Indartha

Other than meals and water, I remained gagged. Sartine ordered me to speak no words whenever she removed the gag to feed me, forcing a promise first, and so I spoke not a single word.

I would have apologized for the fight, and she knew it. But I had my back up about the title. I refused to acknowledge she held a position of authority over me. I would have argued it with her, but she didn't allow an argument. Instead, periodically, she offered to allow me to apologize, with her title, and each time, I refused.

The nights remained long and cold.

I couldn't have been more miserable.

During our lunch break on the fourth day in the mountains, they propped me against a tree and bound my legs. Ten minutes later, she returned with both her uncles and two of the other men. I still hadn't learned everyone's name. When they spoke to each other, it was all done so rapidly, I couldn't catch names. And no one had spent significant effort teaching me names.

Sartine knelt down in front of me. "You know my question."

I glanced up at the men, waiting for me.

"They're for something else. I am not changing my demand. Will you do what I want?"

And I shook my head.

"Cecilia, I believe you will feel humiliated if we arrive in Indartha while you are gagged. Will you please reconsider?"

I shook my head.

"We will not arrive today. It will be sometime tomorrow. But an hour ago, we passed an important landmark, and I now wish to tie your hands the other way. That is why they are here." I looked back up at the men, then back to her. "This is the last time I will ask before we arrive in Indartha sometime tomorrow. If you turn me down, you will remain gagged at least until after our arrival. Furthermore, you will also arrive hungry and thirsty, as I am not removing your gag for meals or water."

I looked away.

"Please, Cecilia."

And I shook my head.

"Your arrival in Indartha will be much more pleasant if you give me this small thing. You know I'm right about that."

It wasn't a small thing, and I didn't even bother responding.

"I wish-" she paused. "So be it. We are going to retie your hands the other way. I have more than enough help. Will you cooperate?"

I looked back at her, and I didn't discourage the tear from crawling down my face. If she was bothered by it, she didn't react. But I nodded agreement. I would cooperate.

She took me at her word. She was the only one who touched me. She untied my hands and allowed me to massage my wrists for a minute. But then she said, "Cross them," and I did, palms up, the way she had done it before. She bound them, and she didn't need to order me to reach over my head. She secured them that way and tested everything.

"I-" she looked into my face. "Please, Cecilia. Please. We both need this.
