Death Sentence?

"Too long," he answered truthfully. There had been more than one occasion when he'd gone out at night to hunt deer simply out of boredom. He smiled broadly at her and the manner in which she'd addressed him. She was rather good at stroking his ego, he decided. Pulling himself up to sit on the edge of the bed, he leaned over and unclasped her collar. "Well, now that you're not a pet, I think we'd better get you back to your room before anyone notices that you're gone," he said gently and stood. He picked up her nightgown, and with a smile and tone that were completely transparent, he suggested in a very male, provocative tone, "This is somewhat torn, perhaps I ought to just carry you as you are?"

He offered her his hand, tucking the nightgown into his belt, and continued on, "I think we have to introduce you in court today, let you meet the knights in particular. Which means you're going to have to let the handmaidens fuss over you a bit this morning."
 
She smiled as he unclasped her collar, a symbolicf transition from pet to lady of the court again. She stood, feeling his ego grow when she addressed him as lord, and couldn't help but to laugh inwardly at how easy it was to bring this man pleasure. She moved to him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I will begin preparing for the day when I get to the room, My Lord Viktor." She whispered in a soft voice into his ear, her tone laced with seduction, just to tease him a bit.

"I believe I will present myself more as an Elf today, but yes, I will have the handmaidens fuss and have their fun." She made a slight face at it, but in a moment she was calm again. Meeting nights, going to court, being dressed up like a doll... There was far too much politics in this for her tastes.
 
Something about everything she was doing put Viktor on edge. She was being too accommodating, too seductive... he was sure she was up to something, or at least teasing him, but he couldn't exactly help feeling a little chill of excitement as she whispered in his ear and placed herself in his arms. No matter, he had his own plans for today. A few moments later, he was carrying her, naked, across the top of the castle, clearing air in heaving jumps and clinging to walls with feline grace.

He gently dropped her off on her own floor and with a formal bow, he had leaped back out of her window and was gone. He made a point of making some noise as he moved off, but immediately started to climb back down until he was perched just outside her window, listening and waiting.

* * *

A few hours later Ellyn woke in her chambers to the first pricks of sunlight through her window. She stretched, and woke, remembering the previous day. When she remembered Lady Kaura, she quickly put on a dressing gown over her night gown and opened her door. She hurried up the hall in her bare feet, stopping outside of Lady Kaura's door. She was about to knock when she realized that her charge might not be awake yet. She debated, her cheeks blushing, and finally she could take the curiosity no more. She knocked.

* * *

Outside the window, Viktor sniffed the air when he heard the knock. It was Maid Ellyn, no doubt about it. He'd guessed right that she'd be the first at Kaura's door. He kept his mood neutral until he heard the door swing open, and then he immediately flooded his mind with the most lustful pictures he could imagine... especially ones that featured Kaura and Ellyn touching... and licking each other.
 
Kaura clung close as he lept over the rooftops, speeding back to her room. The cold morning air made her shiver slightly, making the fact that she was naked all the more apparent. Finally they reached her window, and he set her in with a low and formal bow, leaping out again. She could hear him leave, a bit too loudly for the silent way he normally moved. He did seem to get further, before she could feel him return. She chuckled to herself. Did he think he could trick her when she could sense him in her mind?

She pulled down a thick bath robe, and tied up her hair as if she had just washed, letting herself appear as though she were preparing for the day, rather than simply returning from a night acting as their lord's whore.

Within a few minutes she heard a soft knocking at the door, and smiled, opening it slowly. As soon as it swung open, she felt Viktor flood with lust. Her cheeks heated considerably. "Good morning, Miss Ellyn." She said, her voice only slightly heated. "Wont you come in? I'll have something to eat brought up while we prepare for the day."
 
Viktor, unaware that Kaura could sense even the distance between them because of her newfound talent, had assumed that she thought he was on the other side of the castle. When she answered the door, however, he was suspicious that he had not managed to be as sneaky as he intended. Obviously Kaura had been ready for something; there was only the smallest note in her voice that betrayed some modicum of having been thrown off by his lust coinciding with Ellyn's arrival.

Ellyn, on the other hand, was simply happy to find that Lady Kaura seemed to be in quite a pleasant, friendly mood. She'd heard stories from the other girls, while she'd been away from Kaura's side, that elves were often... less than appreciative of other races. She hadn't noticed Kaura being mean to her the previous day, but she wasn't sure about waking up an elvish noblewoman either. "Thank you, Lady Kaura, that would be quite lovely," she said, blushing then entering the room and taking a seat in front of the large looking glass in Kaura's room. She felt a little shy all of a sudden, but was glad that she'd been invited in.

Viktor realized at this point that he had things to do. Keeping the images of the two women undressing themselves for his pleasure fresh in his mind, he once again started to climb up the tower. Very soon there would be people all over the castle courtyard, and it wouldn't do to get caught jumping over the rooftops. Hurrying back to his own chambers, he called a page and sent a few messages about Lady Kaura being introduced at court today. He was quite certain that in a few minutes, most of the castle would be abuzz... and a small horde of attendants would be flooding Kaura's room.
 
