Ch. 14 ~ Innocence in Ravishment

Serena awoke to the feel of such cold, and sat straight up. She had not remembered anything…why and where she had fallen asleep.

She looked around for a trace of something that would provoke her memory, however she found nothing. She was trapped in a small, but exquisitely designed room. Though the ornaments were opulent, the room was ill-lit and extremely gloomy. She felt as though dark shadows lurked about around her….an invisible presence.

"Moon Princess, you are awake. Did you sleep well?", a voice hissed in her ear. It was a familiar male voice.

"Who are you??", she suddenly demanded. Her heart stopped and her breathing grew rapid and unsteady. Her hand flew to her chest, but her brooch was still gone. She wore nothing but a shady black strip of rough fabric.

"Ah you have a short memory", he said stepping into the dull candlelight. "As I said earlier, I am Imener"

Serena let out a soft gasp and shuffled herself to the other side of the bed, trying to get away from the mysterious man. "What am I doing…here??"

Imener chuckled in an evil tone. His eyes were like two stained blotches of a mucky color. He reached out his icy hand, and ran it down her bare shoulder. "You are the prize"

A tear slid down her face as he did this, and she turned away from him with vulnerability. "Why….?"

"Why?" The man's eyes grew wide with pleasure and his thin lips curved into a smile as he repeated her one word question. "An artifice to gather your little friends together…and of course the Lady of the Omega. You will become useful to us in many ways. Useful to me." He suddenly leapt onto the bed, and pinned the poor girl down. His rough hands reached out and grabbed her tresses of blonde hair and pulled at them with much force.

The girl's yelp was like music to his ears, and he smirked as she wailed louder. Suddenly wanting her silent, he slammed his mouth against hers, and coerced his tongue into her mouth. He felt her struggle underneath him, but he was to show no mercy. Queen Ahraune would have what she wanted later. Now was the time for a little fun with his catch.
