Spoils (Open)

[Troglodyte]

OOC: General Zarkov. 6'6" 275 pounds. Bald. Piercing black eyes. Body scarred from years of battle.


IC:


I could still hear the screams through the windows of the palace. My warriors were running wild through the streets, looting and raping and pillaging. They were entitled. The war had been long and bloody, but we had finally emerged victorious. To the victor goes the spoils, as the old saying went.


As general and now ruler of the entire Kingdom, my spoils were particularly sweet. The late king had three lovely daughters. The young princesses were now chained in separate cells, to do with as I pleased.

My mouth watered with anticipation.....

 

[jaynedixon]

Jayne had woken to screams, to explosions and to footsteps and shouts running through the hallway. At 24, and as the oldest of the princesses she jumped out of bed running over to the window.

Tears streamed down her face as she saw the smoke rising all around her. She turned running for her door, her next thought was to get to her sisters. She ran to the door flinging it open she turned and ran screaming as she saw a group of three of the warriors standing there. She tried to run from them but they were quicker and she felt hands grabbing at her moments before she felt herself falling and hitting the hard marble floor of the palace and sliding to a stop.

A bag placed over her head her hands shackled behind her back she was helpless as she took her from the palace. She knew they had taken her outside as she could feel the wind, and now she could hear the screams all around her, hear braking glass and fires raging.

She couldnt see the blow coming that knocked her out, but the next thing she saw was the stone walls. sitting up she groaned her head spinning as she glanced around seeing the dirty floor in which she lay and the door in front of the small room she was in. Gingerly she got to her feet walking up to it and grabbed the bars screaming out of it as loud as she could.

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

OCC: Penn as she was called by most was the youngest of the three sisters at just barely 18. With long flowing locks that looked nothing like her two older sisters, something about resesive genes, or prehapps it was the fact that she was in fact born to one who was not the king's wife, but blessed to be taken in by the king as his own daughter for she was his by blood after Penn's mother passed when she was around 8 years old. Penn was also somewhat smaller and shorter then her sisters but not by much, standing at not quite 5 feet and weighing maybe 85-90 LBS where as her sisters stood slightly over 5 feet and each weighed what she would guess to be 95-110 LBS each. ((sorry if screws anyone up hopefully it doesn't, but figured it was needed.))


IC: Penn would hear the screaming of at least one of her older sisters, and wondered where her other sister was at, but could do nothing to help her, for she, herself was already being blindfolded and shackled up to a brick wall by two men who she'd guess towered over her small built frame and height. Penn however had no clue for she never saw the men coming. She knew there was no real use in trying to scream either for the men who captured her where smart and placed a cloth in her mouth before walking away. She guessed it was because they didn't wish to hear her screaming as her one sister was doing.

 

[jaynedixon]

A hand reaching up and rubbing the back of her head, she felt a lump there and she had the worst headache she could remember. The bars were rusty and cold and she leaned her forehead against them closing her eyes.

She opened them as she heard others. Her head throbbing once more as she opened her eyes, trying to focus. Across the other side she saw a girl shackled to the wall. She couldnt see her but she knew from the hair. Jayne sobbed falling to her knees her hands gripping tight on the iron door, "Pennn..."

She saw her sister just there opposite her her hands out fixed to the wall, a cloth in her mouth. She was almost thankful when she saw the two men walking away from her.

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

Sometime later in the night Penn would be dragged off and terrible things done to her for weeks on end finally oneday she just reappeared again, looking lost and confused. Her clothing ripped, hair a mess, and eyes sukken in.
Penn would wonder around for a good while trying to find her sister Jayne before finally just collasping to the ground weak, hurting, and straving.

 

[jaynedixon]

Jayne opened her eyes. When she did she saw trees. Suddenly she started to hear the wind blowing through the trees, heard birds. She tried to move an arm and winced, the same thing happened if she tried to move her legs.

Blinking more now she felt something rough under her, with her fingers she felt dirt, leaves and branches and she felt a chill come over her and thats when she realized that she was naked. Despite the pain that it caused she sat up. Her head throbbed as she moved and she closed her eyes trying to ignore the pain. Opening them once more she saw the marks all over her arms and legs, cuts, scrapes and bruises up and down both of them. She looked around, she had no idea where she was and then she remembered the screams and the explosions.

She tried to stand but couldnt and tried and tried but eventually she just collapsed to the ground and closed her eyes.

...

The next time she opened them when she looked up she saw some sort of roof, there was something soft on top of her and she heard a voice. She lifted an arm up, there was still some pain in it but she could see that her wounds had been dressed. She checked her other arm and then heard some footsteps and in her view came a face "You are awake" she heard and she looked up at the strange face staring and blinking not moving as she lay there in some sort of bed. Still looking around, seeing the strange place that she woke up in she looked back up at the face that was looking down at her.