Kaura could feel the touch of disappointment flowing from Viktor, obviously he didn't remember about the connection, or perhaps he just didn't realize she could sense how far he was from her now. For her own part, Kaura did the best to ignore the slight dampness between her thighs that Viktors thoughts had helped to cause, and she busied herself with finding the pitcher of water, and a second large ornate glass to pour it into. By now the ice had melted, but the water was still fairly cook, and Kaura poured both glasses with her usual flowing grace, giving the young lady Ellyn a pleasant smile before sitting herself. "You seem well this morning." She commented softly, smiling, "I trust you had a pleasant evening?"

She barely managed to ask the question when there was a second knock at the door, and almost immediately after it swung open, several attendants flooding into the large room. Kaura raised a brow for a moment, setting down her glass with the slightest of taps on the table, a sign of aggravation she doubted any human would notice for how noisy they tended to be. "Good morning." She told the ladies as they bustled through the room, and hesitantly stepping behind Kaura to let down her hair and she began attacking it with a brush. They alerted her with wide smiles that she would be seen in court today, and Kaura forced a pleasant smile on her face. "Elves are not usually fussed over." She told them in a quiet but firm voice, "I do appreciate your attention, but if I am to be introduced, I would prefer it to be as myself."
 
"Yes, I had a nice dinner and slept well," Ellyn lied. In truth, she'd been thinking too much to get more than four or five hours sleep, but she'd been excited to wake. She so much didn't want to be like all the other pestering people in the castle, as she remembered how difficult it had been when she first left her father's house to come here and everyone was constantly looking at her, the new girl; still, she couldn't supress her own interest in Kaura. She'd felt very fortunate to be charged with showing the lovely elf around, and she was determined to make this place as nice a home for Kaura as she'd found it to be.

Ellyn actually looked about as panicked as Kaura seemed annoyed when the gaggle of attendants revealed themselves behind the opening door. This was bringing back difficult memories of her own introduction at court. Every time a new girl came, she supposed, it would be the same. Why was everyone so keen on trying to get Lord Viktor married?

When Kaura made a small protest to the women, which Ellyn fully expected would go more or less unnoticed by the group, Ellyn's face broke into a smile so broad it was slighty unladylike. In that instant, she knew she liked Kaura. Whatever the tales were of elvish arrogance, Kaura didn't sound like the type to put on haughty airs, demand to be thought of as the prettiest in the room (although that would be pretty easy for her to do, Ellyn noted), or order others around.

As she expected, the attendants, several of them older nanny types, still descended on the pair with arguments like "Do not trouble yourself, Lady Kaura, we will be quick" and "Yes, yes deary, we'll just do a little with that lovely hair of yours" which, of course, were either miscommunications, or outright lies as Ellyn well knew. She felt like she needed to do something to rescue both of them out of this frenzy.

"Ladies, could some of you come start on my hair," she said to try to distract a few, then added, taking a chance at how Kaura would react to it, "We have a morning ride planned, as Lord Viktor has instructed me personally to show Lady Kaura the countryside grounds, so something simple to keep the wind from attacking us is all we need for now." She sheepishly turned her eyes to Kaura, blushing slightly and trying to say that she hoped this was alright with her eyes. Her voice wavered a little as she asked, "Is.. isn't that right, Lady Kaura?"
 
Kaura smiled at the attendants, gently taking the comb. “I am sure you would do a simply wonderful job with my hair.” She told the ladies with a smile. “But it would only serve to be ruined in the ride Lady Ellyn plans to take me on.” She smiled, gently taking the brush from the elderly woman’s hand with a smile, hushing her protest with soothing words. “I am afraid I am not very well educated on human fashions. Perhaps you could find me a nice dress to ride it? Nothing fancy, just a divided skirt and a dark color that won’t show dust, if you would.”

She smiled, and ran the brush through her hair, combing out tangles from the rough night with Victor. She was grateful for the bath that washed the cum off her, but still she had to fight out a few snags, until the deep flue lock fell smoothly down her back. She grabbed a silky black ribbon and tied it carefully back, brushing it so it looked presentable before she stood. She smiled at the maids, warm and friendly. “Have you found a nice gown, dear ladies?” She asked lightly, standing gracefully, “Today promises to be quite busy, and I did promise Miss Ellyn a morning ride. Perhaps when we return you can fix my hair in a pretty human style?”
 
Ellyn smiled again into the mirror, happy that Lady Kaura seemed to have latched onto her idea and amused at the way Kaura had maneuvered herself out of the primping and preening of the attendants. She quickly requested her own riding outfit, which sent more of the women out of the room, keeping them occupied. Within a few minutes they were dressed in the requested split skirt dresses, which flowed enough that one couldn't tell they were split without specifically looking for it, Kaura's a dark green dress that the attendants had insisted on dressing her in themselves and Ellyn's a dark blue that went with her blue eyes. Both looked like they'd handle dirt reasonably well.

