KNIGHT OF PASSION

CHAPTER ONE

Captured

I paced the cell, worrying that Jorn had not made it through the blue portal. I needed to know that he was okay, not because I needed to be rescued but because I had to know he was still alive. I didn’t think I could go on in a world without him in it. He was everything that was good in a man and if that he was gone then my captors may as well get it over with right now and kill me. Or leave me in this dungeon to rot. Either way made no difference to me if Jorn was dead.

The silver moonlight surrounding me seemed to give me a sense of hope. Surely Jorn had defeated the evil knight in my apartment and was on his way here. He had to be. I had to believe it.

A sudden noise from the corridor beyond the cell door startled me. I turned my head in that direction as heavy keys clattered in the lock and the door opened. A heavy-set guard entered, followed by the blonde in the blue brocade dress. She looked at me with her pretty blue eyes and I was suddenly reminded of every high school bully who had looked at me with disgust because I was the big girl. Insults had followed, and physical violence in some cases, and this lady didn’t look like she was averse to either. I looked at her but didn’t speak.

She held up her hand, Jorn’s pendant dangling from her long fingers. ‘Where did you get this?’ she asked.

‘I found it,’ I lied.

She smiled and I felt my insides go cold. ‘Good,’ she said, ‘you want to do this the hard way.’

‘Not particularly,’ I said, ‘I just want to go home.’

‘Then tell me where you got the talisman. Why were you wearing it?’

I remained silent. I didn’t want to say anything that could compromise Jorn.

When she realised no answer was coming from my lips, she changed her line of questioning. ‘What’s your name?’

‘Amy,’ I replied.

‘Amy,’ she said as if tasting the two syllables. ‘I’m Darla. I decide if your stay at Castle Eldritch is long and tortuous or short and pleasurable. So don’t tempt me to make it the former. We have many devices in this dungeon which you don’t want to become acquainted with.’

No matter what she did, my stay at the castle was going to be tortuous. Not knowing if Jorn was alive or dead was torture enough. As for pleasure, only being with him again would bring me that. This woman could not bribe me to answer her questions. I didn’t know much about being captured by the enemy but the one thing I did know was that you did not talk. I intended to stay silent and wait for my rescuer.

‘Are you listening to me?’ she snapped.

When I didn’t answer, she came forward and grabbed a handful of my hair, pulling my head back. I gasped as pain flared through my skull.
