The Attack of Mckenna Cunningham

Kenna swallowed the lump that had built up in her throat. Carson looked at her so intently that she could feel his gaze tracing the scar on her face.
     “He locked me in his chamber for the rest of the day, that evening he brought me the evening meal. I saw him pour a white powder into me glass of ale. I didnae drink it I pretended ta do so. I poured it in to his chamber pot when he was nay looking. He grabbed me and pressed his lips against mine hard. I fought against his grasp, but he laced his finger through my hair and slapped me. I sang out as he grabbed the bodice of me grown and ripped it open. He ripped me whole dress from me, so I was only in me shift. He went ta force me upon the bed, but I grabbed the jug of ale and hit him upon the head with it. He fell to the floor, so I ran out the door screaming for someone ta help me. He ordered his guards ta stop me and bring me back ta him. I grabbed a sword and I started fighting my way through the guards. I had made it ta the bailey until I was surround by all his warriors. I knew I couldnae fight them all off. Two of his guards grabbed me and dragged me back ta his chamber. Once they slammed the door, Hamish barred the door shut and grabbed a sward off the table and he handed me a sward as well.  He said he was gonna fight me for me maidenhead. If I won, he wouldnae take me maidenhead but he was allowed ta touch me and if he won, he took what was rightfully his as me betrothed.”
      “He challenged ye a lass ta a duel for yer maidenhead?” Carson hissed.
      “Aye he did, I accepted because I felt I had nay other choice. I held me own for a long awhile but, he swung cutting me stomach wide. I didnae give up. I slashed him open a few times before he swung cutting me stomach again, and then he swung again cutting me cheek open. I fell ta the floor, the pain was so unbearable at that point. Hamish laughed as he asked me if I considered me self defeated. I agreed, I could nay longer fight fer me life. I was covered in blood when he grabbed me off the floor and tied my hands and ankles ta the bed. Then he went over ta the fire and picked up a metal rod that was glowing orange. He pressed it upon each of me breasts. I screamed so loud it made me own eardrums hurts. It was so painful I couldnae bare it. He stripped himself naked and he forced himself in ta me with a malicious grin upon his face. I was fading in and out of consciousness from the lack of blood loss. I remember the pain and I remember his grunting. I remember him breathing in me ear. Then nothing…I must have fainted then. I woke up three days later in me bedchamber at Dornoch. That bastard told Blane that we were robbed on the way to his keep.” Kenna sobbed into her hands.
Carson’s ears were ringing. I am verra blessed that I murdered that heathen. He thought as he wrapped his strong arms around his sweet Mckenna. Kenna buried her face into her chest sobbing uncontrollably. There were no words he could say that would ever take away the pain that had been inflicted upon her.
