Kat (http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/69/35/tricia-helfer-in-fhm-uk_472x708.0.0.0x0.472x708.jpeg) moved when commanded to, and at times prodded to, only so she wouldn't bring punishment upon anyone else.  Her own life, she knew, was forfeit anyway and she would have preferred to go down with a fight.  Her determined eyes stole a glance over to April as they were marched toward the ship unclothed.  She attempted to convey comfort through the look but knew it was to know avail, the girl was in shock, Kat was nearing that edge herself once more.<br/><br/>Her entire body quaked within as they were brought into the foreboding room.  The equipped poles, along with the straps and collar left little to the imagination as to what was going to happen.  Though her body stiffened she kept the staunch look on her face and set her jaw squarely.  Then again she was far more concerned for April than herself, the girl looked so innocent!  She had to turn away as the horrid man forced the girl down onto her knees and then onto the rod.  The whimpering and sobs that came after were enough to break any true human's heart and Kat fought back tears of empathy.  Too consumed with her compassion and horror on behalf of April that she didn't even notice what became of the all-to-eager captive, who had offered herself to the Emperor, when she was placed before the pole.<br/><br/>Then he came back, his dark words cutting through the shrieks of the other two.  He relished saving her for last, she knew it!  Somehow he must have been able to tell how much watching others suffer bothered her.  If there had been anyway Kat would have torn him apart with her bare hands without thought or regret.  She snarled at him as he grabbed her and forced her down into position.  She had resolved not to react when she was shoved onto the pole but the pain, due to her lack of readiness and her obviously tense muscles, proved too much for her to bare in silence.  She grunted in agony for a moment before controlling herself once more.  Her eyes shut tightly as he fastened her in.  Her long toned legs shook as they supported most of her weight.  Kat's blue-green eyes opened just in time to see his hand move to brush against her breast, causing her face to twist in a sickened expression.<br/><br/><em>"I think we will be meeting again, soon."</em><br/><br/>"Collaborator!" she growled with intense hatred at him, letting him know that she recognized him as a traitor to his own people.  If not strapped in place she may not have been able to keep her body from lunging forward at him.  Kat groaned, taken by surprise as the pole began to vibrate at the press of a button.  She bit her lip hard to keep herself silent and gasped in relief when finally it relented.  She was almost fooled into the false hope that it was over before she reminded herself who she was dealing with.  Before she could breath again the vibrations resumed.  All she could do was try to breath deeply through the torment as it continued relentlessly within her.
