The sound of heavy feet hitting the sand dropped with her heart . Chang clutched her arms close to herself protectively seeing the men she had just escaped from a few hours before .
After exerting herself so hard, little black dots and bright floating lights danced in her eyes, making it hard to focus . She turned her face from the blinding light of the truck and looked to the ground .
"Where did you think you were going to go Miss Dumont? Were over 800 km from where you came from, and 300km from the nearest building . Though I doubt you would find much help from them, especially in your status . " The man's eyes lingered over Chang's skin as he said the last part .
AdvertisementThe leader gave her a look full of malice . "All you have succeeded in doing is marking yourself up and wasting our time . Come with us now . "
Chang shook her head "no" and took a few cautious steps back .
"That was not a request . "
Chang stumbled backwards hitting the ground hard as the man advanced upon her . He grabbed a handful of her hair and viciously jerked her up . As he pulled her hand that had closed around a good hard rock came up to the side of his face near his eyes .
The man gasped, releasing her . Chang staggered away from him, holding her bloody rock, and tried to get away again, to hide herself . The bullets came down around her again and she dropped to her knees, shrieking a little .
"What did I say? Stop before you hit her, shes more valuable alive and intact!" The man she'd hit with the rock yelled at one of the men back with the truck .
"You're going to pay for that though, bitch . " Chang crouched on the ground her back to them, hopelessness slumping her shoulders .
"I'm sorry . . I tried so hard . . " Chang whispered to herself, feeling the cold and weakness take over . "I can't fight or run anymore . I'm sorry . . "
She closed her eyes and thought of the new friends she just made at the palace, Leila, Dinara, Halene, and Miray; she wished she had more time with them and got to know them better .
'I wish I got to talk to Justin one last time and had a laugh over a drink with him . .
Mom I love you, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you as often as I should have been,especially after dad passed . If I could go back I'd do some things over .
Im glad I met you Jian . . No matter what . Even with all the sorrow, anger, and now terror, you are one of the best things that ever happened to me . '
Chang smiled to herself, her head hung low . She felt a hand grab the back of her thin undershirt, gripping it as if prepared to rip it .
She held her breath as she prepared for the uninevitable . The hand stopped though as a whirring sound over their heads became louder and louder . A sudden wind picked up all around them throwing the dust up in large swirls around them .
Chang felt her hair whipping all around her face wildly and looked to see a darkness blocking out the light of the stars over their head .
