The Life of Anna, Part 1: Enslaved Read Free Page B

continue to dance. Those classes are to keep you...shall we say, healthy? But you will be too busy for more than that. There are other skills that are more important for you than dancing.”
    “Yes, Master.” She stared at the floor.
    “You will not leave the house without my permission. Your life will revolve around Devin and myself. If, on the rare occasion you are out of the house and you see someone you know, you will ignore them. You will not speak to them or look at them. If they approach you, you will turn and walk away.”
    “Yes, Master.”
    What was left of the normal part of Anna’s life had just turned upside down. She didn’t know what to think, what to feel. She didn’t know what “lessons” Jack was talking about, but she had a feeling she wouldn’t like them. She’d not seen the lessons that Tabitha and Zoe had taken, but she had heard many of them. She’d seen them bruised and hurting. She’d watched Jack yell and scream at them for the smallest thing.
    Anna had gone to Devin after she ’d lived with Jack for a few weeks, upset over the abuse Jack was inflicting on the girls, but Devin had said that the girls were being trained for something special and that they’d be okay. Somehow, he had made Anna believe what Jack was doing was okay... at least at the time. Anna had learned to ignore it as much as possible because it hurt her heart to see it.
    Men came to Jack ’s place frequently to utilize the services of Tabitha and Zoe. Jack had Anna stay in his bedroom on those nights watching TV with the volume up high, though she could still hear sounds that frightened her. When he saw that she was upset, Jack, and sometimes Devin, would visit her in the bedroom, distracting her from the sounds by teaching her the pleasures of being touched by a man.
    After about a year of being kept in the bedroom, she was allowed to be out in the living room when men visited. They were always very nice to her and sometimes Jack would let them touch her, with the promise that they wouldn’t hurt her. They were rough with Tabitha and Zoe and made them cry or scream in pain.
    More recently, though, Tabitha and Zoe presented themselves to Jack ’s friends and spent the evening quietly pleasing them. Anna was fascinated at what they could do with a man’s body, obviously pleasing them and making them moan. The men were still rough sometimes, but the girls didn’t seem to get as upset as they did before.
    *****
    Devin contemplated Anna’s tears as he stepped closer. His other girls, including the girls that Jack trained for him, were just property. They had no birth certificates or social security numbers. They had no need for a 401(k) and the government did not know they existed. At least not officially; plenty of elected officials knew his girls personally. Anyone born in the Manor was kept off the radar, and many generations of girls had been born and died in this place, unbeknownst to most of the city. Yes, they had names, and he knew them all, but they were just sexual objects to be used to keep the men happy and compliant.
    Anna wasn ’t like that. She’d been born to loving parents, raised in a loving home until Devin decided it was time for her to become his. She was special. She had qualities only a handful of females in the entire world possessed, but she didn’t need to know that. He had rights to her; it was not an issue of legality. The will of the Brotherhood was what counted, and no one would deny his right to her. She was born in his region and he claimed her at her birth. But his plans for her were different from the others who kept similar women. His Brothers didn’t need to know that, though. Not for now anyway. They’d find out eventually, but by then it would be too late.
    Devin gave Jack a satisfied smile. Everything was coming together as expected. This was good. This was very good.
