Chapter 4: The Long Year

…..

Reaction

In the days and weeks following the event known as the Blinding things in the Commonwealth began to change. The first reports came from people living on the coast reporting that the oceans water was no longer irradiated and that fishermen were catching sea life thought to have been extinct since the time of the great war. Not too long after that reports from northern Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont came in reporting that Canada had disappeared and was replaced with open ocean.

When word of this reached the Settlements it was met with mixed reactions. Some people took the news with fear and sadness, these usually being citizens and traders who were from Canada. Most however saw this a great opportunity as things to get better. Some of the more religious folks saw it as a miracle from God.

…..

Proposal and Preparations

May 18th two days after the Blinding. The U.T.C Congress met to discuss the event as well as the acquisition of the naval destroyer in Maine and General Madison's expedition to the new land. President Hancock began the meeting by revealing to the congress that the event was caused when the scientist at the Vault 88 and the scientist in the Mojave were attempting to create a teleporter that would connect both the east and the west. The news caused some members to cry out in outrage demanding that the scientist be held accountable for their actions, others demanding that the Vault 88 research center should be shut down. Thankfully cooler heads prevailed and prevented either of those demands from happening.

When General Madison and Admiral O'Brian brought their deal with the Ship Builders to the Congress neither of them had expected the overwhelming support they would receive for this action. Though the two commanders had gone behind the governments back in order to gain

a pre-war ship and access to a fully functioning shipyard. What the Congress found more appealing was that a town outside of the Commonwealth had chosen to join of its own volition and all they asked in return was the restoration of their ship yard and in return they would also supply the Commonwealth with new warships.

However both the General and the Admiral had to lower the Congresses expectations it would still be many decades perhaps even centuries before B.I.W would be producing warships like the pre-war destroyer again. At most the best they could promise was ships akin to the Ironclads of the American Civil War. Despite this Congress voted unanimously to approve the Town of Bath entry into the Commonwealth and that a delegation would be sent to Maine to finalize it.

Now came the biggest proposal: the expedition to the new world and the request to recruit 2000 men for such an endeavor.

"Before we continue I would like to make a proposal to the congress on a matter that requires urgent deliberation?" Garret asked as he gained the assembly's attention. "It has to do with the new land mass about 20 to 30 miles off our coast."

"Very well General." Replied the speaker of the house.

"As you all have been informed there is a new landmass sitting right off our coast and it is only a matter of time before either someone here in the Commonwealth or someone over there decides to go check it out. Therefore I propose the creation of an expeditionary force to be sent with the intent of discovering if the land is habitable or to make contact with those who already inhabit those lands."

After Madison's proposal the chamber erupted in debate and accusations. After an hour of debate a vote was called. Surprisingly the vote was almost completely unanimous with only a few of the frontier representatives either vetoing or abstaining. In all the majority agreed it was only a matter of time before someone else made the first move so it better be them.

The Commonwealth Prepares

When the news broke of the new expedition to the new world there was an explosion of recruits for the Minutemen. Both men, women and ghouls lined up to enlist and who could blame them. The idea of going to a new land excited many of the young recruits. For others it was the chance for adventure. Many were hoping that if the land was uninhabited they would get first dibs on the land claims that were being offered by the government. And for some it was a chance for redemption.

It also wasn't just the military that were excited at the prospects of the new world. Thousands of Commonwealth Citizens especially the farmers were excited at the idea of farming and living on soil with no radiation within it. Newspapers ran stories covering the build up. One of the most popular stories that covered the headlines for weeks was the arrival of the newly christened C.N.S Abigail named after the wife of John Adams. The destroyer required much in the way of restoration. Almost all of its wiring had to be replaced. Her guns weren't any better. All six of her 5 inch guns had to be removed and given a thorough cleaning and rust removal before they would be ready for battle and so would not be ready for when the time came for the expedition.

As the army grew the need for more rations would be needed. Thinking ahead, President Hancock offered large government contracts to local farmers as well as food processing plants to increase production of food for the expedition as well as the rest of the Army. However nature threw a wrench into the mix. The winter of late 2296 and early 2297 had hit the commonwealth hard and threatened the health of its citizens. With the choice between helping the citizens or the expedition, General Madison chose the people. A massive civilian relief operation was launched to bring food and supplies to those that were in need of it most as well as relocate isolated citizens to the bigger settlements until the winter was over and would be safe to return to their homesteads. Thankfully the Minutemen were able to make up for their losses in the following year.

