Katherine stood in the library of her prision. The day had started out sunny, but now darkness flooded the skies. It had been three days since she had seen her sister, three days since Horatio McFalcon had brought her here. She heard a shuffle in the corner, and turned from the window. Her eyes rested for just a moment on Lucian, her guard. He went everywhere with her, except the privy, then it was Maggie's watch.

Horatio had not yet touched her, for that Katherine was thankful, but she knew that it would not be long. She had heard the noises from behind the wall of her bedroom. When she had awoke in the middle of the night, that first day, she had been shoved into her room, she at first had not known where the noises were coming from. Then to her horror she knew it was from the room next to hers. It was then that she understood that she stayed in the Mistress of the keep's bedchambor, that connected with the Lords chamber.

She had shuddered and buried her head in her pillows trying to drown out the sounds that had disturbed her rest. The woman behind the wall had pleaded off and on throughout the night. Sounds of thumps and smacks disturbed Katherine, and her heart was often in her throat. She feared not only for herself, but for the woman in the room next to hers. Her fear had driven her to move to the connecting door, but fear had also kept her from opening it, or saying anything through it.

That night she had finally cried herself to sleep again. The silent sobs of her tears were drowned out by the low moanful wails of the woman behind the wall. The following morning, Katherine had been taken from her room and led down to Horatio, she had passed a small woman and had noticed her bruised face and swollen lips. The young girl had walked slowly, as if she were in greater pain then the wounds that she could not hide. Katherine had known then that the woman had been the one from last night.


The meeting with Horatio was quick and simple. She would be allowed to roam the castle and a small fraction of the grounds under the watchful eye of Lucian or Maggie. She was to dine with him, whenever he was available and it was not an option for her to decline. He had informed her that a missive had been sent to her father so it would only be a matter of a week or a bit more before he arrived. She had asked what he wanted from her father, yet he refused to answer.

He had ordered her stipped of her clothing, bathed and then fed, having refused to do all these things when she had arrived. He had left his study for a brief moment, and Katherine had quickly moved around the room, looking for some weapon or some secret door to the outside world. As she hurried through her search, Horatio had come back, laughed at her and presented her to Lucian and Maggie.

Now, she looked at Lucian, she had no love for the man, nor any hate, he was just there. He refused to talk with her, unless it was necessary as well as he refused to allow her from his sight. When she had to take care of personal needs, he would take her to Maggie and thus Maggie's watch would begin. Maggie was the opposite of Lucian, she would constantly talk to Katherine, telling her how the Lord would use his women for a few days and then have nothing more to do with them. She would tell Katherine of different ways he would take his women, and she explained that most women he eventually tired of and he sent away.

Katherine would shudder when she had to be with Maggie, wishing for the silence of Lucian over the horrific tales of Horatio's escapades. Another night of unrest, and another night of screams came from behind her wall, however this night was different. This night, the sounds had ended suddenly. Katherine's heart had caught and she had pressed her ear to the wall, all she heard was the shuffling of feet, then Horatio's bellow for his steward. She heard the hurried footsteps that moved around his room, the mumble of voices and then nothing.

The following morning as she and Maggie headed to the privy, Maggie chattered on how young Miss Sally had passed away sometime during the night. Katherine had felt the blood drain from her face, and though Maggie told her that Miss Sally had been sick for a long time, Katherine knew that Sally had been the woman in Horatio's room last night. Her fears were only confirmed when she searched for the young bruised woman she had seen the day before.

Today Katherine waited for the axe to fall, it would be soon, she knew this. Horatio had lost a toy and she was easily accessible, she tried to think of ways she could escape him. Her thoughts had run quickly, from over taking Maggie, to attempting to seduce Lucian into wanting to fall in love with her and perhaps help her escape, but these thoughts dismissed themselves from her mind. Maggie though small, was fiesty and even though she was allowed privacy with Maggie, Lucian was never far. Her plan of seduction on Lucian wouldn't work, since she had found out from Maggie that Lucian preferred young men.

Katherine turned back to the window and took in the rain that spattered down hitting the walls of the keep. She heard the library door open and smelled the stentch of Maggie's unwashed body and clothing. Wrinkling her nose, Katherine stiffened herself, as Maggie walked towards her.

"Your to bathe Miss," Maggie's voice scratchy and hoarse came to her.

Katherine looked at her, a question in her eyes. "I just bathed this morning. I've not gone anywhere, done anything, so I am far from needing another bath."

Maggie shrugged her shoulders and wrapped her hand around Katherine's wrist, "The Lord says to bring you to him this evenin', bathed and prepared."

The gasp that escaped Katherine filled the room, her body began to shake and her eyes closed, as her body slowly started to sway. Lucian had quickly risen and caught her, then helped her sit on the small chair behind Horatio's desk. Katherine's eyes refused to open, her body slowly shaking as the sounds of the Miss Sally returned to haunt her mind. Lucian moved back to his place in the corner and Maggie stood there watching her.

Katherine placed her hands on the desk and her head on her hands. She tried to take calming breaths, and think of some way to avoid what she feared would happen. Maggie turned away, and sat down on the small stool near Lucian and waited. Katherine's tears slowly fell to the floor, as she took a deep breath, she felt something reaching for her. Breathing deeply, she focused on the feeling that was coming over her. "Desiree," she whispered. Her sisters face became clear to her. Her sister was coming to save her. Katherine felt it, she sensed it and with this new knowledge, she swore that she would endure Horatio McFalcon and then kill him in the end.

She stood up and moved from the desk, her back straight, her eyes focused on the library door. Her composure was regal as she accepted her fate. One solemn vow pressed into her mind. Horatio would not find her so easy to dispose of as Miss Sally, though her body would be used he would not break her spirit. Desiree was coming and Desiree would save her. Desiree would bring her home.

Lucian and Maggie followed the Lady from the library, each ones' heart as black as their Lord's, for they would do nothing to help the beautiful Mistress.
