Unworthy of Forgiveness
posted May 10, 2007 - 4:01pmShe laid next to him in complete bliss, she had never been shown such affection or felt such a touch. To her it must be a taste of heaven, however for him it was just another pure, innocent women he had laid with in his bed. She smiled contently and
snuggled her head into his chest. Nothing could possibly destroy this feeling of ecstacy. But he knew all to well that he was cutting his luck fairly close. She listened to his steady breath and beats of his heart. She had known this man for a half year he had came through her town part of the military to serve and protect, she finally mouthed the words she longed to say "I love you". Before he could answer her they heard a commotion outside on the street, then a clatter of weapons. Guards no doubt seeing as how they were wearing light armor. The man knew it was no army which only justified what he had expected. He got up at great haste and put on his pants. When in a blink of an eye the guards had knocked in the door and rushed in weapons all pointing at her and him both. The three guards awaited an explanation when the man who had already taken his position in the corner looking distressed proclaims "She bewitched me to bed with her!" It took her a moment to realize what was just said she was shocked and had no chance of living after the accusation was made. She had been damned there was no arguing the point. She had began to think why the guards would come here in the first place as they had started to bind her wrist together. Then she recognized the seen after replaying what had happend, the man she had trusted, she had loved, had betrayed her to the cold hands of Anubis. She knew what she was charged with was Adultry and now Witchcraft, Anubis maybe her salvation, for what she knew was to come would not be an easy road to take. The guards violently pulled her out of bed to her feet and to the front door without any clothing. They had felt what does she have left to hide? She would had argued her case if she thought it would be a successful ending but it wouldn't be for in this town Men had the last word over women, for women were seen as snakes deceitful and sinful. Women had no power and it was a pity they did not for many innocent women she had seen slain out here in these very streets would had been saved.A guard grabs her hair pulling it to direct her to the chariot. She felt a tear slide down her soft tanned face. The guard pushes her to her knees and kicks her in her chest to lay on her back. She hits the ground hard a slight lump rising on the back of her head she starts to sob, been wrongly convicted. One of the guards tie her wrist to the chariot with a long leather rope while another binds her ankles. She still wept trying to keep it silent but to no aveil. The third guard sits on her back handing her to humilate her in the view of the public "Be silent you witch!" he took his sickle and carved an "A" and "W" across her chest and back. She should had known not to trust such a man, she should had known that this was going to happen to her. There was no hope for her. The crowd had grown larger since they had started this whole cherade but the children was turned a way for they were not to be tainted. Blood seeps out of her chest running down the side of her ribs dripping onto the gravel and clay joining the pool eventually the laid beneath her. The guard steps onto his chariot and whip the horses, they let out a cry and start to move dragging her behind the chariot rolling through the gravel and clay.They eventually pick up the pace and she feels a cry get caught in her throat as she felt every little pice of pebble lodge into her fresh cuts they constantly stung and burned to make her remember they were there. She tried to blink away the clay from her eyes but her tears turned them to clay. Such agony one would wish for death and she knew Anubis was near. She thought she would have a family a husband who adored her, someone who would love her. The ground was hot and she could taste her own sweat. 'Salty, no salvation.' The chariot seemed to take foreve to get to it's destination but finally arrived in the center of the town, She could hear the crowd calling her a witch and other obcenities, one woman had made the statement "You'll pay with the skin off your back!" She laid motionless they thought her to be dead. She wasn't to sure if she was more hurt physically or emotionally but she held onto her dream. Her mind had started to wonder once again when they untied her from the chariot and sat her on her knees, her black hair now matted with blood hung in strands hiding her face.'What makes men such saviors? so holy? is it because in the christian bible women were given one of their ribs? Should they then whorship the ground the men walked on for that? How is it that pure hearted innocent women would always get injustice versus the woman who would sell themselves into anothers bed gets justice?'
After a few minutes when they see her rested a bit a soldier hands out stones to the crowd some larger others smaller.She could feel the arms of Anubis caress her and she felt warm, she already knew she was close to death and unworthy of forgiveness in their eyes. But in the eyes of Anubis she was justified. The soldiers stood back they were to cowardice and would not have the blood of a women on their hands, it wasn't their way. She finally looked up to the sky with her blod and mud stained face, smiled slightly shedding one last tear as the stones sailed smoothly through the air two striking her chest, few struck her back. One struck the back of her head, two hits her in the face as blood runs down her lip and nose. Few of her teeth were missing but she still held onto the warmth and dshattered dream of a life and family when one struck her temple and all was black and gone.
