The Brutality Of Fate [A Tale Of Life In Mordhaus]

Chapter 7


We both just stood there, rooted to the spot in front of Mr. Ofdensen's office door. Nathan turned to me and gently gathered me into his arms, growling lowly. "Listen to me...right now...fuckin...when we get..in there...fuckin...just...let me do...the fuckin talkin and shit..you are to remain...uhh..kneeling at my goddamn....feet...and just...keep your...head fuckin...down...I dunno...what the..fuck he wants...but fuckin...just..don't say a goddamn...word...Understand??" He tipped my head up to face him with that last word. I looked into his worried green eyes and nodded, "Y..yes, my lord..I understand...I will stay at your feet...and I will keep quiet...I will obey you..my lord." He growled roughly in satisfaction, giving me a rough, deep kiss. "Good girl....let's just...get this the...fuck over with...goddamn.."

With that said, Nathan raised his large fist and knocked roughly on the door. "Enter." Came the voice of Dethklok's placid, yet quietly manaical manager, Charles Foster Ofdensen. I saw Nathan visibly gulp before turning the knob and gently led me into the office first. I looked around for a quick second before putting my head back down, following behind Nathan as he walked to Ofdensen's desk. Nathan nervously sat himself in the only chair in front of the desk. Remembering my orders, I also sank to my knees at Nathan's feet. Keeping my gaze fixed upon Nathan's boots, I focused on listening to the conversation between vocalist and manager.

"Good evening, Nathan. I see that you two are doing well?" Came the calm, dulcet tones from Ofdensen. Nathan growled lowly, "Yea...I..took her...to the...uhh...hospital wing..earlier and yea..." I heard a desk drawer open and rummaging around, "I see, Nathan...and her diagnosis?" Nathan growled in annoyance, "Why the...fuck...do you care?? I'm the...one..fuckin..taking care of her...and shit...she's mine...not..yours...fuckin..I am her..Master...not you..." Ofdensen sighed, "Nathan, I want to make sure she is healthy enough to serve you and such." Nathan grunted, "Still don't see...how that is...your..fuckin..uhh...concern...we're doin..just fuckin fine!!" He looked down at me and gently ran his fingers through my hair, growling softly. I leaned my head against his knee and closed my eyes in pleasure.

I heard Ofdensen cough roughly to regain Nathan's attention, "Be that as it may, Nathan, I need to know how she is." Nathan roared out, "FINE!! God...She...uh...hurt her ribs....ya...fuckin...broken...it's brutal..." He trailed off. I heard Ofdensen typing, assuming he was drawing up a report on me. "I see, Nathan, and?" Nathan growled lowly, "Fuckin...she needs to go..back tomorrow and shit....I think they said...fuckin...uh...X-Rays? She got em...fuckin..bandaged though. Ya...that....and she...uh.." He trailed off again, growling darkly. Ofdensen paused and looked over at the now enraged singer. "What else happened, Nathan? They found something else wrong?" Nathan once again looked down at me, tipping my head up, he growled low to me. "I have...to tell....him...what fuckin...happened to...you...Understand?" I nodded wordlessly, anxious. He growled softly to soothe me and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead, "Good girl..." I sighed softly and once again laid my head against his knee, his fingers once again running through my hair. Nathan growled low, "Some fucker....in that goddamn...uh...chamber...before the Battle....fuckin raped...her...Ofdensen...I wanna know...who it was....so..I can..fuckin...KILL HIM!!!" He roared out the last words, enraged again.

Ofdensen once again looked up to face Nathan, now looking horrified. "I will locate the security feed for that holding chamber as soon as I can, Nathan. Is she..alright?" Nathan nodded, "Ya....just we can't.....uh...do anything...for a couple months....ya know..." Ofdensen sighed, "The doctor insisted on no sex, correct?" Nathan growled roughly, blushing slightly. "Ya...that..." Ofdensen continued typing, "Mentality wise, Nathan. Is she ok?" Nathan nodded, "Ya...seems like it...ya know....fuckin...I've..been...very..uhh....attentive?...yea, tried to be anyway." Ofdensen gave a sigh of relief, "Well, Nathan, she does feel the safest when she is with you, I've noticed. So, this is good, this kind of relationship...may do you both some good. I think I may have a way to keep this permanent, if you two wish to do so." Nathan looked down at me, tipping my head up again. He growled low to me, "You may...speak to me. Now...do you wanna...stay with....me? Do you...fuckin..want me to continue..being....your Master...? Answer me...girl.."

