When Judith was captured she had not fought back. At first she pulled away from the Dark Elves, frightened at the sudden feeling of someone touching her. Then soon enough she realised what was happening and then she realised that there was more than one. She knew that it was Dark Elves when they captured her in the dark, no Light Elves would have been able to see her. She had ran for quite some time not knowing where she was going, but she could still smell the burning camp. She didn't even know if she could make it. She felt like a fool.

At first they left her in her cell, perhaps to drive her insane from isolation. She didn't speak to the other captured Light Elves, they didn't seem interested anyways. She watched as they were tortured and it only made sense that eventually they would do the same to her. When they came to her cell one day, she was dragged out of it by her hair. They had tied her wrists together and her ankles, making sure that she could not resist or attempt to flee. Though Judith was tired and weak, she had no energy to do such things. She didn't resist, she didn't even cry. She remained silent even when they first interrogated her.

When she would not answer their questions they punished her. One Dark Elf struck her whenever she refused to speak and when she said that she did not know anything he would use a knife to cut her. Another time a Dark Elf tried to get information out of her in another manner. It was in the middle of the night, not many other Dark Elves were around and even if they were they probably would not have stopped him or they would have joined in. He had approached her and then cornered her in her cell. He was strong and as he pinned down Judith she finally screamed for the first time. He wanted to undress her, but she resisted. She bit him, hard, and he let go once he began to bleed. After that he had beaten her and left her sobbing in her cell, he didn't want to touch her after she had given him a nasty wound. She hoped that it would be infected.

Days felt like weeks to Judith and weeks felt like months. They continued to beat her, but it took very long for her to reveal any useful information. Earlier she had lied about the location of another camp, when they left to attack they discovered that there was no camp. Angered by her trick they returned and nearly killed her. They didn't when she had told them the real location of a camp. They thought that if she knew where one was then she would know where another was.

Judith laid in her cell, the ground was cold and her body trembled. Her eyes were dark from lack of sleep, her body felt sore from sleeping on the cell's floor. She wondered how long they would keep her alive, she didn't even feel alive anymore. Maybe she was already dead. She brought her knees up to her chest and hugged them. I'm going to die here, she thought. Just like the others.
