Cursed Revenge (closed for Imcms)

[lmcms]

Nadya could feel is anger as he struck her from behind. She hissed in a breath at the pain she felt as the blade stabbed into her stomach causing a burning tearing pain. She looked up at him from under her lashes her voice hoarse as she spoke, "So where is .... My other tormentors ......did you bring her with you? You know she'll try to kill me before your done with me."

Nadya gripped his arms to hold herself up her ocean green eyes staring into his opening her mind and showing him she would take his revenge but she would not give Rosa the pleasure of being part of it.

 

[DeathsKnight]

He smirked at her, his hand locking around her throat and lifting her up again, slowly squeezing,

"My revenge is my own."

He kept the pressure until she passed out from lack of blood flow and oxygen, tossing her carelessly at the images of himself, their forms grabbed her and ferried her away. He looked out towards the forest from where she came, issueing a call and far off howls of wolves met his magic. He turned and entered his sanctuary, safe in the knowlege that the wolves would soon reach his grounds and keep unwanted guests away.

He entered the dungeon, this time he bound Nadya with the rope she had so carelessly left behind, he gagged her again. Then stripped her bare, using more bindings to cover most of her naked flesh. Then he turned to the awakening Rosa-Anne, who was of course also naked bound to a chair in plain view of Nadya. Her long black hair gleamed in the torch light, her long limbs well formed without severe definition, her body curved enough to make men believe in all the dark desires she promise to fulfil. Her dark brown eyes slowly opened and then focused on hom, she started cursing and he smiled as he hunched down, looking at her with an evil grin.

"At least you got the words right."

He turned and looked at Nadya who was also coming to,

"Ah she awake, your best friend in the world."

Rosa of course swore at him, but he just smiled, then as he rose, he slashed her across the face, causing a terror filled scream to echo through the room.

"Shut up bitch, you are not in control here. A fact you better learn quickly."

He pushed her head to one side and bit into the flesh just under her collarbone, ripping out a piece, again she screamed. He spat out the flesh and laughed maniacally,

"You scream a lot for somebody so big."

He licked her blood from his lips and moved to the torture rack, pulling the dagger from it, he walked to Rosa, to her credit she did not utter a word until he started to cut her face, when she screamed again, he slashed across her mouth, laying her open from one side of her jaw to the other, then grabbed her tongue and without further qualms used the dagger to cut it out. The screams changed into gurgling chokes. He tossed the piece of flesh away and looked back at Nadya.

"You were saying?"

He grinned,

"Oh yes you can't."

He continued to cut Rosa-Anne's face. When she finally passed out, he cast his dark healing spell and she whimpered pitifully as the pain racked her body as it started to knit itself together. He moved to stand behind Rosa so that Nadya could see that no mark remained.

"Enjoying the show yet?"

 

[lmcms]

Nadya came too slowly to the sounds of screams and pleas. Her head hurt like a bitch and her abdomen ached but she welcomed the pain because at least it let her know she was still alive. There for a moment out by the gate she had been sure he would kill her in his furry. So feeling pain was a relief to her it showed she was alive. She opened her eyes to see what was going on and watched as Corvus sliced into Rosa. Even if she hadn't been gaged she wouldn't have said a word. She wandered what his game was. If he wasn't going to let Rosa torture her why bring Rosa to torture it made no since to Nadya.

When Corvus moved behind Rosa so Nadya could watch the painful healing Nadya watched and studied she wandered if she whimpered and carried on that much though she didn't think so. Still she would play with Corvus even though she was unsure if they were playing the same game.

"Please tell me even though I was gagged I had more dignity than that." She spoke into his mind her voice sounding a bit haughty as she spoke to him.

 

[DeathsKnight]

He grinned,

"Not really."

He held up his forefinger and thumb a bit apart from each other,

"Maybe a bit more."

He slapped Rosa lightly on her cheeks to wake her up again,

"So Nadya has decided to go ahead and grow her power Rosa. She is so much stronger than you now."

He ran the edge of the knife over Rosa's chest just above her breasts, blood flowing almost instantly.

"You know what Rosa's biggest fear is Nadya?"

He poked one breast with the tip of the black dagger,

"Losing her greatest assests..."

The blood draining from Rosa's face proved his words to be true,

"Should I punish her just like she had punished you?"

