They were going to kill her.

Heart pounding, Dani slid from under the arm imprisoning her. Her feet skidded across the damp stone floor as she scrambled under a rickety table in the corner of the room. She pressed her back against the wall and her fingers curled around the wooden legs as curses from the fat woman rang overhead.

That horrible blond man had taken her chest away from her and shoved her into this place. Even though he'd told her she'd get it back, she didn't believe him. He probably wanted to steal all of her treasures and now that he had them, they wanted her dead.

No way would she make it easy on these demons.

"No amount of money in the world is worth this ruckus, not even for the handsome Lord-Whoever-He-Is. Unless of course he gives me a good screw before he fucks this one." The fat woman brayed then dropped to her knees, her eyes glittering with devilish intent. "Come out here, you dirty wench."

Dani kicked at the large coarse hands reaching for her. Fingers dug into her ankle and the large woman gave a sharp tug that slid Dani across the floor. Still clinging to the table legs, the length of her arms stopped her forward progress.

"Loosen her grip," the woman snapped at a nearby maid.

The little maid clawed at Dani's fingers and still she refused to release the splintery wood. If she lost her grip, they'd kill her for sure. The maid slapped at her hand and Dani felt a brief moment of triumph until she felt teeth sink into her knuckles.

"Yeow!" She released her grip as the fat woman gave a vicious yank, propelling her across the damp floor. Dani rolled to her stomach and kicked at the woman's hands, desperate to free herself.

"Red!" her tormentor screamed. "Get in here."

The door flew open and a massive man filled the doorway, his hair as red as the setting sun. For a split second Dani froze. What new demon was about to be let loose upon her?

The grip on her ankles loosened and Dani took the opportunity to give another kick, managing to free herself. The fat woman lunged again and Dani gave another kick, unbalancing her and she stumbled back against the wall.

"Get her," the woman snarled. "Put her into the tub."

A big hand landed on the back of Dani's neck, halting her awkward scramble for safety. Nails dug into her skin as she was hauled to her feet and steered toward a steaming tub of water. She struggled against the restraining grip, but this was no overfed woman. This was a full- grown man who was built as if he were no stranger to wielding a sword all day, every day.

She gave a startled shriek as the giant pushed her into the narrow metal tub. The scalding water soaked her meager clothes and seared her skin. Ruthlessly, her head was shoved under the water and she struggled against the punishing hands as water filled her mouth and nose.
