Exiled

No matter how hard, Vikki tried to resist she was forced to keep going forward. She tried to show she was not going to be placed wherever, Bridgette told her that would be her new home. Whatever it was could not be good. Her only indication on what it is, is a world where, Bridgette claimed only the strongest and most cunning can survive.

In other words, it was a world filled with untold danger. A World that possibly is not documented or explored and the only knowledge of it is what her enemy knows, and it wasn't something she was prepared to be in.

Vikki moaned in protest as she again planted her feet trying to stall her captors from taking her any deeper.

Bridgette sighed as, Vikki's protests were starting to wear thin on her patience. "Now, now, Vikki you should understand your feeble squeals and your resistance is not going to keep you from your new life. Now move it!" She ordered as she pulled, Vikki harshly by the arm.

Vikki yelped within her gag as the tugging and pulling upon her made her arms feel like they were on fire. She still tried to put up any form of resistance as she would not be cast off in an unknown land without a fight.

Bridgette figured that, Vikki would not go quietly. She was a stubborn woman to a fault. "Annie, would you mind?" She inquired the warrior at, Vikki's right side.

"Yes, my Queen." The Warrior woman acknowledged before delivering a tight fist right into, Vikki's stomach causing the young captive to drop to the ground groaning from the hard hit right on her belly as the wind was knocked out of her.

Bridgette laughed as, Vikki now moaned and grimaced in pain at her feet. "I tried to be nice, Vikki. But now you understand that I will tolerate your protests. Your going to have a life here and that is final. Keep up with your pity little defense then I shall simply finish you here and now. I don't think you wish to lose your life so soon do you?" She inquired.

Vikki moaned as her stomach ached badly from the blow it received from the one who had caught her in first place. She always managed to take a punch now and again but to receive such a hit that caught her off guard and she couldn't see coming made her feel great agony.

Bridgette took, Vikki's painful moans as a confirmation. "Good. Let's get you back on your feet. Not to worry, darling we don't have too much farther to go." She assured as, Bridgette grabbed, Vikki's left arm as her minion grabbed, Vikki's right arm and pulled her back on her feet and continued to drag her. Vikki this time didn't try to resist as she was till rather weak from the shot she received, and it was clear she wasn't going to get out of this.

With Vikki still blinded and gagged she couldn't see and barely speak and with her hands tied behind her back she couldn't put up a true resistance against her captors as they continued to drag her on. The ground under, Vikki's feet began to feel hard as it felt she left the grass and was standing on rock. The Tiny pebbles she stepped on prickled her exposed feet. She wondered where she was being taken.

With her sight blinded with the rag over her eyes she had to listen in more. She could hear something more than birds in the trees. She could hear loud screeches and roars some louder than the other. It had to be animals but not like any animal she ever heard and in her days of youth she used to take pictures of local wildlife before she moved on to war photography.

Vikki then heard the sound of rushing water that sounded very close. She was then stopped just before she took another step where it seemed there was nothing to step on as she was pulled back slightly. Vikki didn't like this at all.

"There now. We've gone far enough." Bridgette said as she chuckled as this was the moment she waited for as she looked over the women to her left. She gazed upon her savoring the moment as if this would be the last time she sees her.

"Now, Vikki I want you to understand this." Bridgette began she loosened her grip on, Vikki's arm and gestured her minion to let go of the girl and back up. "Your story in your home world is at an end. Here in this world a new story awaits you. If you manage to live long enough to tell it."

Vikki felt greatly uneasy as she felt below her feet that her toes were hanging over something. There was nothing but air beneath her toes as she felt an soft upwind beneath them. She shook fearfully as, Bridgette continued to talk.

"As soon as we part ways the portal behind us will be destroyed. And there are no other portals in this world. You will be trapped her forever. You will no longer taint my sight with your presence and will not interfere with my plans." Bridgette continued on as she could feel, Vikki's fear from the shaking on her arms. She placed a comforting hand on, Vikki's back.

"There now, Dear. It won't be that bad here. As long as you stay vigilant and look hard enough perhaps you may keep your life for a good while and if fortune favors you, you may meet a primitive that might be willing to pull you by the hair into his little cave dwelling." Bridgette laughed as she stroked, Vikki's back moving her hand from atop of, Vikki's neck and moved it over the back of her bra reaching to the top of the bottom of, Vikki's loincloth.

