<strong>Emma - the long walk</strong><br/><br/>She followed slowly behind him, the chains making her body heavier. Little steps, the chain only slowed for smaller steps than she was used to. Her long strides reduced to baby steps now. Cumbersome, lagging, slow.<br/><br/>Emma was paraded through this place. First she saw cages, perfect size for dogs, but they were empty. Escape would be difficult if a dog were turned loose. Difficult but not impossible. Small steps, baby steps.<br/><br/>Next a stable. She heard the whinnie of horses inside, but did not see them, only saddles that were not like anything she had seen before. Modifications to the seat on a few, modifications to the underside on others. She shuddered to think what those were used for. After what she went through, nothing would surprise her in this place. Slow baby steps, unable to go faster.<br/><br/>Emma turned away as others watched her walk. She was ashamed for others to see her like this. For once she was happy the mask covered her face. They would be unable to make out just who is newest victim was.  Chains clinking, baby steps, nothing more.<br/><br/>Soon they stopped at a building, not very large, but she assumed this is where she would be in the dreaded isolation. The door unlocked and he led her in. Baby steps, easy pace, learning now how to go slow. Emma followed him down the hall. Dark, a definite evil lurked here.<br/><br/>Emma turned also as she heard the scream. Others here, she wasn't the only one being held captive. What were they doing to that poor girl? Would it happen to her? Baby steps, nearing her home. Emma heard the lock turn and click open. She peered inside. Black as night. No light. She trembled in fear, how would she escape this? Jer chances diminished as she saw where she would actually be.<br/><br/>She stepped inside after him, quiet the entire time, thinking, planning. Trying to decide how to flee her prison. She saw a single metal ring on the floor, nothing else. Emma had no idea she would be secured to that spot with little room to move. She looked at him from behind the mask amd saw the devil, the one that would eventually claim her soul no matter how she wanted to fight it. She would lay at his feet eventually, happy to do so, pleasing him, her future master in any way he wanted.<br/>
