2 weeks passed and I had gotten into a routine. We got up around 6 am and walked. then we'd a place to sleep and have a small dinner at about 10. Pretty dull, but I had to. It was my only chance of survival. I woke up one morning after the same dream I had each night. Just a replay of Haru dying. I woke up and found myself rubbing my back again. I let my mind wander because I still had a while before everyone else woke up. It kept drifting into places I wish it wouldn't. But I couldn't stop it now.

(Flashback)
The teenager waited at home, silently sweeping the concreted floor. A drunken man stumbled into the house, her uncle.
"Hey there, you! c'mere!" The man said. She reluctantly drew closer to him, trying to keep her distance.
"I said get here!" He came closer to her and tried to kiss her. Tears stung in her eyes as she tried to push him away.
"Stop!" She screamed.
"Don't like that huh?" He pulled out his whip "then try this!" He started to whip her back, blood trickled down and pain shot through her body...
(End of flashback)

"Akito!" I snapped back to reality and came to realise one of the troops in my face.
"Uh, sorry sir." I stood up and tried to wipe away the tears that I didn't know existed.
We trudged on miserably, not the slightest murmur was to be heard. Then something in my brain clicked. I wasn't free. I was safe but not free. I had to get out of here. I scanned my surroundings, then the soldiers. They had a sword and guns. Maybe I could try asking first. I broke the lines we were walking in and made my way to a troop.
"Excise me sir, where are we going?" I asked. He stared at me for a moment, then looked straight ahead, ignoring me.
"Where are we going?" I asked more sternly. Again he didn't answer. I quickly grabbed his sword and held it up to him.
"I said where are we going." I said, sounding more like a command than a question.
"Little girl, just put the sword down and nobody's gonna get hurt, you dint know what you're getting onto." He whispered.
"It's a trap!" I yelled.
"N-no, she's just kidding, haha good one!" I could see the small beads of sweat dripping down his face.
"I'm going to ask you one more time. Where are we going?"
"Stop pokin' your nose into stuff you don't need to know." He said quietly. I slashed his arm and ran. I couldn't stay.
