Days passed. Olivia did all the things the other women did, washing dishes, making food, getting water, and tending to the children.

And like every other woman, Olivia was whipped.

And whipped.

And whipped.

And whipped.

With a long cored, or a jagged palm leaf, or even a bendable stick, the pain grew more and more unbearable.

She would stumble.

She would stagger.

She would collapse.

She would have to bring water.

She would gather fruit and fish.

She would try, and try to cook.

Along side every other woman in the tribe.

And yet, they would beat them.

They were treated like animals.

The dirt and beating sun stung her scars, crisping blood caked he back.

She lied on the ground, tears streaming from her eyes as she listened to the "crack, crack, crack" of the whip breaking across her body.

"H... Help." She whispered, and began to weep.

------------

Days passed, the day for the marriage drew nearer and nearer.

Until, at last, her fate would lead the next morning.

It was time.

------------

The day once gain ended, the sun set over the horizon.

Some of the warriors went off to the river to hunt and fish for the monsters that only lurk in your night mares.

Other men went back on guard duty further away from the village to watch for any danger.

All the woman, finally got a rest after the agonizing day.

Only one man still remained in the village.

The chief's son.

He stood at the edge of the village.

Staring at the stars.

Tomorrow, he would be married, and become a villager Brave.

But, something, wasn't...

Right.

His head snapped to his left to the sound of the slightest snap.

A shadow walked even so silently through the grass.

He bolted to it, sprinting through the grass as if he were a ghost.

It was his bride to be.

He grabbed her by her wrist, and pinned it behind her back.

She cried out, and stumbled.

He cursed at her, shouting how dare she try to run away in his own language.

But, his hurtful words stopped flowing from his mouth, when the tiny girl turned her head, and looked up at him, her tired, swollen eyes welling with tears.
