She woke up naked, tied to a cross. She was burned from the rope that bound her hands and feet and was wrapped around her waist. She couldn't figure out where she was, except that she was indoors. The only light was from a weak flame behind her. She couldn't see the fire, but she could read it in the glints of light, the crackling, and the gentle heat that caressed her back. It was cold and damp, and she could hear drops in the darkness.
She jumped up at a rough, deep male voice: "You're awake."
She wasn't alone, then. She said nothing.
"Then we can begin." She heard things thrown into a bowl, and instantly a powerful flare lit the burrow in an unnatural red light. Bones, weapons, and various tools were hung here and there on the walls. All the wooden and stone surfaces were carved with all sorts of symbols and shapes, and skin manuscripts lay in piles here and there against the walls. The surroundings were eerie--an unusual glow shimmered the rooms and the wall decorations; illuminating but casting hideous shadows on the walls. She looked into the far chamber and gasped--something was staring back, she was sure of it.
The flare faded into a more natural flame, though brighter than before. She was thankful the increased warmth and illumination. A reddish smoke now reached her senses, smelling sweet but bitter.
She stared into the far chamber: She now saw a clearly cold fireplace and saw the shape of a bench and some skins. She saw the outlined of a creature and the blood froze in her veins. At first glance, its form seemed man-shaped, but no man was shaped like that; long and thin and crooked. Hungry, white eyes, one larger than the other, met her gaze. The creature smiled, revealing sharp yellow teeth.
She then realized that the creature was not alone, just the most visible. It was a mass of all sorts of creatures, human-shaped but equally deformed--small, fat, large, thin, crooked--and she screamed in terror. The monsters were all clearly male, for each had an erection and most had a hand--or claw or paw--in their lap. The cocks were as varied, hideous, and monstrous as their owners. Most of the creatures stared at her hungrily with intensity, and many began to jerk off. Some began to make animalistic sounds of lust--snorting, growling, snarling.
She screamed, "Help me, Hvítkrist in Heaven!" Protect me, Kristfather and all the fair guardians!" She struggled on the cross, did everything to try to free herself, but it was all for none; she was tied too tightly and suffered nothing but a burn where the rope cut under her chest. The smoke had begun to thicken and the more she struggled, the more of the sweet, bitter air she inhaled. She started warming up inside and began to relax into her rooes.
Then a terrifying thought struck her that made her heart race faster again: "Start--? Start what? What are they going to do to me?"
