And Within the Confines of the Underdark

And Within the Confines of the Underdark

Drip....Drip.....Drip

The spattering of blood was the only sound in the darkness, even as Thorn's eyes slowly opened, and a groan of pain eased from her lips. She knew both her eartips had been taken, and the warm liquid that dripped down the back of her neck told of the scalp that had been cut away. Numerous bruises lay upon both arms and body; the chains that held her wrists above her head proof enough that she did not have the ability to fight back in turn.

A labored breath echoed in the darkness, Thorn tilting her head to the side even as her eyes slipped closed. Days...weeks..she was no longer sure how long she had really been down here; bruised wrists had long since ceased their struggle to try and break free of those bonds; it had been futile.

Clothing haggard, and body now wishing nothing more then death, a growl gurgled up from the bloodied throat. Rage echoed it, and her eyes slipped open once more, blue eyes replaced with sickly green, which glowed brightly in this place where light never dwelled. She strained once more against her bonds, bloodied long auburn hair falling scraggled in her face, and canines bared in hate.

"I can't die like this. Not like some beaten dog." Thorn thought to herself, straining again even as sharp ears picked up footsteps drawing near. What would it be this time..fingers? an eye? She was not sure, but her silent defiance would definitely continue; she was not about to give him the satisfaction of hearing her scream.

A glint of metal was picked up by her glowing eyes which faded in darkness, the burning of a fist connecting with her already aching gut bringing her to near unconsciousness, even as she felt that needle pierce skin, and she felt herself lose consciousness, her mind too fading to black.

After the Fall

Blood caked features, stained with the bruises received, and beatings that were to come. Haggard, and broken, the huge animal remained chained to the floor, neck held tight by that collar, and the chain now attached to it, claws tearing absently at the ground as they too, were chained down. Tail lashed in infuriation, blue eyes pulsing with anger as she was struck again, and again.

Brain was fading, drifting as what was left of Thorn's spirit drifted to the day before, where, for only a couple of moments, she had won out against his control. Quincy had called her a hero- and she had really taken it to heart. Teeth bared, as the no longer stitched shut bruised lips pulled back in a snarl, even as the strike came between her shoulders, almost daring to snap her spine with the heaviness. She only growled in return, muscles pulling to break free of her bonds. A useless attempt as she was smacked across the face. Breathing hard, her spirit began to break, eyes shifting towards red even as Thorn's soul finally released, bringing back nothing more then the animal that sought Audmathus as her owner; tame, and now sitting quietly still as the beating continued.

In an instant it had been over; she wanted so much not to have given up, and indeed, a part of her still hadn't, but the pain endured was finally too much for the large animal. Struggles ceased and for now, it was content to collapse there, breath wheezing out of exhausted lungs, and tongue lolled out of the side of the animal's mouth. Claws retracted, and body lay there, unconsciousness wrapping its warmth about the large beast.