As they walked towards the stables, Ellyn whispered, "Thank you for taking me up on this ride, Lady Kaura. I... well... I thought that perhaps you'd like to get away from the castle for the day." She blushed as she finished, quickly changing the subject. "You see those two large black horses, the stallion and the mare?" she began, still blushing a bit, "Those are Lord Viktor's personal horses, Shade and Nightingale. He doesn't ride any others for some reason. Some say it's because he isn't a very accomplished rider and he can only handle the calmest of mounts, but I do not personally believe it." She blushed again, unsure of why she was sharing so much of her own opinion with Lady Kaura. She certainly didn't want to be a gossip, but... she really was starting to like Kaura.

Ellyn turned to the stable attendant and requested two of her favorite horses for the two ladies to ride, and at that moment a rush of lust that could only be Viktor's flowed to Kaura. Footstep by footstep it grew as, clearly, Viktor was moving towards them. Across the courtyard, the keep door swung open and a bright shining figure stepped out. As the figure moved, it became clear that he was a knight dressed in the most ridiculously decorated and highly polished suit of armor, complete with a bright red cape that billowed behind the brown haired young man. His face and eyes were youthful and energetic. Ellyn was about to whisper to Kaura that this was Sir Rowan, but in a few more steps the two men were going to be in earshot. Viktor was behind Rowan, wearing his own suit of formal armor, which was almost completely black except for two elegant ravens depicted in silver that adorned his breastplate. He also wore a matching black cape, but his was hardly as long or ostentatious as Sir Rowan's.

Rowan closed the distance between himself and the two ladies quickly, strolling right to Kaura and taking her hand in his with a deep bow. He kissed the back of her hand very softly and, straightening up, said, "Lady Kaura, I am quite pleased to make your acquaintance. I am Sir Rowan, at your service, and I'm very pleased to find that, far from being exaggerated, the rumors of your surpassing beauty do not even do yourself justice." Behind him, Viktor's face was placid, but the amusement he felt was clear and distinct amidst the lust he kept because of Ellyn's presence with Kaura.

"Sir Rowan insisted on meeting you the moment he heard that you two ladies were going to be soon leaving on a morning ride together," Viktor explained.
 
Kaura finished tying back her hair as the maids left, searching for a riding dress. She let the maids have their fun buttoning and lacing the forest green gown once they returned, resisting the urge to shake her head. Obviously these humans had heard that Elves liked Earthen tones, a common enough idea that Kaura did not honestly mind too badly, as long as the fabric was durable and well suited for their ride.

Once dressed she followed Ellyn outside, walking behind her to the stables. She listened carefully to the explanation of the two large midnight black horses. She suspected immediately that Viktors choice in horses might be related to his unique species, and half suspected the horses where specifically trained to suit his needs, rather than a humans.

She was still thinking when she felt a wave of lust, and half turned towards the quiet sound of boots behind her. A door swung open and two figures strolled out, one dressed in silvery armor that shined brightly in the sunlight, while Viktor was dressed in midnight black armor, with ravens decorating his chestplate. The man in white seemed comically flamboyant next to Viktor, who Kaura had to admit looked unbelievably attractive in the dark armor.

She bowed to both, keeping herself looking dignified, even as the lust flowed into her from Viktor. "It is an honor to meet you, Sir Rowen." She said with a dip of her head. "You flatter me, sir, and do not give my escort justice, such a beauty is rare among my people." She smiled slightly, hoping to attract some of the interest back to Miss Ellyn, who she did honestly see as a lovely young woman. It was almost irritating to her that she received so much attention and praise when it Ellyn's presence, and hoped that it would not make the girl envious. She personally did not believe her appearance had much to do with the attention, but rather the rarity of her species that attracted so many eyes.
 
Viktor allowed his lust to flash harder at Kaura's mention of Ellyn's beauty (making his armor a bit... uncomfortable and wondering if Kaura had realized what he was playing at yet), but then he almost smiled. If Kaura thought she could deflect Rowan that easily, she didn't realize what she was dealing with. "Ah yes, Lady Kaura, truly there have never been such a lovely pair of companions," he said with a flourish of his hand towards Ellyn and a nod, "and Miss Ellyn is known to be among the kindest and most admirable beauties in my liege's court." Then he offered a friendly smile to Ellyn, but, notably, he took a step closer to Kaura not her companion. He spoke in lower tones, so that it would seem that he only wanted the two ladies to hear, "In fact, I have not had the honor of wearing Miss Ellyn's favor in a contest, though I certainly would not have refused it. I believe that her affections lie elsewhere and I respect her disposition in the matter. Perhaps, though, I may be more fortunate in your case, lovely Lady Kaura."

