Unfortunately, running away from everyone didn’t really take her very far. As to be expected, the door to the back was locked. It went out into the main base of the traders. She knew the layout roughly to get around. But it wouldn’t budge for her and it didn’t seemed to be locked. ‘Damn, I can’t get out through here…’ Staring towards the way she came, she knew that she would be recaptured again soon. ‘Maybe if it’s just a couple of them I can manage with my self-defense classes.’ She had refrained from doing anything violent before for the sake of the others and being simply outnumbered.

Chaos out in front and the distraction might be enough for her to escape. But she was completely naked. She didn’t know how far she could get attracting so much attention.

Then she heard a voice that she actually understood. ‘Someone else escaped?’ No, they were calling to her inviting her to be sold off. ‘They already adapted that fast to be being bought? Are we really that weak willed?’ Hesitation and doubt filled her heart. She was running out of options.

Capture was inevitable. Was this her only chance?
