The Time I've lost in wooing, in watching and pursuing, the light that lies, in women's eyes has been my heart's undoing.

Times were hard now, especially for the women. They were now considered objects, hunted down by wealthy men and used anytime desired. Disgusting how men have become, using women then simply throwing them away as if they were a waste. Of course they loved their women pure, and untouched. Most women threw themselves at the feet of men, like slaves, there were very few women who kept their pride and dignity. Most women had lords that would often take in as many as twenty different women in his household, choosing one to be his mistress.

Her dark, mahogany hair followed her every movement as she danced gracefully to the beat of the tambourine. Many of the townspeople often stopped to watch her dance, many were so intrigued, captivated by her steps. She stopped curtseying gratefully as many threw gold coins her way. She smiled and took the gold coins generously and placed them in her satchel. "Alexiel your dancing is magnificent, can you teach me how to do that one day?!" asked one of Alexiel's admirers "Why of course, Natalie" replied Alexiel kindly.

She held on to the young girl's hand as they strolled through the busy streets of the town. The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air as they stopped by the bakery. "I would like one loaf of bread, please" asked Alexiel, the baker returned a friendly smile and prepared her loaf of bread "Alexiel, your dancing never ceases to amaze me" said the baker. Natalie smiled "Alexiel says she'll teach me how to dance like her!!" she said excitedly The baker patted the young girl on the head "I believe you will turn out just as great as Alexiel herself" he responded encouragingly. The young girl looked to Alexiel with bright eyes "You think I'll be just as good as you Alexiel?" she asked, Alexiel returned a smile "Of course!".
.
~*~
.
The two walked out of the bakery and Alexiel held on to the young girl carefully as they crossed the street. Alexiel's thoughts seemed to be drifting today mostly about the women who were being taken in by lords "Men, all they desire is power! Its grotesque, shameful all women should be treated as equals" she thought angrily. Natalie looked upon her "Alexiel what is the matter?" she asked timidly, Alexiel blinked and smiled at the young girl "Nothing Natalie, its late I believe I should take you home now". The young girl frowned "But Alexiel I do not want to go home!" she whined, Alexiel shook her head "Now Natalie you have a family to go home to" the young girl sighed " okay…".
.
*~*
.
After Alexiel brought Natalie home she walked carefully through the dark streets and alleys. The thought of her being taken in as a maid or a mistress to a lord made her want to vomit. She suddenly felt someone grab her arm she hit the person behind her and soon hear a groan "Alexiel, please not so hard next time…" moaned Marie. Alexiel immediately ran to her friend's side "I am terribly sorry Marie, I didn't know-". Marie cut her sentence short "Its okay Alexiel I understand" she replied. Alexiel sighed in relief "Why are you wandering the night at this hour?" questioned Alexiel. Marie's eyes began fill with fear "Alexiel, I'm afraid a new lord is hunting down more women…" she whispered.
.
~*~
.
Alexiel's eyes widened in shock "What?! There is nothing to fear, he won't lay a finger on me", Marie shook her head in disappointment "Alexiel he is so powerful, more than just a wealthy man…". Soon the sounds of horse hooves echoed through the dark alley and Marie jerked Alexiel to a dark corner where they were unseen. "Lord Lucifer, how many women would you like?" questioned a masculine voice, "I want thirty new women, the fifty I have are now useless they have become rather boring" he answered.
.
*~*
.
Alexiel felt anger boil inside her but suppressed it as they rode past her and Marie. As soon as the fading sounds of talking and hooves were no longer heard, Alexiel stood up enraged "USELESS?!!" she screamed. Marie covered Alexiel's mouth "Hush! I don't want to be captured!!" she hissed, "Have women lost their sense of dignity and pride?!!" asked an enraged Alexiel. Marie sighed "Alexiel times are hard, women are-" Alexiel broke her sentence "That is a poor excuse!!" she replied.
.
~*~
.
Marie looked to the ground "Let us go Alexiel, before he comes back…" she said nervously. Alexiel could still feel the anger inside her, she couldn't believe how men treated women, the wealthy think they have a right to treat them that way? They are disgusting beasts. Alexiel and Marie soon came to the point where they must part "Bye Alexiel, be careful do not let your anger get the best of you" lectured Marie as she hugged her friend good-bye. "I'll be fine Marie, you be careful yourself" she replied as she waved and started her walk home. The streets seem to be strangely quiet but it was late in the night many people must've had quite a busy day today.
.
*~*
.
Alexiel soon reached the door to her small home and her anger seem to slowly subside. She took the keys from her satchel and soon heard a shriek from the distance. She immediately ran to the sound of the penetrating scream, "Who's there?!! What's going on?!!" asked Alexiel worriedly. She soon saw what looked like her friend Marie and two dark figures upon a horse "ALEXIEL RUN!!!" screamed her friend. The dark figures immediately dropped Marie "Take the gypsy!!" commanded a dark voice, Alexiel evaded them and ran to her friend 'Marie hurry get up!!" she said as she helped her friend to her feet.
.
~*~
.
Marie scrambled to her feet and they ran rapidly away from the men on the horses "Hurry Marie!!" yelled Alexiel as she grabbed her friend who was falling behind "A-Alexiel I'm so tired I don't th-" Alexiel glared at her "Don't say such a thing!!". The horses were now gaining on them "I do not care for her, get the gypsy!!" growled the dark voice, "Yes my Lord!" answered the masculine voice. Soon Marie was grabbed "ALEXIEL!!" she screeched, Alexiel's eyes widened in fear as she kicked the dark figure. "Wench!" yelled the angered man, "GO MARIE!!" commanded Alexiel, Marie did as she was told and sped down the dark streets.
.
*~*
.
The figure got off from his horse "Beautiful…" he said malevolently, Alexiel looked upon him with an intense glare "You disgust me!" she lashed. He smirked as he moved closer to her looking into her lively brown eyes "Intoxicating…" he whispered, she slapped him "Get away from me you filthy bastard!!" she snapped. He laughed deviously "Strong…" "Men like you disgust me! I hope you rot in hell for your gross ways!!". "My lady-" she immediately cut him off "I AM NOT YOUR LADY!!". Soon more men began to appear, Alexiel began to run but she soon was surrounded, they all made attempts to grab her but she often dodged and evaded their attacks. Suddenly she felt someone grab her from behind, he began to breathe in her scent "RELEASE ME!!" she demanded "You belong to me now…."
