Solstices Revenge a work in progress Part Two

Rage does not even begin to describe the feelings Solstice is feeling when she is dropped from the talons of the Charonte Demon into a garden with high walls made of pink granite. The statues and benches are all a stark white marble that is glistening in the evening sun they look wonderful amid the lush green colors of the leaves and grass along with a sprinkling of an array of colors from the flowers. A nearby walkway covered in wisteria in full bloom commands the attention of Solstice’s sense of smell, hmmm that is funny she did not realize that her sense of smell was lacking.
It is within the shadows of the walkway she begins to make out the shape of a man. Solstice instinctively reaches for her back and her boot at the same time and then realizes that her scimitar and knives were dropped as she tried to ward off that Charonte Demon, speaking of which it just sauntered up behind the stranger. He turned to the demon and placed his hand on its face and said “Very good job, you are tired? Well come on.” and the demon disappeared.
The branding on Solstices back began to tingle then burn then glow. Then on the front left side of the strangers chest the glow of solstices sun symbol began to glow. Finally he stepped forwards out of the shadows and waves his hand. And solstice is frozen in her tracks unable to move.

The feelings that are haunting Solstice from her captivity come back to the surface and she closes her eyes so that she will not let this man see the tears that are threatening to build. As she gets the look of dead calm on her face she opens her eyes and he is now standing right in front of her. Solstice asks of him "sir would you please let me go?" with absolutely no feeling and in a monotone voice. The stranger replied "frist of all you may call me Liam, second of all not letting you go until your heart rate slows down showing that the rage is being controlled a bit there missy"
Missy? Missy? solstice is struggling to control herself. Trying to not show any emotions whatsoever she quietly whispers "please". Liam looks her in the eye and can see through her facade and says "not until your heart rate slows down, and I mean it!!"
As he slowly walks around her in a circle like a lion circling its prey before attacking Solstice closes her eyes and begins to will her self to calm down and slow her heart. Liam comes up behind her and places his chest against her back. the ultimate burning of the brand on her back begins to fade as he has his sun symbol pressed against the crescent moon brand.. Liam leans in and whispers in her ear. "you can calm yourself down and maybe just mabye start to regain some of that memory of yours that you have lost.'
Liam whistles softly and two female servants appear in the walkway. He orders them to take solstice bathe her and find some thing for her to wear. as they approach Solstice she looks at Liam and says "what makes you think i am gonna let them?" Leaning in closer he replies "because if you don't I will do the chore myself".

Solstice was lead to a marble room with a shallow pool built into the ground. The pool had warm water and rose petals floating on the water in reds and pinks that gave the water their fragrance. Solstice willingly went into the water but when the two servants came into the water to bathe her the fight was on. solstice would not let them touch her.. grabbing the soaps and oils she began to bathe herself and would growl at the girl servants every time that they came close to her. Solstice was not going to have anyone touching her. Not to bathe her and not to dress her either.
After the bathing Solstice found the servant girls had a pitcher for washing her hair and they were both looking timid but knowing that they had to do their masters bidding were contemplating what to do or how to do what they needed to do. Solstice knocked the pitcher of water out of the servants hands and a loud voice boomed throughout the chamber "leave and I will get her myself". Oh no not again.. ggrrrrrr
Liam had come into the chamber to make sure solstice was being treated with the utmost respect and did not realize how terrified she would make his own servants. The girls thankfully scurried away and Liam began disrobing. solstice turned around and headed for the edge of the pool. Hiding her breasts behind her arms which were wrapped across her chest. Her lower body well covered by the floating rose petals. Liam entered the water and ducked underneath the water to get his hair wet. Then he slowly began to walk towards Solstice. His eyes were on the water and not on Solstice as he made his way across the pool. She slowly began to try to crawl out of the pool and was sitting on the edge about to get her legs up out of the water when he reached her. Liam pulled her legs and made her fall back into the pool. Solstice had her arms out to her sides no longer holding across her chest as she backed up to the side again to escape. Liam took the shampoo and poured some into his hand. He grabbed Solstice and spun her around violently. She could not fight herself out of this situation and then had a thought.. Destroy with my.. but before she could finish the thought Liam began laughing and chuckled "do you really think that cloud minds will work on me?"
Solstice gave up her brand was on fire and hurting her badly at this point. She had noticed his own brand glowing but he makes no facial expressions as to whether it hurts him. Liam ever so gently begins to put shampoo on Solstices hair and begins the task of washing her long hair. Tangles are in his way as he is running his fingers through her hair. Liam finds a brush and begins to comb out the tangles starting from the bottom and working his way up. All of Solstice's hair is washed and rinsed off with that pitcher of water. It was a long time before Liam was through and Solstice throughout the ordeal was wondering what manner of man would do this? and had he not mentioned her regaining her memory as though he already knew her? Who is this stranger who owns a dragon/charonte demon? And why is he being nice to her? is it because he kidnapped her and now feels guilty? Whom is he afer to hurt? Because hurting sols herself is such a low priority thing.. Maybe he wants to hurt Alex, or Fauz, or Fireraven. Or maybe he knows too much and has set his eyes on the throne of the Stardust. Either way Sols must figure out the intentions of this stranger and get herself out of here to go about her task of freeing Suck on This and finding her Father.
Liam leans slowly into Solstice and places the sun brand he has against the crescent moon brand. The burning stops. It is such a nice feeling to not be in pain. Liam begins massaging the wounds on Solstices shoulders left by the charonte demon's talons. solstice has no more strength and follows Liam as he takes her hand and leads her out of the pool of water and to a bench with clothes set out for her to wear. He pulls her hands up and begins to place the dress over her head and hands. Trapping her for just a moment as he is pulling it over her shoulders, he can feel Sols begin to tremble. Liam finishes pulling the dress into place and offers Solstice an elbow to hold on to.
Liam then leads Solstice into the great dining hall to have supper with him. A full feast is sitting out on the table and Liam then pours some blood into a goblet for Sols. "I believe this is what you are truly craving my love". Solstice takes the goblet and holds it in her hands staring blankly into the liquid but not drinking. Liam begins by asking her "Solstice are you okay?" Solstice can only answer by shaking her head up and down to mean yes. Then she asks Liam the burning question.... "Liam how do you know me?" He took a deep breath and sighed heavily. "This may very well be the biggest shock you have ever had my dear".
