They soon throw me into a small room near to where the entrance of the dungeons is. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Skurge sitting there as they throw me onto a wooden table in the middle of the room.
"Skurge, help us get this dress off!" one tells him while they attempt to remove it themselves.
"We will have to hide the body once we've had our fun with this one" the other laughs.
Skurge looks troubled by their actions, when I suddenly remember the last time I saw him and what I'd said to him that day. Hopefully this will work.
"Free Loki" I beg him quietly through my tears before one of them covers my mouth.
"No more of your tricks, witch!" the larger one says before he finishes tearing my dress open then spits in my face.
I bite his hand as hard as I can, so he repays me with a hard punch to the face. The smaller guard grabs both of my wrists and holds them above my head, while the other removes the last piece of dignity I have left by tearing off my underwear.
I close my eyes, desperately wanting to imagine that none of this is real. It's all just a bad dream that I'll wake up from any second.
I feel him forcing my legs apart when the room suddenly falls silent and there's the sensation of something warm spraying across my exposed body.
When I get the nerve to open my eyes again, I see blood pouring from the guards chest that now has a sword rammed through it, causing the other guard to finally release his grip on my wrists.
As the sword is pulled back through him, the guard falls to the side. That's when I see my saviour standing there with the blood drenched sword still in his hand.
"I said get your hands off of her!" Loki shouts with a voice full of rage.
Skurge suddenly appears behind Loki, having quietly slipped away to do what I'd asked him. He swiftly helps me up off the table, wrapping a cloak around me to cover my body.
"Loki, do not tell me that this witch has cast a spell on you as well?"
"No, but she does not deserve such a cruel and vile end. You however, clearly do".
Their swords begin to clash violently while they take swing after swing at one another.
The guards sword grazes Loki's skin, leaving blood dripping from his arm and he returns the favour quickly by running his sword across the guards leg.
He appears wild with rage and continues to fight Loki, but he unexpectedly manages to knock the sword from Loki's hand.
The guard looks pleased with himself once he has the upper hand, with Loki now left seemingly defenceless. As soon as the guard makes his next attack, the sword goes straight through Loki's abdomen.
"No!" I scream at the top of my lungs and Skurge has to hold me back.
The guard then turns his attention towards me and charges at us while I cower in Skurge's arms, when he suddenly halts in place as if by magic, but it's not of my doing.
Loki appears in front of us, now completely uninjured and brandishing a small dagger that he's plunged into the side of the guards neck.
Once his dead body falls to the ground, we were all very much aware of the fact there were now two dead guards in this room, and two prisoners out of their cells.
"What happens now?" I ask, wiping my tears away.
"I will most likely be put to death for this" Loki replies.
"No! I won't let that happen. I'll tell them it was me. They attacked me and I fought back".
"And give the people more of a reason to fear witches? The people will most definitely demand your head if they believe you killed two palace guards" he sighs while he attempts to formulate a plan.
"I will tell them it was me" Skurge says.
"You've done enough already, you don't need to help me anymore".
"I will tell the King I witnessed them taking you from your cell by force while you were resting so I followed them in here. When I entered I saw them attempting to force themselves on you and I fought them to the death".
"You don't have to do that" I tell him.
"Loki, go swap your shirt and clean the blood off yourself. Krystal, put one of those collars on and if anyone asks, you believe they put it on you while you were sleeping".
Skurge was suddenly so calculated and commanding. I like this side of him.
"Thank you, Skurge".