Port of Boston: March 25 2298

0500

Aboard the armored tugboat and acting flagship of the Commonwealth Navy the Kelpie General Garret Madison and Admiral Jeremiah O'Brian observed the port as men and machines milled about either loading supplies or assembling into their companies and awaiting to board.

The fleet that the Minutemen navy had assembled was a mix of various vessels. The majority of the fleet consisted of fishing boats and the five tugboats but was also made up of several salvaged and converted barges that were either being used to house men, supplies or to carry the artillery. One of the most recent additions to the fleet was a salvaged pre-war car ferry that was being used to carry the pack Brahmin that would be needed to carry the supplies and to haul the artillery pieces.

"Everything is proceeding as scheduled, General." O'Brian said as he took out an old pipe before giving it a light and taking a few puffs. "We should be able to set sail by 0800." He finished with a hint of pride.

Garret nodded in agreement as he continued to look over his army. It was quite a sight to behold as well. He saw Preston Garvey along with a few of the newer company commanders going over troop assignments. He saw Major James Price arguing with one of the naval officers about the placement of his guns on the barge that would be transporting them across the sea. Danse was having his power armored company board vertibirds for the journey and act as a quick response force if things go wrong during the landing.

"I couldn't agree more, Admiral. Even though we were delayed a year due to that harsh winter that hit us last year, but then again I was being optimistic with the whole one and a half year timeline." Garret said as he checked the time on his pip-boy.

Eostia: The White Citadel

Celestine was in great distress. In only two years the Volt and his Black Dogs mercenaries had betrayed Her and the Seven Shields Alliance and had already captured almost all of Eostia. Foeh and Ur were the first to fall and both their rulers Alicia Arcturus and Prim Fiorire were now prisoners and were more than likely being violated as she speaks.

'Damn that foolish child!' She cursed to herself.

When she received the report that Alicia had surrendered. Celestine could see bright as day that Alicina whether it was pride or just out right stupidity was a fool for believing that a demon would keep their word. Even after being told by both the captured nuns and even her own knights not to surrender. She still complied with the demand for surrender. Not too long after that she received a letter from Priminister Beardsley that he was now the acting ruler of both Feoh and Ur and would be serving under the rule of King Vult.

Thorn was the next to fall. Poor Kaguya and her people put up a valiant defense but in the end the act was futile. From the reports coming out the city was being turned into a monster breeding ground by a dark mage Shamuhaza to create his insect army to aid Vult in his madness.

Finally Ansur Maias kingdom. Celestine perhaps felt the most her. It was no secret amongst the Shields that she had a crush on Vult. She still remembered her reaction the day they received word that Vult had betrayed them Maia refused to accept it. Well she was a believer now. The last letter she received was a wedding invitation between Lord Michelle Pantielle and Maia. From what she could tell he, like the others, had made a deal with Vult. In truth she should have seen that one coming. The man was madly in love with Maia and was determined to make her his bride.

Now all that was left of her alliance were the kingdoms of Geofu, Rad and the capital Ken. Celesteine was at a loss as almost every army she sent out combat Vult had been beaten in the field. What was left was needed to defend the remaining fortresses. She had proposed abandoning and concentrating all their efforts to defending Ken but to no avail. Luu-Luu was too stubborn and proud to abandon her home and as for Claudia she instead chose to side with her father in law lord Grave. The man claimed that it would be a great dishonor to abandon her home to the enemy.

She then proposed arming the peasants and slaves and training them to fight. This was also opposed by the nobility who claimed that it would hurt the economy and demoralize the rest of the population. She knew well enough that they were more fearful of losing their power base and means of living than actually trying to win the war. It was becoming clearer and clearer to her that the nobiles didn't actually care who was in charge as long as they got to keep their statuses when it was all over. Even though she was the Queen and the Goddess Reborn she was nothing more than an over glorified figurehead and she was starting to regret ever being chosen for the position. Even her own church leaders were against her proposals.

On top of all that her vision was now becoming clearer. Her latest dream had the mystery man standing on a cliff looking out towards the sea. What she saw left her speechless. She saw what looked like giant towers made of iron and giant metal birds flying around them. The figure then pointed to the sea and what she saw made her pause in aw at what she saw. A massive fleet lead by the biggest ship she's ever seen was heading in her direction. No not towards her but to Eostia it's self.

She then turned to the man in blue. She could almost make him out completely except for his face. "Who are you?" Was all she could ask.