Vikki winced as she felt, Bridgette's cold touch upon her. Her words were as cold as her touch. She was truly going to carry this out. It hurt, Vikki to do it more than the pain she felt in her stomach, but she turned her head to where she heard, Bridgette and tried to plead as best she could.

"Aww…" Bridgette cooed as, Vikki stared at her and her mumbles made it clear she was begging. "So sad, Vikki. I am afraid my mind is made up. Take pleasure and knowing I did have a generous nature to spare you. I could have captured you and subjugated you to unimaginable torment. I could have hung you by your heels in my dungeon for life and the only food you would have gotten would be grog or a wondering rat. I am giving you a chance to get a new life. Be satisfied that you have received a Queen's gift."

Vikki shook her head showing she would not accept this. This was not a gift but a taunt and torment in itself. She was exiling her and that was just as cruel as the other fates, Bridgette spoke of.

"Tsk..tsk. Vikki." Bridgette hummed as she held the left side of, Vikki's face in her hand. "You are going to receive this gift be it willing or not." She gripped, Vikki's arm tightly once more and placed a hand on her back and pushed her forward. Vikki cried in fear within her gag as she could feel the open air beneath her as she barely stood on the apparent cliff's edge.

Bridgette laughed as she listened to, Vikki's fright along with her minion a short distance away as, Bridgette pulled, Vikki back over the edge. "Did you feel that? The Feel of your life that can so easily be lost if what's bellow wasn't something hard or filled pointed edges? Know that after this moment your life is on a thread and that thread can be easily cut if you're not careful." Bridgette explained as she held, Vikki.

Vikki was growing more and more distressed as now she felt very helpless. She was captured numerous times before, but she managed to handle her own in those times but that's when she was able to see and manipulate her captors but, Bridgette was someone she could not tempt or persuade.

"Far thee well, Vikki Grimm. Do enjoy your new life, Darling." Bridgette smiled before pulling, Vikki's head to her giving her a soft kiss on her cheek before she shoved her hard sending her over the cliff's edge.

Vikki wailed in fright as she felt gravity pull her down quickly as she could hear, Bridgette's laughter before she splashed into a river going below the surface for a moment before managing to kick her feet to get herself back to the surface.

The Water raced around her as the current of the river pulled her down. She kept kicking her legs about trying to stay afloat as the river carried her down it. She was tossed and turned around repeatedly as it was very difficult to stay upright as the river around her was raging.

She would be pulled under the surface and thrashed about before she would manage to get herself upright to get back to the surface or the current would turn her enough so she could get a quick breath of air before being pulled under again.

Bridgette watched with great delight and laughed loudly as she saw, Vikki vanished down the river disappearing from her sight as the river curved through a jungle taking the helpless, Vikki with it.

"The Deed is done. Let us return to the castle and see to it the portal is destroyed." Bridgette ordered her minion.

"Yes, Mistress." The Warrior confirmed.

Bridgette stood at the cliff's edge for a few more moments to savor her triumph against, Vikki. "Have a good life, Vikki." She chuckled darkly and blew a kiss to where she saw, Vikki vanish before turning around and walked to the portal swinging her hips enjoying her victory against the one who caused her much grief.

Vikki meanwhile was continuing to be pulled and thrashed about in the river as it became increasingly difficult to stay above the surface. She tried desperately to stay above it but with only the use of her legs there was only so much she could do.

She tugged and pulled upon the ropes on her hands trying what she could to loosen them. There were tight before but the water that drenched it completely was making it waned and, Vikki's pulling upon her wrists were starting to make the knots on it unwind.

After what felt like an eternity, Vikki finally had managed to loosen the ropes enough to where she could pull her wrists free. She was once again thrown above the surface and splashed back down into the water. With her arms finally free she quickly yanked off the gag on her mouth and the blindfold over her eyes.

Just as she got what was left of her bonds off she again was pulled under the surface of the water but now with her arms free she swam back to the surface and now had a chance to fight against the raging current.

She panted and gasped as water repeatedly filled her mouth and nose spitting out the contents as she continued down the river. She used both her arms and her legs to keep herself afloat as she tried to look for anything that could help her. She saw there was a jungle surrounding her and tried to see if there were rocks or hanging branches she could grab onto but there was nothing and she couldn't swim to the nearby banks as the current was too strong for her.

Vikki did what she could to simply stay above the surface losing a bearing on how far she was taken down the river. By now it was impossible to tell where she had fallen into or how far she has gone. All she remembered was that she was pushed over a cliff and had fallen into the raging river. Being in an unknown environment and having been blindfolded through most of the ordeal it would be impossible for her to remember where she first fallen in.

