“What are we going to do?” Blake asks, pacing the floor. “That fucking bastard is going to buy me!”

I’m so angry at Taren. He said he’d get all of us out before his boss tried to sell us. Yet here we are with Blake about to be sold to a ridiculously handsome yet cold and creepy man. God knows what his story is. Or what he’ll do to her.

All I know is Blake will face a life of slavery if we don’t stop this. And the look Taren gave me suggests he can’t stop it. It’s out of his hands.

“Let’s try the vent again,” Luna suggests, staring up at the air vent, which they secured tighter since I tried to climb out of it.

I shake my head. “We’ve got no chance of getting out of there. It was too tight once I actually stuck my head in. We’d probably all get stuck.”

Kali paces back and forth. Out of the three of us, she’s been struggling the most with this entire situation from the start. And the longer we’re here, the deeper her cracks are getting. She spins around. “We can’t just let him take her. We have to fight this!”

I clench my jaw. “If we fight, all four of us will end up dead or worse. Fighting these people will only make our situation unbearable.”

Kali shakes her head. “So, what’s the option? Let that guy take her?”

Luna walks up to Kali and grabs her hand, squeezing. “This is about survival now.” She glances at Blake. “And Blake is strong.”

Blake nods. “I’ll try my best to escape and rescue you guys.”

“We make a pact right now. Whoever gets out first comes to rescue the others, okay?” Luna suggests.

We all nod and place our hands in a circle together.

A palpable sense of determination ripples through the room as our hands stack together. A fire blazes in their eyes, matching the heat of the pact we’ve just made. “We’re in this together, to the bitter end,” Kali says through clenched teeth. “We survive, we escape, we come back for the others. Remember, we’re stronger than they think we are.”

I’m glad to see she’s back to her fighting self. The initial shock of our situation broke her spirit, but not for long. She’s tougher than that.

The room falls eerily silent after her declaration. We know the road ahead won’t be easy, but we stand a chance together. The bond we’ve formed in this wretched place is our greatest weapon. And with a resilience born out of desperation, we steel ourselves for future battles.

It feels like we’re waiting in silence for an age until we hear the telltale signs of a door creaking in the distance, followed by footsteps. After a while, Matias, the crazy one, appears, smirking at us.

“Looks like Gaston has a liking for blondes. Blake has been purchased, so I’m going to get her ready.”

Matias strides forward, his cold, predatory gaze locked on Blake. The room fills with a palpable tension that feels like a physical force.
