Description
Rabbit Fire? I’m not sure I would’ve picked it but if it’s what you want, then i guess it’s okay.” Caesar said questioning his Legate.

“Thank you my lord. I was hoping you’d approve, I found it quite ironic as well as fitting.”

“I can understand the reasons behind it and it is fitting, just remember she’s going to be difficult to train Inculta. Rabbits although timid can be vicious and strong willed creatures, they do bite. Now do you want to get her fitted with a collar so that you may finish up with your assignment?”

Inculta in a short stride had my arm in his strong Iron grip while the man on the other side of Caesar held a large spiked collar.

I groaned and panic set in, over taking years of training as memories of being held prisoner by super mutants flooded through my mind.

I tried to back away from the man but Inculta’s iron grip on my arm held me still.
Inculta even tried to calm me but Still I tried pulling away, and even threw a punch.

I landed a hit on his jaw before chaos broke out.

Infuriated Inculta threw me on the ground and kicked my thigh and torso brutally.

Blow after blow, each time I screamed, eventually I stopped screaming and curled myself up into a ball.

I tasted blood from the split lip and head wound. My already broken ribs burned with each breath,

Finally as soon as I stopped screaming, Inculta stopped his assault and crouched down to my level.

With one last look into his blue eyes, my world went black as I fell unconscious.

What felt like seconds later I woke up, my dress was gone and my ribs and torso had been wrapped. Everything was fuzzy, but that didn't stop me from trying to sit up.

Almost immediately I felt a small warm hand on my chest and something bite into my neck.

I started shaking, as my Vision cleared..

The color they had gotten the collar on, feelings of dread overwhelmed the screaming nerves on my ribs and body.

I tried to push the hand on my chest away but couldn't move.

“It's okay.” A soft female voice said as she tried to push me back back on to the bed.

“Let me go! Please!” I gasped for air, my lungs burning from the ribs being broken.

“It's okay darling. You're fine, I'm not going to hurt you.” As if under a spell, I stopped resisting and laid back down.

After taking a few breaths I looked at the woman. She was a thin African American woman with traditional African head wrap on, her lips were turned upward in a gentle smile.

“Shh it's okay now. I know you're scared but there's no need to frightened. I'm Siri and I'm here to heal your injuries”

“I'm not dead am I?” I croaked out, my throat dry from fear.

Siri gave a sad chuckle, and shook her head. As she talked she mixed some powder into a cup of water and handed it to me, I shrugged, and swallowed the concoction. It tasted bitter like burnt dandelion greens and tiger Lilly flowers. I cringed my nose but finished the brew.

“Fraid not darling, Inculta wants you alive. Said something about your name is too fitting for you.”

I shivered at the sound of his name.
“I understand what you're feeling doll, I was the slave to Aurelius. I wanted nothing more than death, but trust me once you accept your place and quit fighting, things will get better.”

I turned my head, and winced at the collar biting into my neck again.

“When is he coming back?” I whispered groggy from the weird concoction Siri had given me.

“Soon, now you should go back to sleep. Don't fight it, I gave you healing powder water to help heal your internal injuries.”

Mhhhhm whatever you say-yyy Knight Ka...de.” I mumbled giving into the heaviness of my eyelids.

I drifted in and out of consciousness, at one point the sound of two arguing voices woke me up from my slumber.

“She needs to be left here under my watch and where she can sleep without worrying about being attacked while you're away.”
A female voice huffed

“I want her close to my tent!” A male voice yelled.

My still half asleep brain didn't understand the conversation or recognize the voice.

“Elder Maxson?” I called out.

“See you woke her up. The poor woman…”
I opened my eyes and saw a dark skinned figure in front of me, my brain still not engaged let my mouth run endlessly till the dark skin figured gently hushed me.

“You can tell me all about the Prydwen later Sentinel. Go back to bed.”
I gave her a goofy smile and a Brotherhood salute.

“Ad Victoriam.” I murmured before falling asleep once again.

It was 2 days before I woke up for more than the time needed to swallow the medicine that Siri made up for me.

This time when I awoke I immediately knew where I was, and why I was there.

I sighed and sat up, no pain in my ribs and other than achy bones I felt normal.
Hearing me stir, Siri rushed over to me and handed me a cup of the medicine.

