Jennifer Scott knelt within a small cell which had the dimensions of a closet. It barely fit her. Her arms were suspended behind her in chains. There were no windows so she had no idea how long she was even there. She heard heavy steps from outside the door and braced herself as it opened. Her skin crawled as he reached for her, with his armored hand. She fought the urge to throw up as his hand skimmed the bare skin of her arms.
He pulled her up and out, dragging her down the hall behind him as if she were his pet. Her heart leapt as she swore Trip walked past but she told herself, it couldn't be.

"Daddy, please don't…" Nadira begged again, her sobs choking her voice.
"You know my rules dear," he said, he slammed his fist down on his thigh, bone popped through the skin and slowly a long sword slid from his flesh. He pushed Nadira away from Lucas and grabbed him by the throat. "Everyone pays for the sins she commits," with that he lifted his sword…