"My sister, what happened to my sister?"

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

Sister what sister dear child there is only you we found and by we I mean myself and my wolf here. You see where out looking for food for him and instead he found you, and we brought you back to my place. You have been passed out now for days, had us worried. I am glad to see you awake that was quite a bump on your head, and however did you find yourself so far from civaltion.
The old lady would smile as she spoke resting her hand on likley the biggest timber wolf Jayne had ever seen.

Meanwhile back at the ruins Penn was just rewaking again trying to focus her eyes trying to move, trying to do anything but stay where she was at for fear that she would be rapped and beaten again by those three terrible men. Her body hurt badly but still she managed to get to her feet and stagger off into the wooded area, figuring it would be a safe place to hide.
She had no idea really how long she staggered through the woods until her body once again gave out when it did unknown to her Penn was now less then a mile from the front door of where her sister Jayne was being carried for.

 

[jaynedixon]

Jayne still found it hard to focus, her head still hurt her limbs still stung, her whole body ached. She lay, she turned away looking at the wall close to her. In her mind she remembered more. The explosions, the screaming. She gasped as she recalled the bag being placed over her head, and the cell she was placed in. It was coming back to her now, but it was too much she screwed her eyes shut not wanting to remember what they had done to her, she remembered screaming, she remembered hearing her sister scream and she turned back to the woman with tears streaking down her face.

"They took us, they ransacked the kingdom and they took me and they took my sister, and they..." she couldnt bring herself to say it but as she looked over herself she could see what they had done to her. She was covered in cuts and bruises and she had been left out there, just tossed away. Each time she moved her head cried out in pain and she felt dizzy.

"What happened to me..." she said quietly to no one in particular, she didnt really want to know. "We need to find her, we need to find Penn".

Jayne was more determined then she had been now, sitting up made her groan out loud from the pain in her head. She looked at the woman and then with the strength that she had she tried to stand up.

...

Jayne opened her eyes and groaned and curled up as the throbbing in her head started. She could tell the woman was still there. "What happened" she said quietly her voice dry.

"You tried to stand up and passed out" the woman said as she came into Jayne's view once more, "but you are healing my dear" she added and Jayne felt her hands softly touching her shoulders.

"Penn, we have to find Penn" Jayne said as she felt her eyes closing once more.

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

I will do my best to find her came the old lady's voice. If she is around my wolf here will find her. I trained him to do such as my beloved grandson may he rest in peace was born blind and would often wonder away despite this.
As for you young lady please try and rest. I do not know the full extent of what was done to you but by your screams as you sleep and the tears which fall I can guess it was not good. I can assure you however you are safe now.
With that being said the old lady would look to her wolf smile and speak as if talking to a human. Shall we go see if we can't prehpps find this sister the young lady speaks of Kynng (King). Kynng would look as if he nodded his head slightly head for the door, just as bother where fixing to walk out she called out. I will be back as soon as I can, maybe luck will be on your side and I or should I say we will find your sister. However unless some mericle she wondered as you did within a five mile radiouse of my place that is doubtful.

(I like how we are both managing to play the lady helping Jayne right now without stepping on eachothers toes so to speak.)

 

[jaynedixon]

The pain dulling by the day, slowly Jayne could push herself up onto her elbows and with a shaky arm she reached out grabbing the glass of water that was constantly full by her bed. She drank and she drank, turning back to the woman as they walked across the room.

"Thank you" She said, her voice was soft, but it was still loud enough that the woman stopped and turned back smiled and nodded before slipping out of the door.

Jayne lay back down, rolling from her side to her back. There was still some pain there but it was not as bad as it was and she could lay on it looking up at the ceiling. Not wanting to close her eyes for when she did the dreams and the images came into her head. The screams. The cheers from the men. She could see the cell in her mind. She remembered sitting in there shivering and naked. She heard other screams, the screams of many, she knew it wasnt just herself that had been mistreated as she had.

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

It was roughly a day later when the old lady and Kynng came back. Strapped to his back was two tree branches attached to a make shift carrier holding a small framed person covered with the cloak the old lady had on when she left.

At first it would hard tell if this person was male or female for the hair was poorly cropped short as if butchered by a duhl knife, and thier back was facing Jayne, but then an unmistakeable moan would leave the persons lips and Jayne would know it was her sister Penn.

The old lady would then detach the carrier from Kynng, look to Jayne. Luck was on our side I found her roughly a mile away but she was too weak to move or I would have been back sooner with her. I will care for her as I care for you and for as long as I am, and Kynng here is alive you need not fear.

 

[jaynedixon]

Jayne opened her eyes and the woman was standing there. She sat up, now she could do that without the pain in her head, and looked up at the woman and then her eyes went down to the wolf that was by her side.

