Kill the Pigg

“On your hands and knees like I showed you. Good.” Pigg turned to Avery Denna. “See? Just like I said, does what you tell her to without a word.” He smiled complacently as Avery Denna nodded his approval. Pigg turned back to the small young girl still bent over on the floor, the two men could see tears drop from her downward face onto the stone floor. Pigg immediately turned to rage and kicked the girl’s frail back. “No crying!” He barked as she hit the floor face first. He marched around her, “how many times do I have to tell you?! Get up.”  She struggled to bring herself back on her hands and knees. He turned back to Avery Denna, who was watching, his steel expression unchanging. “As you can see, she’s still learning,” said Pigg, “though she’s submissive, she’ll cry from time to time.” He turned his ugly head back to the trembling girl kneeling on the floor. “But I’ll break her in soon enough.” He squatted down to her level, “You’ve been a bad girl” he whispered in her ear. “Don’t you think you deserve to be punished?” The girl mechanically nodded, still staring at the floor, swallowing her tears. “Why don’t you ask Mr. Denna to help us out.” Pigg said in a silky voice. He stood up, “Go on. Get up.” He said, kicking her again in the ribs. The girl painfully got to her feet, head still bowed and shoulders hunched, she walked across the room to Avery Denna. “P-please,” She said, her voice shaking, “please M-mister Denna, punish me.” Avery Denna did not move a muscle, but only stared at the quivering girl in front of him. “Like I said,” said Pigg in the back, “She’s learning. You can help me break her in. She’s already quite special  and often requested, I have a feeling she’ll be my favorite in time.” He had walked over to the wall to the left of them and began unhooking chains that were connected to the stone. The girl flinched at the sound. “Come here.” Pigg commanded her. She slowly walked over to him, still not lifting her head. Pigg roughly placed her against the wall , facing him and clasped shackles on her scarred wrists, still sore from the last time. He chained her to the wall so that her back was completely pressed against it  and her arms were extended, reaching a little above her head, which was still hung, her hair falling like a dark curtain around her face. Pigg was tightening the chains as Avery Denna walked up behind him and he was saying, “I tell you, you will not be disappointed for investing in this one. She’s quiet but when she screams.....whew....I get chills just thinking about it. She’s got the sweetest scream you’ll eve-” He was stopped short for the gleaming tip of a sword stuck out from the front of his thick neck. Heavy, red blood splattered along the wall and the girl, who had only lifted her head enough to see a extremely bloody, disgruntled Pigg drop down at her feet and reveal Avery Denna standing there, wiping off his sword with one of Pigg’s handkerchiefs. With that, he slipped the sword back in its sheath hanging from his belt, and took one step over the body of Pigg and he looked into the girls surprised, terrified face. Still trembling, and head still partly hung. He took her chin in his hand and raised her face towards him. She stared back into his utterly unemotional eyes.

“Forgive me,” he said softly. She said nothing, only stared back, wishing he’d move closer.

He did. His hand slid from her chin to her cheek as he leaned in. “Please,” he said, “try to forgive me.” He pressed his lips against hers. She closed her eyes. “I already have,” she whispered.

Avery Denna kissed her slow and soft, making the cut on her lip throb. He slipped his hand across her back and pulled her close. Chains rattled. When he pulled his face away from hers, he simply stared at her. The girl appeared calm but the never-ceasing trembling gave her away, Avery Denna let go a short, quiet laugh, “still scared of me, huh? Well I can imagine this place hasn't helped your fears.”

He backed away and started on releasing her,  the girl stared at the dead body of Pigg as he undid her chains. “How did you find me?” Avery Denna removed the shackles from her wrists, “I had a feeling you’d end up in a place like this,” he said, “I searched all the bordellos in the Filippa area; word about Pigg having a new attraction traveled quickly”

The girl searched his face, “why?”  "Why what?” “Why did you look for me?”

Avery Denna gazed at her, no definable emotion on his face, “because you belong to me.”

The girl returned his look. “Come on, “ he said turning towards the door, his hands in his pockets. She rubbed her sore wrists and followed him.
