"And for a moment, I had thought I would feel safer with the female inmates. How wrong was I?" Emma groaned as she walked back, holding her side which hurt badly, to where she had sadly accepted as a home.
"At least, the male inmates are only ogling me, none of them has attempted to kill me over a misunderstanding." Emma expressed shock as she relived what she had gone through in the hands of the female inmates.
"You fucking yelled at me, bitch? How dare you?" The short woman had slapped Emma again for the third time.
"You are mocking me because of my scar right? You think you are better than me because you are still fresh and your skin is still smooth? Give it some years, bitch and you would see what would become of your skin! You will have wrinkles all over!" She yelled at Emma and slapped her for the fourth time.
"What is she rambling about now, for fuck sake?" Emma groaned as tears spilled from her eyes.
"Tigress, calm down!" Another fierce looking woman called out to the short woman.
"How can I calm down when I just got humiliated? The bitch needs to learn her lesson!" Tigress snapped at her colleague.
"So, where did you come from to lack common sense like this?" Tigress asked Emma and her brain remembered that was what Daniel had also said to her earlier.
"I am sorry. But I swear, I wasn't mocking you." Emma swallowed her pride and quickly apologized.
"Tigress, that is enough!" A beautiful woman who also looked fierce because of her built, ordered and Tigress stopped. "Ouch!" Emma flinched as she touched her burning cheek but heaved a sigh of relief that Tigress had stopped hiting her.
"Hey, you! Come here!" The beautiful woman said to Emma.
"Lioness is calling you, you are being sluggish! Will you run along right now or I should show you how to?" Another scary woman sitting close to where Emma was standing, asked her.
"I can run!" Emma said and trotted to where Lioness was seated.
"She is the boss, here!" Emma observed as she saw that two frightened ladies were standing behind Lioness and had air blown on her using hand fans.
"Yeah ..." Lioness gestured at her with her face, as if waiting for her to do something.
"Wh ...what?" Emma inquired as she was confused to what she wanted her to do.
"K-n-e-e-l-llll." One of the women fanning Lioness mouthed to Emma but she didn't understand.
"You don't stand when you are in the presence of the great lioness! Get on your knees, bitch!" The scary woman said and slapped her other cheek.
"Uhn... fuck!" Emma groaned and was forced onto her knees.
"What is your name, dollface?" Lioness asked and winked at her. Emma was taken aback.
"Why are everybody just strange here?" Emma wondered.
"My name is Emma." She replied the Lioness.
"Uh uh! I prefer dollface, though. That suits you better." Lioness stated.
"As it pleases you, ma'am'?"Emma agreed to humor them by showing submission as long as that would keep her out of trouble.
"I am not a ma'am! I am the king here so you address me as your royal majesty, do you understand?" Lioness inquired.
"Yes, your royal majesty." Emma quickly replied to avoid more trouble and Lioness smirked at her.
"She is going to be an obedient girl. Treat her well, alright!" Lioness instructed her third in command in person of the scary woman known as Big wolf.
"Yes, your majesty." Big wolf replied.
"You ladies should get to work, I don't want any guard coming to disturb my rest. I want to go and relax." Lioness announced and stood up.
"You, come with me!" Lioness pointed at one of the girls who was fanning her. She smirked and walked off, like a bouncer, with the girl trotting behind her. Lioness' gait betrayed her beautiful appearance.
"I wonder what she wants to make her do that makes the poor girl so frightened!" Emma wondered as she saw the girl trembled when she got chosen by Lioness.
"Okay, ladies! Let us get to work." Big wolf said and started dishing out tasks to the ladies around.
Some minutes later, all the ladies had their heads buried into work, while the two scary women stayed at alert for supervision.
"Hi Emma!" A girl greeted her with a small smile.
"Oh, you! Thank you for trying to help me earlier." Emma appreciated as she recognized the girl.
"Don't mention it. I am Darla." The girl introduced herself.
"Nice meeting you, Darla." Emma was glad she finally found someone who seemed sane.
"You should stay clear off Tigress' path. She has a mild mental disorder which is usually triggered by beautiful faces." Darla informed her.
"What does that mean?" Emma furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"She becomes mad whenever she sees someone with a beautiful face and would freak out, claiming they are mocking her if they should utter any word. Even if it is mere greetings!" Darla explained to a very shocked Emma.
"She won't stop until she ruins your beauty. She gave me this mark." Darla said and showed Emma the ugly scar on her forehead which she kept hidden with her cap.
"Oh my God! She is really sick." Emma exclaimed.
"Dollface, really?" Emma heard Tigress' voice behind her and panicked. She almost had a whiplash as she turned to face Tigress, fearfully, then she fell down.
"Ouch!" Emma groaned in pain.
"Let us continue from where we stopped!" Tigress stated and started kicking Emma with her legs, viciously.
"Arghhh!" Emma winced in pain as she remembered what she had gone through.
"I don't ever want to go back there!" Emma shuddered. Coincidentally, the guard who had led her there, passed by.
"Oh, you are back! It is good you remember your way, that is where you are going to work throughout this week!"