Ellyn's cheeks flushed bright red and her eyes flitted over to Viktor and then away towards a bail of hay that she seemed suddenly fascinated with. Viktor, for his part, looked (and felt) as if he were having to restrain himself from rolling his eyes. Behind them, the stable attendant was walking one brown and one bright white mare, fully saddled, towards the small party. Viktor, subtly, took several steps backwards as he approached. One of the horses, neighed nervously and refused to go any further. "I'm sorry Miss Ellyn, Beth seems a little spirited this morning," the attendant said.

Ellyn, grateful for any break in the current conversation, turned and said, "Ah, that is quite odd," and moved to comfort the horse. She waited there for Kaura to finish speaking with Sir Rowan, happy to be a little ways removed.
 
Kaura could feel Viktors lust swell again when she spoke, and wondered why he was trying to tease her. Her cheeks tinged pink, a slight flush that she silently prayed Sir Rowan would not notice. She almost frowned when his attention dipped to Ellyn for a moment before he turned his favor back to her. She bowed her head slightly, a slight polite nod as he took a step towards her. She stood her own ground, and shifted her weight forward, arching an angled brow upwards for a moment. She doubted he would catch the very slight sign of aggression. After all, he was neither an Elf who understood their subtle mannerisms, nor did he know that she was any more than a spoiled Elven lady.

She smiled, a touch of fire in her eyes, a competitive glint that sparked to life when she thought of how she would humble this pompous man. "I do not give my favor with ease, Sir Rowan." She told him as she turned to watch the stable horses approach, one bucking slightly, tossing its head before refusing to come any further. Her eyes darted to Viktor for a moment, knowing it was his presence that spooked the animal. It was a brief look, before her attention was again on the overly ornate knight. "But I do not believe I would be wrong in assuming you suspected this already."

She took a step to follow Ellyn, putting a hand on the muzzle of the frightened animal to sooth it. She stroked it gently, whispering under her breath in a language too ancient for humans to understand, but the horses ears perked for a moment before it calmed, pushing it's head forward to stroke into Kaura's hand more firmly.
 
Viktor's amusement fell a little at this new turn in their conversation, which he assumed he was not meant to be privy to, though obviously Kaura knew he'd heard every word. Was she teasing Rowan, knowing how he'd likely react? Wonderful, that would cause some chaos in the court. Rowan was hardly the brightest of his knights, but Viktor knew the young man was determined, bold... and brash. There's no telling what he might do to try to impress Kaura. And... part of him was slightly concerned at how far she might carry it. That flash of fire in her eyes made his narrow a little. He tried to bury the hot feeling he was feeling around his collar, a blush of Kaura's own blood touching his cheeks, but he was obviously distracted and his concentrated lust wavered.

As if reading Viktor's mind, Rowan recovered from an open-mouthed moment of fluster to walk over to the horses, offering to help first Ellyn into her mount, then Kaura, with the obvious object being to talk to her a moment longer. "But of course, my Lady. At your service, I assure you," he began to Kaura, "I shall attempt to outshine myself that I might secure your good opinion! May all my quests be in your name, good lady."

Ellyn was obviously growing tired of Rowan's professions of devotion and started her horse forward. It had amazed her that Kaura could speak to the horse and calm her down. She wanted to ask about it, but not in front of Rowan.
 
Kaura could have laughed when she felt Viktors amusement falter, his lust diminishing. She couldn't feel any jealousy yet, but there was an edge of conern in his mind. She would have to see just how rash this man could act before she tooks things far. She ignored the urge to refuse his help onto her mount, allowing the man the simple, if unnecissary aid before she took the reigns and turned the horse from both armored men. "I look forward to our next meeting, Sir Rowan, may the day shine fairly on you. And to you as well, Lord Viktor." Her eyes locked onto his, gleaming with play as she caught his slight flush, and she dipped her head slightly.

She leaned forward to speak quietly into the ear of the horse in the same soft language she had used to calm it before. The animal stgepped forward without another urging, trotting to follow Ellyn.

She waited until they were well out of hearing range of the two men to turn slightly to the other woman. "I can see quite plainly why the Night Rowan has yet to be wed." She said with a degree of amusement, she smiled at the other woman brightly. "Not even in my culture is such a degree of flamboyancy considered flattery."

She stroked her mare again as it tossed it's head nervously, and she watched it with concern. She blinked, realizing that in her amusement she had stopped listening to the sounds of the forest around them, and they had already traveled in quite deep. She could hear the quiet crunching of leaves, and recognised them as a human quiet. "Miss Ellyn, get down!" She said, startled as she quickly slid from the back of her horse, dropping to the ground as the movements in the forest grew louder, and the shadowy figures of men began to reveal themselves. She counted well over a dozen already, and each armed, eyeing the women with wide, suggestive smiles. "Now now." One said as he stepped forward, a rugged dark haired man. He didn't draw his weapon, a long daggar hanging at his belt, a confident grin on his face as his eyes flickered up to Kaura's ears. "Well... What a prize we have today..."
 
