POV #1

As I was on a bus being transported to my new fate, I reflected. My situation possibly couldn't get any worse.

I had just got caught trying to escape from a certain death with Carlos, the estranged father of my daughter, Eva. We were separated as soon as we were captured, and I have no idea what has  become of him. I'm not sure I want to know, given the conflicted nature of my feelings towards him.

I suddenly found myself in the middle of a crowd of women. It smelled of despair and hopelessness and I got a bad feeling about what was to follow. I followed their queue and looked up.

Shellshocked, I stood there mouth agape at the elder woman in a navy blue uniform on the podium.

No. It can't be.

This place was now guaranteed to become my own personal hell.

I was faintly aware of her speaking as my heart was beating out of my throat. Despite this, her haunting final message rang loud and clear in my ears.

"As of today, your lives belong to me."

It seems that my nightmare with Doña Carmen isn't over just yet.
