"...up, Rohme. Come on, bitch, wake up!"
As I slowly came around, I became aware that my arms were above my head, my muscles were strained and sore, and rope painfully bit into my wrists. In fact, I was aching all over. My knee was badly hurt. My vagina and anus were sore as Hell, and I grievously recalled what I had been through to make them that way. Those damn stinking orcs. That evil twisted Sierra. Things had gone very wrong for me.
I slowly raised my head as I became aware of my surroundings. I was in a dark gloomy prison cell. Rusted iron bars were ahead, and crumbling stonework bricks covered in green moss made up the other walls surrounding me. The air was damp, there was the smell of mildew and the steady sound of dripping water. I became aware that I was hanging from the ceiling by thin rope wrapped around my wrists and tightly knotted. I shuffled my feet and stood up, groaning as the strain was taken off my arms and wrists, but I was still unable to bring them down below my head.
"About time! This is not the time for a nap, ranger!"
I turned and saw Aerowyn close beside me. The red-headed witch was standing there stark naked with her arms bound above her head. Her pale lithe body stretched out taut in the gloomy light. Her long red hair flowed down past her shoulders and she stared at me intently with her disparate green and hazel eyes.
I groaned as my hands throbbed and prickled painfully as blood returned to them. I looked down and was thankful that I was still wearing my leathers. At least I hadn't been stripped naked as well. "Aerowyn...How long was I out?"
"An hour...three hours. I don't know, it's hard to tell down here. But I do know we're quickly running out of time to stop that ugly sorceress cunt!"
"You think we can still stop her? It looks like she has won to me."
She looked at me disparagingly, "You have to stop her, it's your destiny!"
"It's not my fucking destiny! That was all a ruse, so that she could get you to bring me here. We both played right into her hands."
She exhaled sharply and grit her teeth as she seethed. "Yeah, she told me that too. But I don't believe her. You have to stop her...You just have to."
"And how the fuck am I going to do that?!" I said angrily. "She's a brilliant tactician, she plans for every possible outcome. She has a whole fucking horde of orc savages...rapist bastards. You didn't tell me about them! And you compromised me, getting yourself captured!"
"Fuck you! Things might have been different if you let me sleep beside you in the tent."
"Why would I want to sleep next to you?! You're as twisted as she is!"
"You're one to talk, you raped me as well!"
"You deserved it, Cunt!"
She just grit her teeth and glared at me furiously. We both fell silent as we seethed. I was hot and full of rage. I just wanted to scream at the top of my lungs. I had fought with all I had, I had gone through Hell again, and it was all for nothing. The evil Sierra was going to get her way. Aerowyn was going to die, and I was going to be become a demonic undead slave, forced to aid Sierra in bringing about the end of the world.
After a short while, I could feel Aerowyns' gaze upon me. I turned my head and looked into her intense eyes. She broke the silence, speaking calmly but firmly. "I believe in you, Rohme. You're a hero. You have the strength to forge your own destiny, no matter what Gods and Devils have planned."
I was a little take aback. I could easy imagine that being something Sierra would say to me. The real Sierra, whom I once loved. I breathed deeply and let my anger fade. Fuck destiny. Whilst I was still alive, I still had plenty of fight left in me.
I looked up and studied the dilapidated prison cell around me. "Are there any guards?" I asked.
"No. That's why the evil bitch has us strung up."
"Can you cast?"
"What do you think?...No. Whenever I build any power, that damned heartstone draws it away from me. Perhaps I can do a cantrip, something that doesn't require any build-up, but I don't have any that will get us out of these bonds."
"Can you do any healing cantrips?"
"A bit of weak spot healing, maybe."
I shuffled toward her as much as I could. Thankfully, she was on the right side of me. I stuck out my leg so that it was as close to her as I could get it. "Heal my knee."
She looked at me for a moment, and then nodded. "Let's see if I can." She leaned over and brought her bare foot up. I leaned over as far as I could as she tried to reach me. Soon her toes made contact with my injured knee, making me wince. She settled and kept her balance as her toes lightly rested on my dirty leather pants.
A look of concentration came over her face, and then she growled in frustration. "Damn stone! I can only do this very slowly."
"Do it slowly then."
"How did you hurt your knee?"
"Fighting orcs."
