I have found a new home, and the Mistress seems far kinder to me then my Master ever was. New clothing, a cloak, a belt and a necklace, she seems kind, though I still wait for the other foot to drop, for the beatings to start once more. Hara seems more like my old Master, quick to beat into me verbally if I am not perfect, or say something she doesn't like even when its truth. Though she thinks I am an idiot for accepting my station in life. As though I could run away and survive out there. I was barely managing three days let alone a lifetime. What would she understand, she was born free, I was born in chains. She has already gone out of her way to inflict extra pain on me in her anger, so her I do not trust, I could see her waiting till the Mistress and Keerla weren't looking and beating into me simply because she can. I will take it though, I always do.
Keerla seems...decent? If a bit distant and cold, though most overseers are. They don't get close to slaves so they can administer harsher punishments without emotional conflict. I don't mind, I am used to being alone and without anyone else. I have been alone since the day I was born, it makes little to no difference now. The only good thing in this, is the Mistress is of my faith, so I will be allowed to practice my faith which does bring me some relief. Already I have learned that unless Mistress bids it, or I am asked something specific, I should avoid speaking when Hara is around, or she will attack me verbally or find a way to punish me physically later. The brand still hurts.
She talks a lot about running away, how I am a fool for submitting myself. I fear mistress will soon have a new issue with that slave. Hara has much to learn about being a slave. She is not a free woman anymore, she is property, as much as cattle. She has no rights, no free will, she has what the Mistress deems to give her and nothing else. The sooner she learns this the better she will be. For now though, she is only a viper waiting to strike, and I worry the damage and pain she will cause the Mistress...
