envisioned them emerging from the forest and returning home, probably thinking she had been killed during the raid, or maybe hoping she had escaped into the forest and would return soon.  A small tear escaped her swollen eye and trickled down her cheek as she thought of home, and she despaired of ever seeing it again.

Although Lena was a virgin, she knew enough about sex to know what the raiders wanted her for.  After they had their fun with her they would probably sell her off to another village or maybe even back to her own village.  She thought again of the cow herder’s daughter, wondering if she, too, would prefer death to having a rapist’s child.  How could she ever face Von again or look him in the eye knowing she had another man’s child growing within her womb?

Thoughts of Von brought back memories of him with Cari.  She had almost forgotten about it with everything that had happened, but now the full brunt of it hit her like a punch to the heart, and tears streamed hot down her face.  Von had always been her hero, her true love, and now she realized he didn’t want to be with her but had found somebody else instead.  He was probably relieved she had been taken.  Now he wouldn’t have to tell her he didn’t want to be with her or feel guilty about it, he wouldn’t have to watch her suffer and pine after him as he tried to start a life with another.

Exhaustion, fear, and heartbreak overtook her, drowning her in depths of despair until sleep finally washed over her, and she gave herself willingly to its dark embrace.
