A well-aged women had found her way to where me and Alayna stood. She caressed her soft skin with her wrinkled hand. I grabbed Alayna's hand as the women's eyes shone on her rigid face. The women gave me a reassuring look, telling me not to fear. Her worn out look reminded me of the final moments of my mothers' life, telling me not to worry and always do what's best for Alayna.
Surely, she would be happier with me. I looked away from the old woman before she had the chance to influence me into giving Alayna away to her. Me and Alayna were fine together, first taking care of our mother and then taking care of each other. But I recognized the hope and excitement in Alayna's face as the women embraced her. This is what she wanted, stopping her was selfish even for me.

"Amelia!". A stern voice echoed through the room. I look up, surprised as to why my name had been called put. I did not move from my place.
"Amelia!! Hasten yourself!" I guess our madam wanted me to move behind so the other, more fresher looking girls could be seen. As I walked towards the back of the bare barren room, our madam looked at me agitatedly.
"Amelia step forward." I was unaware to what was happening, but I walked forward to stop my madam's embarrassment turn into her anger.
