Here's the second chapter. Hope everyone is enjoying it so far. Disclaimer thing, I own nothing of the Dungeons and Dragons world. Please review and let me know how I am doing.

The air was very cold and she shivered herself awake. Sheila looked around to find herself in a dungeon of some sort with very little light. The only source of light came from a distant torch in the musty smelling space. She stood up to find her cape gone and the necklace still in place.

She knew that Hank did the right thing but part of her couldn't help but feel hurt at the same time. Why were her and her friends brought to this place? Nothing seemed to make sense here and the strange power play between good and evil was taking its toll on everyone.

Sounds in the distance woke her from her thoughts and it became lighter as torches were approaching her cell. Within a minute Venger and two orcs entered her cell.

He was even more intimidating now that she was all alone and defenseless. "You will now address me as Master at all times as I control your fate. Do you understand?"

She nodded but that wasn't the correct response and her stomach clenched, causing her to throw up on the stone floor. His eyes bored into hers waiting for a response. "Yes, m…Master."

"You are known as Sheila correct?"

"Yes, Master." The words tasted bitter in her mouth.

"Very well that is how I will address you as you are no longer the Thief. Your cape is mine now." He walked up to her. "The quality of life depends on your service. If you serve me well you'll never see these walls again. Fight me and you'll never see beyond them for the rest of your life."

"Yes, Master."

He smiled as she was learning quickly. "Change into these."

New clothes appeared in her hands. She realized that she would not give her any privacy to change and turned her back to him.

"Face me."

It was humiliating to have this monster see her naked form. No one saw her naked save Dianna when they took a bath in a river or lake to clean themselves and their clothes. Over the past year she realized that she was no longer a child but growing into a young woman. From time to time she caught Hank stealing looks at her.

She was covered in a long plain black dress that dipped low enough in the neck to expose the necklace. Comfortable but pain shoes were handed her and she slipped into them.

"Come with me."

She was brought to a throne room. One she had never seen before. How many castles does this creature have?"

"Over twenty to date."

Sheila was caught off guard with him reading her thoughts. She looked at the floor fearful she did something wrong.

Venger knew very well she was fearful of him and would be obedient until she became comfortable enough to be rebellious. He would break her of that very quickly. "You are to obey me without question. It will be hard for you as you were taught that you are equals with everyone you meet. Here, you are a slave and nothing more. The very fact I allow you to keep your name is a merciful act."

She was crying now yet spoke. "Yes, Master."

That pleased him but he she required more work. "You will never raise your eyes to me; your gaze will always be to the floor and your voice silent."

"Yes, Master." She quickly looked to the ground and kept quiet. The power he emanated was overwhelming here. It was as if he held his power back when around them before. It was chilling her to the bone yet burned her skin.

He walked around her watching her reaction to his words. "Shadow Demon." He called out and within minutes he entered the throne room.

"Master?"

"I believe I need you to recover her memories for me. You've been very loyal to me and she'll be your reward." Venger turned to her. "Your memories will be mine and returned for a price. I have agreed to let you go when your debt is paid but you will pay extra to have your memories returned."

She fell to her knees. "Please don't do that. My memories are all I have." She never voiced it but she was always afraid of Shadow Demon. He held power to be sure but that power was unknown.

"You will obey me slave!"

She shook with fear. "Y..yes Master."

Shadow Demon hovered before her and she stared into that translucent face feeling that raw wild power he held. She looked to the floor fearing that the rules would apply to him as well. His high pitched laugh went through her and his shadowy fingers were inches from the sides of her face then they entered her skull slowly and she screamed. It was as if she was doused with ice water.

All her memories from home, her family, friends, school and feelings drained from her. Her mind tried to hold onto something from before the time she entered the realm but she could hold onto nothing. As soon as she thought of something the memory was ripped from her.

Venger looked down at the blank expression on Sheila's face. She lay on the floor looking up at nothing in particular as Shadow Demon pulled his fingers from her head. He held out glowing orb before Venger who encased it in a crystal ball.

"Good work Shadow Demon, enjoy her body until I return."

"Thank you Master." He bowed his head then entered the young woman's body.

Sheila had no idea where she was or who the two were that spoke before her. The dark shadow seemed pleased about something and dove towards her. The pain she felt was unbearable for the briefest of seconds.

"So very young! You have no idea how wonderful the feeling of having a body is. Especially one as young as yours."

"Who are you?"

He laughed at her plight. She didn't realize the danger she was in or how much she should fear him. "A loyal servant to our Master. It would be wise if you served him well." He moved around the room in her body, smiling, laughing and felling the fabric of the dress. "To feel again!"

Shadow Demon curled up her fists so hard he left indentations with her nails. It all felt so good to him. He pinched, hit, danced, ran, and crawled on the floor for what seemed like an hour. All too soon for his liking Venger returned.

"Leave her."

Shadow Demon left her body and she staggered trying not to fall to the floor. She looked up at Venger curious as to who he is. "He tells me that you are my Master."

She looked into his eyes but forgave her that as her memory was taken. He held out a small ball of black fire. "Take it and place it in your mouth."

Sheila did without question as she wanted to be loyal as the shadow figure was. The pain she felt was immense as memories flooded back to her again. She was taken, now a slave, she was with friends but she couldn't remember how she knew them.

Venger now held a different level of control over her. The memories that would keep her under his control were returned to her. Even if she left his service she would return to gain her memories. She was his.
