@MoonieTHERES AN M NOW. M FOR MENIS. And probably Moobs. o:
It was always something new.
Sharlee took a careful breath and breathed deeply, looking down at the ropes at her wrists, the tender flesh below. Blood was crusted at the ropes where she'd tried to free herself in vain and every movement made her wince. Crying was useless, though she wanted to. It didn't help. She needed to be of sound mind and find a way to be
free.
While they seemed to be bandits, she could taste the fact they were going to sell her into slavery.
Taste it like some cruel tonic on her tongue.
Drawing in a steady breath, she closed her eyes briefly and gave a startled gasp when she was tugged along by the scruffy man that held her rope. Deep, calming breaths.
Deep steady breaths.
She was the only person who could get herself out of this. She could do it.
The startled cry of Doeshe made her heart wretch and she tried to look back. Tried to look behind, but another tug, another surprised gasp. The tugging didn't stop though and before Sharlee really realized it, she was in the unwashed strange mans arm and his mouth was on the delicate point of her ear, whispering things.
"No!"
Sharlee screamed, pushing at him. The unwanted touches, the unwanted
everything. Slowly, she realized that if she simply waited for an opportunity the unthinkable would happen to her. A kick at his shin and Sharlee decided that screaming for help would be worth any potential trouble she got into with this strange beast because... What did she have to lose when there was so much to risk if she didn't?
His hand was at her waist and Sharlee got back handed roughly when her knee connected between his legs.
"Help me!" A frantic attempt to get away, she managed to scuffle, but he still held the rope, "Please, Oh gods,
Someone help me!" Frantic now, eyes wet with unshed tears. The blood started fresh at her wrists but she didn't
care.
Her voice echoed through the forest and Sharlee hoped there was a god out there. Or man gods. Or just someone who could help because she found herself, for the first time in her life, unable to help herself.
