Let me tell you, I'm vicious
Not pass-aggressive
I got my finger on my pulse, staring straight into a hole and I'ma get it
And I'm a savage
It's automatic
I got a way of making noise, the power to destroy with no static
Now victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to ten
Ellie felt something change inside of her as she stood to full height. The vile water dripping from her hair and armour.
"Come on sweety, you and me, we can share that cart and get outa this water." One of the male slaves said with a grin that might be described as toothy if he had any teeth.
Ellie's eye twitched as she looked down, being submissive had began to become normal. Yes patron, yes matron. All day, day after day. Keep your head bowed. Don't make eye contact. That was for Drow, not these... Living garbage.
I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (witness)
'Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord
The tusked creature growled at the two humans and stepped forward asserting dominance as he reached to grab Ellie.
The peace keepers above the pit glanced at eachother with amused smirks as they shookhands on some sort of bet.
Ellie saw the movement of the creature. Her reaction was instant, a skill honed by hundreds of hours of training. Her scimitar flew out of her sheath in a blur chopping the hand of the creature off. As the creature howled in pain she didn't relent but lunged at the creature. Her attacks were savage not elegant, she simply hacked at the creature until it fell backwards with a splash, lifeless.
You gotta feel courage
Embrace possession
If it was easier to shatter everything that ever mattered
But it's not, because it's your obsession
Be a fighter, backbone, desire
Complicated and it stings, (but we both know what it means)
And it's time to get real and inspired
The observing peacekeepers laughed merrily as they watched.
The two male slaves stumbled back in the water as they saw the tusked creature easily dispatched. "H-Hey now girly let's be sensible yeah? The wagon is all yours!" One slave stammered as the other nodded.
Compassion and mercy were qualities Ellie had left behind. She was still hurt from the mauling she received from the hammer from her master and she didn't know how long she could fight. So she decided to finish it right here.
She lunged wordlessly towards the other slaves and dispatched them quickly and easily ignoring their cries of pain. Covered in blood and stinking of rotten water Ellie climbed into the hay wagon and stretched out happily. She shot the peace keepers a look then lowered her head and eyes to them. She knew her place.
The peacekeepers smirked at eachother as coin exchanged hands and they left amused with the entertainment they had seen.
Ellie was trapped in the pit until someone let her out. She tried to ignore the stench of the water. Her skin crawled. She felt slimey, disgusting, and would surely become sick. Atleast she was out of the water and could dry off.
She closed her eyes. She felt half asleep but otherwise spent most of her time staring at the rock wall blocking the feeling of disgust.
"What would your father think of you now?" Ellie shoved the thought away. It hurt to much to think.
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord
*Didn't just do that* As an arrow flies hitting someone in the face.
