A coward is someone who intentionally preys on the weak and the defenseless. I consider myself neither of these things, but the other that this man has destroyed were. He has taken women, children, prisoners of war and made them to be his serfs. 

I have personally escaped his grasp twice. Once when a year after I was first captured by this monster and his goons. I was a in the rebellion, making my way up the ranks. They caught me on guard duty late one night outside of a small forest base. I broke free two weeks later before he even had the chance the lay the the whip on me. 

The second time I was not so lucky. The beatings  started almost instantly. I always chained facing the wall, like he didn't want me to  have the benefit of looking him in the eye as he attempted to steal my dignity. On my second leave I was badly injured. I could barley walk.  luckily I had help from one pretty women, Lucille. She hid me me until night and helped me sneak pass the guards ones the sun set behind the hills. 

I wish I knew if she made it back undetected. I pray she did, the aftermath would have been something straight out of the devil's personal ring of hell.  

That why I let myself be captured this time. I had to know the guilt was all consuming, but now its been three days, no sign of Lucile and no sign that I am walking out of this room alive or at least with any shred of my pride intact.
