Jessie Bondririas is a young girl with everything she has ever dreamt. Until one day when war breaks out. She's captured by enemy forces. She's enslaved and is forced to serve their army or else she would be killed.

They storm her hometown's refugee homes and must watch her parents be killed. She had to suppress her pain and grief. 

She gets depressed and thinks that there's no remaining hope, until she meets a couple of teens her age from the other side of the fence. They're citizens of the enemy's country but are Christian and super nice. They become her friends and show her the gospel.

She rejects it at first, but is eventually led to believe. They give her a small Bible and she cherishes it. She reads it every second she can, but when she tries to share the gospel with another inmate, he throws it to the ground and the guards see it and seize it.

So she begs her friends to give her another one but with the new fencing it would not fit. So they wrote verses in pieces of paper each day. She memorized everything that she could because she knew that if they found it they would take it.



And also Canva created the cover as well as additional information added by me and the scroll from CleanPNG.com. And in this book the character struggles with manipulating others and cursing, but anything curses word will be (definitely i do not curse in real life or my writings) covered like this: @%*# or something similar.

Fighting for Rose by whitetigerpaw
43 parts Complete Mature
-Blake- Rose stands not too far in front of the ring looking at me, her face is pale and my gut twists in ways it never has. She shouldn't be here, why the hell is she here? My hands drop to my side, the victorious feeling once flowing through me is replaced with one of dread. She saw me fighting. ------- -Rose- "Alright. Time for you to go." He says. I feel the pull on my arm as he tries to take me away but my feet feel like they are glued to the ground as I continue to look at Blake. He has a little smirk on his face as he looks over the crowd. A look so completely different than any of the ones I saw the other day. Then our eyes meet, and his smirk drops. He drops his hands that were just held high in victory and looks at me like he's seeing a ghost. The guard pulls harder on my arm and I go flying back into his chest. "Listen here, I don't want to manhandle you, so do as I fucking say. Move." He growls as he pushes me into the crowd of celebrating people. I do what he says and start walking towards the exit, but I look over my shoulder one last time before I'm too far in the crowd to see anything. Blake's hands are fisted by his side and his face is red with anger, his eyes are focused on the hands that are on me pushing me away from him. ----- I am the original owner of this book, please do not copy.
