| Dylina couldn't do anything else but listen to her captor as she was carried around into unknown areas of the grotto. She listened to him blaber on about the few times he saw her in hiding long before, embarrassing her to the point where she believed that her face was bright red. "Of course the boss ain't gonna let me have my fun until he inspects you. In the meantime I can have fun with the two other girls we gots. It was very easy too, 'cause most the men were out for some reason or another, but I ain't one to argue." Dylina winced under her blindfold. Those men who were looking for me.... if I hadn't had ran away the girls wouldn't have been taken here to such a horrible place. Damn my luck...... She tested her bonds again, but her struggling didn't do her any good at all. Her situation was desperate, and to make matters worse, she didn't know if Ren noticed that she was abducted. After what seemed an eternity of non-stop chatter, her captor finally quieted down. Soon she could feel the heat of a fire. She felt fur under her as she was set down on the ground, her gag removed first. Dylina didn't bothering yelling out or screaming as her blindfold was removed next. The change of light caused her to close her eyes, but eventually her eyes adjusted as she took around. Two girls laid next to her, naked and unconscious. Her heart stopped as she recognized one of them as her best friend Meg. How could such a thing happen to her Dylina thought to herself as her eyes turned away from her friend. She could feel her ankle bindings come loose, and as she looked, her eyes met with those of the half-ogre. The height of the brute and the few features hinted that it was part human, but the fact that it was larger and more built than any known humans gave away its ogre blood. His eyes scanned her body with an evil intent as she shuddered. The mere thought of what would happen to her soon was too much for her to think about, so she tried to think of other things while the half-ogre removed her wrist bindings. Dylina was pulled to her feet by the brute before she was groped from behind. Her arms tried to pull his hands away, but his hands merely squeezed harder. But without warning the hands released her as she fell to her knees, covering her breasts with her hands as much as possible. Her eyes focused on the flames as they danced around, terror filled in her heart. "Is she the one you constantly spy on Ug?" Her eyes rose from the flame to the man who spoke. At first she thought that he was human, but the mark on the back of his hand was that of her tribe. But the mark near his tribal one marked him as an exile. How long has he been here? "Yes Boss Ttub. She the purty one who comes in here often." The exiled man closed his eyes and crossed his arms. "Guess it's better than Tubby..... Anyway, I think you deserve a present, Ug. Since she is the one you loved to spy on the most, you can break her in." "Thanks Boss Tubby!" The boss walked away to another part of the cave that was organized for the pair's dwelling. "It's Tun you oaf! Make sure you aren't too loud, I'm gonna try to sleep." "Yes boss! I'm gonna love this." Dylina panicked as she moved away from the half-ogre as quick as possible. The half-ogre stood between her and what she thought was the way out, as she slowly found herself cornered. "Now don't go making me chase ya, 'cause that just gets me angry, and I'll make it painful for yas. You'll not like it to the point where you wish that yous were..." Ug was cut off as a bolt pierced his head and through his brain. The body fell to the ground inches away from her as she shrieked in terror. Tun ran back into the room, sword drawn as he looked at his dead henchman. Furious, Tun approached her with the blade ready as it seemed that he didn't care that she didn't kill him. A cough diverted Tun's attention as he faced where it came from, only to receive a bolt through the chest. Tun toppled forward near the fire as she gazed in the direction from where the bolt came from. Her gaze set on Ren who lowered his crossbow before dropping it completely. Her heart filled with joy as she ran to him, embracing him in his arms and crying into his shoulder, letting her feelings out all at once. She felt his arms slowly wrap around her and rub her back as she closed her eyes and buried her face into his neck. Dylina whispered small thank yous to him, tightening her hold on Ren as she did. "Thank you again Ren.... I was so scared....." Ren stroked her hair softly. "I was about to when I heard about the other girls. You weren't in any immediate danger at the time, so I decided to wait. I'm sorry....." She smiled up at him before she buried her face into his chest. "It's alright.... it's alright...." ---------------------------------------------------- Dylina watched Ren return with his stuff, before he reached into his backpack and returned her dress, also