85 THE 16TH ACCOUNT: THE END OF MY ADVENTURE? 7

"Where are you taking me?" I asked as I struggled to let go from his hold.

Eric gripped me tighter and I could feel pain on my wrist as he squeezed. He led me to a secret passageway in the palace. I could remember there were some steps because I nearly stumbled but he held me steady and then dragged me again. It was dimly lit and I feared for my life. What was he planning?

"You're hurting me," I said again. 

He just glared at me but he did not listen. He did not loosen his grip on me either. I was feeling frustrated and helpless and I wanted to cry, which I knew what he wanted. However, I will not give him the satisfaction of winning. I might comply to save my chastity but I will continually be cleverly stubborn.

He pushed a brick wall which was a secret door and suddenly we were in a very luxurious and huge chamber. My heart pounded again. I will scream and scratch and kick if he tries something unpleasant.
