Chapter 21 Traffic

I woke up to something smothering my face. I tried to speak but whatever it was muffled my voice I then grabbed it and felt it wasn't just one thing but two and they were squishy. I groaned as I pushed harder then I felt soothing pressing into my back squeezing me into them.

"Dam it Talia get off." I cursed.

"My baby." She mumbled then hugged me harder.

I then had an idea. "Your suffocating your baby." I told her. She then rolled off me grumbling about not wanting. I was finally free but found myself face to face with metal bars. "Seriously!?" I growled.

"Oh, look the little girl is awake." Said a man on the outside of the cage. He had black receding hair and clod brown eyes with a crooked nose and scars covering his face. "Don't worry your mom and dad are ok." He said.

"Seriously mister my mom and dad are dead." I replied.

"So, Talia didn't get busy with this vampire? That's good more profit for us." the man said.

"Oh, so you know who she is then you better hope she doesn't wake up or you'll be in big trouble." I said trying to keep my innocent appearance.

"Ha with those wounds she would be lucky to wake up within a few months." The man said. Brining back the memory of the world serpent shattering her armor and sending her flying. "We did have to knock out the Vampire though." He said with a smirk.

I looked around the cage to see Jacob passed out in the corner with bandages around his head. I then turned to the guy ready to turn him to stone when I noticed the glasses he was wearing on his ugly face.

"Sit tight well be in town in a few weeks then well give little miss Talia to her father and you two will be sold to the highest bidder." He laughed then climbed onto the cart and whipped one of the horses causing it to whine in pain and start moving. I gripped the bars and pulled but they didn't move. "Trying to escape even if you had strength those bars are enchanted to with stand S class adventurers. There is no way a little girl could bend normal bars let alone those bars." He laughed. I hissed as I let go.

I pulled out a light healing potion and trickled it into Talia's mouth. She swallowed a few times and coughed then settled down. I quickly hid the bottle as the Trafficker turned around. When he didn't see anything suspicious, he turned back around. I wanted to run him through with Excalibur, but I didn't want to be stuck here with two unconscious people. I then thought about taking the cart the saw the state of the horses they were worn out and barley functioning. Telling me he was only a scout and we were heading to his camp. When I though of more people in this situation my hands clenched crushing the glass bottle in my hand. I quickly tossed the glass out of the cage just as the man whipped around and glared at us. I hid my bleeding hand then he turned around. My hand quickly stitched itself with black smoke that vanished inches from my hand. Not long after I heard snorts of horses and quiet talking of people. There was quiet sobbing among the chatter as well as the clinking of chains. I assumed they were slaves they were transporting to the next town to be sold. I vowed that not one of these monsters would live though this trip.

'Hay I gave you something to help them.' Rasputin told me.

I reached into my inventory and pulled out two needles filled with full recovery potions. I smiled. 'Thanks Rasputin.' I said in my mind.

'You're welcome. now if you don't mind me asking for something?' He asked.

'Shoot.' I replied.

'Can I have one of their bodies?' He asked.

'Sure, but what do you need it for?' I asked.

'Experiments.' He simply replied.

'Just don't have it out in the open I don't want to see it when I come to see you guys.' I told him.
