GRISHAVERSE X READERS

A NEW LIFE [KAZ BREKKER]

Requested by: @Obicat3 (I usually don't take requests here and this was an exception, please keep that in mind) 

I don't really publish anything to Wattpad right now and it might be that it won't change, please go to my AO3: swanimagines if you wanna read my SaB stuff in the future too. I already have posted a lot of stuff that's not been published here. This will be published here only because it was requested here and the requester told me that they don't have an access to Tumblr.

Warnings: mentions of rape

Word count: 1.6k

You had never had an easy life. Ever since your parents sold you to slavers for kruge, you had been assaulted, beaten up, raped and abused for too many times to count. First by slavers and then by pleasure house customers. You had thought it wouldn't get any worse. You were wrong.

You had been bought by a merchant who made you his fiancée and ever since then, you had been raped almost every day. The man said he owned you now, and every time he found out you still weren't pregnant, he beat you up and then raped you again, as if it was your fault.

You had tried to tell him that there must be something wrong in your ovaries after being forced into sex so many times, but your owner wouldn't listen. He had said that your only purpose as a woman is to bring children to this world, his children. Then you'd nurse them and he'd make them merchants too.

After months of that going on, you finally had a huge kick of luck, which offered you a window to run away. You had sneaked to the other side of the city, and found shelter from under the bridge and prayed every night to have one more day to live.

You knew you had to make up new ways to survive, so you stole, sold things, anything you could get your hands on. Nobody ever caught you, so you became more and more ambitious with it, stealing bigger things, from carts, from houses, even from merchants' wagons.

It wasn't long before you had made enough money to buy nicer, warmer clothes and renting a place to stay in.

That had been the best day of your life so far. You were free, and nobody could ever hurt you again. You were the happiest you had ever been, and you were going to make the most out of it. But stealing was still your way to live, so you kept it up.

One day, you ran away from Stadwatch and collided with a man. You didn't even look up to him before you sprang past him, but not without your skillful hands groping through his pocket and grabbing a nice looking pocketwatch. You quickly ran away, without the man even noticing.

You ran back home, to the place where you were staying and you quickly hid the watch inside the hole on your mattress. You knew you couldn't sell it right away, because that would be too risky, but it was a nice catch anyway.

Elsewhere, Kaz Brekker and Jesper Fahey strode down the streets after Inej had told interesting news about a man who owed Dirtyhands a lot of money, and who had been missing for the past month. The rat had finally crawled out of his hole, and Kaz was immediately going to collect the debt.

But then, suddenly, he noticed something. His pocketwatch. It had been stolen.

Kaz cursed under his breath and looked around. Then, suddenly, it dawned to him. The girl who collided with him earlier must have stolen it. He groaned, and Jesper frowned at him.

"She stole my pocketwatch," he said.

"What? How?" Jesper asked.

"It looks like we encountered a particularly skillful thief," he replied. "Anyway, we'll find her. We'll find her and get my watch back, but first we'll collect the debt from that filthy bastard."
