BRUTALITY

Michelle screams like a pig being killed when a strong hand grabs a handful of her black hair and pulls her up by the gentle strands. The savage people are laughing as Drinks of Waterfall pushes my maid towards Three Horses. Three horses grab Michelle and use a rope to tie her hands together while Drinks of Waterfall holds her arms down.

My maid is tied up and carried over Three Horses' shoulder. I crouch down in the bushes as Drinks of Waterfall gets closer again. 

He looks at me. I am aware that he can see me. He bends down and grabs my soft brown hair, pulling so hard that it hurts and makes my scalp bleed.

I scream in agony, reaching for the barbarian's hands. Three horses turn their heads and smile, quietly saying something to their friend. They likely liked and approved of me getting caught.

I fought back when Drinks of Waterfall tried to bind my hands with leather strips of rope. The rough person gets mad and growls after I hit him hard in the belly. Then, he laughs at me when I make a weak sound because the ropes around my wrists are too tight and hurting me.

"Come with me. " I whisper sharply to him. I hit at Drinks Of Waterfall as he carried me on his strong, copper-colored shoulder. He doesn't pay attention to me—but I shouldn't be surprised. He's a very rude person. And the barbarians are very cruel to fair-skinned people.

I find it difficult as he takes me through the woods as if I am a simple bag of flour, not paying attention to the bad words I say, not listening to my cries, and not responding to my requests.

"You're acting like a wild creature. " I yell, forcefully kicking my feet against his chest. Waterfall Drinks growls, lifting his hand and hitting my backside forcefully on the smooth fabric.

I shout in surprise and frustration. I have a lot of difficulty and it's become even more challenging. "You will suffer greatly for what you have done. " He forcefully puts me down and holds me like a baby with one arm while taking out a cloth from his bag that he carries on his shoulder.

The cloth is brown, but it has weird white stuff on it. The person forces the thing into my mouth without my consent. I successfully bit his finger while he was doing something, and it made him bleed. However, the white stuff on the cloth was causing me to feel sleepy and as if my body was squishy without any bones. I closed my eyes while the rude person cursed and cleaned his injured finger on my pretty red silk outfit.

I strongly dislike him. I strongly dislike him.

When I wake up, the delicious smell of cooking meat grabs my attention. I move my head away from the warm shoulder that I had been drooling on and open my eyes. There was music playing and meat cooking. Women were dressed in animal skins and they were making baskets while taking care of little naked babies running around on the ground.

I hold onto the person carrying me tightly and my eyes close again. It is difficult to keep my eyes open and I still feel very tired.

I open my eyes and take a good look at what's around me. I notice stone buildings, tents, and different kinds of wooden houses. I saw a woman making a basket while her baby boy, who had copper-colored skin, ran naked around a fire. Another woman was cooking meat over the fire.

"I say in a low voice, "Michelle," as I regain consciousness. " I'm scared as I look up. Where am I? The only thing I can recall is being in the forest, trying to escape from the barbarians.

I stare at the person carrying me. He had wide copper shoulders and long black hair that was made into a fuzzy braid that was as long as his hips. I observe the peaceful expression on his face. It's a beverage made from a waterfall.

I am very scared and immediately start to fight as I see Three Horses carrying an unconscious Michelle on their backs. "Nobody is arguing," Waterfall says sharply. We are very close.

My heart beats fast in my chest. There's no point in trying because I am aware that I won't get away from Drinks of Waterfall's grasp; and even if I managed to, I would be caught again quickly. I was in a wild kingdom. I was surrounded by people but they all treated me like an outcast.

My face was dry from crying, and I started to sob helplessly in the arms of the scary man because I had no more tears left to cry. I promised to never get caught because I didn't want to become a sex slave.

I promised to Ulrich, and I planned to always remember and cherish that promise in my heart and mind. We were getting closer to a very big building that looked like a castle. It had a bridge that could be pulled up or down, and there was a river with clean water flowing underneath it. This building was in a place ruled by people called barbarians. Children play in it, women clean their clothes in it, and men use it for drinking and fishing. He lifts me and takes me across it while following Three Horses with Michelle. The large room we enter is filled with rich barbarians. They have fancy jewelry around their necks instead of bones. They were laughing while sitting at long rows of tables and greedily eating fried chicken legs. Also, they were using their dirty hands to pick up their food.

When the men saw three horses and a waterfall with drinks, they started cheering loudly. A person shouted, "We want to see more women" as they stood on a table and held up their cup of beer towards the sky. I saw the brown liquid moving around in his cup and slowly running down his arm.

Screw All of them.
