(Trigger Warning)
"WHERE IS SHE?" he billowed out. The men stopped talking, Hagthoria raised her head from twirling the leather tie on a soldier's armor and looked around also.
"Sh..she went to use tha woods sir, she said it was an emergency, a 'woman' issue, wanted to relieve herself alone." One of the men sitting nearest to where she previously sat, spoke.
"WHICH WAY?" He yelled in almost panic. Nikolas knew that scouts were afoot for the King, so he grabbed his scabbard and sword leaning on his tent as he dropped the pile of furs. Mumbling how the female was already a pain in his arse, having been there less than a day, he ran into the woods in the direction the soldier pointed.
It was daylight, so Ally could see her way through the dense woods. She still wasn't a hundred percent she wasn't dreaming, but regardless she just couldn't take it anymore. Tricking the soldier that was keeping an eye on her was easy, at least they understood when a women needed privacy.
Her bare feet were now blistered and sore from walking on small stones and dead branches that blanketed the forest floor. Leaning against a dead tree log over run with moss, she looked around and started to talk to herself out loud.
"Great, Alexanne, ye went from having a comfy office job, to exploring nature. Can life possibly get any worse?" As she examined her foot, it started to bleed and tears welled up in her eyes. She just wanted to go home, she was cold, hungry and tired. Lost in these thoughts and trying to fight the tears, she was suddenly startled by the sound of laughter.
"Aye! My, my ! Eh, ha ha, George, ye wuldn't reckon she'd be one of the courts wuld yah?" the scout's voice startled Ally and as she looked up from her foot.
She was now face to face with two men she didn't recognize. They didn't seem to be the same as the soldiers she just ran from.
Eyeing her as he scratched his head, the scout looked her over, stopping on her chest, with an almost toothless grin. This gave Ally the creeps and she pulled her robe close covering her breast the best she could.
"Nay, may she be a whore frum the tavern down by Pilly's farm? Either way, it'd be nice if we's have a little fun, eh Fred?" stepping closer in her direction, the scouts' words caused fear to run down Ally's spine.
"We's gonna have us a lit'l fun wit ya now lass, ye just play nice." Hearing him say this, Ally started inching sideways to try and put a large fallen tree between her and the two men coming at her.
As she suddenly decided to just run, one of the scouts was able to snatch onto her robe before she could get around the tree, causing her to lose her footing and fall to the damp ground on her face. Feeling pain from hitting her head on the fallen tree, she fought through grogginess to get on her back.
By the time she was able to look up, she could see the two men looming over her. One smiled as the other started untying his pants. She couldn't believe this was happening and started to kick at their legs and use her nails to scratch at them.
The man smiling at her came down hard on top of her kicking legs. Grabbing both legs with his hands, to hold them still, he snapped at this partner.
"Don stand there, grab the wrists, be this kitties gots claws." laughing to himself scared Ally even worse.
"Ye's going first Fred? Aye, tis be fine wit me, I like them a little more calmed abit." His partner snickered as he said it.
The man holding her legs let go and, in that instant, she tried to scuttle backwards, but the other man grabbed at her legs and getting on his knees he reached up and punched her hard in her jaw.
"Nay, I be not in to firey women ither, lay still lass, may hap not take us long, and ye could be on yah's way." Saying this he spread her legs to each side of him causing her to cry out in pain more, the other man grabbed her wrists and held them above her head.
"She be wild for sure, we culd always kill her first, wat ye say?" bending and looking into her face too close, while saying it, Ally spat at him.
"HELP!! Someone, PLEASE! NO! PLEASE DON'T, PLEASE NO!!!" She sobbed and begged as her voice was going horse from screaming.
The men just laughed at her and seemed they had no plans of letting her out of this. She kept struggling and could feel the world start to swirl in front of her. She tried her best to fight them off but they were too much for her.
Closing her eyes, she attempted to detach herself, think back to her bed, and believe this was just a dream. Feeling a hand reach up under her nightie and rip at her underwear made this a reality, so she could only pray she would pass out soon.
The other man had taken the liberty of binding her wrists with one hand while he ripped at the part covering her breasts. She cried and tried to scream harder as she felt the cool air hit them. Squeezing her eyes shut as hard as she could, the pain in her head ebbed on harder.
She felt the dirty roughness of his hand squeeze her right breast hard. She tried bucking her body to avoid the torture but the man at her legs was now upon her.
"Open yur pretty eyes lass, look at me, I be making ye scream, I needs to see yur eyes." saying this in a whisper he started to grind into her while the other man holding her wrists stopped his assault on her breasts and attempted to pry both of her eyes open with his fingers.
She shook her head and tried to bite at the fingers in her face. The scout holding her wrists just laughed and gave her a hard slap that made her teeth chatter. She stopped struggling, darkness was finally there to save her.
The feeling of slipping off into the sweet pool of nothing gave her a sudden partial peace. She tried riding it until she couldn't feel anything.
Noticing she was starting to slip into unconsciousness, the man on top stopped as he was about to force himself inside her. Grabbing her by her chin, he shook her head.