The figure then turned and looked her straight in the eyes. "You will know when we arrive and when we do we will be there at a minute's notice." Was all he said before the dream came to an end.

Now she can only ponder that if whoever was coming would they be here to save them or conquer them.

Time 1125 hrs.

Landing Point Vermont.

The first Minutemen boots to touch the New World were 200 Commonwealth Marines. After a short reconnaissance of the beach, they fired their flare signaling the fleet to begin landing. Within an hour the once silent shore line was alive with men and machines offloading boats and setting up defenses. Soldiers were either setting up camp or aiding in the construction of fortifications.

Jake Finch looked out towards the horizon of the new world with awe and amazement. To think he went from being a screw up of a son to a Private in the Minutemen. Another thing he had to be proud of was that he had been assigned to the 1st Minutemen Company, General Madison's company. What also surprised him was that the General still remembered him. The Sole Survivor did by saying "Don't go running off and joining the first raider gang we come across over there Pvt. Finch. I would hate to have to convince you to go home a second time."

Jake knew the General was just poking fun at him and it was rightly deserved. Jake had always lived with the shame of what he did that day. But that was the past now his future was in front of him and nothing was gonna ruin…

"Hey Finch?" A voice yelled.

Jake looked to where the yell came from and he found its source. The cry came from his squad mate Ryan Wesker.

"Yeah Wesker?" He asked back.

"Yeah can you quit staring off into space and help me dig this foxhole? Sarge wants everyone dug in before 1300 and you standing there in fucking lala land aint helping." Wesker said with a look of annoyance on his face.

"Oh yeah sorry." Jake said before grabbing a shovel and jumping in and started digging.

Minutemen Command Tent

In the Command tent General Madison and the other commanders were discussing their first move. On a table that they were gathered around was a large blank sheet of paper with a crudely drawn outline of a coastline and the beach. The main issue at the moment was that no one really had an idea as to where they should go.

"Alright. So we're here now what?" Asked Maj. Price.

"Yeah we didn't exactly do any recon prior to the landing." Col. Jenny Long remarked.

Garret could only nod in agreement. In the two years leading up to the expedition no one in the Minutemen command had thought to send either the navy or the air force to perform recon, of the new land.

"Alright so let's remedy our confusion." he said, bringing his attention back to the other officers. "Colonel Long, I want you to take your six Vertibirds and…" Just before he could finish one of the soldiers came running in.

"General, Sir there's smoke on the horizon." The Minutemen yelled as he burst into the tent.

Half of the officers looked like they wanted to chew the poor man out for interrupting a staff meeting without permission. But Garret stopped them before anyone could.

"At ease, soldier." He said as the man caught his breath. "Now what do you have to report?" Madison asked.

Snapping to attention the soldier gave his report. "Sir while we were digging in we spotted multiple smoke plumes in the distance and sir I don't think there are cooking fires." He finished

Madison and the rest of the Officers quickly exited the tent and looked in the direction to where the smoke was coming from. From what they could see the smoke was coming from the north east and it caught the attention of the whole army. Men were stopping what they were doing and looking towards the smoke.

Garret quickly snapped into action. "Jenny, I want two of your Vertibirds to fly, recon of that smoke. Garvey, I want the camp on full alert. Danse have your power armored units load up on to the rest of the Vertibirds You'll act as support. And I'll take the first company to that location for a closer look." He finished as his officers ran to their respective companies and commands.

Village of Springwall

The town was in chaos, people were fleeing for their lives. For Grace Campbell her day had taken a turn for the worst. The Black Dogs were attacking her home.

As she ran down the streets she saw sights that filled her head with terror and dread. All around her she saw women and girls being raped by both man and monster and the men of the town being cut down or enslaved. To her it was truly the end of days. Her only hope now was to get out of the village and make a run for the woods.

As she ran heard a strange noise coming from the sky causing her to look up. What she saw left her dumb founded, It looked like a giant metal bird hovering just outside of the village. Suddenly it was joined by a second and were those people in what seemed to be the head of the creature. Soon the two birds turned and started flying towards the sea. Before she could process what she had just seen she heard someone yell at her.

"Hey you Whore! Where do you think you're going?" A black dog soldier demanded of her.

Grace quickly turned and began to run in the same direction of the metal birds, figuring that wherever they were going it had to be better than the nightmare her home had become. As she looked back she could still hear the cries and the moans of the women and to her terror five black dogs on horseback riding after her.

All she could bring herself to do is run as fast as her legs would carry her.

