*Rattle*  *Rattle*

The sound of the carriage' wheels can be heard while we move through a rocky terrain. The carriage shook and I can hear the children cry again.

*Ker-Chack!*

Ah~ there they go again. I look over to where the sound came from. It was a woman holding a whip with a sinister look on her face. 

"AHHH PLEASE STOP!"

The poor child screamed as a deep red imprint appeared on his tiny arms. 

"HAHAHAHA GO ON, YOUR SCREAMS ARE LIKE MUSIC TO MY EARS"

Ugh what a sadistic maniac, doesn't she at least pity the children.

"Hey stop damaging our goods! Their value lowers with each bruise."

The lady just rolled her eyes but then put her whip back to her belt. 

I looked around and saw the other children whimpering, afraid of being hit, they all stuck close to each other for comfort. I heaved a sigh. They're just giving that lady a sense of satisfaction whenever they cry and whimper like that.

My eyes roamed around inside the carriage, I started to observe the layout and look for possible ways out. The floors had lots of holes but it looks sturdy, the walls were made out of thick wood planks, no exit can be seen in the ceiling too, 2 windows, one door, and that lady is standing guard in front of it. Well they are all probably locked anyways. But one window was open so we can see the view outside. There's also a random mirror right in front of me.

Haa~ life really is unpredictable, who would've thought that my first time of wearing a fancy dress would be in a kidnapper's carriage. Tch, after all my fantasies of wearing a pretty dress for the first time. Ah what a waste, this is such a pretty dress too. I can almost hear my dreams shatter and I can only sigh in disappointment.