 

[lmcms]

Nadya watched both Corvus and Rosa not sure who he was always talking to or if he was just talking to himself. She saw the pleading in Rosa's eyes for her to do something anything to help her. Nadya wasn't the vengeful short and she knew this was mostly likely a test for her. She gave Rosa a look of pitty for there was really nothing else she could do at the moment and then focused soley on Corvus.

"You will do what pleases you what I say matters not." She told him in his head.

Rosa could not here her speak and as confussed and as in pain as she was it seemed she thought Corvus was speaking to her and nodded that he should work Nadya over. Nadya ignored her and kept her focus on Corvus.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Corvus grinned his wicked grin,

"Actually Nadya you will have to learn that as a ruler if you are given a choice, you voice your own way. That makes it easier to learn to make decisions and it also learns one to shoulder your own responsibilities."

He allowed heat to flow into the blade of the dagger, it grew hot and as the temprature increased so did the color of the blade, it went through the shades of red and orange until it was white and shimmering in the light of the dungeon.

"All you had to do was voice your opinion."

With this he took hold of Rosa's left breast, her shock mirrored in her eyes as she realized what was to follow. Her pleading fell on deaf ears as the dagger descended and started cutting, the screams as the flesh and blood sizzled against the blade a sweet sound to him. He tossed the flesh aside and used his magic to revive Rosa who had passed out.

"And now because you did not voice your opinion and told me to not do it, you have doomed her to live without breasts."

He paused,

"Yes I would have stopped if you told me to."

He grinned,

"This is to be one of your subjects once you ascend the position of queen."

Again the dagger descended and cauturized the wound as the white hot blade slid through the flesh. This time he allowed the passed out Rosa her sweet reprieve as he moved over to Nadya. He leaned close to her face,

"Want to know why she hate you so much little one?"

He grinned,

"You can speak to the mind, I can read it. She always hated that you were born into a powerful family, that you had powers and she didn't, that even in that age you were sought after by the males and she not. She hated the fact that she had to become a slut for some attention, while you got it all."

He smirked,

"And of course she coveted your position."

His grin broadened,

"And I know your fear little one."

 

[lmcms]

Nadya watched through cold eyes as he tormented Rosa and as she watched she learned more of herself. If she had believed but for one instance that her opinion would have made a diffrence she would have choosen to show mercy. When Rosa fainted from the pain and as well Nadya knew from shame, Nadya only looked at her with pity. Even as Corvus talked about the lesson for her to learn was to voice her opinion she learned a different one she learned how far she would go for her people even those that opossed her. She was not her great grandfather and she was not greedy.

Nadya closed her eyes and using the new powers she had been granted healed Rosa taking the wond into herself. She hissed in a breath through her nose as the pain hit and slowly opened her eyes to stare into the eyes of Corvus.

"You may well know my fear and I've no shame in what I fear. I do not wish those of weak mind and body ill but I pity them and gather them close under my wing. I may be his great granddaughter but him I'll never be."

She stopped and looked into his eyes deeper and deeper still seeking the knowledge of his pain. Once she found the well from wince his pain welled she did nothing but let him know she was there and she saw what no other could. She pulled back from the depth and focused again on the present.

"You are not weak of mind or body Corvus but with time you have grown weak of heart. For that his line deserves punishment for bringing a man of strength to a weakness of heart." She said softly smoothly and waited for retalition she was sure would come, for both healing Rosa and looking into him.

 

[DeathsKnight]

"Perhaps, but what is there to have a heart for, if all was taken from you? You may think you know me little one."

He placed his hand on her forehead, quite certain that she had no defenses against him as the ropes still drained most of her powers.

"But let me show you who I really am."

Power surged from him into her through her mind, pain seared into her very soul, so severe that she would have curled into a ball if she was not bound. He knew this pain as it was the same pain he had gone through. It burned like fire, yet it was colder than blue ice, every little part felt like bursting and at the same felt si small that the body was nothing, the mind could not handle this pain, yet it couldn't switch off, death seemed an answer and the only way to stop the pain, yet there is no way to find it. He removed his hand, waiting patiently for her to gather her mind again,

"That was how it started."

He rested his talons under her chin and dug them into her flesh,

"You think that I am pettiful? Bringing harm and sorrow to those who doesn't deserve it?"

