Lilith
I was thrown against cold steel bars as someone from behind me shackled my neck with a collar, chaining me to the wall. They then shackled my hands. The collar had runes etched into it, causing my skin to burn. I ended up passing out, I don't know for how long. When I woke, I groggily looked around at my surroundings.
There were women writhing and playing with themselves as others hid and made themselves small in corners. My ears twitched as I looked across the way. There was a beast locked up in a cage, it was serpent-like, aggressive looking, its tongue snaked out flicking, smelling, a glowing collar was around its neck. I was glad that beast was being held back. If that thing got out, it would be a death sentence for anyone here.
Many people walked around in purple hoods and golden masks. Some stopped injecting the prisoners with what I was assuming the drug I was injected with a few days ago. They halted at my cage.
"Here we have a woman from Lahnust, a shifter woman and an Orc." One of our captors said as he pointed us out. The onlookers oohed and ahhed. One of them stepped up to the bars.
"Can we take the Lahnust woman out for a spin? I'd love to see how she'd fair." The slimy man said.
"I don't see why not. Do you want to see what she can handle sexually or battle wise?" A man stepped forward unlocking the cage. I saw him smile a wicked grin. "Both."
I was yanked off the wall, the collar burning into me as I was dragged on the floor. I was then grabbed roughly, picked up and dropped on my feet.
"You can walk; the runes aren't that powerful." They sneered at me. I spat in their faces. I was immediately backhanded; my body fell to the floor.
"Suit yourself," They yanked on my collar, dragging me the rest of the way to the pit they were going to throw me in.
They opened the barred door, throwing me inside. I huffed dirt out of my mouth as I tried to heave myself up off the floor. Ha! They think they're going to break me? I eat this type of treatment for breakfast. I spat at the floor again as I glared up towards the crowded area above me.
"Release the Minotaur." A voice bellowed above me. The. WHAT?!
My head snapped to the sound of a gate being opened. Lilly hissed as the thing emerged from the hole in the wall. It was shackled, as a small man walked up to it, injecting it with that fucking drug. It roared and snorted as it became fully erect. Fuck.
I frantically looked around as they unshackled the beast. I'd have to use every ounce of strength I have to not get raped by this creature.
"It's ok Lilith, remember our trials, you got this. I'm here." I took a shaky breath as the thing charged me. I rolled to the right as it rammed its body into the wall. It bellowed as it got on all fours and moved at me with more speed than they're supposed to. It was that god-damn drug, amping him up.
I ran, then flung myself out of the way again. It spun quickly, grabbing my ankle and dragging me. I kicked it in its bull nose, causing it to reel back, giving me time to scramble to my feet. I ran for the wall as I could feel it on my heels, snorting. I quickly ran up the wall, flipping and landing on its back. It roared and bucked, trying to throw me off. I managed to get the tip of its horn under my hand shackles. I pulled and the metal groaned. It reached up, grabbing me with its massive hand and flung me to the floor.
The wind was knocked out of me as my vision was dizzy. Lilly was screaming at me to move. I felt the creature shove its nose between my legs, I snapped my thighs shut, twisting and slamming its body into the ground. I spun my legs, helping me get momentum to throw myself up on my feet.
"Oooh full of surprises aren't ya little lamb," I heard the croak of Sebastian's words tugging in the back of my mind. I furrowed my brows as I roared my own battle cry at the creature in front of me. I. Will. LIVE!
I snapped my shackles as my armor started to spread over my left arm. Screaming in pain, I charged the fumbling Minotaur, who had yet to get back on its feet from my previous blow. I launched myself onto him, shoving my claw into his chest. It squealed like a pig before grabbing me and throwing me against the wall. I felt blood fly out my mouth as I hit the floor.
I shoved myself up without hesitation and dodged just in time as he rammed his horns into the wall. I took my gauntlet, extended the claws and dove under its belly, stabbing it and sliding my nails into its sternum. I flipped under it placing my feet on the wall and shoved myself from his rib cage all the way down to its groin, slicing it open, spilling its hot bubbling intestines on me and all over the floor.
I pulled myself out from underneath him before he collapsed into his own guts while it gurgled and wailed. The white silk dress they forced on me, stained purple red from the fight and clung to my body. I huffed as steam rolled out of my mouth. I looked up at the gasping crowd as I raised my bladed finger to them. Licking the edge of it, splitting my own tongue as it healed shut, I smiled from ear to ear.
"You're next, PIGS!" I roared at them as I clawed at my collar, the runes burning even hotter. I didn't care. I was going to get out of here. I was going to see Sebastian again. I wanted to see him again.
Both entrances opened as twenty men who stood at least 6'0 piled in. Lilly chuckled as I licked the back of my hand. A small man emerged from underneath them, chanting. I fell to my knees as the runes burned more intensely into my body, my gauntlet snapping back into my arm, causing me to writhe in pain.
I was re-shackled and dragged back to the cage area. I sat there, covered in the sticky bloodbath that coated me as the other women in the cage gawked at me. The door locked as the man turned to the rest of the people standing there.
"Keep in mind, we will be giving you the runes and spells to keep her under control. What happened in the pit is because we didn't have the right runes on her." He glanced back at me grinning. "Bid starts at 10,000 gold tomorrow." Everyone mumbled, nodded then headed out.
I smacked the back of my head against the cage as I sighed out in frustration.
"Did... you... kill someone?" The orc girl whispered towards me. I flicked a gaze at her.
"Yes... I killed the Minotaur." I leaned forward, resting my arm on my leg. Her eyes widen.
"No one's ever come close to doing that..." She trembled as she pulled her legs into herself. I scanned her body, noticing the fresh bruises, cuts and the blood that was caked onto her inner thighs. I might have been lucky to escape getting brutally assaulted, but these other women were not so lucky.
I reached my bounded hands towards her, not being able to reach. I hissed as I tried to get closer. She looked at me pleadingly. The look so many of the Lahnust women shared with me.
"I will get us out of here... I will get you your freedom back." I stated with confidence as she started to weep. The other women in the cage followed her lead and cried as well, giving me and Lilly more resolve than we had before.
"I have a plan Lilith... I'll break the spell on our heat being locked, the scent you give off should be strong enough for Sebastian to find us. And if he can't, it'll give us a small power surge to bust out of here. I just pray we get away before any of these creatures catch on."
"Agreed. But wait till tomorrow, when they take us to the auction house." She agreed as we both said in unison, "So we can kill every last one of those bastards."
