She saw his boots approach with his voice.  Her heartbeat drummed a rapid beat in her chest.  She could feel her blood rushing through her and create a whooshing sound in her ears.   She heard him speak.  Was it to her?  She lifted her head to find him looking calmly and expectantly down toward her.  Adorabella obeyed and stood, demurely approaching one of the countless men who had her fate in his hand.
[b]“Exquisite,”[/b] he said, his fingers gently brushing against her sash.  She was confused.  There was something menacing about him but his tone and his gestures seemed to almost be a compliment.  Her brows furrowed as she inclined her head in thanks.  [b]“I assume you felt our fine clothing wasn’t good enough for you.”[/b]  She immediately shook her head, worry forcing acid into her throat.  She couldn’t speak.  Fear held her in place. [b] “Very well, let us relieve you.”[/b]  What?

His fingers snapped and Adorabella turned just as two Drakken men took hold of her.  They were not at all gentle, holding her painfully enough to bruise.  She cried out as quietly as she could and bit her lip as her clothing was stripped from her.  She squeezed her eyes shut.  She waited for the beating she thought was to come.  The men let her go and she fell to the floor.

As she lifted her head the sash fell onto her.  It was warm still with her body heat.  Her naked body seemed to absorb the cold much more quickly without the rough fabric she had been wearing.  She moved into a kneeling position, holding the sash against her chest.

She watched as he began to put other minor tortures onto her sisters.  When it came to the burning of their soles she winced and looked away.  Her first thought was of a mixture, a poultice that she could apply to help the burn heal and soothe the pain.  She had no access to these things through and that more than her nakedness made her feel helpless.

He went on to ramble about the lessons they were to learn.  When it seemed time to go, she stood and wrapped the sash around her waist where it had rested before her clothes had been removed.  The rest of her body remained exposed.  She was not embarrassed by her curvy figure.  She had spent many a day before her nobility training as a free, naked little sprite running through the forest.  And even enjoying male partners.  The cold hurt her more than her bare breast.  The lurid stares of the male Drakken were merely laughable.  She would not be made to feel ashamed of herself.  She was exposed with pride and she held her head high.  She was a noblewoman.  More importantly, she was a woman of the forest.  Of Water.  Of healing.  They would not strip away her identity.

Adorabella waited to leave with Sorrin before she followed the rest of the girls to their training.  She vowed at that moment she would do all she could to take care of this poor, innocent girl.  The men she had once thought could never be as monstrous as the stories had certainly proved themselves today.  Her fear was replaced by a great desire to protect.  She would take all the abuse onto herself before she would let any girl who wanted a place under her wing.  [color=BC79CB]“Come, walk slowly, take your time,”[/color] she cooed softly to Sorrin, stroking the taller girl’s soft blonde locks.
