O.K. Altheia. Lets try this again. Take your quarterstaff and stick it into the ground like you are going to jump over something then swing your feet over and hit the wooden dummy. O.K. I will try. She dug her quarterstaff into they ground and took hold of the edge of her stick. She had gone about halfway around when she feel on her butt. She picked herself up and dusted herself off. Try it again Altheia. She cant do it. She is too uncoordinated and a blimp. Shut up Derek! Any time. The instructor faced Derek with such fury you could feel the sparks. Derek, get out of here! OK, OK, I am going. Now, Altheia try it again. Yes, Mistress Xenanna. The magess in training tried it again. As part of her training she had to take up swordplay. Mistress Xenanna was the best instructor in the department. She tried again and failed. Over and over again, she tried and on her last try she got all the way around and slaughtered the dummy. Very good. Now I expect you to practice that skill. Lets take a break from that and work on your swordplay. She handed Allie a wooden sword and took one for herself. The first thing you need to learn is that sword is not a staff. You will need to learn how to hold it properly and defend yourself. As she spoke, her instructor raised her wooden sword and aimed a couple of blows towards her student. Allie parried as fast as she could. Pay attention and anticipate each blow. Do NOT leave yourself open for attack. replied the instructor. She paid attention and got better with her parries and even got in a few small blows. O.K. hold up. That was very good. Practice on that too and I will see you next time. Class dismissed, Thank you Mistress Xenanna. she said out of breath. She walked out of the ring. Hey there beautiful. She turned to see a brown haired, brown eyed, golden skinned guy standing there. Tristan! What are you doing here. I got out of class early and thought I walk you to lunch. How nice of you. I accept. He took her arm and they set off towards the cafeteria. They hadnt gotten very far when Allie heard her name called. She turned around to see Derek running up to her. Allie, stop! What do you want? I want to apologize. Meet me after classes today, please? Well....O.K. Great! Derek smiled. I will meet you at the fountain. Bye! I cant believe what I just heard Allie. How can you think of meeting him and after he has been so nasty to you. You heard him Tristan. He wants to apologize. Just be careful Allie. I dont trust him. I promise, I will be careful. After classes that day, Allie met Derek at the fountain. I was afraid you wouldnt show up, he replied. I am here. Great, lets go. Go? Yeah, I thought we could go to my room. Your room? Yeah, I wont bite. Come on. He took her by the arm and dragged her to the bard dorms. They reached his room in about five minutes. He opened the door and invited her in. Sit on the couch. Would you like some wine? She sat down on the couch. Wine? Where did you get that? I went into the city during my free time today. Here. He handed her a glass and sat down next to her with a glass of his own. She took a sip. Well? He cleared his throat. Allie, I apologize. Can we be friends? Well..... Before she could answer, he kissed her; a long, hard, passionate kiss. What did you do THAT for? she yelled. Oh come on. You enjoyed it. He went to kiss her again. She punched him. Dont touch me! He came at her again. She went to punch him again but he caught her wrist and pushed her onto the bed. Let go of me! Not til I am done with you first. -Diamond! Help me!- Diamond reared up and jumped over his stall. -I am coming Allie!- Diamond raced off towards the bard dorms. Tristan saw him and followed to the dorms. Get your hands off me! She kicked him below the belt which threw him back a foot. Allie tried to get up but pinned her back on the bed. That will cost you Allie, he spat. He tore her tunic off to reveal her corset underneath. She squirmed to get away but she was pinned to the bed. He undid her corset and felt her smooth breasts. She cringed under his touch. You are so soft Allie. He sucked on his nipples. He moaned. -HELP!- -On my way dear. I am at the door.- Diamond and Tristan reached the door at the same time. This way! shouted Tristan. They reached the room but the door was locked. The young man tried to open it by hitting it with his shoulder. This only caused him a great deal of pain. Owwwwww! Diamond reared up his back hind legs and banged on the door. I see your friends have arrived. No matter. I will be done soon. Derek undid his pants. Now naked, from the waist down, he hovered over her. He pulled down her pants and began to pump her. Oh, Allie, Allie you feel so good. She screamed from the pain as he pumped harder and harder into her. He took both breasts into his hands and sucked. Her touch only made him more horny and he pumped harder. Oh Allie I am close. ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! At last the climax came as he emptied his juices into her. He toppled on top of her, totally exhausted. Oh Allie you are wonderful. Tristan heard his friend scream and really banged the door down, helping Diamond kick it down. Finally, the door yielded under the pressure and flew open. Tristan and Diamond rushed in the room to see Derek on top of Allie. You get off her! he shouted. Tristan picked Derek up. He shook the guy and punched him in the nose. You keep your dirty hands off her! He dropped Derek to the floor. Diamond snarled at him. Are you all right Allie? he asked her. She nodded. He took a blanket and covered her. I will let you get dressed. He turned around and she put her torn tunic back on. I think we should go to the headmaster and report that scum. he pointed to Derek lying on the floor. You are right Tristan. Lets go. They hopped on Diamonds back and set off for the headmasters office. When they arrived at the headmasters office. It was locked. He probably went home. mused Altheia. Does he live near the school? asked her male friend. Yes, I think so but we shouldnt bother him at home. Hun, you just been raped. This is important. -He is right you know.- -I know Diamond.- Come on. He grabbed her hand and led her to the headmasters house. In a few minutes, they knocked on the headmasters door. They heard muffled sounds of footsteps as the headmaster went to open the door. He was a bit surprised to find the redheaded mage and her friends at his door. Then he saw her appearance and gasped. Altheia? What happened to you? Forgive us for disturbing you headmaster. May we come in? asked the young man. Certainly, of course. He moved to the side to let them pass. Lets sit in the living room. He led them to the living room. The room looked inviting. The furniture was worn but looked well kept. An old couch sat in one corner. Some reclining chairs sat across from the couch. The walls were lined with bookshelves full of leather bound books. Would you like to sit down? Yes, thank you. You have a nice house Headmaster Mikeal. She and Tristan sat on the sofa together. Diamond laid down at the side of the couch near his mistress. The schoolmaster looked at the students, his eyes on the girl taking in her appearance at a closer look. Well, you havent come to talk about my house. he said smiling. I dont get many students knocking on my door. No sir. I been raped sir. I am sorry to bother you about this. explained the redhead. Raped? the older man whispered. He went weak and limply sat into a recliner. Raped? Who raped you? Derek Woodtree. Perhaps, you should tell me what happened. The girl told him what happened to her; every last dirty little detail. When she had finished, the schoolmaster looked like he aged ten years. He sighed deeply. I am sorry headmaster. Maybe I should not have come. she rose to get up. No dear. Please sit. You have every right to come and tell me. I will have to investigate this. I think the investigation should be hush hush so not to attract too much attention. I will also excuse you from classes for a few days so you can take some time off for yourself. I suggest you take that time to go to the healer here on campus and get you checked out. We do have a female healer on campus if you feel more comfortable seeing her. He wrote the healers name on a piece of paper. She took the paper from him. Thank you sir. I will go tomorrow. I will make sure she goes. spoke Diamond. You speak?! The golden-skinned man looked shocked. Of course I speak. Doesnt everyone? We should go. They got up to leave. The schoolmaster showed them to the door. I will get in contact with you in a week. Thank you sir. In that week, she did what the headmaster did and went to the healer. The healer confirmed that she had indeed been raped and put it in her report to the headmaster. At the end of the week, she was called to the headmasters office. She knocked on his door. Come in. She opened the door walked in and closed it behind her. Ah Allie, please sit down. She sat in the chair in front of his desk. I questioned Derek and spoke to his parents. He denied your story. However, I spoke to Tristan and Diamond since they were witnesses. Finally, Derek broke down and told the truth. His parents made a huge donation to the school to keep the incident quiet. I see. However, I refused the money. The redheaded mage looked at him in surprise. You refused the money? He nodded. It would have been a bribe and it doesnt compensate for what happened to you or the reputation of this school. This is what I decided. Derek is suspended for two weeks. In those two weeks, he will go through basic training in the guard. When he gets back, he will be on probation for an undetermined amount of time. If he should ever wrongfully touch another student, he is expelled. He and his parents already know this. Sound fair? That sounds fair sir. Thank you for all your help. I know this doesnt make us for the pain you suffered. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, please let me know. Thank you sir. I appreciate that. Good luck Allie. The redheaded mage left the office. For the first time since her attack, she broke down and cried.