"Oh...I could feel you fighting, while that sorceress bitch was raping me. And then...oh Goddess, it felt like you were being fucked by a horse! Those smelly green brutes! You would need your cunny and asshole healed as well, right?"
"Just concentrate on what you're doing, bitch."
The half-elf scowled at me as she kept her toes on my knee. I could feel the mild warm tingling sensation in the aching joint, as it was magically healed. We kept at it for around ten minutes or so. Both of us were getting sore and tired from holding the awkward position, but I could feel my knee getting better.
I eventually pulled away and we both straightened up again. "Better?" asked Aerowyn.
I raised my leg and swung my knee in front of me. There was only mild discomfort now. I wished that I could heal the rest of my battered and ravished body.
"So, now what?" asked Aerowyn.
"We'll start by getting out of here." I gripped the rope above me and then swung my legs up over my head, bringing them to the rope. I coiled the rope around my boot and then shimmied my way up until I was able to bring my wrists in front of my face. The rope was tightly wrapped around my wrists, it was a sturdy knot, tightened by my dead weight.
I knew knots well, and I could see where it needed to be loosened. Hanging there upside-down on the rope, I started pulling at the knot with my teeth. It was very tight, and it was hurting my teeth as I pulled at it. I was making very slow progress, but it was progress. Soon I started to feel light-headed and had to lower myself down, being careful not to tighten the knot again.
Aerowyn had just been quietly watching. "Wow, is that going to work?"
"Yes," I replied, before flipping myself back up again. I worked the knot for a while longer before I finally succeeded, and pulled the rope through. I continued to pull at it with my teeth, undoing the knot. I was able to pull my hands apart a little as it loosened. I flopped back down again and yanked hard at the rope. It gave way and I fell down onto my ass. I yelped at the jolt of pain from my tender ass, which had been roughly pounded by several large orcs earlier. At least I was free of the bondage.
"Oh, well done, Rohme," said Aerowyn, looking down at me. "See, I told you. You can do this!"
I slowly picked myself up, before moving over to the rusted iron door and examining it. I felt at my leathers, my lockpicks had been removed. I was standing on the wrong side of the door to use them anyway. "I don't suppose you can do an open-lock cantrip?"
"No. Are you going to untie me, or what?"
I ignored her and examined the bars. There was an empty corridor on the other side, dimly lit by a few flickering sconces on the wall. I couldn't see much else. The bars were old and rusted, but still quite strong. The stonework walls were cracked and crumbling.
"Hey, what are you doing? Come and untie me," called out Aerowyn.
"Shhh," I hushed her.
I looked up the top corner of the front of the cell. The stone bricks seemed to be partially collapsed. I began climbing up the bars.
"Rohme, are you listening to me?"
"No, so shut up!" I got a firm hold of the bars, raised my leg and started kicking at the end bar forcefully. After several hard knocks, more of the wall crumbled away and the bar bent outward slightly. It created a small gap. I kicked the bar several more times, but it didn't budge. The gap wasn't large enough for me to fit through, but someone smaller and skinnier might have been able to squeeze through there.
I climbed down, "All right, Aerowyn-looks like I need your help again." I moved over to her.
"Ha, very funny. You weren't going to just leave me hanging here."
She looked into my eyes as I reached up and started untying her wrists. Then she suddenly lunged forward and pressed her lips into mine. It caught me off guard, just as it did with Sierra. Though this wasn't entirely unwelcome. I kissed her back for a moment, as my heart started beating faster. Then I quickly pulled away and looked at her quizzically.
She just smiled at me, "Just in case I don't get a chance to later...when we save the world."
She was right-there may not be a chance for this later. And I suddenly wanted her, just like I wanted her back at Kabores' tower. I moved forward again and pressed my lips into hers'. She was letting out soft moans as we hungrily explored each others mouths. I brought my hands down and rubbed them through her soft long hair and along the bare smooth skin of her back. It soon had my heart racing, and my nether regions tingling. It had me forgetting about my sore tired body.
Was it possible to hate someone and love them at the same time?
I quickly pulled away again and caught my breath. "Damn it! We don't have time for this, Aerowyn."
She licked her ruby red lips, looking so damn sexy. "Yes, you're right, Rohme. Hurry up and untie me, will you?"
I sighed loudly and went back to untying the rope. Soon I had her free and she collapsed on the stone floor, rubbing her wrists. "Thank you," she sighed. "I'm going to destroy that hideous demon-sucking whore!"