1st and 2nd Minutemen Companies

One Mile from Springwall

(play Gettysburg Soundtrack: Over the Fence)

"6 Miles from the landing beach and we didn't even see them. We must be blinder then bats, wouldn't you agree Preston?" Garret asked his second in command.

"Well it could be worse, General. Besides who could blame us for not noticing it. We were more focused on the landing at the time." Preston said as he looked through the scope of his Laser Musket.

As the two observed, the town Garret's radio went off.

"General Madison, this is Captain Rogers. Do you copy?" The voice over the radio said.

"10-4 Captain I read you. What do you have to report?" He responded.

"Sir it's…it's bad down there sir." Said the Rogers. "Sir we saw men and what looked like some weird kind of mutants violating what looks like the whole population of the town sir."

Garret could only stare at the town with a look of rage on his face. "Copy that Captain return to the beach and pick up some of the power armored units."

"Copy that sir returning to base." Rogers said before flying his aircraft back to the base.

Garret and Preston looked at one another and without saying anything they both knew what had to be done.

"First and Second Minutemen Companies today we introduce this new world to the might of the Minutemen. Now follow me to Victory!" Just as Garret gave his command.

With that Garret, Preston and about 400 Minutemen began to race down the hill towards the town.

Meanwhile Grace Campbell was racing for her life. She knew if she stopped she would be doomed.

"Goddess please hear my prayer, don't let me be captured by these villains?" She prayed.

"Hahaha. There's nowhere to run girly. You're gonna give me and my friends a good time." Shouted the leader of the three black dogs chasing her.

Grace could hear their horses growing closer and closer to her when suddenly.

"CHARGE!"

Looking up, Grace's eyes widened at the sight she was seeing. Thundering down the hill were hundreds of blue uniformed men carrying strange sticks hooting hollering as they raced down the hill.

Back with Garret and Preston. Garret spotted the women and the three horsemen behind her.

"Preston, you and five other men go and help that woman." He ordered.

"Can do General. Once she's safe I'll join you in the attack." Preston said before picking 5 Minutemen and began to lead them towards her.

Grace saw that six men had split off from the main force and were now running towards her. But before she could try and get their attention she found herself being tackled to the ground.

"Hey guys I got her. I got her." Shouted the black dog that was now holding her down.

"Hehe good job looks like you get first dibs." Said the other.

"Man, we're gonna have fun toni…" Was all that the third got out before his entire body went bright red and then turned to ash.

Grace along with the two other men could only stare in horror at the now glowing pile of ash that used to be a man. This distracted them long enough for the men in blue to get closer.

"Drop your weapons and move away from the girl or die where you stand!" A commanding voice ordered.

Grace and the two remaining Black Dogs looked up and saw that they were surrounded.

"AHH WE Surrender." Screamed the first man.

Two of the blue soldiers then binded the two black dogs. As who seemed to be the leader approached Grace.

"Excuse me ma'am, are you alright?" Preston asked as he offered his hand to her.

Grace studied the face of her rescuer. He had kind features and Skin that was much darker then her own. She then looked at his soldiers and noticed that 2 of them were women and one who seemed to have some kind of skin condition. She decided that these were good people.

"Yes, thanks to you my lord." Grace said, accepting his hand and was helped up.

Preston could only chuckle. He found it funny that she thought he was a lord but he guessed by his attire it was forgivable. "Well sorry to disappoint you ma'am but I'm not a lord." Preston said before deciding that proper introductions were needed. "Colonel Preston Garvey of the Commonwealth Minutemen at your servus miss?"

"Grace…. Grace Campbell. It's a pleasure to meet you, Colonel Garvey." She said with a bow.

Preston studied the women before him and he had to admit she was drop dead gorgeous. However what caught his attention was that her ears were pointed.

"Umm Mrs. Campbell if you don't mind me asking but are you an Elf?" Preston asked sheepishly.

Grace couldn't help but blush at his question. It was almost as if he had never seen…. "Colonel, do you not have Elves where you're from?" She asked.

She got her answer when Preston and his men shook their heads. Grace was shocked by their response. She couldn't imagine a land without her people but then again many things had changed since that white light enveloped the land.

Suddenly there was an explosion from the village which caught Prestons attention.

"Sorry Mrs Campbell but we'll have to continue this conversation later. Please follow these three men back to our camp. They'll keep you safe." Preston said before he and two the rest of his men raced off towards the town.

…..

In the town it was a one sided fight. Minutemen were running around gunning down both Black Dogs and monsters. Those that were smart surrendered once they realized they were outnumbered and outgunned.