She felt her eyes well up with tears almost instantly, and despite the pain it caused her Jayne jumped up to her feet, falling down to her knees by the side of the wolf as she looked at her sister strapped to his back. The tears were already flowing down her face and dripping onto her knees as she reached out with a shaky hand touching the cropped hair. Her hand pushed the cloak down a little bit over her shoulders and she saw the wounds on her back.

"Oh god Penn what did they do to you" she sobbed.

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

Penn's back was a mass of deep slash marks, whelts, bruises, and scars. Her hair which had been her signature trade mark was not chopped but butchered off clear to her ears. Her eyes despite looking right at her sister Jayne now where void of life despite the fact that Penn was clearly drawling breath for eachtime she did her entire body was shaking as if ice cold.
Finally Penn would answer her sister, her voice barely autoable, rape. Her arm would then fall free and Jayne would see deep rope burns on Penn's wrist area and burns up and down her arm. At this point if Jayne turned Penn's hand over she would see all her nails had been ripped from her fingers too, but Jayne did not need to do this for the old lady spoke up softly.
Her nails all of them are ripped out, and her leggs and feet make me wonder how she even got to where Kynng found her. If I did not know better I would say each ankle was broken if not her entire foot possibly more then once.
I am sorry to ask this of you Jayne but how long ago was it that your home was taken over?
Aswer if you can, and I will do what I can to help your sister Penn.

(I know this has only beening going for like 2 months in RL but I am thinking that in char time maybe 4-6 months have pasted and that Jayne has been with the old lady now for like a month or more. Not sure if that wouldwork or not.)

 

[jaynedixon]

Jayne cringed as she spoke closing her eyes fresh tears left her eyes. Shakily she reached out taking her hand in her own and holding it gently.

"They did the same to me" she spoke "they held us seperately but then they hurt us together. Sometimes on my own, sometimes I would hear her screams. But most times we were forced to watch. If we closed our eyes they pulled a nail off. Penn wouldnt watch."

Jayne looked down at her thumb her own nail missing, "After the first time I couldnt take it I watched all that they did"

Jayne moved out of the way "We need to get her into bed" She looked up at the woman and then at the wolf that just stood ther licking at something on the floor.

The old woman moved forward and Jayne watch her slowly put the body of her sister onto the bed, "How long??? I...I dont know. I dont know how long I have been here. Months is my guess. They stormed the castle, burned everything to the ground." Fresh tears came to her eyes as she remembered that day.

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

Hearing her sister Penn would try and move, try to sit up but it was in vain for the simplest movement of just trying to move to her side had Penn screaming in pain for a breif moment before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and her body went into minni convolutions.

The old lady would then look to Jayne, I am sorry dear child for all you and your sister had to endure. Give your sister time when she is strong enough or you are strong enough to help we will move her but right now that is not an option. However what is an option is getting some type of fluids and foods into Penn. Is your sister allergic to anything that you are aware of?

As the old lady and Jayne spoke, the wolf continued licking something off the floor and then moved to gentally licking Penn's exposed hand this seemed to oddly relax Penn and the minni convolutions she was having finally stopped and despite her eyes being closed tears began to fall.

 

[jaynedixon]

Jayne knelt there watching her sister not taking her eyes off of her. She shook her head to the old lady "No, nothing that I know of" she said quietly. She didnt leave Penn's side. When she saw the tears from her eyes she reached over gently wiping them away before letting her hands move up running through her hair pushing it away from her face.

"Its going to be ok Penn" she said softly and repeatedly.

Tears came from her own face as she felt a hand, Penn's hand raise up and press against her cheek.

"You are safe now" she whispered as she looked up as the old lady walked back over. "Whats that that you have?"

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

The old lady would bring Penn some broth, looking to Jayne I added some herbs to help with the pain she is feeling as her body heals try to get her to eat it all it will help just as it helped you.
The old lady would then turn back to Kynng who was laying very protectively at the foot of where Penn was still laying in the carrier on the floor.
Penn seems to be doing better but I do find it odd Kynng's taking to her, normally he is not one to take to another. Besides myself, andmy Grandson, the only other person he has been known to take too would be my daughter when she was carring what should have been my second grandchild.
To herself barely if at all hearable then, may they all rest in peice.
Then outloud again to Jayne. I do hope your sister is not carring for the herbs she needs to heal fully will likely cause her to miscarry for they are strong enough to even remove some of her scares, but I know no other way and if even 1 of the herbs are missing then they will not work, and for this I am sorry, but I can tell you the miscarriage if she is infact carring will or should be quick and painless thanks to the herbs. I am as I said hoping she is not and that Kynng here is seeing her more as a child due to how weak she is.

 

[jaynedixon]

Jayne never left the side of her sister. Day after day. Night after night. She was regaining her own strength and even though her body still ached from all that was done to it she was able to get up and walk around on her own.

