements for the healer to see her, and for another slave to sew her one of the rough dresses of linen that were the uniform for slaves here. He wondered what she would be like as a slave - some got used to it immediately, but most took some time and punishment to adjust. And some got downright rebellious. It even took the torture chamber to break some of them.
The healer arrived, and he led the old woman to the right cell door, then positioned himself outside, curiously waiting for any sounds from inside. Old Mara was good, but she was not gentle. When she worked on torture victims, the screams sometimes sounded like they were down in the torture chamber again. But, to her credit, they recovered very quickly, and that was what mattered to him.

Thom smiled. Finally, she was revealing the woman under the slave. Even her tears made him happy, in an odd way - she did have feelings! There was a girl here, hidden behind obedient smiles and happy compliance. She could feel pain and sadness, after all. She had just been taught to accept it as her natural fate. That was at once terrible and probably the only thing that kept her sane... or at least stable.
As much as he wanted to stay with her, he had his duty to do. It was not like she was going anywhere, was she? She would be there the next day, too. And all the days to come, for ten long years.
"You are done here for today. Go to the slave quarters, and sleep well."
He opened the torture chamber and escorted her up the many steps to the first floor. As they walked, he was lost in thought. About Emmeline. About LaVonda. Two beautiful women who could not have been more different. Emmeline had been broken by this place, while LaVonda was so broken already that she was actually happy here.
In the slave quarters, Thom was all business again, careful not to let his feelings slip in front of the slaves. He curtly gestured for her to sit on her place on the straw, then lifted her dress and fitted the shackle around her pale, slender ankle. He locked it and snuck a hidden goodnight kiss on the cheek, hopefully without the other slaves noticing.
He then proceeded to chain up the other slaves in the same manner and opened the door for the kitchen people with their large kettle of slop which they now ladled out into wooden bowls which they handed to the chained captives. As the sounds of greedy eating filled the room, he cast one last glance over his shoulder at LaVonda and shut the door behind him.
His own place was one level hgher, in the guard dormitory. Here, too, dinner was being served, though it was, thankfully, a little better than what they had just served the slaves.
