He comes.....

She heard the familar foot steps coming down the small hallway.  As she looked up, his figure stopped in front of her cell.  She moved in the chains as he let out a small snicker.  She still tried to understand why she had been so foolish as to make a deal with this man.

She had sought out the man they called Vengen, to destroy him.  She knew it would be a hard task, but she needed a challenge.  She hadn't expected for him to be waiting for her though, when she arrived at his mansion.  He knew what she wanted.  In exchange, he offered her a deal.  They would spar and whoever was to come to their dying breath first would lose.  The stakes laid down were as follows:  If she won, then she could finish the job and kill him off.  Yet, if he won, then she would be his to do with what he pleased.  ....She foolishly agreed.

He stepped from the shadows and into the little light that came through a mostly blackened window.  "Comfy?" he said.  In answer, she glared at him and wrestled to get free, with the little strength she had at the time.  Though, it did no good.  Vengen just stood there and laughed at her.

Defeated, she sinks back into her cage.  Drowning in hopelessness she thinks..

.~He uses me.  Like a caged pet, he lets me out to do his dirty work.  I've killed so many and caused so much grief.  Their pain, their agony, their dispair are written on the tablets of my soul.  I struggle, resist, and fight for what seems like years, but only takes moments.  His power over me is overhelming, inexcapable, and complete.  No longer a princess, I've become a slave, a weapon... a minion to his evilness.

Where is the light?  Please... someone.... anyone... show me the light of freedom.~