Garret charged into the fray firing at any targets that presented themselves to him. When he turned a corner he came face to face with a large Black Dog who swung his sword at him. Garret quickly dodged the swing before bashing the stock of his R91 into the man's jaw before proceeding to end his life with a stab from his bayonet. As he continued to push through the town with his men he and his men were getting a good look at their new enemy and the depravity they were capable of.

Whoever these Raiders were, they had no sense of discipline or sense of urgency when he and his army were charging down the hill towards the village. They only took notice of the Minutemen once they started getting shot at. The poor bastards were more focused on eating, drinking and fornicating to even take notice of the army advancing on them. As the army swarmed through the town the Black Dogs began to panic. Officers tried to organize their soldiers into some form of defense or counter attack but were soon cut down by accurate rifle fire.

Garret and his men soon pushed the remaining Black Dogs into the town center and were soon surrounded. "I am General Garret Madison of the Commonwealth Minutemen. Have your commanding officer step forward!" Garret demanded as he stepped forward.

The Black Dogs looked at each other with fear visible on their faces. Soon a man wearing full plate armor stepped forward. "I..I…I am Captain Manton of the Black Dogs." The man identified as Captain Manton said.

"Captain Manton I demand your unconditional surrender and if you refuse, we shall show no mercy." Garret threatened as he replaced his rifle with Kellogs Gun and aimed it at Mantons head.

Manton looked around him. He only had fifty men left and no orcs. From what he could tell he was surrounded by what seemed to be over hundred men and possibly even more of these soldiers in and around the Village. He knew it would be foolish to try and fight his way out not with the weapons that Minutemen had.

"General, I accept your terms, me and my men won't give you any trouble." Manton said as a bead of sweat ran down his face.

The remaining Black Dogs then dropped their weapons and put their hands up. They were soon rounded up and led back to the landing ground and internment. Now came the civilian population. As the Minutemen searched the village they found many poor girls that had been violated, some who upon seeing the Minutemen either embraced them with gratitude or tried to shrink away from them unless they were women.

The worst came when they found the Black Dogs camp. This time Col. Garvey led the attack quickly securing it. What they found was truly shocking. They found many women who had been broken by their time enslaved to the Black Dogs and had become nymphomaniacs and had to be knocked out before being loaded onto wagons and being hauled off to the Minutemen camp for treatment.

Minuteman Camp. April 2nd 2298

Seven days after the assault on the Village of Springwall, Grace Campbell along with the other villagers and former captives were settling into their new temporary homes in the Minutemen Camp. To an outside observer it looked like a tent city but slowly it was starting to take shape. Already the large metal and wooden walls were being built along with watch towers, a few scattered turrets and both Sentry bots and Assaultrons patrolling the perimeter.

Once she and the others were settled in, General Madison came to them and asked them if they would be interested in working for them. Many were skeptical at first but soon many agreed. Grace wanted to show her gratitude and decided to work in the kitchens for the Minutemen Officers. She did this for two reasons, one to get to know the people that saved her and two she was hoping to know what their next move would be. Today however she would get more than that.

"Commanders, today is the day where we will march the army to." Madison said as he placed a large map on the table.

"General I believe that we should try and make contact with this Seven Shields Alliance and offer our aid to them." Col. Garvey suggested.

"No, we should try to locate the main enemy force so that we can show these people that we are a force to be reckoned with." Argued Cpt. Fiona Collins.

For about two hours the officers argued back and forth over where to send the army. Finally General Madison quieted them down. When they had all calmed down he took notice that Grace was quietly standing in the corner of the tent obviously eavesdropping, and that's when he got an idea.

"Miss Campbell, could you please come over here?" He asked.

Grace was suddenly shocked by his request but also realized that she had been caught though to be fair she wasn't exactly trying to be sneaky.

"Yes, your Excellency?" Grace said with a slight bow to him.

"Miss Campbell, tell me what do you know of the Black Dogs and this country?" He asked as he stepped back to allow her to get a better look at the map.

Grace stepped up to the table and saw the territory that the Black Dogs had already conquered, what was still not under their control and a little blue circle indicating where the Minutemen were.

"Well sir Black Dogs are or were a mercenary group that were employed by the Queen Celestine Lacross the leader of the Seven Shields Alliance against the Dark Elf Queen Olga Discordia. They were considered heroes until the day they captured Garan Olgas capital. Whatever happened there their leader Volt who not long after declared himself King and the establishment of his Sex Empire or Cuntry as he calls it." Grace said.

