Anja and the Cannibal King 12

The strongest warriors of Chakra's tribe took down the beam where my arms were tied to and forced me with the support of their spears and knifes to go to these stakes.
I had no chance to resist when they tied my wrists and my ankles to these stakes,  and soon I found myself tied up like a big human "X" in between these wooden stakes.
I remembered that Chakra called them "The Stakes of Pain" and I struggled instinctively against my bonds, but I had no chance to free myself.

Chakra looked at me, still very furious and angry, and shouted out loud: "I want to hear you scream, Anja!!!"

I knew that for this moment I had nothing but my pride. And I knew that I would need all my pride and my power to overcome the next hours... the next days...

A huge muscled warrior with a long heavy whip stepped forward, standing in front of me, and another huge warrior with another whip came standing behind me.
Again I struggled against my bonds, but couldn't move.

Then Chakra said with a deep and sadistic voice: "My men are trained well at handling the whip. They can cause maximum pain with minimal damage. Do you know what that means, Anja? ... They can keep this up all day and all night long!!!"

I heard his words and I knew, that he spoke the truth. I knew that endless and endless pain was waiting for me.
Then the first lash cracked down on my back, and although I knew that this will happen I was surprised about the heavy pain on my back. But while I still was feeling the pain at my back, the first lash cracked down on my chest, and the pain was even much heavier than on my back...
Although I wanted to avoid to show my suffering to Chakra and his warrios, I had to scream out loud because the pain was so heavy...
and I knew that this was just the beginning.
And then one lash after the other cracked down on my back... on my chest... sometimes the lashes came down at the same time and I could hardly take a breath in between the lashes...
My chest and my back burned like fire...
