43: Predator To Prey

She watched them as they walked close to her. Their expressions were blank but by their eyes, she could get the truth.

Lust.

Not the gentle kind. Not the kind that came with love. This one was hungry.

She had seen that same look in their master's eyes many times. The way he stared at her like she was something to own. Something to break.

Now his men looked at her the same way.

Her heart pounded and her hands shook, but she didn't move. She couldn't. Atleast not yet.

One of them smirked and stepped closer. Another cracked his knuckles like he was getting ready for something.

She knew what they wanted.

"What are you all doing? You are supposed to take me to your master" she managed to mutter avoiding their gaze as she started to adjust her torn dress to cover herself more.

"That will be after we're done with you, Princess Danika of Crimson Veil" their leader said and the two other men busted out laughing.
