Aya's POV
For a very long time, I have been the captive of Lord Kai. He drinks from me a few times a day just to keep me weak.
Today when I woke, it was bright in the small hut. Moving ever so slightly I hissed in pain; silver manacle linings slipping a bit, touching my far too pale skin and burning it. Raising up slightly, I saw Lord Kai sitting in front of the door. "I hear you are awake, good." He said as he turned around to face me with a predatory grin.
I refused to say a word to him, and hadn't in over two weeks. Coming closer he sat down by my side and pulled back the blanket that covered my nude body from his eyes.
As he did, I swallowed hard and if I could have killed him with my crimson eyes, he would not have died. Why? Because I would have preferred that he suffer instead.
Pulling the buckets from against the wall, he began to bathe me. Personally I think it was his excuse to be able to touch me as he pleased, knowing full well I couldn't stop him like this.
Carefully, he pulled the stack of cloths up to the buckets and dipped the first one in.
Hands and elbows, were followed by feet and calves. Dipping the cloth again, he washed down my upper arms and shoulders.
"Okay, Aya. Now for the parts you hate so much." Dipping the cloth he proceeded to gently wash and massage my full breasts. As the cloth passed my nipples his knuckles grazed them, hardening almost pebble-like. Gently the cloth moved over my stomach and abdomen, making me hitch my breath as he passed over my mound.
Carefully he unfastened one of my ankle manacles and bent my knee. Dipping the cloth again, he draped it over his fingertips and slid it into my folds. Working up and down from clit to entrance until I finally drew back and kicked him in the head. My hair whipped past him as he backhanded me hard. He swiftly manacled my ankle again and forced two fingers deep inside of me; drawing back when he found something he apparently was not expecting to find. "Bastard." I whispered.
Enraged Lord Kai grabbed me by the hair and arching my neck to the side; plunged his two long fangs into my skin, tearing muscle, tendon and ligaments along the way making me scream out in pain. Blood flowed over my collarbone to drip onto my breasts. As again he pulled on the artery hard just to hear my screams until there were no screams again.
Lord Kai's POV
Damn her! How could she just hide that information from me! I haven't felt so enraged in such a long time that when the heavenly stream of red struck my tongue I could not tell you why I'd been so angry. Dear God's nothing tastes as Aya does but.. I can't hear her heart.. I can feel the panic setting in. I haven't had much to drink from her, but not so much that it would have done this?! Sitting back on my heels I see all my plans come crashing down. Oh God's not now! Not now of all times!
In a snap decision, I pack up my belongings and tell the others to do the same. We will go to the hideout in the northwest.
I kneel down at her side and take her small frail hand in mine, kissing the back of it. "Forgive me Aya, I had no idea anyone was sneaking in that hut while I was gone. I should have had better guards over you." Bending over her pale lips, I kissed them one last time. After removing the silver manacles of course..
Master Liu's POV
Jin came running out to me on the training field, which is unusual, when I am in full gear. "Master Liu, it's Lord Kai, he and his men are pulling out of the encampment and Aya is not among them."
"What?! That can't be. We had word just last night from our scout that she was there at Kai's hut. Go grab a group of ten men. We go through that place on a search, as soon as they pull out completely." Nodding, Jin takes off at a run while I go to report to Mako.
The group of men are gathering on the training field. Each and every one, out best and brightest. I know why Jin has done this, I would have too. Jin and I trade knowing glances. We both care about Aya in our own ways. These other men haven't really had a chance to get to know her yet. Then again neither have we..
There's just something about her that's just so special. While I admire her 'fire', I also admire her courage too. I don't know. Maybe we have all gone a bit too long without women. Who's to say? Time to get things started.
Alright men! This is a simple job. Check all buildings and around them. We search for Aya only, and have till sunset within two and a half hours. Let's go get her boys!
We all take off at a run and arrive at the abandoned encampment within forty five minutes. Using stealth and hand signals we close in on the huts. Jin moves inside of one only to exit quickly and walk to me. Then whispers in my ear, I couldn't bring myself to get too close, in case it really is her. Would you... Check? I'm afraid I'll loose it in front of the guys.
Nodding, I walk inside the hut and there she lays beneath the light from an upper window. I feel for her heart and can feel nothing. Yet from what I can see, there's no damage to her body on the outside. Wrapping the blanket around her still and limp form, I carry her in my arms and head toward the door. Though Jin is there, I cannot bring myself to look at him. "Collect the men, we must hurry and get her to Mako. He deserves to see his friend one last time before we bury her." It is then that I realize that tears are stream down my cheeks, but I don't care who sees it.
