Skrimir made Mazelina walk a few miles away from the road until they reached a cleverly covered tunnel that led into the ground. She tried to fight him, but he shoved her in and held a knife to her back. Unable to do much else, she walked in, shaking from fear.
Every now and then, he gave her directions and she obeyed, dread clogging her throat until she could hardly breathe when they reached a large cavern. There were gas lanterns hanging about and a big cot against the opposite wall. Skrimir took her arm and led her to the bed. She began to scream through the tape and struggle, but he wasn't fazed. He threw her on the bed and knelt to open the bag.
Skrimir pulled out a heavy looking chain and clamped one end to one of her ankles and the other to a loop jutting out of the floor. From there, he untied her hands and ripped the tape off. when she went to scream, he slapped her hard so she fell backwards.
