The ache had been building in her knees as she kneeled on the cold stone floor. It had been the pain radiating throughout her arms as they were tied and suspended above her. Tama winced in pain as she tried once more to move and ease the ache within her limbs but it was no use. Looking around she noticed there were no windows within the room, so she could not image how many days had passed, hours? days? weeks? Tama scoffed at her thoughts as she let her head fall in defeat once more. What was the point in fighting anymore? she thought to herself, the thought had been intrusive at first but now it was a pleasant conversation with herself.

Of course it did not matter, she had run away like a scared, proud child from the responsibilities placed upon her.

The familiar scuffling of rodents feet once again met her ears as she was once more distracted from her thoughts. Trying once more to ease the ache in her shoulders Tama hissed as the rope bound around her wrists and neck bit into her skin once more. What was the point in fighting? the thought ran into the front of her mind once more.

Thankfully the idiots above her had not thought to remove her gloves so the mark was still hidden, however it did not take much of her imagination to think on how those idiots would react.

A shiver slowly made it's way down her spine making her cringe as it seemed every single cell within her body was screaming out in protest. Tama knew it was cold within the room she was being held because every so often she was met with her breath hanging within the air in front of her. Closing her eyes she once again tried to fight the pain as another shiver ran through her. Of course she was lucky, from the time away from Skyhold her body had healed, still when she focused hard enough she could see the small scars scattering across her skin from her mighty battle.

Sighing to herself Tama let her head hit her chest and relaxed into the ropes holding her, if that was even possible. This is the end, no more fighting … no more fighting.

Hawke paced the small taverns room, how long did it take for the raven to reach Skyhold? What day was it? she cursed under her breath as once again she found herself staring outside the small window gazing into the sky hoping for some sort of sign.

She had been stuck in this god for saken crazy place too long. Her mind would always turn back to Tama, poor Tama. Hawke scowled as she felt the tears building up once again within the corner of her eyes. Tama. Her mind went back to her face, the look of pure defeat, she had not even struggled against the weak humans holding her … she had given up.

Running her hand through her tousled hair once more she began pacing the room, her boots making soft thuds against the wooden floor.

'You have to do something!' she shouted to herself mentally, 'Charge in. Kill them. Rescue her.' Shaking her head Hawke could not help but laugh at her ridiculous thoughts, of course she could easily cut a number of them down but she had seen the fear in their eyes as they looked upon Tama and knew they would bring her down with them. She was going crazy! This god damn forsaken place was slowly eating away at her.

A small knock sounded upon the door making her jump a little. Brushing the dust of her clothes she tied her hair and practiced her smile, before opening the door… time to act once more.

It was an agonising meal for Hawke all she wanted to do was cut each of their throats, march over to the Chantry and get Tama. But it seemed the others were expecting something as well because everytime she look in an direction she could feel eyes on her, watching her every movement. But it was not time to size up the enemy because the conversation tonight over food was how they were going to deal with the animal within the chantry. Everything from burning to flaying was mentioned. Hawke bit her tongue, just give me a few minutes Andraste with these scum she thought to herself but when she was just about to take the leap into her assault Sebastien's voice would come to mind and remind her that 'Patience is a virtue'.

"Are you ok child?" Gus asked placing a hand on her shoulder, he had noticed that the woman they had rescued from the beast had been more quiet the past few evenings, when he was met with a nod he continued, "Do not worry child. Tomorrow we shall pass judgement."

Tomorrow ? …. SHIT! Hawke thought trying her best to keep her poker face in place, she could only bring herself to nod once more as the bile began growing in the back of her throat, she had to think of something … those idiots better arrive soon …. time was running out.

Will Hawke go crazy and kill them all? Will she be able to think up a daring rescue? Will Skyhold forces arrive? Or is this the end of Tama?
