Chapter 71: Finally in Hill town.

~Elena Wilson.

"Do you see them over there?,These are the slaves that were brought in from Alagba village." I could see a hunter push a lady roughly, asking her to move. I looked at Naomi, she still had a bandage on her head and the scars on her legs were almost fading. We were behind a tree, watching from the top as they made those girls line up.

She bent down, took a mud from the soil and rubbed it on my forehead, then she hit me on my face, "What the..?." I raised my voice but she put her hand on my mouth so as not to make a noise.

"Shut up." She whispered and I knocked her hand off my mouth with a glare. I raised my thumb to my mouth and winced, there must be a small cut at the spot. "Why did you do that?."

"You think they won't abduct you without a fight. Stop playing dumb."She replied rudely.

Her eyes widened and I looked back to find a guard coming over here. She hugged me briefly and scurried out of the place. I watched the hunter stop and sniff, and brought out his gun. "Who's there?." He asked coming closer to me.

I came out from behind the tree and put my hands up. He was pointing a gun at me. "What are you doing here?." I pretended to be afraid as I flinched whenever he made a step. "Please don't kill me." I cried…

He grabbed my hair and I screamed, he started walking back to the camp. For a moment, I thought my hair was gonna pull off its roots. The pain was excruciating.

He pushed me so I fell at the legs of a man. The hunter bent down and grabbed my chin, making me look at his terrible eyes. "You bitch!!. How dare you try to escape?." A slap landed across my face, I mistakenly bit my tongue and blood oozed out of it, I turned down and spat it out. He looked at me satisfied after seeing my blood.

"Good. Take her to the rest while I talk to Lord Stefan." I raised my face when he pronounced Stefan's name. The mistake of a thing grabbed me and pushed me forward to the other girls who lined up as though they were about to be sold to the merchants.

"They killed my only brother. They killed Kyle…" A girl beside me wailed. I looked at her, she had her very soft pale skin covered in dirt, and there was a small cut on her head. Does Stefan know that he is destroying people's lives?. Does he know that?.

How could they do this to humans?. Because they're weak?.

I watched them come out of the tent. I could see Stefan Brown and his brother gave orders and started walking away. The men started walking toward us, the other beside him had a suitcase with him.

He stopped in front of us and looked at his companion. The man opened the suitcase, and handed him a white container. I watched him emptied the container on his right hand and started distributing it all to us.

"Now, put the pills into your mouth and swallow." He ordered fiercely. His look was deadly and his voice was hard as stone. He walked up to me and glared at me, I quickly threw the pill into my mouth, then he turned to leave but stopped and turned.

"Open your mouth." He commanded and my heart skipped. Hell no, I'm not going to swallow this pill. Everyone was looking at me, "Now.." He pointed his gun at me and I gasped, the pill quickly went down my throat, and the realization hit me. I slowly opened my mouth and he turned back, "Move, everyone."

"Ssh...are you trying to wake them?." I heard a female voice hiss.

"Obviously you all are," I muttered, not yet ready to show whoever it was that I was awake via opening my eyes.

I lay still on the bed, not wanting or daring to move. The bed was surprisingly hard on my skin and I wondered if this was really my room. Then I started to remember the last thing I did before slumping down. Yes, the men. They made us hop into a van and for a few seconds, we started to fall asleep and then blacked out.

"Do you think we should wake them up," A foreign accented voice asked. "She's already awake. Just not getting what was happening around her." A confident voice replied to her.

"You know it is. You've been there before." The first voice came again and I placed her voice to be Italian. My throat dried up and suddenly I wanted to drink water, I finally opened my eyes. I sat up and looked at the two girls who disturbed my sleep earlier on and scrutinized them.

The first was white, white pale skin and bleached colored hair like mine. Her eyes were brown in color. I looked at the other who had the same skin color as Ava, just she had black brunette hair.

"She's beautiful. Just like Elena while she was here." My heart skipped when she said that. The only thing I changed in me were the green eye colored lenses I put into my eyes. They were looking intently at me, oh I needed to distract them. If they could find me out easily, others would definitely.

"Elena has sea blue eyes. She just managed to look like her." The other girl said and smiled at me, "What's your name?." She asked me.

"Abigail." I answered the name that crossed my mind.

"I'm Bosy, from Egypt and this is Grace. We're the maids remaining in hill town. Others were sold out recently so we're the ones here. They brought the five of you.." She explained and I looked beside me and noticed the other five girls sleeping.

"And you'll soon be assigned your duty. Lord Stefan is the only one who had always wanted a personal maid. One of you must be chosen to work for him.." She said and grinned while the other just smiled.

"He has always needed a beautiful clean maid and you fit in that description. He's a handsome sexy master but you must be careful of him. He kills without a second thought…"

"And avoid his girlfriend, Lady Wendy." I frowned when she said that. Wendy just sobered me up.

The door opened immediately and the maids quickly scurried to one side and bowed. A woman in her late thirties walked in. She stood and looked at me.

"While the others sleep on. Get ready and come out with her." She ordered, turned and left. The other ladies shrugged, "Get ready for your first job." Bosy whispered.