“I'm fine doc, really.” She rolled her eyes gave me the look, without another word I swallowed the bitter tasting beverage .

“How long was I out?”
Siri shrugged,

“3 and a half days In total.” I gapped at her.

“3 days? That's it? I was out longer when I fell off the prydwen in my power armor.” I muttered

“You healed exceptionally well, now let's try that stunt again. You're lucky Caesar and Inculta want you alive. I was permitted to use a stimpak to save you from bleeding to death internally. You pulled an incredibly studio stunt there girly.”

I sighed and looked at her,

“I know it's just that I was terrified for my life, collars and cages are 2 of the 3 things in this world that scare me. Thanks for saving me by the way.”

She patted my leg,

“No problem hun, just remember there's only so far you can push with that man. Inculta maybe one of the most liberal men in the legion but he is by no means kind or soft hearted.” I nodded and looked down at my self.

I had a plain gray tank top on and black underwear, as well as bandaging around my ribs, and shoulder.

“Inculta left some clothes for you, and also your holotags and a mirror are here as well.”

Siri handed me a pile of clothes and walked away closing a curtain for some privacy.

I sighed and slipped my holotags on first, then looked in the mirror.

My face was no longer swelling and only slightly bruised from the beatings.

Even with some damage I was still okay looking.

I've been told that I resembled a younger version of a pre pre war actress named Winoa Ryder with short pixie style fiery orange hair and freckles.

My steel grey eyes still had their fire going, making me smile.

I mused my hair and pulled off the tank top and bandages as I laid out the clothes Inculta set out for me.

In front of me was a simple black cloth bra, a crimson red Skater dress with elbow length sleeves, a pair of boyshort style underwear and socks with a pair of brown boots.

I shrugged and got changed, after wards I folded up my old clothes and bandages and pulled out my holotags before heading out to Siri.

She smiled and handed me my Pip-boy. I squealed with joy as I clipped it on and powered it up.

“You must be important to Caesar if he lets you have that.” Siri said sighing,

“I was a Sentinel in the Brotherhood of steel. I'm an important pawn to them. I'm nothing but a simple chess-” I was cut off by Someone entering the tent.

I looked up, Inculta stood in front of me, his face was unreadable.

“Lepus you're awake.” My left eye twitched at his casual usage of my roman name.

“Sadly.” I said colts folding my arms across my chest.
I suppressed the urge to gag as his ice blue eyes raked over my body, they stopped at the sight out my holotags dangling out in the open.

“You're bold you know, wearing those out so openly.” I shrugged my arms indifferently.

“Let them kill me, do everyone a favor.” I said coldly looking Inculta up and down.

He was wearing a simple crimson tunica with a leather belt and boots.

“No need to be so self deprecating, Lepus.” I gritted my teeth and held my tongue.

Siri put a comforting hand on my shoulder,I sighed and tried to relax, at she understood what I was going through.

Inculta cleared his throat and took a step towards me, instinctively I took a step back.
He narrowed his eyes and grabbed my collar making the prongs dig into my skin.
He let go a few seconds later, I glared at him and rubbed my neck.

“It's near lunch, and lord Caesar has been so generous as to invite you to join him and his men for lunch and i of course will be attending as will you.”

“I'm not hungry.” I said flatly,

“I don't care if you are or not Lepus. You will eat and be grateful for this opportunity.” Now you have 30 minutes to make yourself presentable. In my tent I have a slave waiting for you with the needed cosmetics.”

He grabbed me by the elbow md dragged me out of the tent without even letting me say goodbye to Siri.

His hands were large and calloused but still a little bit soft, his grip was firm but not painful. Like the collar on my neck, the grip was just tight enough to remind me of my place.

He led me back to his tent, inside was a bruised and emaciated woman, she gave me a weak smile before noticing that I was not alone.

Immediately her eyes darted downwards and she kneeled before him.

He let go of me and picked the woman up by her throat and set her on her feet.

She gasped for air and shrunk away from him as far as she could.

“Listen you useless dissolute, give this woman any assistance she made need. She is to look presentable in less than hour. Do not make her look like a profligate whore, do you understand?”

“Y-yes Legate Sir.” The woman whimpered, Inculta nodded and gave one last glance at me before leaving the tent.
