Chapter 4

Punishment

I am in pain and crying

There must be a way out of this

A way to end this

Lord Venger hurts me

He enjoys it

Today he whipped me

I defied him

He told me to touch him

To do something for him

I refused to do it

He punched me

and bloodied my mouth

He snapped his fingers

My wrists and legs were bound

and I was hung on a rack

Like a five pointed star

The flimsy thing that he made me wear was torn from me

He used it to blindfold me

and I was afraid

I hung there naked

and quivering in fear

Ten stripes were put on my back

Looking at the bruises it was with something short

The first strike caught me in the shoulder blade

The next was on my lower back

The third one was on the other shoulder

I screamed on the fourth

The fifth cut off my scream

The sixth hit me before I could draw breath

The seventh hit me in the kidney on my right

My bladder let go

and urine ran down my leg

The eighth hit me in the kidney on my left

the world exploded in pain

and I passed out

Water was thrown in my face

and the blindfold removed

Venger stared at me

'You still have two more blows left little thief. Where would you wish them?'

'Please,' I said as I looked at him through tears

'Don't hit me again

Pleaseeeee don't'

He delivered the last two blows

on the side of my arms

Right where the triceps meets the bicep

It jarred the nerve both times

With that he disappeared

I hung there crying in pain

I do not know how long I was there

Only that it was a long long time

I lay in bed for the next two days

My servants bathed me a lot

Food has all been in bed

I cannot lay on my back

or on my side

So I lay on my stomach

He does not come to see me

and I am so glad

I am not able to look at him

Denora and I had a conversation

'I know that you disobeyed him

Listen to me Sheila

You must not

Whatever he makes you do

Just obey

Lord Venger is your master now'

'It has never been like this for me before

I hate him and I hate what he does to me'

'I know you are unhappy here Sheila

I can see it whenever I look at you

You do not smile and your eyes are sad'

'I hate my clothes

I hate this place

I hate you and the others

Go away and leave me alone'

I lay there for another full day

Getting up only to use the bathroom

On the fourth day I was well enough to take tea with Denora

We sat on the balcony looking at each other

I could see her groping for words

But I cut her off

'There is nothing you could say to me that would make it better

I do not wish to be here

I am a human being

Not his servant'

'Sheila,' began Denora with sympathy in her voice

'You serve him now

I know that this is hard for you

Is there nothing I or the others can do for you to make it easier for you?'

'Can you help me escape?

Denora shook her head sadly,

'No and I will have to tell Lord Venger that you asked me that

We cannot help you to escape

But there are other things we could do

That would make your life here more comfortable

You may have books from his library

You may talk to me or the other servants anytime you wish

We will try to help you to adjust here as much as we can'

I became angry

and I yelled at her

'I do not want to adjust here

I do not want to be here

I do not want your comforts

What I want is to be with my friends'

With that I stormed away from her

She did not follow me

I just lay on my bed and cried

Venger came to see me unannounced

Denora had gone and spoken with him on my behalf

I thanked her much for it later

He appeared before me without warning

and took me on the bed

I tried to resist

and fight him off

He snapped his fingers

and chained my hands to the bed again

I tried to kick at him with my legs

and he chained them too

So I had no choice

I screamed at him

begging him not to do this to me

I pleaded and cried

Afterwards he unbound my hands and legs with a snap

I tried to run

but he stopped me by magically placing a chain around my arm as I ran

I ran to end of the chain

and lay sprawling still trying to get away

He picked me up and laid me back on the bed

He chained my right wrist to the bed

and lay there next to me holding me

After a while I stopped crying

and he began to speak

'Sheila I am told that you are unhappy here

You cry all the time

Denora said that you asked her to help you escape

Is this true?'

'Y-yes My Lord'

The words tasted bad in my mouth

I wondered what my punishment would be this time

Would he beat me again?

Or would it be something other

Something more subtle?

But instead My Master spoke to me and said,

'This is not what I want for you

I desire that you should be happy here

I may hold you against your will for now

But eventually you shall be mine'

'Why do you hit me Master?

Is it because I do not do what you say?

If I do what you say will you not hit me?'

'Every time that I have hurt you is for a reason

You did not do as you were told

There is always a punishment for disobedience in my castle

Do what you are told and I shall be more gentle with you'

And then he took me again

I was on top

My one wrist still chained to the bedpost

His hands roamed over my body

and I felt pleasure

After it was over we laid there in silence

My head was on his chest

and I could hear his heart beating

I plucked up all the courage I had and said

'No matter what you do to me I will not be yours Lord Venger

You may beat me and use me in this manner

But I will not let you own me'

He looked at me starting to get angry

Then something in his eyes changed

A certain cooling maybe and he began to speak

'You have no choice in the matter

I am the ruler of this castle

Everything here is mine to do with as I see fit

You will obey me

If you ask one of the servants to help you escape again

I will have no choice but to punish you severely

Because you have asked once you will be bound

The chain around your wrist will remain for a time'

'How will I dress?'

It seemed the most practical question

I didn't think he would be angry

and he wasn't

'I will cast a spell on it so that cloth will pass thru

You will not be allowed anywhere in your rooms

And the chain will stay on your wrist at all times

I can magic it so that Denora can lengthen it so you can be bathed

At all other times you will stay here in this room

I shall be back and I shall do what I wish with you

As far as you being unhappy here

I will provide you with the comforts Denora suggested'

I lay there angry at Denora for her betraying me to Venger

Some of it must have shown on my face for he spoke saying

'Do not be angry at Denora

She is my servant and will obey me

No one will help you escape from here

If you must know Denora is the reason that I am not beating you right now

She came to me and suggested that I treat you better'

'Oh,' I said

It was all I could think to say

Denora had done her best to help me

I lay there letting him hold me

My right wrist was handcuffed high above my shoulder

and already starting to go to sleep

I started to move around to take the

weight off my shoulder but he wouldn't let me

For once he did not strike me

Like he usually did when I did something that did not please him

He merely held me tighter not allowing me to move

I opened my mouth to ask him to move

but his hand on my lips silenced me before I could even began

We just lay that way for hours

and I felt so good lying there with him

and that in spite of the pain in my shoulder that still grew

Even with it I drifted off to sleep

When I awoke I could see dawn's first light filtering in from the balcony

The first thing I was aware of was the immense pain in my right shoulder and arm

I had laid on it the whole night with it in an awkward position

Now it ached a lot

Did I say a lot?

I mean a whole lot

Denora came and had the others bathe me

I told them about my shoulder

They took care of it for me

It took a while

but in the end it no longer ached as much

They were most kind to me

and I thanked them for it

and I thanked Denora for helping me

Then I was led back to bed
