A Hint of Agony

"Who is Shaeg? Tell me Gaiel, i demand to know. You owe me that, i have been coming here for years. I even thought we were friends. I guess I was wrong about that."

"Shut up fool, you are in no position to demand anything" Gollus slapped him hard across the face, and scowled at him. "Mind your place Klaeb. You aswer to Gaiel, and we answer to Shaeg. And rest assured, Gaiel wants you to be quiet."

"Well, Gaiel said it herself Gollus, I am needed alive, so just what are you going to do to me to keep me quiet? You're not smart enough to damage me without killing me. You're just stupid muscle. So I will talk all I want."

"No, you won't. And don't speak like that to my man Klaeb. You will show him the respect he deserves. Unlike you, he is a real man, and more than just muscle." She said it with such anger and venom, that he was shocked that he had ever thought she was sweet.He looked at her for only a second, but that was enough. She lunged at him and pulled something from her pocket, then plunged it deep into his spine."You will shut up now Klaeb, even you are not stupid enough to offer up any further resistance after feeling this."

Klaeb cried out in agony, but no sound emerged, even though his mouth was wide open. All he knew was pain, and that he was desperate for it to end.He felt flaming hot and ice cold in different parts of his body. He could barely think, he was ready to pass out when fortunately, she pulled it out of him.

"Yes, fine, you have both had your little amusements. Now, leave him alone, before Shaeg deals with us all, in a far worse manner. I have no desire to feel his "tender mercies" again. I trust you both feel the same way."

Both Gollus and Melaidin shook their heads vigourously. They wanted no part of Shaeg's wrath. But that moment of awful fear passed and Melaidin smiled at Gollus, as she licked the awful implement. Klaeb shivered, and wished he had left when he had the chance.
