Kai waited for what seemed like hours. Finally, when they were sure no one was awake, they got out of bed. They almost tripped when trying to take a long stride like sneaky step due to them forgetting the long nightdress they were wearing. Quickly with shorter steps, they made it to the door that was unlocked.
They looked to the left and then the right, but sleeping on the floor outside their room was Jayla.
Their former friend woke and said, "Missus, there something you need? Cos you know I can get you something this late."
" What? no I was just... Why are you out here? " Kai stammered, caught off guard.
Jayla sat up, " Slaves sleep outside they owner's rooms, just how Master like it."
Kai almost forgot about their situation and that Jayla wasn't the person from their past.
"Oh, right I just needed a glass of water I'll just" But before Kai could continue, Jayla quickly got up and left her mistress. A short while and she was back and a glass of water on a tray was presented to them. Kai reluctantly took it and went back in their room. Clearly there was no snooping around at night without being noticed.
Kai fell into a restless sleep seemingly trapped in this backwards world.
