Before I could even react, before I could feel a thing, Emotionally, Physically. I watched blood fall from the empty spot were my ring finger used to be.
I looked up to see the Dark One's face, mired in anger and irritation.
Then it hit me like a wave spreading from that spot.
Excruciating pain.
"Aaahhhhhhhh!!!"
I clenched tightly the stub of what used to be my finger, in hope that the pain would be dulled or at the very least diverged.
I collapsed to the ground in pain. Hunched over as hot blood ran down my hand and arm.
"Get up, now!"
The Dark One moved her hand dragging me to my feet with some sort of spell. With her hand she tightly grasped my jaw.
"Now listen to me well, you have no will, no desires, no thoughts of your own. You will listen and obey at all times. Is that understood?"
I couldn't form the words, I tried desperately to form them, mouthing them as best I could.
"Is that understood?!"
"Yes . . . Dark One," the words escaped my lips as a whisper.
"Now clean this up, and get to work."
The Dark One turned away and vanished.
