Thread: Life through the Mask (darkangel76 & frelance)

All the fear Lilly had felt when shed first come upon the man shed been following were suddenly nothing compared to what she was feeling now. She was hoisted over a gruff strangers shoulder, her wrists bound, making it impossible for her to get away. Shed tried to thrash and kick and even bite the brute. But it was to no avail. He was much larger and stronger than she was plus he had the advantage of knowing his way, something she was clueless about and would forever cause her to need assistance until she found her way home. If she found her way home Lillys pale eyes welled with tears as she was carried through the forest against her will. The stranger muttered things, lewd things, to her over and over again - reminders that he was the one in control now. Not her. He mentioned his buddies, the fun to be had once he presented her to them. It had been a while since any of them had been in the presence of the fairer sex. And ah, what a jackpot! She was clean and soft and easy on the eyes. His words made her tremble and as he continued to press onward, the fate that was to befall her was becoming more an more real. The sky was darkening fast and Lilly somehow knew that as the moon began to rise higher and higher, theyd soon be at the strangers final destination. Whimpers escaped her lips as they traversed the forest. Time moved too quickly and she suddenly felt her stomach lurch. In the distance, after traveling for quite some time, she made out the silhouette of what appeared to be a cave. No doubt that was where they were heading. Shaking, she knew that once inside, thered be no way shed be able to escape. There was only one way in and it was the same way out far as she could tell. Shed be trapped. Oh god what was to become of her! Nearly there, bitch, the guy mumbled. Youll be a fun after dinner treat. Its been a while. He guffawed and bellowed as he carried Lilly. So youd better be ready for our stamina. That cunt of yours is gonna be fucked raw. RAW! Lilly let out another cry. No!! Please!! The brute of man just laughed at Lilly and made his inside the cave. Once they reached the inner sanctum, she heard voices. The others. His buddies. Well, Ill be goddamned! one voice said. Nice piece of ass! said another. Lilly could do nothing but sob. As she cried, her carrier brought her to the back of their little sanctuary and tied her a thick and jutting stalagmite. As she sat there preparing their dinner, the men openly talked about the things theyd do to her. Oh god, it was awful. Shed rather die. Just then, there was a loud bang and a flash of light. Lilly curled up into the corner and covered her head as she let out a scream followed by a sob. Her tears were falling freely, as they had been for the past couple hours since shed been captured by this rabble. As things began to settle, she tried her best to focus. But it was nearly impossible. She couldnt see straight and her eyes they burned. Her lungs At that, she began to wheeze and cough. Suddenly, she a voice speak into her ear. Move fast, it said. It was the man from the river, the one shed been following. He came for her. He came. Lilly didnt bother speaking. She could barely breathe as it was. When she felt herself cut free, she immediately followed the man she had thought to be so cold and heartless. They moved quickly, making their way out of the cave and into the forest. Once they stopped, the man told her about the tear gas and began to clean her up. She was grateful for the crude rescue. She knew what her fate wouldve been had he decided to move on without her. When she finally was able to look upon him, her eyes no longer burning, she studied him hard in the moonlight. The fact that hed come for her said that somewhere deep inside he had a shred of compassion. Something. And it warmed her just a little. Sit down. We have to wait for a bit before we can go anywhere, the man spoke as he took a quick swig of water and then handed the bottle to Lilly. Lilly accepted the bottle gratefully. Thank you, she whispered before taking a small sip. For everything. As Lilly handed the man back the bottle, her hands and body were shaking violently. So much had happened in such a short time and all because of her curiosity. Why hadnt she heeded the words of those storytellers? So much truth in those stories they weaved for the children. So much. As she looked to the man whod saved her, she gave him a smile and then dropped to her knees. As she sat there, she brought her hand to her mouth and began to sob violently yet silently. Reality was sinking in, the what could have been. Shed come close so close Oh god, Lilly whispered. Im so sorry. At that, Lilly tried her best to pull herself together, angrily wiping the tears away as she pushed down her fears and paranoia aside. Now wasnt the time to dwell on such things. Shed been saved. They needed to focus, to move on. More than ever she found herself wanting to go home. She was a mess, not ready for the world outside the walls of the safe zone. That had been proven time and again since shed left the place. And somehow each time this man was there for her. How he must hate her. As Lilly got herself together, she looked at the man once more. So, what now? she asked, hoping that hed find that compassion she saw in him once more.
