ELISA

“Give me your hands…”

I stared at the enormous hands stretched out toward me - hands so large I knew they would swallow mine whole if I dared place them there.

I lifted my gaze to the man before me who was offering his hand, and I knew instantly that I would do whatever he asked of me.

He looked so breathtaking.

The kind of man who made the young girls in the village ponder all the unholy temptations the old nuns at the convent warned us about during catechism.

His eyes were dangerously — almost seductively — black, and his skin looked like that of a noblewoman who was used to bathing in milk and honey.

I imagined what it would feel like under my touch, and it shamed me that my rough palms, which were used to weeding the garden and mixing dough for bread, were no match at all for his.

His hair was dark and thick, and the front swept back into a neat ponytail that relaxed over the loose bunch behind it like a silk curtain.

I looked at his hands again, almost tempted to hold the

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   FIELD DAY

    Elisa…The coming days did nothing to make me feel better about myself.Even when I found out the girl was still alive, but gravely ill.And like a punishment for my own crime, the next few nights tormented my body in a way I had never experienced.My body burned with fever, leaving me to sweat all night and shiver all day like a wet leaf, in winter.It didn’t help that the nightmares were back - incoherent faces that told no real tale but snippets of a danger I was already living in.“I told you you needed to get out of that gown. You haven’t even seen a thing yet. I wonder how you will survive the field in the coming days,” the girl said to me one night when I shivered so badly that I kept throwing up.Everyone had moved as far away from me as possible, as if I carried a curse they didn’t want to share in.They would rather move to the feared end of the room than come close to the sickly girl who was touched.I pretended not to hear what she had said, even when I wanted to ask her w

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   A LITTLE MORE TIME

    Lucien…I found her…I found her crouched in the garden over the swollen earth that marked my parents’ graves.She had her back to me as she bent forward on the grave and did something I could not see from where I was.I stood there for what seemed like an eternity and wondered what to think, what to do.I had never allowed anyone around their graves.It was the only thing in my cursed life that I could still guard with jealousy as only mine. A sacred space I alone had shared with them since I was born and old enough to understand a few things.Watching her kneeling there like she was in her own space, too, unsettled me in different ways.It annoyed me as much as it melted my insides.But I just couldn’t let her in yet.No! I wasn’t ready to share that part of my life yet, no matter how empty it was.“W-what are you doing there?” I finally asked after what seemed like an eternity of standing there and watching her move, but not enough for me to see what she was doing.She turned slowl

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   I DARE YOU TO SAY A WORD

    Elisa…Long after the whole cell had gone silent, and the small light from a window very high in the wall had disappeared, I felt a hand jab me abruptly from my sleep.I wouldn’t even call it a normal sleep when I could still feel tiny worms in my stomach eating me up from the inside, since they haven’t had any food.I jerked awake instantly and looked into the darkness at no one in particular.The hand jabbed my side again, and my weak, hungry heart began to beat rapidly.I thought of the women at the far end of the room.Had they noticed how weak I was during the day and decided I could be a good meal?I opened my mouth to scream, but only a whimper escaped my mouth, and a hand suddenly closed my mouth.There was no strength left in me for a struggle, but my hands still tried to fight back.“Shh,” the voice was so close to my ears, and my heartbeat slowed its pace.The hand finally came off my mouth at last, and in its place, a fishy smell hit my nose, and finally my mouth.I didn’t

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   WHO ARE YOU?

    Lucien…‘Son of Thorne, the last great son of Odin…’The voice was loud and shook the whole manor like an earthquake…Or was I somewhere else?I was surrounded by darkness and lightning, with an ominous red ball in the sky, casting eerie shadows over the empty land around me.I turned around, still standing at one spot, and tried to recall the last time I had heard that voice.‘You are still a long way from becoming a man, but still too close to losing your youth,’ the voice echoed, and I stopped moving and just stared straight into the sky, as if what I was looking for was in there.“Who are you?”‘I am your father, and your father before you,’ the voice seemed to be standing in front of me at some point, then beside me, and then far away from me.‘I am you, son, ’ it came from behind me this time.“Then why don’t you show yourself?” Kieran growled from within me.I was beginning to wonder if it was one of my nightmares or if I was really awake.Then how did I get here?‘I see you f

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   I KNOW YOU

    Elisa…There was no use in fighting anymore.I staggered back weakly as I watched one of the guards raise the serving spoon and hit it loudly and continuously on the pot, announcing that the soup had finished.I watched aswomen mumbled but stayed around, still waiting for something that might not come.I wanted to stand and wait too; maybe there was just a little more.But I was so far behind to even hope for a tiny leftover.I staggered back to the end of the room, wishing I had not even left my spot in the first place.My body slid down the wall slowly, and my legs gave in before I could position myself well enough to sit.I leaned my head against the wall, listening to my stomach rumble with emptiness, and my body slowly jerking with pain and desperation.I will be dead soon.I can see it all so clearly now.There is no way I will survive another day without food.Those flesh eaters will have me before the guards do, and there was nothing I could do about it.I shut my eyes and wis

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   MOVE AWAY

    Elisa…Days passed.Days that dragged on like decades, and it was during that time that I realized why many of them were quiet, while others forced me to remain quiet.It was due to hunger, and the strong sea wind that sometimes swept into the darkness and swallowed away every last drop of energy in our bodies as it tossed lifeless forms left and right in the room.I sat at the same corner of the room where I had been since the first day I was brought in, with my head hanging weakly against the wooden wall.It was the safest place to be, at least.Each time the wind came, I only had to hold on to a hanging chain from the wall until the wind stopped.Once, my hand had slipped from the slimy chain, but was held back from flying to the other end of the room by the young girl who remained close to me.Her weak frame had held on tightly to my hands until the wind subsided, and in between that moment, tears had slipped from her eyes, from the unbearable pain of holding on to me.One woman b