Viktor realized in the moment that passed between their eyes that Kaura wasn't just teasing Rowan... she was teasing him. A brief flare of emotion ran through him and his eyes narrowed further at her. He made sure to get out of the way of the advancing horses as the two ladies rode away. He barely noticed Rowan's conversation on the way back into the keep. Instead, he focused on calming himself down.

* * *

Ellyn was surprised that Kaura had just spoken so openly to her, and she was still feeling grateful for the compliment the woman had given her earlier. Though she hardly cared what Rowan thought any more than Kaura did... she still appreciated that other ears heard it. She quickly responded to Kaura's statement, turning her mind to less embarrassing thoughts. "I'm not sure that the rest of the ladies quite share our opinion, Lady Kaura," she said with a touch of annoyance in her voice, "most of the other young girls chase after him every time there's going to be a Joust, asking him to wear their handkerchiefs as their favor."

She had been showing Kaura the open plains at first, and politely keeping her amazement at Kaura's ability to speak to the horses to herself, until it became clear that Kaura's appreciations turned towards the forest. Ellyn had then made sure they sought out some of the prettiest, which happened to be a ways from the castle.

When Kaura told her to get down with urgency in her voice, Ellyn complied immediately. She herself could hear nothing, but watched Kaura's face intently, whispering, "What is it?" In the next moment, however, she saw what Kaura had been hearing. When the men stepped forward, eyeing both of them in a most unsettling manner, Ellyn's heart skipped several beats. When their apparent leader stepped forward and eyed Kaura, referring to the elf as a particular prize, Ellyn found it hard to keep from wanting to strike out at him. There were far too many of them, so she held her ground. Her mind raced to try and think of a plan, but none was forthcoming.
 
Several of the men laughed lowly as they stepped forward, roughly dressed men whose dark bodies bore many scars from obvious battles. She resisted the urge to growl as they quickly encircled them, and wished she had noticed earlier so she could have gotten young Miss Ellyn away from the group. Right now it seemed escape from the men was unlikely at best, at least for the girls.

Kaura tensed, and spoke loudly in the tongue none of the humans knew. Her horse bucked, and tossed it's head violently before turning to gallop towards the castle. All the while Karua's eyes never left the leader, and he waved his hands at the men to not try to stop her mare. It was a good hour gallop back to the castle, and by the time help arrived it would be far too late.

"Ladies of this lords court." He laughed, moving forward. Kaura had the urge to attack the man, and use her Elven speed and training to the fullest... If she was alone she would have, but she honestly feared for Young Ellyn. Battles were hard on bystanders, and even if she could escape... The other woman would not. And, more disturbing, she could hear the creak of bows, and her eyes darted to them, her face paling when she realized they were aimed at the human. "Fine women indeed." The man murmured, bringing her back to reality, and he circled Kaura slowly, eying her body as she looked at him in disgust. "The question is what to do with you..." He whispered again before approaching Ellyn, reaching out to grasp her chin and look at her face. "I could take you both back with me, sell you for a hefty price..." He turned to his men, nodding to those who drew long daggers. "Take their money, anything that can be sold. Watch the Elf, if she moves, shoot her friend. Bind them both, we'll take them back to camp before the fun begins..." He laughed, and several of the men descended quickly, roughly grabbing the girls as they followed the mans orders.
 
Ellyn's hand flew to the tiny dagger of her own that she kept at her waist when the man put his hand on Kaura's chin. She gritted her teeth, knowing there was little she could do that would do more than get them both hurt of killed, but it was so... disrespectful, touching her face like that and looking her over like he was considering a purchase. Her overriding feeling was one of anger until the man made the comment about shooting her if the elf moved. It was then that she turned her head and realized that there were bowman nearby. Even more alarming, the men seemed to be concerned that Kaura would try something and were using Ellyn as insurance to keep her in line. Ellen felt her stomach fall as she realized that, far from being able to help defend Kaura, she was in fact a liability for the elven lady!

Men advanced on them and one of the men had noticed where Ellyn's hand was and grabbed her wrist, taking the small knife. "Oy, this one thinks she can fight us," he said, and raucous laughter answered him.

Ellyn's cheeks flushed. These men were absolutely despicable, and she couldn't help it, she called out angrily to the leader, lying to try and frighten them, "You should take care that you do not harm her, sir. She's to be our lord's new bride, or hadn't you heard that he is half elven and the greatest tracker that you will ever meet. For I assure you, sir, you shall meet him, and he shall not be happy if her virtue is in any way compromised." Her cheeks were flushed in rage and an embarrassment born out of how unaccustomed she was to speaking so assertively.
 
The leader laughed, a long and hearty sound as he threw back Kaura to the men. They took long lengths of chord, and tied back her arms at the elbows, before cuffing her wrists with iron shackles, and even ran a longer iron chain between her knees, lifting her dress much higher than necessary, standing clear so Ellyn could plainly see the smooth skin of Kaura's thighs.

