Abigail

Bad Apple in the Barrel

The cheer eruptes at the arena as the gladiators fights on the arena, each blows, each strikes, landed makes the spectator roars, and every cuts makes the crowds wilder…

But not Dorian…. He frowns as he saw his lesser fighter’s head severed by the axe swing by his opponents…

“Not your day, apparently, Master dorian..” Said madame Ko, covering her chuckles with her hand fan…

All the VIP guests at the their tibune, undertands clearly the subtle sarcasms given by the woman dressed in black, as his fighter held the severd head of Dorian’s fighter….

But they too feeling that there’s something that a little off….

For yeasr Dorian’s dominated the arena, yes he had losses, but it was so scarce, he haven’t loss a fightersin years…

But today… It was already his third loss, and they still have seven more including the main event….

“I believe that today we will witness a new champion will be born, teeheee…” Chuckled Madame Ko, as her fourth fighter comes to the arena….

****

“Well Madam, I believe, the history remains, afterall….” Said one of the VIP, as the tide turns, and House of Dorian’s was still victorious….

“Next match, then…” Said Madame ko, stands up abruptly and leaves the arena, after the last of her fighter was killed by Andrei, the champion of the house of Dorian….

Yet the master was not happy….

It was a barely win….

Even Andrei, his champion, almost lose the battle if not because his champion mentalilty and his experience makes him win the fight, but not as dominating as before…

*****

The afterparty held by the House of Dorian was still marvelous, the array of varies food mouthwatering, tasty and delicious….

The entertainment was splendid, the circus, musics, and exotic dancing tries to boost the moot that still feels gloomy and awkward….

“Nice party, Dorian…. Always the best… Considering….” Said Madame ko, who comes to the after party, which makes a group of officials who attend the party, all awkward to the sarcasm from the Madame who chuckles and hid her smile behind her hand fan…

“All to commemorate our fallen fighters….” Said Dorian, smiled at the woman whose eyes sharpened, and her facial expresion changed while tension filled the room….

“Now, now…. This is for fun, right….” Said the high official trying to break the tension between the two…

Madame Ko then withdraw and mingle with another guests, and take the complementary drink circled by Mia…

Abigail could have swear that she saw a look of rcognision between Madame Ko and Mia, as if they had some connection… Yet it was brief…

Madame Ko must have visiten numerous time… Mia has been tending her more than one occasion…. She thought, try to reason the exchange look she saw between the two….

“Abigail, go fetch more wines…” Ordered the butler that makes the girl already forget what she saw, and quikly went to the wine cellar….

****

Everyone was happy except for one fighters, the rookie fighter who was not even being called in the roster of fighting and doesn’t included in the fight, or the party….

The fact that he is not the only one that not being included in the show off at the mansion doesn’t make his mood any better….

“I should be in there….! I am better fighter than most of those phoney…” He shouts as his companions just ignores him completely….

“You guys are pathetic…. I’m off to blow some steam…” He said, as he walks to the door of the fighter’s ccomodation…

“You want to trade punches with the guard out there…?” Asked one of the fighter, smirking at the trainee, who grunts but leave the door knob that just underneath his palm, and went to a window some of the fighters use to break out, and met with some house slaves somewhere secluded to blow off their steams…

And there was an unlucky house slave who just come from storage to take more wine….

She never saw the man jumped her…

“Mmmphhh…!” She tries to scream when the man muffled her mouth with his rough hand and dragged her to the bushes where the girl was kicking, franticly tries to escaps but a jab to her kindey makes her stuggle stopped…

The girl was panic when the man lifted up her tunic, and can feel the man pressing her phalus on her opened labia when…

“Argh…!”

The trainee roll off the slaves body when someone hits him in the head with a stick, and he saw Abigail, holding a broom stick she uses to hit the man…

“Go…!’ Shouts Abigail to the house slave that dashed out the location…

Abigail too tries to run when the trainee shoots his hand and grabbed Abigails ankle, makes the girl slammed on the ground…

“You b***h…!” Said the trainee Jumped on the girls stomach as she rolled on her back, and slapped her cheek hard….

All those horrific memory of her being forced against her will flooded in….

And like that day, she was feeling helpless, when she has allher lothes torn off, and the man slapping her face she tries to cover with her arms….

God… Please… don’t let that this happened again…. Help me…! She screams in her heart as she struggles to get the man off her body, but when his punch landed on her face, which makes the back on her head slammed to the ground, making her dizzy and disorientd but feel the man ripping her tunic to pieces…

She weeps as he feels the man lowering his shorts kicking her legs apart…. Again she feel so vurnerable, helpless, weak….

But then, she feels a stone was in her palm, and then…

“Agh…. Son of a b***h…!” Shout the trainee when the stone hits his temple, makes of once again off the body of the women he assaulted….

Abigail tries to run but the trainee already off the ground and blocked her….