Just as it seemed hopeless that the river was not going to stop with its raging waters, Vikki spotted another river in the distance throughout the constant splashing of the water to see that the river was splitting. The Left side seemed to still be rapid while the smaller river to the far right seemed calm. If she wanted to get out of the rapid waters sooner than later she would have to reach that smaller river.

She kicked her legs with all her strength and swung her arms in the fluid motion desperately fighting the current to reach the smaller river.

Vikki was an adapted swimmer, but this was a great challenge for her as she never had to fight against a raging current, but she wasn't going to give up. The smaller river was coming closer by the second and with what little strength she had left she swam up to the edge of it and managed to move into it just before she could miss it.

The River she now was in was calmer and allowed her to swim without much difficultly. The young woman rolled onto her back and let soft current send her adrift down it to allow herself to catch her breath as she was exhausted from having to swim that hard and having to fight a current for what seemed like fifteen to twenty minutes at most.

Vikki after catching her breath tried to keep herself calm. She understood that she was stuck wherever she was. Bridgette had managed to beat her. She cursed herself for being so foolish. The Story of a lifetime was all a lie! She allowed herself to be so easily swayed by an anonymous letter that promised her something she desperately wanted. She should have figured it was something that was too good to be true.

She shut her eyes and took a few more breaths. Her military upbringing and partial training made her understand that she could not panic in this state. She was in a situation that was far more severe than any other situation she was once in, but she had to get a hold of herself.

"I swear to you, Bridgette I will get back and when I do your going to pay!" Vikki vowed out loud and opened back up her eyes to see something fly over her at great speed that she barely caught a glimpse of it.

"What was that?" She asked herself before she heard a thundering roar that made her turn over in the water to see the river was flowing to a number of other rivers that split in various directions. She swam towards the nearest bank and pulled herself out of the water. She crawled upon the surface and collapsed for a moment taking a few more breaths to regain her strength before she turned over and stood up on her feet.

Vikki heard more roars coming from all around as she looked to see a vast jungle all around her along with mountains stretching out in the distance above the jungle but what she saw then nearly made her fall back onto the ground in shock.

She could see a long neck of a massive creature step out into view across the various streams of rivers a great distance ahead of her. She looked to see that it was an animal but wasn't just any kind of animal. Its legs were so massive that it shook the earth from each step. It roared as it walked on coming up to a tree and lowered its neck down to the tree level and it began to eat at the leafy branches.

"It couldn't be!" Vikki gasped as a shadow loomed over her as she looked up to see another animal that had large wings and it flew over her as it had a long beak and another of the same animal flew just behind it as they flew on heading over the creature that, Vikki first laid her eyes on.

"Dinosaurs! I am in some kind of prehistoric world!" Vikki gasped in amazement and in shock as she wrapped her arms just over her chest as she was dripping wet and was both cold and afraid. She knew what dinosaurs were as they were long extinct in her world and were nothing but fossils but it seems in this world that was not yet discovered apparently they were more than alive in it. They were thriving in it.

"Oh, no!" Vikki shivered as the water made her body shake from the sudden cold as she was out of it too long and the realization she was in more trouble than she thought. It was no wonder why, Bridgette had said in this world that only the strong would survive.

Vikki breathed deeply she tried to keep calm. She looked down to see she was in nothing but the wretched outfit the woman that captured her put her in. She saw that her chest was covered in a sash with green stripes on it and the bottoms she wore had a hanging sash that covered her front and her back end but it offered little concealment and though it wasn't confining it was rather embarrassing.

"I cannot believe this! What an insult!" Vikki grumbled as she looked upon her primitive outfit. Though it was rather decorative with the green stripes she would have almost thought it was cute if she weren't forced into it and it was all to make her look like she was some cave woman in this prehistoric world.

Vikki sighed as complaining right now would not do her good. She had to get a bearing on her surroundings right now. She already understood she was unknown territory and her knowledge of it was very limited. All that she knew was that anything around her could be hostile. Dinosaurs were going to be a massive problem for her.

"First off I need to find someplace that's not in the open and might be safe enough for me to make camp at." She told herself. Taking one last look at the horizon seeing the long-necked dinosaur raising its head up as the sun beamed off of it, Vikki found it rather marvelous.

"If only I had my camera." She chuckled lowly trying to amuse herself before she carefully walked from the river to locate a place she could lay low and get an idea of her surroundings and to avoid contact with any dinosaur if possible.
