Her muffled screams were cut short in a sudden cacophony of sounds; her shackles clanking, the thump of the belt against her body, and the blond man yelling as he furiously beat her.

"Did you think just because we didn't hurt you, that it means we won't?! You deserve this, so stop squirming, you little bitch!"

The blonde man, and the black-haired man had spent most of the night interrogating her. Twice in those exhausting hours they had forced her to drink another potion - whatever it was kept her weak and slightly dizzy.

As the pale pink and orange clouds of dawn bloomed in the sky, Opal started to worry.

If she wasn't in her bedroom over the apothecary, would her boss alert the guards? How long would she need to be gone? Would they even bother?

"It's trouble, I'm telling you," the black-haired man insisted, "I don't care what kind of money we could get, as soon as her lineage comes to light -"

"- you mean IF it comes to light. Which I highly doubt. After all, who would think to ask after some un-acknowledged bastard child of a nobody guildmaster?"

Opal felt deflated at their words, because they were right. She had no ties to anyone important that mattered. She was often by herself, so her friends might not even think to look for her...

She was more than happy to live out her life quietly, working with herbs and living in her little room that overlooked the garden.

The reality of her situation washed over her again, and brought a new wave of tears to her eyes. Please, please let someone miss her enough to know she was gone!

"Now, now, don't cry sweet girl, we'll be out of this city in a few days when -" the blond man's words were cut short by a harsh rapping on the door. His gentle expression sharpened instantly, and his brows furrowed, "Quiet, and still," he said to her, and then went to answer.

He opened the door only a crack, and peered outside. Opal couldn't see who it was at the door, but she could hear the clank of armour, and an official voice say: "We're looking for a missing person, have you seen a young dwarf girl? Red hair, brown eyes, works in the apothecary?" The guards!! And they were already looking for her!! Opal's heart leapt, though it was barely beating. She had to alert them that she was here, she had to make some kind of noise!!

She started yelling through her gag, as loud as she could, and stomped her feet on the wooden floor, pulling her arms against the shackles to make them rattle.

"Mmmh!! Mmmmph!" "Shh -!" The black-haired man hissed in a panic, but Opal closed her eyes tightly and kept on. If they wanted to sell her, they couldn't kill her! This could be her only chance!

But after another second, she was sharply cut off by a belt that tightened around her neck, strangling both her yelling and her breath. The black-haired man gave the belt a jerk, making her choke, and yanked one of her arms backwards for good measure. The room swam through her teary eyes, and went shadowy dark around the corners. She desperately tried to struggle, but couldn't get any leverage, she couldn't even reach far enough to try. Sounding distant and far away, she heard the blond man finish his conversation with:

"Ah, yes, that'll be my daughter, just throwing her usual morning tantrum haha. Don't worry, I'll be in touch if I see your dwarf girl. Yes, yes, goodbye then."

Opal wanted to scream, to cry after them:

No! No, please! I'm in here! I'm here, please don't leave!

But the door closed then, and any hope of her escape with it. The black-haired man released her finally, and she gasped painfully for breath as she fell forward. The blond man stood in front of her, no longer smiling gently, his face was frighteningly blank. He silently held a hand out to the black-haired man, and accepted the leather belt from him.

Opal had only just gotten her breath back, when the folded belt struck her over the head with shocking force.

Her muffled screams were cut short in a sudden cacophony of sounds; her shackles clanking, the thump of the belt against her body, and the blond man yelling as he furiously beat her.

"Did you think just because we didn't hurt you, that it means we won't?! You deserve this, so stop squirming, you little bitch!"

"Mm-! M - mmh!" She tried to hide her face, to protect herself and hunch against the beating, but there wasn't much she could do.

"What do you think happens to me if those bastard guards find you here?! Huh?!" He punctuated every few words with another reeling strike, "You think I get to go back to my life?! You selfish little brat!"

"A - Artur, calm down!" The black-haired man snapped, "You'll bring them back!"

With a furious huff, the blond man - Artur - threw the belt to the floor and smoothed a hand through his hair to tidy it up again.

"We'll have to move early," Artur muttered, "be ready by sundown. I'm going for a walk to clear my head."

The black-haired man nodded, looking - through his half-mask - almost nervous as Artur left the room. Opal met his eyes just once, just briefly, and flinched - would he start hitting her too? Would he use the daggers he'd threatened her with last night?

But he didn't. Just went about his own business, wholly ignoring her.

Her body trembled, she groaned through heavy tears, feeling the burn of the striped bruises already beginning to form. Her sorrow spiraled, the pain making it worse.

Everything hurt.

She was trapped.

And now, no one would find her.
