The island was interesting, on the flight back I was thinking back on the car ride while also looking over our constitution. Most of our island were houses, and we only got to the main part as we weren't able to be gone long and to drive all the way across would take at least eight hours, but he showed me how, even as a decent size island, they're going to be three different provinces, we have the capital, where our home is located, with the country 'government building' when it'll just be two men from each province, the governor and their second in command, Master would be the king, while Jorge will be his second in command, each province can elect a governor to represent them in meetings, and even with the king the central province could still have a different governor if they wished, but the king would always be passed down from father to son and the firstborn, which is always to be a male. There was a slave house, where slaves will be bought and traded, each slave will be enslaved, and trained by a select few of men who Master trusts to train the slaves for auction, and only a male who has lived on the island for a year and had given up their citizenship from their original country may purchase a slave, Master didn't want to risk the slaves being freed since they no longer have citizenship in their originating country. But there were also stores, cafes as well. There were jobs for the men, but we didn't need currency, the men when they come will trade their money with their originating country for our currency, to use to buy slaves, but we won't need money for anything else, we ran completely by the island, the food seems to grow here, there were solar panels everywhere, as well as the houses, the gas would be flown in by a willing neighbour who when they need would take slaves as payment to help them with what they wish. Slaves were to be our way to trade with the outside world, one slave could bring us a lot of things we may need from other countries. They could be used for anything from bearing babies to manual labour, one slave could bring us a few thousand litres of gas, which as far as I know will be the only thing we need to import. Master already gave them Helena for 50000 litres of gas, which we hope will last us for a few months. There were many houses for men to move into, and we had some shacks for free females to live in until they are enslaved, it wasn't to be long term, but it was possible that a male could free a female and she'd be given a piece of paper she will have to carry whenever she is out to show she is free, but the second she forgets it she can be enslaved again, but we suspect once the females are used to being enslaved they won't wish to be free and are all permitted to return to the slaves' house where they can be reauctioned.
Slavery was going to be a well-known thing, that females entering must know there is a chance they will be enslaved, even if they are just visiting, they will be looked at as slaves because here that's all a female is. That unowned females will not have a collar on, that they are free to capture, but the slaves that we'll be training will be wearing cuffs on their wrists. That we were going to follow the natural order, that even free females must respect the men, slaves weren't permitted to travel off the island without their Masters' written permission, signed and dated, and if we aren't back by the end of the trip we will be punished because all slaves will be bugged. And since we are our own country our laws cannot be punished in another country, but slaves must be respectful of other countries' rights if they travel there, but it doesn't mean that they will not have to obey their Master in that country. Slaves are not permitted to wield any weapon without their Masters' permission.
"How are you liking it so far, slave?" Master asked.
"It's good, but is it possible to put in that if a slave gives birth that if her daughter is enslaved that they are able to see her and that slaves have to be an adult. It's unfair to expect a child to be a slave, they should have a childhood where their mothers can show them the way while also being carefree. I know I'd like to see our daughter and for her to be a child while she is one. She shouldn't have to worry about taking care of a man as a child, she should be a kid," I said.
"I think I can expect everyone to leave children be," Master said.
"No I don't know if you should Master, please just put it in, just to be safe, Master please it's just for safety reasons, what if someone takes our daughter when she is nine, or twelve, it's too young and then legally we won't have a right over her. At least have it that the father has all rights over their child until they turn eighteen" I said.
"Are you trying to tell me what to do slave?" Master asked.
"Please Master, there are some sick people out there," I said.
"Answer the question slave," Master said, I looked down.
"I'm just trying to protect our kids, Master," I whispered.
"Is that a yes slave?" Master snapped.
"I'm sorry Master," I said, when I felt his fingers dig into my arm.
"I decide what gets put in the constitution, slave, not you" Master growled, and I felt the tears fall down my face. "You do not tell me what to do, you are not equal, I tell you what to do slave, I am in charge" Master snapped.
"I'm sorry Master, please you're hurting me" I whimpered.
"I will hurt you if I wish to slave" Master growled.
"I'm sorry Master, I'm sorry I'm just a slave I shouldn't have told you to do anything I'm sorry please Master please forgive me, I'm so sorry Master if you trust everyone then I'll trust you, you're my Master, and I'm just a slave," I said.
"You should feel bad because you were," Master said.
"I do Master I feel horrible, I'm sorry and I understand if you decide not to forgive me, I shouldn't be forgiven, I just hope one day you do. I hate when you're mad at me Master, it's the worst thing at least the physical punishments the pain lasts only a little while, while this hurt won't go until you do forgive me, but I truly am sorry Master and I do beg for forgiveness" I said.
"I'm not mad slave, I'm furious, I'm angry. You have no right to demand anything from me, yet not only did you try to demand one thing but two" Master said.
I bit my lip and looked down as tears fell down my face "I'm sorry Master, I never should've demanded anything, it's my fault I should've known better than to do that. You have every right to be furious, if I was you I'd be contemplating if I would be worth keeping as a slave" I whispered.
"I think I have the perfect punishment for you slave," Master said, and my blood ran cold I was terrified because Master was so calm, and he was only calm when he is angry and doesn't know how to show it, his punishments for these are the worst. "You will not touch our son, Langley will raise him, there will be no bond between you two," Master said, and I started crying.
"Please Master anything else, I don't care what just please Master please allow me to care for our son Master please" I pleaded, I looked up at him for the first time since I tried demanding him to change his constitution. "Master please don't take him from me, please I'm sorry Master, I don't care if you never forgive me, I don't care if I'm freed, just please I beg you Master please don't take him from me, I can't lose him to Master" I cried out as I caressed my bump, I didn't want to lose little Master as well, not when I lost four already.
"Langley will raise him, slave, that is final," Master said, I felt as if he ripped my heart out, I clenched my jaw and bit my tongue to stop a retort that I may or may not regret coming out.
"Yes Master" I whispered. I went to the bathroom and put a sleeping pill under my tongue while swallowing three of them. When the plane landed, the contractions were starting to become more regular, I could start to expect them and they were certainly stronger. I put the dress back on and we headed to the hospital so that I could give birth. "Can I ask something, Master?" I asked.
"What slave?" Master snapped.
"Will it be forever?" I asked.
"I haven't decided slave" Master said.
"Just take care of him for me Master, promise me you'll take care of him no matter what," I said, looking over at him as he drove.
"I promise slave, but you'll be around," Master said, and I cried even harder.
"I love you, Master, I always will no matter what. Just protect him, tell him I love him, tell him I'm sorry, tell him I wish I could see the man he becomes" I said.
"Of course you will slave," Master said, I didn't say anything, just laid my head on the window, but I watched Master. "Won't you?" Master asked, glancing over at me.
"I'm sorry" I whispered, giving him a soft smile.
"What did you do slave?" Master asked, I could hear the worry and fear in his voice. I bit down on the pill I had in my mouth, before swallowing it.
"Tell him I love him, Master, I love the both of you" I whispered, and I allowed my eyes to close as it was getting harder to keep them open.
"Don't leave me slave please, I need you" Master said. "Please slave, I forgive you just hold on, fight for us please don't leave me," Master said, I could hear the panic, hurt, and fear in his voice, but I was happy, even if he didn't forgive me I would be happy, I got to live an amazing life with my Master, and I hope it transfers on to my son.
