She wakes to complete darkness and feels a presence near her. She punches as hard as she can at the unseen presence and is rewarded with an hp bar flickering. Throwing off the covers and jumping out of bed she continues to attack. But being only able to make out a vague shadow is unable to land any decisive hits, however she does cause her assailants hp to go into the yellow.

The shadow also begins to grapple with her for a few moments before Sam feels cold metal around her neck and a locking noise.

“Stop slave.” A male voice from behind directs her.

Sam instantly stops moving.

“Took you long enough.” A male voice from in front of her response.

“Hey! What is going on! ” Kate says waking up.

“You’re just having a bad dream, go back to sleep.” The male voice commands again.

“I’m having a bad dream, oh well back to bed.” Kate and the other young women quiet down and go back to sleep.

“Follow me slave.” The man says before opening the door and leaving the room.  Sam follows him out.  Once outside Sam can see the two men are part of the guides although she hasn’t see them before.

“She hits hard.” One of the guides gasps for breath.

“Why do you think we have so many controls over them? If they get loose they will be worse than the demons. The other Kingdoms are insane for just trusting them without extra security.”

“Well if they are that dangerous why do we mess around with the suggestion necklaces and bracers? Why not just use slave collars for them. No freewill, no problems.”

[Actually I do have freewill. I just can’t move. Really need to find a freedom of movement belt for how often this happens.]

“Because no freewill means no mana, no hp protection and they will just stand here doing nothing until someone tells them to do something. Not very useful.”

[I can still use my inner voice. I wonder if I can use it to command my body?]

“And we put a slave collar on this one why then?”

“Because she resisted the suggestion necklace. Remember, dangerous.”

[Body give them the silent middle finger for 1 second.]

Sam feels her hand flip off the duo before returning to normal.

“Did you see that?”

“See what?”

“I thought I saw her move.”

“You’re letting what I told you about how dangerous they are get to you. No one can move in a slave collar they don’t have the will too.”

[Ha, fear me!]

“Let’s take her to the duke before someone sees us. Slave follow me. You know some of the nobles have problems with this. Rather not have to deal with them.” The three of them walk down the hallway lit only by a half moon from outside.

[Their collar isn’t working right, maybe my cheating caused a disconnect between mind and body? Cheating for the win! Wonder were this duke is, hopefully outside the town in some estate.]

They move through back hallways and a few secret passages before exiting out far from the building they were just in. [I should get a magic map and see if the UI can get an automap function. Remembering this is going to be a pain.]

“Wonder if the other groups had as hard a time as we did with this one.”

“Doubtful, it was just two pretty boys. Unlike you they probably didn’t drool over their targets chests.”

“She was asleep how was I supposed to know she would wake just then.”

“Dangerous.”

“Screw you.”

Continuing to skulk in the shadows the guides take several back alleyways.

[I always hated the auto follow function in games. Takes away the thrill of exploration. Getting lost. Eaten by a bear. So boring. Also I’m surprising chipper about this slave rape thing. Is it shock or just an odd effect of the slave collar?]

Going through another hidden passage and the three find themselves outside the city by a couple of horses. The guides mount the horses. “Slave give me your hand and then pull yourself up and ride behind me.”

Sam does as she is told. After ten minutes [Are we there yet?]. Another five minutes [My ass hurts, horses suck.] Another two minutes. [I’m not touching you. And are we there yet?] Another minute. [But Moooom it’s hiiiis fault.]

They arrive at the estate a bit later. The two guides dismount next to the stables. “Dismount and follow me slave.” [I have a name you know, bet you forgot it. Well or maybe I never mentioned it.] The guide Sam is following goes to the back door while the other just waits with the horses.

After knocking a servant lets them in and takes them to a room with a gaudy bed. An older and slightly rotund man stands from the chair. “You have brought her! Very good. My servant will pay you, now leave.” 

“This is a bad idea. They are dangerous.”

“Give me the key and leave.” The duke commands.

Sighing the guide hands over the key and leaves the room shutting the door behind him. [And now I just wait a bit…]

The duke glances at Sam’s body clad only in bra and panties. “Yes, you are truly exquisite. Truly fortunate that you resisted the necklace and gave me this chance to enjoy you.” The duke keeps staring at Sam as he slowly comes closer. He’s obviously savoring the moment.

[Body kick his groin as hard as you can.] Sam’s body moves like it was waiting for the order and delivers a powerful kick shattering the duke’s hp bar and perhaps other things. Without a sound the duke falls to the ground unconscious.

[Well that went better than I thought it would go.  Body search for the key.] Sam looks for the key and finds it. [Body put key in lock. Then turn the key.] Sam tries to turn the key but it doesn’t move. [Body turn the key the other way.] The lock clicks open. [Body take off the collar.] Sam reaches up and takes off the collar.

And Sam can now think and move normally again. Sam stops moving as she tries to control her returned emotions.  She hugs herself and shivers at all that has happened to her so far. [No time for that. I need to keep moving.] Sam shakes her head and opens up her menu.

She clicks the inventory button and is rewarded with access to her item bag. Putting on her black leather gear and taking out her weapons she feels much better.  To stay somewhat stealthy she does not put on her metal helmet or breast plate.

Sam heads to the door then pauses. She heads back to pick up the slave collar and takes a picture of it. Then puts it on the duke. After locking it she tosses the key into the partially filled chamber pot making sure it’s hidden from sight.

She debates with herself on if she can use the duke in some way. However Sam has no idea how to get the duke to wake up. Instead she decides to escape and get as far away from here as she can. Feeling it’s been enough time to wait for the guides to leave she exits the room.