He motioned at the slumped form of Rosa,

"You take her pain, yet you can not restore the wound. You think she will be thankful to you? Or will she rather turn to me to learn the arts, to also gain power?"

He smirked,

"My weak heart is cold and cruel it is true, but I have learned more about you than you wished to share."

He muttered a spell and his mind blanked out her influece and magic, he turned away from her to face his other captive.

"She would rather die than live in shame."

He looked over his shoulder,

"Should I release her from her fleshy shell?"

He tapped his head,

"Just nod or shake your head, I can't hear you."

 

[lmcms]

Nadya closed her eyes and used the last of her strength searching into Rosa's unconsious mind. For her she knew life would a mercy but she knew not all were as strong willed as herself and hoping he would again take her word she searched Rosa's mind to see what would be more mercifull for the girl. To end her surfacing now or to let her live mutilated. Nadya took deep calming breaths as her strength wavered searching out the answer. She saw the girl would indeed rather die than suffer as she was or live with her wounds.

Nadya wanted to tell Corvus yes but she also wanted for it to be quick and merciful but with him blocking her and her strength lagging there was no way to communicate with him other than how he had indicated with a nod or shake of her head.

Looking Corvus straight in the eye she simply nodded her head but her eyes asked what she could not for a quick and merciful death to end the girl's suffering.

 

[DeathsKnight]

He smirked,

"Then live she shall!"

He knew it was not what she had wanted, but of course he had not been truly honest with her. There was no need for him to be. He unbound the unconscious girl and tilted her head.

"But for her vanity she will have to remember this evening."

He rested his finger on her forehead, just under the hairline. A sizzling sound started and when he removed his finger she had a dark mark. He licked the talon on his pinky, smiling at Nadya.

"And no it can't be removed."

He carried her away and shortly returned, he dragged the blood drenched chair over to Nadya and sat down on it.

"What to do with you."

 

[lmcms]

Nadya growled behind the gag. She should have known better that whatever she said made no diffrence to him he would do what he willed no matter what. She stared diffiantely at him as he pulled up the chair and sat before. When he asked what he was to do with her she knew deep in her soul she cared not. Even if she could talk with her mouth or to his mind she wouldn't reply for anything she said would most likely be unheard anyway. So she sat and stared at him even with the pain coursing through her body she sat straight showing no outward sign.

Nadya slowly worked on cutting the link between herself and her emotions. She would no longer allow herself to feel, to worry about what may come she would only allow calm acceptance. However she knew blocking her emotions would not stop the physical pain he was sure to make her endure, but again she resolved she would take it without a word she maynot always beable to stop the tears but she could refuse sound.

 

[DeathsKnight]

He leaned forward,

"So curious that you are not shamed by your nudity."

He shrugged,

"Perhaps your customs have changed in the passed years."

He reached out, his hand seemingly aiming for her crotch, but his talons dug into the top of her thigh at the juncture between hip and leg. He slowly drew his hand down her leg, the flesh parting under his nails. He placed a hand against her forehead, energy flowing from him and the next moment a wail of anguish echoed from somewhere in his dwelling. He grinned,

"Seems like your friend is feeling your pain."

He laughed and suddenly slapped her hard, then he prodded the open wounds, digging deeper, a look of disgust came over his face,

"The bitch passed out again. You got bested by that kind of shit?"

He got up, licking at the blood on his nails and hand, moving over to the table with his imlements, he stopped and stared down at his collection.

 

[lmcms]

Nadya didn't move or say a word her eyes remained on his as he moved around the room toward the now hated table. The pain was tremendous and it took everything she had had not to scream or cry. His insult about Rosa besting her didn't effect her at all only she had known the circumstances and she knew it had been her own fault for letting her guard down just like when Corvus abducted her.

She watched him wearily as the pain coarsed through her body. She figured maybe the pain wasn't such a bad thing after all at least it proved she was still amoung the living. With that thought in mine the pain became easier to accept.

 

[DeathsKnight]

"Nadya, Nadya..."

He picked up a flask and a silver stake, he walked back to her,

"You believe that you deserve the punishment, even with your pain you dare to drain your powers to take more pain onto yourself."