"In an hour, at least, the horse might be back at the castle." The man chuckled. "another hour to form a search party, and a third more to arrive back here." He said in a smug voice. "By then we will have crossed the border of your lords land, and he will have no power to follow. It might take months for him to negotiate his woman's release." He sneered at the girl, and motioned for her to be bound like Kaura was, though hers was all thick rope, and not the heavy iron they used to bind the Elf. "If he still wants her." He whispered, and walked to Ellyn, running a hand up her stomach in slow circled before a man stuffed a thick gag into her mouth to silence her, and he leaned in towards her ear, grasping her hair tightly to keep her still. "We will ruin both of your virtues." He told her, his voice velvet, despite what he spoke of. "By the time your lord sees you again you will be begging for my men's touches. Will he want a whore wife?"
 
Ellyn did growl into her gag as the man argued back at her. She desperately wanted to knee this man in the crotch. Watching them treat Kaura cruelly was harder for her to watch than to face being groped and bound herself, though she couldn't help one small moment of being impressed at the elf's gorgeous legs.

One of the larger men pushed the others aside and grabbed Kaura as if claiming her for himself. "Hello pretty," he said in the most common of accents and pressed his lips to hers through the gag. There were cat calls and the man grabbed at each of her breasts to draw more and louder cries. "I think I'll carry this one myself," he said, swinging her up over his shoulder, much like Viktor had the previous evening, though far far less gently.

"Just make sure you save enough of her for the rest of us, Grog," answered another, and Ellyn shrieked in anger. She considered the man's words and hoped desperately that he was wrong, though she knew well enough that he probably wasn't. It would take Lord Viktor and his knight's hours to reach them, and these men seemed to have enough wits to make it harder than necessary for him to come to their aid. She felt herself being shoved along after the group of men as they started to travel. She stumbled forward, looking apologetically into Kaura's eyes as she observed that 'Grog' seemed to be having some fun by stroking (and occasionally swatting) the elven woman's ass as he carried her like a stack of potatoes.

* * *

Miles away... and about an hour later... Beth crashed her way into the courtyard. Viktor, who happened to be crossing by to arrange something else for tonight's ball, saw the riderless horse and looked up with a raised eyebrow. When Beth came trotting right up to him, though, he was astonished. She nuzzled him on the shoulder, of all things, and it suddenly hit him. They were in trouble... real trouble. Kaura had sent Beth back and told her to find him, and it was urgent enough that he horse was trusting him. Panic hit him in a sharp wave that, even over the distance between them, was all too evident to Kaura. His immediate reaction was to want to scale the walls and start running, but he... couldn't... there were too many people. "Alright, what then?" he asked Beth, who, amazingly, turned and tossed her head as if to answer. "Ah," he said, understanding (though he himself couldn't speak with horses).

"Get Shade saddled immediately!," he shouted to the stable attendant. Sir Rowan, standing behind him with another knight, overheard him and walked over. He asked Viktor what was wrong, and, unable to think of anything better, Viktor quickly explained. It must have been a momentary loss of judgement, because he hadn't anticipated Rowan's immediate insistence on being of assistance. After trying to argue for a moment, in which Shade had been brought to Viktor's side, Viktor finally relented and said, "Very well, but I can't wait on you, Sir Rowan. Saddle your mount, and send your squire to warn the other knights about where we're off to, then catch up with me." It was the best he could come up with in a panic, and he simply hoped that the younger knight wouldn't manage to find him once he got out of the walls.

Viktor hopped quickly up on Shade, who knew his rider well and reared back to indicate he was ready to go, and then leaned over to Beth, whispering, "Spare no swiftness," and hoping the horse understood the urgency.
 
Kaura growled as a large man pushed through the crowd, and grabbed her roughly, pressing his lips to hers in a rough kiss through the gag stuffed in her mouth. She fought against him in a frenzy, knowing it was pointless. Speed and magic were her races gifts, not physical strength. The large man had every advantage with her bound, and others grabbed and cupped her breasts. She twisted and let out sounds of her displeasure as the men fondled her before the huge man slung her roughly over his shoulder, his hand on the curve of her buttocks, stroking and spanking her as they traveled. She closed her eyes for a moment to shut out her humiliation, and when she opened them again she noticed the look in Ellyns eyes. She shook her head as calmly as she could, trying to tell her silently to not worry.

***

Roughly an hour later Kaura tensed, Viktors mind sparking to life in her own. She could feel his panic and worry, waves that felt suddenly very close, and she knew her mare must have found him. Relief crossed her face before one of the men groaned. "Damnit!" He barked at the leader. *How long will we just carry and tease these whores?"

The man shrugged. "Lay them on the cart then, and two or three of you can start breaking them to their new lives, you know how to start. But their virginity is mine, remember." He said absently, and the other man grinned, grabbing Ellyn by the hair to drag her to the cart. The group paused to allow him to shove the girl in, and pull out a large black bag. He opened it, and after a moment of searching pulled out an odd looking device. It was a wide iron ring, wrapped in black lather, with two thin chords on either side. He smirked, and moved to the frightened girl. "So you don't bite me." He said with a sneer.
 
