Her:

"Make sure you tie her back up. Otherwise she'll try to escape again."

I couldn't see who was exactly talking but from the voice I was able to recognize who it was. I was too worn out to be able to even open my eyes.

"What's the point?" said the other boy in the room.

"What's the point you ask? The point is if she escapes it'll compromise everything we have and we've done. Do you want to die? Because if she manages to escape you'll be the first one that I kill. Is that understood?"

"Yes," the boy replied with a shaky voice. I could hear the fear inside the boy's voice. Must be new and young. Most likely undergoing training and being exposed to this disgusting world.

I heard the door close and foot steps approach me.

At the thought of being touched by someone else made me want to gag. But I had no other choice but to hold it all in. I wanted to scream for help but I knew it was pointless. I've tried it many times in the beginning. But it was futile. Instead I was punished for not being obedient.

I still didn't open my eyes because I feared for what would happen after. I felt the boy's presence right next to me.

He bent down next to me and after a while I felt him grab my wrist. He didn't grasp it too hard but my body was already in so much pain that I couldn't hold in my whimper. I felt a tear sliding down my face knowing what was going to happen and how much more pain I would be in afterwards.

"It's okay I'm not going to hurt you."

I'm not going to hurt you.

Did I just hear that right?

"Listen to me," the boy whispered. "I need you to open your eyes."

I didn't know if this boy was playing a trick on me and was trying to get me to open my eyes to later punish me for doing so. But something in his voice told me he wasn't like all those other men. So slowly I opened my eyes and came in contact with dark brown eyes.

"We don't have a lot of time. So I need you to pay close attention to what I say."

I continued to stare at him in regard as to what he has to say. Why don't we have a lot of time? What does he need me to do?

"This is your only chance of escaping. After today you won't have any more chances like this." My eyes widened at what he just said. Escaping. Is he actually going to help me get away from this hellhole?

"I'm going to un-cuff you and take you to the back exit. There are no guards there because there is a new shipment coming in and so all the guards went out to help there. The only guards here are out in the front. Okay?"

I didn't know what to say. Was this really happening right now?

"I need you to say something or at least nod your head so that I know you can hear me and understand what I'm saying!"

Slowly I nodded my head, hoping this truly wasn't a trap.

"Good," he nodded while taking out a key from his pocket. He slid the key into the locks that were around my wrists and ankles. He placed both his hands around my shoulder helping me stand up.

"Once I take you to the back door, I need you to run as fast as you can. Don't turn back to even look. Just keep running. Don't even bother hiding in the forest. Try to get out of the forest as fast as you can."

Without much else to say he started to walk us out of the room. Looking both left and right he proceeded on forward dragging me along. When we finally got to the back door, he pushed in the code in the keypad disengaging the alarm on the door.
