Tears she wept were soaked up by the blindfold that barred her sight keeping her in darkness. The echoes of crying and movement filled the dungeon this was a common thing here where they were kept. The numbers had surprised her the first time she had been allowed to not have her blindfold on. The sound of boots hit the hard granite floor it was the guards there boots made a distinct sound along the cold floor. the sound stooped just short of her cell "Well well my little Ruby I do wish you would reconsider being someones little pet you wouldn't be in such a bind!" laughed the man he was one of lowly guard he had placed her like this due to the pain she had caused him. She had broken his hand when he had tried to lay hands on her in a un-pure way it was one of few things she could still call her own and was unwilling to give it up without a fight. And so there she hung in agonizing pain.  Another pair of boots echoed in the halls she knew those boots well it was Daruis the captain guard he was a harsh but truthful man he was back to give her punishment again. "Begone and release her holding" he yelled his voice echoing as it silenced the other slaves in there tracks. The silence was immense everyone knew what was to happen and every soul dreaded it. As she was lowered her arms thanked the gods as they laid in her lap "I apologize I know you are in pain but I must do as commanded" were the last words she heard before her screams filled the halls. Daruis had whipped her legs till they bled she laid still dealing with the pain that pulsed through her, god how she wished it was sunrise already she thought as she laid her cheek against the hard cold floor.</div></span><br/><br/>[occ - you can if you want :)]