He sat down and looked at her, then he smiled, it was as human a smile as he could manage,

"So lovely, so brave, so strong...if I was my old self I may have tried to win your heart."

He leaned back in the chair, idly toying with the stake,

"I wasn't a bad man, I healed those who could not afford healers, I tended to hurt animals, tended trees...I wasn't like I am now."

He held out his hand and healing magick flowed into her thigh, knitting it closed, there was no extra pain, just a gentle warmth. The pain of the wound left her system and he sat back into the chair again. Then he stood up, moved to her left side and raised the spike up, bringing his hand down, he drove the stake through her arm to impale it to the armsrest of the chair, immediately it started to glow, a blood activated negation rod. He removed her gag,

"Don't waste your time trying to curse me, the stake will counter any magic you direct at me."

He removed the stopper on the flask and lifted it to her lips, offering a drink of cold water to her.

 

[lmcms]

Nadya was suprised by his gentle healing of her thigh and the pain. She hadn't expected him to be so gentle about it, she expected if he healed her again it would be the pain of before. She soon realized his seeminly tenderness was just another form torture. With the pain mostly gone when the spike slammed into her arm it only spiked instantly back up along with a bigger drain on her arm. She wasn't sure how she managed to keep from screaming but she kept her promise to herself and stayed silent though she did breifly close her eyes.

She listened to him talk about how it was no use to curse him before he removed the gag from her mouth. She opened her eyes and watched him as he removed the stopped from the flask and held it to her lips. She swallowed slow small sips knowing if she took more she would make herself sick. She wandered absently how he would know that she believed she deserved her punishment but still think she would curse him using her voice when she would take more pain. Her emotions were still dead inside her. As she sipped slowly of the cool liquid she wanted to moan as it slid down her parched throat but she managed to hold back. She watched him caustiously as she continued taking small slow sips. She still would not speak anymore not a sound just as she had promised herself at least for now.

 

[DeathsKnight]

He let her drink until she was finished, then he drank of the water, draining the flask. He placed it on the table, then he returned to his seat. A curious light in his eyes as he inspected her.

"Let us talk, tell me of your grandfather. I know he still lives. Also tell me of your grandmother, I also know that she still lives."

He sat down on the chair, seemingly to savour the blood which coated it,

"Are they well? Do they teach the old ways still or have the younger generations walked away from the old paths and embrace the new believes?"

With a sigh he waved his hands, darkness seemed to flow from the shadows and cover her naked body.

 

[lmcms]

When he took the water from her and drank the rest of it Nadya kept her cool eyes on him taking in the pain reminding herself that if she could still feel the pain she was well and alive, at least alive anyway. She listened to his question and request and wandered if she should answer him. It seemed that not now he wanted to catch up like old friends but she believed that there was more to it than that. When the shadows moved forward to cover her nudity she shivered at the chill they brought with them.

She debated if she should speak but finally decided that if she didn’t he would probably hurt her or Rosa and even though she didn’t like Rosa she was still a part of her people, and as such it was Nadya’s job to do her best to protect her.

“They are both alive my grandfather is sick the past couple of years but he seems to stuborn to just die and let the rest of us live in peace. My grandmother does what she can to make peace she still radiates beauty and peace. She does most of the teachings for our people telling us of our history while being open to new ways as well. I believe she does a great job of keeping tradition while letting us grow as time around us does.” Nadya informed him.

 

[DeathsKnight]

He nodded, leaning back into the chair he stared at a point just past Nadya, his eyes distant and unfocused. He suddenly got to his feet,

"Sounds just like they were long ago."

He replaced the gag and pulled the stake from her arm, looking at the blood seeping from the gaping wound, he bent down and slowly ran his tongue over the wound, taking in the taste and in a lesser degree gaining blood-knowledge of some of her powers. He placed a hand on the wound and dark magic flowed from him into the wound, bringing the pain. He sat down on his haunches, watching her as the wound closed.

"Enough for one day. I have to fix Rosa up and take her back, the only thing she will remember is the pain and perhaps the mercy you showed her by keeping her alive."

He got up and shrugged apologatically,

"Off course I can not trust you to behave, so I will just leave you here to think about today. I will return."

He paused at the entrance way,

"Oh and Rosa's pain and scars? They will be no more. I may be a monster, but at times I am not that bad."

With a soft laugh he left the room.
