Sworn Enemies (gxg) [On Hold]

Chapter three: Alexis

My eyes fluttered open barely taking in my settings. My head throbbed and felt as if it was swimming in water. To clear the fog from my pounding head I brought my left hand up to rub my eyes. Half way up to my face the rustling of chains was heard, before I knew it what ever fog I had was suddenly gone. Looking down I saw that both my hands were chained to the floor. It's gonna be a bitch trying to escape from here. Moving to a sitting position I looked around the room, well more like tent. I was chained in the middle of the tent, to my left there was nothing and on my right there was a table where a flickering candle was set along with different weapons. The only ones I could make out were some arrows, knife and whip but a few more were still there. In front of me two hand made chairs, one on each side of the entrance, sat unoccupied.

Panic was starting to blossom in my chest. I know what this is it's blatantly obvious. I was captured and kept alive only to be tortured until they extracted what ever information they wanted then I'd be killed without a second thought. Great, just great, that ogre should have killed me when he had me. Screw this I'll take what ever they have to give but I will escape. Pulling on my bonds I checked to see if they were lose but they weren't. I let out a small growl, frustrated at my situation. Up ahead the front entrance flap was pulled up and a head popped in but just as fast popped back out.

"She's awake!" Yelled someone out front. My guess is that it was the man who popped his head in but, you know, what do I know. Soon after the alert the asshole who slashed my cheek walked in. Standing in front of me he crossed his arms and just stared. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get uncomfortable but truth is that it was a bit disconcerting.
"What's your name" he rasped but instead of answering I spit at his feet. Before I could blink he took a blow at me with great force that my head swung to the left. I let my head face that way until he spoke again.
"What's your name woman" ever so slowly I raised my head, turned and stared into his black eyes.
"Go. To. Hell." He was about to hit me again when someone walked in behind him.

"Lower your hand Lynus" reluctantly the Lynus guy did. Turning around to face her he put his right fist over his heart and bowed.
"My queen" so that's who this woman is, I guess I'm not surprised. she is dressed like a royal warrior and has that walk that exudes confidence, power and not to mention authority and beauty. Turning back around Lynus stepped aside so his queen could stand directly in front of me.
"I am queen Natasha-"
"I know who you are" she didn't smile but her gray eyes twinkled for a brief second then turned hard.
"What is your name than" just as I did to Lynus I did to her, I spit at her. When the slap that twisted my head to the side came I wasn't at all surprised. I didn't raise my head up this time I just let it drop, anger settling in my belly. A warm delicate but callused hand grasped my chin making it tingle. Slowly she raised my head so I could stare into her cold eyes. She was squatting down now so we were at eye level.
"Tell me your name"
"Alexis" I finally whispered giving in.
"Alexis what are septimus strategies'

I stared at her incredulously, did she really think I'd tell her so easily? She stood up, nodded once at Lynus then walked over to an empty chair and dragged it half way between me and the entrance and sat crossing her legs. Lynus, on the other hand, silently walked over to the table and picked something up. It wasn't until he turned around that I saw the object in his hand was an arrow.
"Now dear Alexis will you tell me what your kings plans are?" I turned to look at her as she spoke. How is it that a beautiful woman like her can be so cunningly evil. She talks calmly, almost soothingly but really she is a poisonous snake waiting to bite. An evil queen is what she is.
"Never bitch" I glared at her with all the anger and hate I could muster. From the corner of my eye I saw Lynus hand swing down abruptly, I didn't know what he was doing until the arrow punctured through my thigh making me cry out in pain.
"Ahh you asshole!" I faintly heard the queen chuckle slightly to herself, it was so soft I almost could have fooled myself it didn't really happen. The sadistic bitch. The arrow was then pulled out and stabbed into my other thigh bringing about more screams of pain. Now I had both thighs bleeding and in pain and because of the screaming the wound on my cheek also began hurting intensify the throbbing in my head. Standing up the sadistic queen walked towards me and without looking away from me spoke to her minion.
"Leave us Lynus"
"But my queen-"
"She is chained down and I am more than capable of handling myself Lynus or do you not belief so?" She then turned to look at him and upon setting eyes on him she soften slightly.
"Leave us"
"Yes my queen" fist over heart he bowed then walked out. Well, well, well, asshole and evil queen are lovers why am I not surprised?
"You might as well kill me now because I'm not divulging any information"
"Than I'll just have to torture you until you do don't you think?" On impulse I spit at her again reveling in my small victory. A ghost of a smile appeared in her eyes and for the briefest of seconds I was enraptured.