taking out extra sets of clothes for the other two girls and setting it near them. He had already dragged both bodies out of the room, but she was unsure if they would bury the bodies just yet. She spent most of her time by her friend as well as thinking of what she would do now. At first running away was the thing she had wanted to do, but the trouble that the tribe was experiencing was no doubt due to her disappearance. Her troubles, also, came as a result of her not staying home as well as the troubles that Ren endured to protect her. Ren sat down as Dylina began to notice that her friend was stirring. Meg mumbled and groaned in protest as she slowly woke up. Dylina stroked her friend's hair softly, trying to keep her calm as she sat up in the cave. Meg took a good look around her before her gaze landed on Ren. At first she saw her friend ready to attack, but she put her hand on her friend's shoulder and shook her head. "It's alright. He's no enemy." "But he's a human. How can a human his age be this far in, and how did he come here?" Dylina began her story with when she ran away. Then she talked about how Ren protected her in the forest as well as the hiding spot. Eventually she got to the attempted rape, and at the mention at either of the rapists, Meg shuddered to herself. "Please, don't mention them again. It will take me a long time to get those two out of my mind, and even then....... what if......" Ren reached into his backpack and tossed in front of Dylina a small bottle of herbs and pills. "Have your friend and the other girl take one of those. It'll make them both sick, but they won't have to worry about a child anymore." She merely blinked as she picked up the bottle and investigated it carefully. Dylina couldn't figure out what was so special, but since Ren had saved her twice now, she felt that she couldl trust him. Ren then tossed her a bottle of water, giving it to her friend Meg as well as one of the pills. Her friend leaned against her, taking the pill and drinking up all the water as Ren closed his eyes. "I'm gonna get some sleep, if that is alright with you." Dylina nodded. "Go ahead, I don't think you have any reason not to." Meg stood up and stretched out, pausing for a moment to realize what she was wearing. " Do you have any extra clothes I could use?" Dylina nodded and pointed to the two sets of clothes that were near her and the other girl. " Pick whatever you want. I'm sure he doesn't mind. " Meg picked up the shirt and looked at it for a bit before she slipped it on and buttoned all but the upper two buttons. Then she examined the pants before she pulled them up her legs. Dylina noticed, however, the small hole in the pants, chuckling to herself before she reached over and zipped it up. "That guy has some strange clothes, Dye." Dylina nodded. "That I will agree to. He is one strange and unique fellow." Meg giggled and took a seat on her friend's lap, laying against her. Dylina gazed at her friend as she stared at the ceiling, thinking of what her friend had gone through in just one night. It must be hard for her, because I already know its hard for me, and I didn't get raped like she did. Dylina sighed. All the things we did in here.... we were being watched the whole time. I'm just glad that Ren was around when he was as well. All three of us would be dead by now. "Dye," asked Meg, smiling up at her friend, " Are you gonna try to forget what happened in here? Everything? And never return?" "I.... well... I know I'm gonna try to forget about this, but I will refuse to forget the fun times we had together as well as our adventures in here. And I know I'll return here..... with you, if you also wish to return." Meg nodded, turning around and hugging her friend gently. "I will... But what will become of me..." "What do you mean?" Tears welled up in her eyes as Meg began to sob in her friend's chest. "The two snuck into the house the night you ran off.... They killed my father before he could do anything, and then they raped and killed my mother...... But before they got to me, they were discovered. So they hid in another house, where they found her alone......" her gaze shifted to the still unconscious girl. "...what will happen to both of us?" "I don't know my friend.... I just don't know." ------------------------------------------------------- Dylina woke up slowly, hugging the warm figure against her. She slowly opened up her eyes and stroked her friend's hair softly as she snuggled against her. Her mind did not trouble her at all when she began to think about what she had to do next. The burden on her shoulders seemed a lot lighter while she looked around for Ren. She tried to get a gaze at what he was looking at in his hands, but she didn't want to get up and disturb Meg's restful sleep. "Ren..... can I tell you something?" Ren looked up at her and nodded. "Shoot." "...... I want to go back home." |
