The priest cringed in fear as the lord drew his sword. at that moment lily had open the door she let out a scream of terror when she saw the lord with his sword drawn about to kill her uncle.

"lily run!" the priest screamed as he saw his niece stand in the door but her feet were forever there for a moment. then she began to run but tripped before she could make it out of the church

Michael sheathed his sword and ran after her. He saw her trip and fall, giving him the chance to grab her. He was right on top of her when she regained her footing, but it was too late, Michael had grabed the collar of her dress and pulled her up and threw her over his shoulder. When she was over his shoulder, Michael began to walk outside to his horse, knowing that if the high priest should interfere, he would be killed.

Lily heard footsteps behind her and she quickly got up but it was to late. the lord grabbed the collar of her dress and then she was lifted off the ground. she kicked him and hit him with her hands "help some one help!" her uncle came to the door just in time to see the lord mount his horse with lily it was to late there was nothing he could do

"Listen miss, if you don't shut up, you'll suffer terribly." Michael said as he began to return to his keep with her laying down in his saddle. To prevent her from escaping or falling off and running away, Michael held on to her arse tightly. As they approached his keep, Michael spoke to her. "Now listen, if you do everything I tell you to do, I'll let you live, is that clear?"

She was still fighting him even after he told her not to. she had a lot of sprite more than most girls in the village. "let me go!" she demanded. then threaten her life and that didn't even seem to phase her "then go on and kill me then! it would be better than having you do whatever it is you are going to do!"

"Since you seem to treasure death, I'll send you to him, after I am done with you, whether you want to or not." Micahel bellowed as he rode into the keep's stable. Once in, Michael dismounted his horse and picked her up and threw her over his shoulder again and began to walk into the castle itself.

"your a monster! your the one that deserves death! and i know no one will mourn you once you are gone" she screamed at the top of her lungs right in his ear. she was kicking and clawing at him. she didn't know what he was going to do to her but whatever it was it could not be good.

"My you're a rowdy one. Well, that can be fixed quite easily." Michael said as he carried her in and towards a dark, dank and filthy section of the castle. When he finally stopped, Michael handed her to one of the castle gaurds. "Welcome to your new home. You'll spend many miserable days and nights here." Michael said to her. He then spoke to the gaurd. "Strip her nude, but no one but me is to touch her...oh and chain her up while you're at it. Can't have her running away."

"you will go straight to hell for this" she screamed she was handed off the gaurds. she couldn't believe what was happening to her. she still did not know the reason as to why this was all happening.

just then her uncle came running down the hall towards them "please sir please don't do this to her. please as a favor to me i have served you well these past years protecting your immortal soul please do not do this to my niece. "

Michael saw the priest running to him. He told the guard to stop while he listened to him. "....Alright. If you can find a family that is willing give any of their daughters up to me within three weeks, I'll give your niece back. However... if no family will give up their daughter or three weeks pass and you have yet to find a woman, then your niece becomes mine and you will have to deliver the news in person. Does that sound fair?" Micahel asked as he tilted his head in curiousity.

The priest felt so defeated how could he ask anyone else to let there child go through this pain. "who my lord there is no left. how is that fair if i have no one left to ask?" hopefully the lord knew that there was no one left and he would not press it anymore

"....Alright, I'll let you travel to the neighboring villages. They have yet to contribute. Though the trip on foot will take at least two weeks. Though on horse back the trip is just a few days. I'll let you borrow one of my horses and give you eight weeks. But if you lose the horse, or don't find a women....don't come back at all. Is that clear?" Michael said as he glared at the priest. When Michael glared, there was no reasoning.

the priest had to think for a long time before he looked at his niece "lily my dear i am sorry i can't do that. he wants to use woman to try and force them to have his child then when he doesn't get what he wants he banishes them. i can't ask another family to give up there child...." she priest looked down. then an idea hit him he looked to the lord "why don't you marry my niece, atleast that way after she is unable to get pregnant she will not be banished and she will have a roof over her head. you can have mistresses if lily can not bare you a child."

"Hmm..." Michael had to think on the offer the priest gave him. He could marry his niece and keep her, even if she didn't conceive he could still use her for his sexual desires. "I already know your niece will object to the idea, but what about her parents? Do you think they will object?" Michael asked the priest. He was hoping that the priest wasn't lying to him, just to free his niece.

"i don't think they will, as long as you treat her well. it is better than having there daughter used and tossed out on the street and not being able to find a proper husband because her virginity has been taken" he could not even bring himself to look at lily as he spoke
