My greatest hero

chapter 70

Eira sat there crying for a few minutes, her head began to hurt again from crying so hard, she was able to stop and breath for a moment. She heard the door being unlocked and saw Brynjar come in.
"Come" he said, gesturing for her to get up. She didn't move.
"Really Eira? Come here, now" he said, clearly getting irritated. She still didn't say or do anything.
'It doesn't matter what he does, don't let him make you his puppet' she told herself. He walked over to her and grabbed her arm, forcing her to her feet.
"Stop being so stubborn, you can't win" he said, annoyed by her being so difficult. He dragged her out of the dungeon and up the stairs, she was struggling to get away but finding it hopeless.
"Get her something to wear that isn't torn up" he said to someone as he shoved her into a chair. He knelt next to her and put his hand on top of hers. "Look, Eira, I don't like hurting you, I don't want to have to do this, can you not just cooperate for a few days?" He said calmly, and almost sweetly, but she knew he was only being manipulative.
"You don't like hurting me? That's all you've done since I met you, you love hurting me, who do you think your kidding?" She said, her voice weak as raspy. "And in answer to your question; no, I won't cooperate. I'm not your pet" she spat with as much strength she could. He stood up angrily. He grabbed her hair and yanked her head back, she felt a wet cloth cover her mouth and nose, and then he let her go. She stood up to run, but felt extremely dizzy.
"What did you do to me?" She said, stumbling a little but, he caught her and gently laid her down on the floor.
"Stop trying to fight it, just close your eyes" he said with a smirk. She started to see black spots and then fell unconscious.
=*****=
She woke up a few minutes later, back in the dungeon.
"Where am I?" She said seeing someone across the room.
"Can you be obedient?" He asked. "First tell me why I'm here" she demanded, he rolled his his eyes.
"She's stubborn no matter what I do"he said to himself shaking his head. He walked over to her and showed that he had the whip. She scrambled to her feet, but before she could get up he hit her with the whip, knocking her down again. He hit her a few more times before stopping, by this time She was laying on the ground, scared and confused. He knelt next to her and grabbed her face, forcing her to turn and look at him. "You do what I say, if you don't, we do this again" he said meanly. She was breathing hard, trying to figure out what was going on and didn't hear him ask her a question.
"Answer me!" He barked as he hit her a few more times, she was chocking on her tears and screams.
"Do you understand?!" He yelled, continuing to beat her, she tried to yell 'yes' but couldn't find her voice. He stopped for a moment and She tried to get up, but He got down next to her and held her down.
"Do you understand?" He asked again, she was trying to say 'yes' but her heavy breathing and crying made it sound like she was just whimpering. Started to run his finger through all the cuts that were now open on her back, and she tarted screaming again.
"Do you understand?!" He yelled.
"Yes! Yes!" She was finally able to say loud enough for him to hear, so he let go of her. "You'll do what I say?" He asked. She nodded frantically.
"Yes, yes, I'll do anything you say, just please stop!" She pleaded through tears. "Good" he said, and helped her to sit up. "Then this won't be that difficult" he added. "Stop crying" he said, and she quickly tried to control herself. "What's your name?" He asked, she looked around for a moment, then shook her head.
"I don't know" she said, starting to panic. he smirked."Good" he said as he stood up and started to leave.
"Wait, what's my name?!" She cried.
"You don't have one, you're no one. You're nothing but my pet now" he said, looking so pleased with himself. As soon as he left the room she started to scream in pain again. She was confused and in pain.
"What is my name?! What is my name?!" She screamed as she laid back down on her side. "What is my name?!" She didn't know where she was, how she got there, or who she was, she only that she was a prisoner, and now a 'pet' and she had no idea what to do
