The World of The Winged

The Dungeon

When I woke up, I had a pounding headache and slowly opened my eyes. My arms were in an umcomfortable position, I turned my head around and saw I was chained to a wall.

My arms were hanging from the chains just a little above my head so I wouldn't be able to move a lot. My legs weren't chained to anything so at least I'd be able to move those.

I slowly stood up and looked around me, I was in a cell with several others next to this one. A dungeon.

I was the only one here though, at least... I thought. "Hello? Is someone here?" I heard some whispering and steps were coming to my cage and another set of feet running away.

"Well I guess you woke up. You really took a chance when you helped his second wife escape." The guard said, he took his helmet off and placed it on the ground next to him. Locks of blonde curls fell on his face, he had dark brown eyes with green near his pupil.

Everyone is this palace was human. Not winged or anything else, human. Like me I guess... Why would the count want to marry a Gordanian? He's still human, I mean, their kids... Would they turn out human or Gordanian? Or a mix? If that's even possible.

"He doesn't deserve a second wife, no man does! No one deserves a second husband or wife. No one." I spat at him. He held his hands up and chuckled a little. "Woah, slow down there tiger. You're still chained to a wall, what's your name?"

I growled a little but answered; "Amelia, yours?" His mouth lifted up on one side, "Gure. (Guuree) Nice to meet you miss Amelia." He bowed before me with a gracefull gesture with his hand.

Suddenly the sound of a steel door opening was heard through the dungeon. Footsteps were coming closer until the count appeared in front of us. This was the first time I actually got to have a good look at him.

He had a darkbrown beard and darkbrown eyes. He was a little chubby but I honestly expected nothing less from a count. His thin lips were scowling as he stepped into my cage.

"You took my wife away from me." He said, I laughed a short laugh. "No you took that girl away from her family to marry her when she didn't want to."

I felt a sting on my cheek en my head flew to the side on impact, he slapped me! His eyes were filled with rage as they looked at me. "I'll make you pay for taking away my wife from me."

I softly smiled but stopped when it really hurt my cheek. "Well please do hurry up because I have a lot of other things on my schedule." I mocked.

His face filled with rage and disgust and he rolled his hand up into a fist. He was about to punch me when I kicked one of my feet up to his face.

His head flew upwards and he couldn't keep standing so he fell on the ground. I stepped as close to him as I could without hurting my arms too much. I was able to kick him and so I did. "You don't have authority over me or Nicky or any other person in this world, you fucking dick!" I screamed as I kept kicking him.

The guard standing next to Gure stopped me and pushed me back before helping the count up.

The count stood up and smirked at me, "Oh now you've done it." He pulled his fist backwards and swung it at my face, and another one to my stomach and ribs. I could feel blood seeping into my mouth. Shit, he hits hard.

The count stood over me as I was bent over in pain. I spit out the blood and coughed before muttering, "Is that all you got?" I looked up at him to see his smiling face changing into a face filled with rage.

He punched me in the stomach and in the face several times, I doubled over in pain and coughed up a small amount of blood. My hair fell over my face so the count couldn't see the determined glim in my eyes.