Even as the horses raced at their top speeds, Viktor grew more and more frustrated. He knew well he could cut this journey in half if he were running on foot, but Beth knew where they were headed and he did not...

* * *

Ellyn growled through her own gag as her hair was yanked and she was thrown up, still bound, into the cart. She watched with a mixture of terror and morbid curiosity as the man extracted the metal ring with the strange leather straps. Even when he mentioned it's purpose, though, the slightly naive girl did not understand what it was used for, though she surmised that she would not like it from the way the leader had spoken about introducing them to a whore's life. Before he could force it into her mouth, though, Kaura's lithe frame had been tossed unceremoniously next to her. Grog was a bit quicker about things than his companion, searching out another ring and yanking the gag out of Kaura's mouth. "Open yer mouth, elvish bitch," he cooed menacingly at Kaura, slapping her hard across the face when she didn't comply.

Ellyn shrieked in anger, "Keep your beastly hands off of her you filthy ani-" but she was cut short as a ring was shoved between her lips, locking her mouth open in a pretty O-shape. Shocked and terrified, Ellyn looked over to see that Grog had managed to get a ring in Kaura's mouth and tie it behind her head. She shrieked again as Grog roughly pulled his pants down and positioned his large cock at Kaura's forced open mouth... and then shoved his length in so far that Ellyn could see the bulge pushing into Kaura's throat. She turned back to the man above her, upset over what was happening to her... her friend... but truthfully she was now completely terrified over the fact that another man's member was about to invade her the same way.

* * *

They were picking their way through the forest now, and Viktor had jumped down to walk beside the horses, allowing them to move a little faster in the thick brush. "As fast as you can, please," he pleaded with Beth, feeling a little foolish as he was certain the animal couldn't understand his words. He was half frightened that he was about to find two dead women's bodies, and half frightened that it would be something worse...
 
The man laughed at the look of innocence on the girls face as he showed her the ring. He taunted her with it, while Grog threw the Elven bitch beside him, pulling out his own gag. He was far less taunting, brutally striking Kaura when she refuse to part her lips for him. She resisted the urge, if barely, to bite his fingers as he forced open her mouth, and forced the ring in, and by the odd sounds of Ellyn's protest they had managed to get hers in as well.

Again Grog wasted no time, ne opened the tie of his pants, and revealed his member. Kaura could have sneered for a moment, noting that dispite his size, he was no where near as impressive as her Lord. The expression was lose by the gag, and even further as the man grabbed a handful of Kaura's blue hair. She shrieked for a moment, a loud desperate sound that echoes through the woods, and she prayed to Viktor who seemed to be near... Before she found herself choking on the man's cock, shoved into her so deep that her throat clenched and spasmed around him, trying not to gag.

The other man, smaller framed, but with lean and powerful muscles, took Ellyns head almost gently into his hands, moving his hips forward to slide his cock into her moist and wonderfully warm mouth. He shuddered slighty, and pet her hair until he was in completely. "Not every time with me will be so nice." He warned with a laughed, pulsing his hips in and out of her, cutting off her airflow with his own impressive length. "Enjoy it, whore."
 
Grog was grunting in pleasure next to Ellyn and her tormentor. When the man above her told her to enjoy the fact that he was showing some modicum of restraint and gentleness... she heartily wished she could spit on him, but even though she thought she might just be able to kick his shin if she tried... she thought that would likely just get her something worse for her troubles. His cock tasted dirty and disgusting, and she didn't try to fight her own gagging. Somehow she didn't mind the idea of bringing her lunch up on this disgusting excuse for a man's genitals.

Grog fucked Kaura's mouth mercilessly for several moments until he evidently started to get impatient for more. He called over to one of his buddies and asked him to step up and give him some help. The next thing Kaura knew, the two of them were tearing her dress to shreds. Her breasts bounced free for anyone to see (Ellyn's eyes went notably wider, though her head didn't turn), and Grog and his friend took a few moments to torture her nipples by pulling and twisting them for their own entertainment.

When Grog started to rip her skirt apart, though, his friend protested. "He said he wanted their virginity," Grog answered, "he didn't say a damn thing about this one's arse." And with that, Kaura was flipped over onto her stomach. "Take her mouth if you want, but I'm getting me one of this whore's other holes," Grog said, spreading Kaura's ass cheeks apart and pushing the head of his cock into her tightest of openings.

