"It's fine, don't worry, we'll find some way out."

Susan looked down at the girl who was quietly sobbing, finding the anger in her heart withering away slowly as she watched. She felt her fists clench, and willed herself to be furious, as she had been before. But she couldn't. it wasn't in her. Sarah was as much a victim as herself.

Slowly, she knelt down, reaching out a hand towards the woman's shoulder. Sarah's skin felt warm, and she looked around, finding herself caught in her princess' gaze.

"It's okay." Susan said. "Whatever you did, it was because they ****. I don't... I don't hold a grudge."

"But I did such things..." Sarah said. "I humiliated you, I-"

"No." Susan said, holding out a hand. "You didn't do that. That bastard did. You were just his tool, and I am sure he's got more in store for us as well. This isn't good..."

"My lady, what about the army?" Sarah said. "Surely they will rescue you?"

"The army? No, they're gone. As far as I know, it's just me... just us now... but we're not done yet, I promise you that. I'm still alive, and I can still think, I can still plan, still try to find a way out. I'm not this bastard's sex ****.

Not yet."
