Sorry for such a delay but here is the followup chapter. Thank you for the feedback! Appreciated! Feel free to check out another story I've started, a Zombieland femslash, "In the Land of Zombies" s/9440735/1/In-the-Land-of-Zombies (Would like some reviews). I will try to write more for Barbaric when I have the chance. Thanks for reading!

Marique had observed Bella closely since she had arrived, she would not let on her attraction to her, she would instead make scathing remarks about her and the clothes she wore. Whenever she was asked where she came from she had trouble explaining, "I'm from a different time, not this one. I never lived in a cave or hut. I know that sounds crazy" Bella said as Marique was preparing to bathe in a pool of water in a cavern.

"You sound foolish. Don't you think if there was a way to travel in a time not your own I would have done that by now?" Bella had learned Marique was a witch, she perfected spells to service her father, who was a big influence on her. "Now, I want you to strip down and assist me", she looked Bella up and down, she wasn't about to give her any bit of privacy.

"Yes, master..." she looked down at the ground.

"Don't you want to bathe with me?" Marique was feeling like Bella had no interest.

"Yes, but...I feel nervous..."

"What for?"

"I am not like you. I'm not beautiful like you."

Marique took hold of her, grabbing both of her wrists and practically slamming her into her body, "Silly slave. You might not be gifted in the face but I am sure your body would make up for that", she smiled, "Perhaps if I take something off first, you will follow like a good little girl?" Bella smiled and nodded. Marique was not shy, she removed her tight top, Bella got scared and closed her eyes, "You have never seen a body like mine, have you?" Bella bit her bottom lip and shook her head. Marique then removed her skirt that was like chained Armour, Bella still had her eyes closed. Marique shielded her breasts with an arm but made not effort to cover her exposed nether region, "It's fine, you may look now."

Bella opened her eyes and was startled to see Marique's naked crotch, she started to blush a bit before shielding her eyes with a hand. Marique laughed and commanded that Bella step forward and take her clothes off. Bella did so without looking, Marique seemed delighted; once Bella was down to her bra and panties, Marique took a moment to study the design of the material, "So strange" she had never seen such colorful fabric used for undergarments. Bella slid out of her bottoms and threw them aside, Marique took great pleasure in removing her bra, almost tearing the straps.

"Look at me" Marique said. Bella slowly opened her eyes, facing what now looked nothing like a monster of a woman, she looked gentle, kind, "Do my back."

She turned around, Bella looked away briefly, feeling a bit guilty. She cupped her hands and scooped up water, Marique shivered as the coolness ran down her back. Bella used the oils that were prepared for the bath, she carefully rubbed it into her skin with both hands. "Don't be shy." Bella prepared to go lower but was suddenly stopped, "I can take care of the rest. Here, let me do you." Bella turned around and relaxed as Marique's hands touched her, she felt like lying back into her but decided against it. Marique teased her, she caressed her delicate pale skin.

She whispered into her ear, "Lie back", Bella obliged and felt the other woman wrap her arms around her. Marique cupped her hands over her breasts, Bella closed her eyes, enjoying the attention. Her mind was telling her to avoid this woman at all costs but she let go, she wanted to see where things went from there. Before two long they both were deeper into the water, washing each other. Marique pressed Bella against the warm stone wall of the cavern, "Lie with me tonight, Bella."

"Lie with you?" Bella asked, thinking this might be a trick, "You mean like before?" Marique shook her head and smiled. "Yes...that sounds like a good plan."

"I have never felt the way I do about you. You make me feel such strange things..."

"Like what?"

"I feel like having you by my side and not letting you go..."

"Really?" asked Bella, a bit stunned to hear these words come out of her, "You mean, you've never been in love?"

Marique looked into Bella's eyes for a moment, tears started to form, "No...is that what that is?"

"I think so."

"Have you ever loved another?"

Bella had a memory appear, like a flash of lightning. The last thing she could remember before coming to this time was a cliff and her falling from it. Marique noticed her blank out for a second and wondered if something was wrong. She came out of it, not sure what to make of what she saw, "I'm sorry, I'm not sure where I was just now."

"Let's get you out of here, you can help me into my clothes" said Marique, showing some concern.

More on what Bella saw and the relationship between her and Marique. I will try to get another chapter up soon!
