The Reluctant Knight
“She couldn't see what they'd done to her back, but she knew it hurt whenever anything came into contact with it. On top of that, where her bra straps and fastening hooks sat, they had dug in, and she thought they might have even cut her skin.
When they'd torn her dress from her Amelia had expected worse to follow, but it seemed they weren't going to touch her for now. However, she'd decided she wasn't going to wait to find out, if she could help it.
Now that she didn't have the bug she was trul...y on her own, and that meant she needed to escape if she wanted to live. Facing your own death as an alternative was a powerful motivator.
Before they'd shut the door on her she'd seen the two guards take up position on either side. At every opportunity she'd got she'd studied everyone she'd come into contact with, trying to make use of any little details that told her something about the men. Some of it seemed like it might be useful.
While she was trying to think of a good way to put it to use, Amelia felt her mind drifting off.MoreLess
