BtVS Drabble Prompt: Crown
Jan. 18th, 2012 03:08 pmShe woke spitting and fighting. They’d used magic to down her, after she’d outrun and outfought every hunter they’d set on her heels.
They wouldn’t risk a hunter to unknown magic. They still wanted to eat, after all.
She strained against her bonds. They’d tied her tightly, but left a length between her and the tree she was tied to.
They wanted her to fight, but not win. They needed to break her, after all.
She screamed with rage, but swallowed her pain. They’d looked at each other, pleased with what they’d done.
She was their crowning achievement, after all.
