Eliza called me home some days ago, maybe a week. I do not know how long its been. But all the slaves are gone, except Zeus and I. I wish I had been sold.. but I know that if I had been I would have begged to be brought back here. Home.. Perhaps I am a glutton for punishment. Perhaps deep down I like the way she treats me. If that's true I wish I knew!
I had barely been back the morning before it happened.. Eliza brought Master Tannek out form the wine cellar! Alive! But sickly looking, thin and naked.. and collared. I was horrified. I felt bile rise up in my throat.. my beautiful Master.. ruined, desolate.. nothing but a pile of bones and slack skin.
Eliza says we are to call him worm now. And that she had to do this.. because of me. For his own good. I do not pretend to understand everything she said. She made me whip him. She wanted me to make him bleed but I couldn't! I started to sob.. like a spineless creature I cried and begged her not to make me.. She smiled and patted my cheek.
And then she whipped me till I bled for him. And Tannek did not care!I wanted him to care as I cared for him and yet.. he was only concerned with himself. I hope he rots and dies in that cellar.
Mistress says tomorrow she will give me a note for a physician and send me to see one. It puzzles me though... Why does she suddenly care for the wounds she inflicts on me?
It frightens me.
