She'd tried to hide when the fight was over, but no cupboard or cabinet was left unopened by the guards who'd come for her, and all she could do was stare up with glassy eyes when they checked the one under the desk. There was little point in struggling, she'd only wound up hurting herself or incurring more wrath than she was already due. She wanted to speak up, wanted to explain that she'd had no choice - but he'd given her several and lies would never fall from her tongue no matter how desperate her situation.
They wouldn't surely seek to punish her. They'd need her. She was invaluable to them, and after a few weeks or months, they'd forget about this entire ordeal and things would return to how they were and she'd drown in tedium and misery once more. The blindfold came as a shock however, and immediately caused her pulse to pitch to frantic. Her pleas for it to be removed were met with grunts and hard shoves, as were her demands to speak with the Lord and Lady in assurance that they'd be displeased with how she was being treated. But would they? Did they suspect she'd been in on this entire thing?
Livvy's panic was audible now. Laboured breaths and sobs caught in her throat. She couldn't even say that she had nothing to do with this. And when they questioned her? Oh Gods, how stupid could she have been to think that freedom had been possible?
She could feel the iron bars before they'd even arrived at the cell. Now she cried, and more pleas tore from her throat as her heels dug into the dirt. The feeble girl was lifted easily from her feet however, and despite her kicking and struggling, she was shoved into the cell, and her eyes widened as she tore the damp blindfold from her face.
"No! Please. I - I shouldn't be here!!" she screamed up at them, her voice cracking in the process. Livvy sunk to the ground, anything to be so much as a few more inches away from the iron bars. She didn't have to be touching them for their presence to be felt in her very bones. An instant ache pounded in her skull and her ears rang with a sound like scraping metal. In the little ball she'd curled herself into, she pressed her hands over her ears and shut her eyes tightly.
"You said you wouldn't let me go back to them." the whisper trembled out. "I shouldn't have listened to you." she added, pushing the words through teeth clenched by anger and pain as her head slowly shook.