Madison then looked over the map and his eyes fell upon Foeh. "This city right here Foeh what do you know of it?" He asked while pointing at it.

"Ah yes the Kingdom of Foeh ruled by Princess Alicia Arcturus she was the first to fall. Well her and her cousin Princess Prim Fiorire." She said with a look of disappointment on her face.

"The foolish child surrendered after a group of nuns were captured and both Princesses and kingdoms along with them."

The tent went silent until the silence as officers took in the information Grace had just given them. Madison himself looked the most upset by the Information. To him as well as the rest of the officers it was made quite clear that they would not be dealing with the most competent of allies once they met with Shields leadership.

Grace continued explaining the rest of the situation in Eostia before finally finishing. And then all eyes were on General Madison.

"After hearing Miss Campbells explanation and giving it much thought I have made my final decision." He said as he placed a blue painted soldier on the map. "We will march the army to Foeh and liberate it from the black dogs and then the world will know that we are here and that we will not stand by while evil is allowed to run rampant and unchecked. My fellow Minutemen Eostia cries for help and from this day forward be answered by us. Today the Black Dogs will learn what happens when they try to bite more than they can handle." He finished allowing his words to settle in the minds of his pears.

The tent exploded with cries and shouts of excitement and determination. The officers were motivated and ready for a fight now and no force on earth was going to stop them.

…...

After the Officers had left General Madison and Col. Garvey stayed behind to have a word with Grace.

"Excuse me Grace, may we have a word with you?" Preston said as he offered her a chair to sit at.

"Oh umm certainly Colonel." Grace said, blushing a bit as she sat down.

As Grace took her seat she noticed that she was now face to face with General Madison. Her heart started to race. She was very nervous and the idea that he might be about to reprimand her for spying on them earlier danced in her mind.

"Miss Campbell I would like to apologize for taking more of your time but what I have to ask you is very important." Garret said as he placed three glasses down on his desk and filled them with Wine before offering to both Preston and Grace.

"I will do my best to answer them, Sir." Grace said as she took a sip from her glass.

"Good. Now we have been told by a Mrs. Anna Florence that you were once a scout for the Dark Elf Army about 150 years ago correct?" Garret Asked.

Grace nearly spit out her wine from the question. Not only were they aware of her past but also at the fact that it was her friend Anna who did so.

"Now Miss Campbell you can relax, no one here is going to judge you for your past. No, instead I would like to make you an offer." He said with a grin.

Grace leaned back in her seat a bit relieved that she wasn't in any trouble. But now she was curious at just what his offer was.

"Grace Campbell I offer you to be the official guide of the Minutemen Expedition as well as full citizenship and the rank of Sargent if you so choose." Garret said with a big smile on his face.

Grace couldn't believe what she was hearing. They wanted her to join them as their guide and were being offered the rank of sergeant and citizenship in their country. Taking a second to think it over she made her decision.

"General I would be honored to join the Minutemen and to aid you in your efforts against Volt and his dogs." She said practically jumping out of her seat.

"Glad to hear it. Now Sgt. Campbell please follow Col. Garvey will make sure you're well equipped and trained on our weapons." He said as he saluted her.

Grace returned the salute before leaving with Col. Garvey, to go and receive her new uniform and equipment.

Foeh Dungeon

Prim Fiorire sat in her cell wrapped in an old blanket staring at the floor. She was miserable and wondering why. Why did her cousin, someone who she loved very much, have been so naive as to fall for the lies and deviousness of the Black Dogs. Now both of them were enslaved by people that they had once trusted and treated like family.

Beardsley had made Alicia his own personal sex slave. Forcing himself on her almost everyday. Prim was unfortunately now the personal toy for the Mortadella Brothers. The two pig men would abuse her almost as much as Beardsley did with Alicia. The only difference was that Prim at least got a break unlike Alicia who Beardsley always kept by his side for when the urge came.

Her train of thought was soon interrupted when she heard the sound of the cell door next to hers opening. She soon heard the cries, whimpers and moans of a Princess Knight being raped again. All she could do to try and escape the noise was to cover her ears and hope that it would not belong. She soon began to silently cry and pray for salvation. Someone, anyone had to be fighting back and would soon liberate her from this hell.

A/N

Wow this took forever to write but hey it's done now. Anyway sorry for the hold up folks been busy with IRL stuff so I get to this when I can but hey we're on the right track I hope. Also yes I did make up a name of a town for this story.