* * *

Viktor, Beth, and Shade had just reached the spot of the ambush, which was obvious from the number of footprints, when Viktor started to hear the clop of another horse's footsteps approaching. He cursed Rowan under his breath and started to search more quickly. He found a scrap of blue cloth that looked like it came from Ellyn's dress on a twig and it struck him how similar it was to the piece of evidence he and Kaura had left to cover their own tracks a few nights earlier. The footprints headed that way, though. These men had made no attempt to cover their movements. He felt not bloodlust, but fierce, murderous rage start to rise in him, and when Rowan made a loud greeting behind him, he very nearly lost his cool and attacked the man that would now be slowing him up...
 
It didn't take Grop long to tire of her mouth, calling up his friends to shred her clothes. She struggled to hold back tears as they exposed her body, her breasts coming into plain view. They teased and tortured her nipples as she shrieked in horror, trying to kick out. The noise attracted the leader who grinned, and walked behind the cart for a moment before leaping on, watching as Grog lines his cock up. "Flip her over." He ordered, rubbing his hands together with a lusty grin. "I will claim her virgin womanhood now, and you men can take turns with her mouth, Grog, you may have her ass."

He grinned, waiting for the men to take their positions as he untied the tie of his pants, letting them fall to the ground. He was already fully rigid, his long cock throbbing almost painfully as he looked at both girls. "Poor human." He cooed to Ellyn. "I will fuck you next, my dear." He assured her, in a sickeningly comforting way, watching as the other man laid claim to her mouth. "But first, strip her." He ordered, and the man pulled Ellyn from him length, grabbing her breast somewhat roughly with one hand while the other sliced cleanly down the front of her dress, ruining it, before he shoved it down to expose her completely. "Now suck me." He laughed, waiting for her to return to his cock on her own, or face a brutal punishment.

The leader simply nodded, before turning his attention again to Kaura. "Are you ready to lose your honor?" He asked lowly, and she glared. Had she not had the gag in she would have told the foul man that her body had been claimed already, and her Lord was on the way... And getting closer with each moment, his growing presence in her mind a comfort now.
 
Viktor had to think fast. He told Rowan to follow the trail... alone. It was easy enough, the knight couldn't lose it, but coming up with a reason to leave him on his own was a little more tricky. Viktor quickly explained that they would split up, and Viktor would look for other clues to make sure that they didn't go off in another direction with the other woman. Rowan looked on the brink of arguing that this didn't make sense, when Viktor pushed it over the edge by saying that Rowan was the only knight brave enough for Viktor to trust to pursue these men on his own. That did it, and Rowan was proudly on his way.

Viktor meanwhile, let Beth and Shade go and then hurried off the trail. In a flash, he was running at full tilt, getting ahead of Rowan and getting back on the trail, his armor barely clinking despite the speed he was moving at...

* * *

Grog had positioned himself underneath Kaura already, and he hadn't waited for his leader to get himself in her pussy. He'd gotten himself back at the opening to Kaura's ass and yanked her down, shoving himself forward. There was just enough of her saliva on him to make the motion pleasurable to him, though the same was probably not true for her. He thrust hard in and out of her, fucking her ass as the men undressed Ellyn.

Ellyn had looked over at Kaura when they released her, fear, anger and sorrow all over her face as she saw Kaura exposed and used. When Grog had taken her ass fully, Ellyn had squeezed her eyes shut and made herself look away. Then she heard the demand of the man in front of her. She hesitated... it got her slapped. Without further convincing, she reluctantly pushed her mouth back onto the man's sickening cock, thankful that he started to fuck her face again so that she was spared of having to actively pleasure him.

* * *

He could smell them now, not just the men... who apparently didn't understand the concept of baths, but Ellyn and Kaura too. His fear and rage were boiling over. He was close...

* * *

The leader had just made his indecent proposal, not waiting for Kaura to really answer, and started to place his cock at the opening of her pussy when the blade of a sword appeared out of the front of his chest. Blood started to flow from around the blade and the man made a gurgling sound, looking in Kaura's eyes with a look of disbelief. In the next moment, his body was flung to the side and Viktor, in his black armor, was revealed to be standing behind him, brandishing the sword that had slewn her would be rapist. The look in his eyes was absolutely deadly, something far beyond the look she'd seen when she thought he was going to be her executioner.

Already men were starting to yell and gather around the cart to attack him. In the next moment, the man abusing Ellyn had lost his head and Viktor locked eyes with Kaura for the briefest of moments. He grabbed her, pulling her free from the cocks that were abusing her and throwing her as gently as he could on top of Ellyn. He prayed that Kaura understood from the look that she had to shield Ellyn's eyes, because his next movements were going to be otherworldly.

Grog and his friend found themselves giving death an immediate greeting after first bidding some other body parts goodbye, and in the next moment, Viktor was flipping off of the back of the cart. The next movements were too fast for any mortal to see, but in a few minutes, men lay dead and dying at his feet, and he was left cleaning blood off his chin. He hadn't drunk a drop, as he considered that he had better tastes than that, but his fangs had still been the fastest and most brutal weapon he had.

He had his cape off and was wrapping it around both of the women now. "Are you... alright?" he asked them, knowing perfectly well that in several ways he'd arrived too late.
