Delmora: The Lost Quest

Chase

Edith woke to agony piercing her skull. She struggled to consciousness but every thought made her head throb more. It brought tears to her eyes and for a moment she forgot how to breathe. She tried moving with her eyes still closed. Her hands were tied together. Her leg was tied to something and she was laying on something fluffy. A bed. Sheets covered her up to her torso. Her hair was cold and wet in a braid. She opened her eyes. Another pair was staring into hers. She jumped, screamed and squirmed where she lay.

The more she moved the more her head pounded with pain. The eyes looked away. They were black holes. They belonged to a sharply featured man much older than her. His face was sullen and bags lined the bottom of his eyelids. His hair was shorter, stopping past his ears. It was straight but for a small wave at the bottom and it was down and framed his face.

"shhhhh" He whispered. "Its ok"

He stroked her face but she squirmed away. He moved his closer to her until he was pressing his chest against hers. She felt his breath in her hair and he stroked her head. Her panic was slowly dying but her breath still came out fast. She couldn't hear his vitals over her own pounding heart.

"I'm not going to hurt you if I don't have to" He said. His voice was low and his breath warm.

He stroked her skin. Although she was hot and couldn't keep herself from shaking. A bandage was wrapped around her head, His fingers found where her skull had taken a blow and she screamed.

"shhhhhh" He said soothingly.

She quieted down and they lay there for a few more minutes. Plan after plan rolled through her mind. She thought no further than killing him. His hand crept up whatever cloth he had dressed her in and rested on her breast.

She stopped shaking. Stopped moving and froze. She saw him smirk as he caressed her breasts.

"Balthazon women. The stories I've heard are dead on, which usually is quite the contrary you know. Whores are just too easy to come by." The man mused. He kissed her more. Edith's heart beat like she was running for her life. She had never been kissed as he did so now. The sensation was both satisfying and terrifying, making her body nauseous and sick. Everything that her sisters taught her screamed in her ear but no matter what pain she felt or sick feeling she was getting she tired forcing herself to calm down. They kissed for a while, sending his hand down her back. She did her best at calming her nerves and then, with her free knee she sent it to his rib cage. He blocked it but she rolled over, off the bed. Her other leg was still attached to the bedpost. Pain shot through her head again. She was wearing a long white shirt and nothing else. He grabbed her hands that were tied infront of her but she struggled away. He followed her to the wood ground and got on top of her. He was a thiner man but toned and lean. He had little chest hair. She spat on him and he slapped her, sending her to the black abyss.

When she woke again she was on the bed once more but the man was sitting up next to her. He had a bowl of water with him and was washing his face and hair. Both of her feet were tied this time.

"I forgot to introduce myself." He said. A look of irritation was on his face and on the other side of the bed she saw a knife.

"My name is Uber."

"fuck you" Edith spat.

Uber smirked, "I'm no barbarian Edith, I believe that's your name. I wouldn't defile a woman where she rest but I won't lie and tell you that I am not above pain." Uber said. "this can be pleasant for you if you do what I-" Edith sat up very fast and popped him in the face making his nose bleed. He went for the knife and she whooped him in the face with her ties hands, making him fall on the bed. She pushed him with her feet until his neck was in-between her strong thighs. His face went red and then blue. He struggled for words but could not speak. She reached for the knife while he struggled and cut the rope from her hands. When he was almost limp she let him go and got on top of him with the knife pointed at his throat.