I looked up into his glowing eyes, and saw something that I could not believe. Something in his eyes, that did not match his voice. It almost looked like, pleading, like he didn't want me to leave him. I suddenly realized that I did not want to leave him either. I wondered whether I would ever hear those words from him, decided never. But, I chose my fate and I wanted this. I nodded my head, murmuring softly to him, "I wanna stay..with you, my lord. I want you....to always...be...my Master...no one else...I...meant what I said...with my Branding....I wanna be...here....with....you....." I trailed off, feeling embarrassed that I had almost broken down there. His eyes widened considerably, but it was barely noticeable. It was like he was shocked by my answer. He shook his head slightly, and looking back down at me, he nodded with approval. He straightened back up and looked at Ofdensen, "Well..you heard...her answer...she aint...fuckin...leavin...she's mine...and ya..." He broke off and coughed harshly.


Ofdensen looked a little shocked as well, staring at me with slight concern. "Well, alright then. If this is what..you two want. I have here what is called, The Total Power Exchange Contract." He cleared his throat, "What this means is, in light of your relationship, which is that of a dominant and submissive, it means the formal act of consent to the power exchange, understand?" Nathan looked down at me, I nodded back that I understood. Nathan looked back at Ofdensen. "Okay...soo..we just like...sign that and shit...and I get...to fuckin....keep her...with me...as my fuckin....uh..submissive...right?" Ofdensen nodded, "Yes, Nathan. That's right. It also outlines, for example, your rules and her duties when tending to you and such. Limits and also the terms under which this contract may be terminated, such as," He paused and turned back to glance at his computer screen. He cleared his throat and continued, "Abuse, neglect, violation of limits, whatnot. She will have one say, and that is a safe-word that she may use when she feels she is in danger around you and/or when she chooses to end the contract." With that said, I saw Nathan pale considerably again. I wondered why, but knew I would never know.

Nathan straightened back up again, eyeing me with concern. "Ya...let's just...do that..." Ofdensen looked at me, then back at Nathan. "I will draw up the contract tonight in this case, and you, Nathan, can draw up your rules and her duties and such, with me. For now though, let her choose her safe-word and then I must speak in private with you, Nathan, immediately." Nathan paled again, and reaching down, gently tipped my head up to face him. "Well, you heard him....just....pick...a fuckin word...you wanna use...if you...ever...want to...ya know....end this...." If I didn't know any better, I could've sworn I saw a look of fear in his eyes. Not mortal fear, no, a fear of rejection. I am normally a good reader of people, but this man was impossible so far. I gulped and looked over the desk at Mr. Ofdensen, saying softly, "I...choose the phrase...release me."


With that said, I turned and buried my face in Nathan's leg. I felt tears about to come and I tried to fight them off the best I could, feeling weak and stupid. Nathan heard me though, and tipping my head up, he saw my tears. His eyes widened slightly, blinking in shock. He looked back up at Mr. Ofdensen, "Excuse me...for a.....fuckin second, alright? Then...we'll fuckin...go do whatever...the hell it is...you fuckin wanna....talk about...god.." With that said, and with no concern that Mr. Ofdensen was watching. Nathan gently scooped me up from the floor and gathered me into his lap tenderly. I curled into his hard chest and just started quietly sobbing, it had all been too much for me. He cradled me close, growling softly to try and soothe me, "Hey...it's ok...I'm fuckin...here...you're...not leavin...you're....fuckin...mine...remember...?"


With that said, he gently tipped my head up and kissed me hard, right there in front of Mr. Ofdensen. I moaned out lowly, feeling so safe and secure there in his arms. I threw my arms around his thick neck, pressing myself closer to him. He deepened the kiss, growling deeper in his chest to soothe me, holding me tighter against him. He broke away, breathing heavily, staring me right in the eyes. I was in awe, his eyes were glowing with a warm light, turning them almost opaque. He gently reached up with a black tipped thumb and softly smoothed the tears from my eyes. I blinked up at him in shock, murmuring softly to him, "..My...lord..?"


The rest of his expression was unreadable. He growled low,"Now, you....stay in here...fuckin...rest...don't fuckin...touch...anything or try to....leave...I'm gonna...fuckin...lock you in...Understand?" I sniffled quietly and nodded, "Yes...my lord...I understand...may..I take a nap...here...my lord?" He nodded, "You may...get some fuckin rest....ya.." With that said, Nathan gently stood up with me in his arms and placed me softly on Mr. Ofdensen's couch, covering me lightly with a crochet throw blanket that had been thrown over the back. He gifted me with one last deep, hard kiss, growling softly. His eyes were still glowing with that warm light, and he gently stroked down the side of my face with one black tipped finger. Then he and Mr.Ofdensen turned and left the room, locking it, leaving me alone. I sniffled once more, remembering the warm light from Nathan's eyes, before drifting off to sleep.
