Serenity woke several hours later to find that she was cold. As she shivered, she noticed the clothing that lay beside her and changed from her blood covered dress into what her new master had given her. She moved to the end of the wagon bed and looked out to see a fire going, bright and warm.<br/><br/>"Master?" Serenity asked as she climbed from the wagon. She was still quite weak but forced herself to walk to the warm fire. "I am sorry master. Forgive me..." Serenity requested as she stepped into the fire light. She look him over as she knelt beside him. "I have failed in my first duties as a slave master." She bowed to him, presenting herself for punishment.
