Chapter Eleven

Wiggling and kicking furiously, Mildred tried to get loose from her captors, but the two cannies holding her only tightened their grips and gave a guttural laugh. This infuriated the woman, and she struggled even harder, but with the same lack of results.

A strip of cloth was tied around her eyes, and scratchy ropes bound her wrists and ankles. With surprising ease, the men were carrying her like a suitcase, her back constantly bumping into the ground. First sand, and now rock.

Mildred had nearly died when they went under water, and ever since they emerged, the wind and sand were gone, the air oddly cool and echoes came the distance. Obviously they were underground in some sort of a cave, or cavern. In cold logic, the physician knew that wasn’t good. John would never stop searching for her, but while Ryan and Jak were both superb trackers, she doubted if even they could find her now. That water entrance trick was sheer genius. Grimly, Mildred had to accept the fact that she was alone in this, unlike last time, and would need to free herself. Somehow.

The ground dipped slightly as the cannies hauled her through some sort of a doorway. In passing, Mildred got a gentle bump on the head, and realized this was her chance. Instantly the woman grunted as loud as she could and went completely limp.

The two cannies tightened their grips in response, then slowed their walking and shook her. It took everything Mildred had to stay slack, letting her head loll sideways, tongue extended. She was blindfolded, but they could see, so she had to make it good. Only had one chance at this.

Come on, boys, Mildred chided mentally. You only want live food. If I die on the way to the table, you’re both in dutch with the boss.

With a jarring thump, she landed on the hard ground and gave no response. Mildred heard the two men mumbling angrily in an unknown language. One offered a suggestion that the other shot down. Then he countered with an idea of his own that the first cannie didn’t seemed too pleased with. This went on for a few moments, then clearly some sort of decision was reached. The cannie holding her wrists knelt and started feeling her head to search for a wound among her beaded locks, while the one holding her bound ankles started pinching her calf.

Which meant that he had only one hand holding her ropes.

Moving fast, Mildred snapped her head around and buried her teeth into the cannie’s hand. He screamed and began slapping her face with his free hand. Mildred swung her bound wrists to find his leg, slid up his hairy thighs and grabbed his genitals to bury her fingernails deep into the soft tissues, then twisted and yanked with every ounce of strength she possessed.

The man shrieked in response. Shouting angrily, the other cannie released her ankles. Moving fast, Mildred brought up her knees and kicked out with both of her boots, heels first.
