Oh Good, You're Finally Awake

Consciousness comes slowly to Brandy, but through her exhaustion she eventually starts to become more aware of the world around her.

The first thing she notices is that her entire body is sore, as every muscle in her body aches with a not unfamiliar sense of exertion. The pain is simply more intense than any she had ever felt before.

The second thing she notices is that she appears to be moving, her body shaking slightly as the hard wood beneath her bounces from the uneven ground. Wait, wood?

Brandy tries to stretch her sore muscles and open her eyes which is when she notices the third thing. She is completely tied up and unable to move.

“Oh good, you’re finally awake.” Brandy turns her head to look at the voice and sees Tazluk looking at her, a smile on his face.

Trying to get a grasp of the situation, Brandy quickly looks around. Her situation does not look good. She is tied up, in the back of a cart, traveling to an unknown location, and has been captured by the Orc Chieftain Tazluk.

Brandy struggles against the ropes a bit, but this only causes Tazluk to laugh. “There is no point in struggling, I tied those up myself. Besides,” he leans forward until his face is inches away from her face. “You wouldn’t want me to hurt your little friend. Would you?” Brandy stops struggling. “Don’t worry, he is alive and relatively unharmed. For now…”

Brandy stops struggling for a moment to look around her surroundings. She notices that she is in a much darker part of the forest than before. But the surprising thing is that she still has all of her cloths on. She honestly expected to wake up tied up naked to a bed, not thrown into the back of a cart like luggage. She tries to talk, but the gag stops her from saying anything coherent.

Tazluk gives you a curious look before asking. “If I take the gag off, do you promise not to scream so we can talk like adults?” Brandy gives a nod, which satisfies Tazluk, who removes the gag.

Brandy works her jaw for a bit while looking at Tazluk in silence. “Why?” This whole situation honestly doesn’t make sense to her.

Tazluk simply asks her back, “Why what?”

“Why…” Well, everything! Why was she alive, where was he taking her, “Why am I still alive?”

Tazluk laughs before responding, “I said I was going to take you as my bride.”

That sends a chill down Brandy’s spine, she has no desire to become this man’s (or anyone’s) bride. Not now at least. “So where are you taking me?”

“Someplace safe, don’t you worry your pretty little head. But now I have a question for you. Why were you traveling with,” he gestures with his hand for a bit, "Him?"

Brandy isn’t sure if she should answer, but she is afraid of what Tazluk will do if she doesn’t. So, she knows that she has to tell him something. “He stumbled into our church a few nights ago, wounded. He said his friends needed help, so I went with him to help.” Not the complete truth…

Tazluk believes that this is what you believe.

This gets a genuine laugh out of Tazluk, “Friends!? Is that what he told you?” Not exactly, but you weren’t going to tell him that. “You know he is a BANDIT, right?”

Is brandy surprised by this?

Yes/No (Likely) [2,1] No but…

***

Brandy honestly isn’t surprised by this information. But it doesn’t really change the situation does it. Since Tazluk seems talkative, she decides to try and ask some more questions. “So, tell me then. What IS going on?”

Author's Notes: Well, it HAS been a while since I worked on this. Hopefully I can get some progress before life distracts me with other things. I would at least like to get some sort of resolution.

Or at least reach a REAL SMUTTY SCENE!
