Description
Behind me boots crunches on the pavement, breaking me out of my silence.

“Do what you must.” I said expecting him to take me right there.

Instead he threw something at me.

I wiped my eyes and looked at the soft but coarse object in my hands.

Clothes, he handed me clothes.

I sighed and attempted to put on dress which was obviously difficult due to a broken wrist and shattered ribs.

As I finished lacing the boots, Inculta handed me something.

“It's water.” He muttered before stepping away. I shrugged and took a swing, the water burned my throat but I didn't complain water was water.

“So where are we going now?” I asked quietly.

Inculta stood over me, his fingers tangled in my hair, almost like he was playing with it.

“Back to the main camp, back to Caesar. You will be my slave till further notice and you will obey me, things may change in the future but for now, I own you and you are not to leave my sight. Do you understand?”

I nodded, happy with the answer he patted my head and left to go talk to his men.

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't have ran. My ankle had been shattered and honestly I was surrounded by legionaries as well, I could have fast traveled but Inculta would've came looking for me and likely would've killed my entire bunker to get to me. I wasn't worth a war.

I sighed and hung my head, I was exhausted and weak.

“Slave, it's time to get moving! On your feet!” Ordered a legionary, I shook my head.

“I can't walk, my ankle is shattered.”

He huffed and went to kick me, I grabbed his ankle, sending him flat on his ass.

“That’s enough Bornous, she is MY property. Leave her be, I'll take it from here.” The young legionary cussed at me but walked away

“Don't antagonize my men, woman. I can only do so much to protect you.”

I opened my mouth to speak but decided against it.

“As far as your broken ankles goes, I will allow you to use those profligate stimpacks to repair it. But only this once, profligate Chems, Medications, alcohol and advanced technology are all forbidden in the legion. Only when does a mission require consumption of such filthy things are we permitted to use them.”

I nodded, and hurriedly unlaced my boot and hissed as I stabbed my shattered ankle with the stimpack. It burned for a few seconds before the pain disappeared.

I sighed and gave a small smile of relief.

“Now can you walk?” Inculta said I nodded and pulled on my boot and stood up.

Around me fires burned, illuminating the remains of Nipton, highlighting the lessons taught by the legion but somehow the light inside me still burned brighter and stronger than ever....

“Give me your wrist slave.” I rolled my eyes as he bound my hands and led me forward into the night on a very long journey to my new hell.