Penn didnt seem to be getting any better and she just laid there with the wolf looking over her. She watched as the old lady fed her. Sitting on the bed and just watching, trying not to cry as she looked down at her sister.

One day after Penn had been fed and the old lady had left to go back to the kitchen. Jayne followed behind her, softly padding into the kitchen. "What did you mean about carrying, and scars?" she asked seeing the back of the old lady.

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

My dear child all I mean is the scars on her wrist, arms, legs, and feet. Which as you can see are healing quite nicely. As for as carring it is clear she is not for if she was she would have long lost the baby so you need not worry over that.

From the other room came a sudden great scream from Penn, and Kynng would come into where Jayne and the old lady where in the kitchen with of all things his tail between his legs as if he had been beat. When each Jayne and the old lady ran into the room where Penn was they would see her sitting up more thanks in part to wall she was against, tears streaming down her face, but with eyes that where showing life for the first time since being found and brought in. Penn would also speak softly, her voice cracking as she did so. I did not mean to scare Kynng, I moved so I could better pet him, he has been so loving and kind to me, but moving hurt so it felt like fired ice picks through my entire being. I hope I did not scare him too badly.

Kynng would stick his head out the kitchen door then and after a few hesitent moments would come out and laying down once more by Penn.

 

[jaynedixon]

Jayne ran. bolting past the wolf and grabbing onto the doorframe. Where she shouted out as she saw her sister sitting there. She couldnt stop the tears coming from her face as she walked into the room dropping onto her knees right in front of Penn.

"Hi" was all she managed to say smiling as she reached up trying to wipe some of the tears from Penn's face.

Jayne felt the fur from the wolf pass her and looked as it laid down by the side of her sister and she watched as her sister placed on hand gently on the wolf. Glancing up at the old lady who just stood in the doorway Jayne lay her head softly by that of her sisters the two of them crying together.

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

There is so much I need to tell you. I am so happy you did get away Jayne, and that the nice old lady found us both.
Penn's eyes would then roll into the back of her as another periecing sream left her lips as a big long scar on her arm began to knitt itself up and dissapear, and since Penn was fully awake this time she was feeling everything.
The old lady would quickly come in then open Penn's mouth and pour a black mixture into her mouth and very soon after Penn's body would go completely limp.
The old lady would then look to Jayne. She will be fine,I just gave her a strong tincture so that she does not have to feel the pain of her body healing since I do not know that she is strong enough to endure what all her body still has to heal from.

 

[jaynedixon]

Jayne scrambled back as she watched with wide eyes staring at her sisters arm. As the old lady pushed past her Jayne climbed back onto her bed that had been her resting place for as long as she could remember.

"What...What is happening?" Jayne said disbelieving and blinking looking from Penn to the old lady. "What did you give her? What did they do to you?" she started asking both of them as she sat there.

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

I gave her something to sleep, came the old lady's reply. As far as what was done to her I do not fully know.

Penn would stay asleep for about a week as her body healed itself as much as it could and would thanks to the herbs and other stuff the old lady was feeding her. Some of the days and nights where very long as she screamed out in her sleep. One night was perticually bad as out of no where Penn began screaming what would sound like no, you can't, I can't, no don't, no please, no, no more, she would then became vioelntly ill all over herself and the bed all while sleeping. It was this night that both Jayne and the old lady would see the scar on Penn's belly area for the first time as they each had to get Penn out of the clothing and out of her bed she had been laying in for a few days now thanks to Jayne finally being strong enough to help the old lady move her sister.

The old lady would take one look at the scar and her face would pale as she spoke more to herself then anything. Oh sweet Goddess how is this child even still alive, and where is her baby. She would then look to Jayne, I am so sorry, and then walk away clearly shakken to the coar.

 

[jaynedixon]

Jayne was pulling the clothes from her sister when she saw it and she froze. Standing there just staring at it as she looked back at Penn and burst into tears falling down onto her knees.

"Penn...Penn, what did they do to you?" she asked crying leaning over and letting her own tears fall onto Penn as she held her as tightly as dare.

Pulling back a little she could hear the old lady and she looked down at her sister running her fingers over her cheek. "What happened Penn?"

 

[KytttheKyttenn]

Penn's voice would answer very weakly this time as her hand went dirrectly to the scare on her belly not sure her sister would beleive her or not. Magic happened, and I think it killed our thrid sister too.
Penn's face would then turn an ashen green color as she looked to her sister. I'm going to be sick again Jayne, I'm sorry. Penn's entire body this time would lurch forward narrowly missing her sister as a series of dry heaves racked her body before finally Penn became sick this time within a trash bin Jayne had managed to grab.
Once that was done Penn collasped backwards her entire body shakkingand her face still an ashen green coloring.