“hahaha, what do you want to do, eh, b***h…? Fight me…? Good… I rather have my bitches fight than just lie like a log,…” Said the trainee, chuckling as he saw Abigail with her torn tunic, revealing everything underneath it….

But what makes him chukled more is to see the girl stances….

He taunts the girl with short jabs, that makes the girl off balance before he torpedoed the girl, pinned her on the ground again and ready to bash her face with his fists…

“Akh! s**t…!” Shout the man when Abigail grabbed a handfullof dirt and throw it to the trainee’s face…

Abigail swung and….

Crack….!

She can see blood burst out from the temple of the trainee as she hits hard with the rock she was holding…

The trainee curled on the ground covering his body from the angry kisck from the girl, and at one point he managed to grab her ankle and dragged her so she slammed down to the ground….

She was strugling to get free, clawing the ground as the trainee grabbed and dragged her by her ankle towards him…

She then turned and kicked the man on his face, and get her ankle free…

She got up and sdashed to the mansion while the man chased her and once again shoots himself at her, so they both fall to the ground….

He turned her on her back, sits on her stomach and ready to beat her mercilessly when…

“Agh…. Let go of me!” Shouts the trainee when muscular hand choked him from behind and dragged him off the girl, who quickly stands up and about to hit the trainee when another hand grabbed her from behind….

“The house of Dorian needs to take care of its house members apparently, teehee..” Chuckled Madame Ko, that once again sparks the tension in the air, as the group of VIP along of other guests crowds at the balcony where they saw the trainee and Abigail being detanied, by the guards of the house…

“The House of Dorian, knows how to, Madame Ko… No need to worry…” Said Dorian sternly, and looked at the guard….

“Lock her in solitary convinement….” That’s all he said and Abigail was sobbing silently as she was half dragged towards the training field…

She can see all fighters looking at her, but she saw no pity on their faces as the guard bring her to the center of the field and one of the guard grab a rope that burried under the sand where the fighters trained, and pulls it…

Abigail was stunned to see a large timber plank raises up….

“Please…” She begged to the guard who said nothing but to pushes her inside a wooden crate that hid underneath the ground…

“Please…! Help..!” She screams, feeling terrified getting burid inside the coffin on the ground…

But her scream was muffled, and instead of help, she hears the clanging of the swords, the banging of the weight, sounds of blows exchange, body thuds….

All the dust that fell over her body makes her panicked even more…. Feeling that the dust will burried her alive….

But when the night comes, she was weeping, sobbing, alone I the dark, nothing but chirping of insect that fills the cramped coffin she was stuffed in….

****

Abigail was dizzy, wobbly, has to had her boddy dragged by tho guars back to the house… Her body smelled since she solied herself out of fear and frustrtation, and tossed to the ground, where above her, in the balcony, Dorian looked at the gilr curled on the ground….

“Send her to my study…” He said, and enters his study, while Abigail, as she being dragged to the mansion, saw the trainee was crucified on a timber beam, with legs hanging on the air, with hazy eyes, she saw the blood flows from the trainee mouth, and crotch, which possibly signs that the poor guy tongue was cut-off and being castrated… And judgging by the stiffness and the buzzing flies, the trainee surely had dead the night she was burried underground….

The guards dragged the weak girl to thwr master’s study while the fighter started their training for the day, and Mia was looking from afar, worried of the fate of the girl, but there’s nothing she can do, but to continue her daily chores, and only hope for miracles for the girl….

****

Once again Abigail have herself side-sitting In front fo the man…. But now it was on his study floor….

Her head dangling down, her eyes blank, her lips were crackled from thirsts, andher stomach gurgling out from hunger after two days being cramped inside the coffin….

Slowly Dorian move towrds the girl, put a bowl in front of the girl, and pour a liquid into it….

“No hands….” He said,and without any hesitation Abigail drop herself to the ground and drinking directly out of the bowl, stopped a moment, surprised to taste the liquidt that tasted like honey and ginger, and it makes her drink the liquid gratefully, and to show her gratitute, she then prostrtate in front of the man….

“You gave me a great deal of loss, and humiliation in front of my guests….” Said Dorian to the girl…

“And for that you need to be punished….” Said Dorian and have the guard brought the girl out off the Mansion…

“Oh, Bee…. Thank God that master spare your live….” Said Mia, looking relieved looking at her friend, and sad to see the girl will live outside the wall of mansion….

“Be strong, Bee…. Maybe one day, Master will forgive you, and we can be together again….” Said Mia, holding her friend’s hand as long as possible until the guard pushes Abigail away and send her off the main island and went to smaller island, and from afar Abigail saw a large palm tree plantation before they jettied and she was escorted to a small accomodation….

“Ah…. Fresh meat….”

Her heart sank upon hearing the phrase, and to see five muscular, and heavy sets men, rugged, rough, laughing menacingly towards her….
