I take a chance and tell her: excuse me miss, you see my brother.
She looks at me curious and says: Let me see if I see them, but no miss, you can call me Amanda.
When I heard that name my body did not respond and I felt as if I fell into a void while I said to myself: 'that name was said by my mother... it will be the same person, No, I don't think so or if... What do I do if it's She?
To which I hear how she says to me: 'my child I don't see them, let's go look for them... maybe they got distracted with some candy.
I looked at the sky who was already showing almost orange clouds and said while sighing to myself: 'please, help me find them... I don't trust her'.
While I nodded and kept a prudent distance with Amanda we searched for my brothers for 2 hours without any success. When I saw that nothing at all I decided to take the risk but my mistake was to tell her that I was leaving and that on the way I would see a relative, which in that moment she grabbed me by the hand and took me to a place far away although I shouted for help and hit the woman as I could I was unsuccessful, since she excuses that I am her daughter and I am spoiled, logically at that time many people preferred not to get involved since they would lose out and since most were men they just ignored us.
He gave me a few blows and I was knocked unconscious, this gave him the upper hand and I could feel him putting me in a car and asking a man to move forward.
When I woke up I was on a boat and already far away from Scotland while I was running trying to escape and trying to swim although I didn't know the man who accompanied her took me to her and she was showing her true identity and said to me
Amanda: you have two options either you listen to me and your family lives or I simply kill them.
That made me freeze and while I lowered my head I told her: ok, I will listen to you.
This one who smiles with a Machiavellian gesture says: Orchid you raised an excellent girl, very obedient or submissive I would say.
While leaving the cabin laughing and locking the door. From time to time the man named Joshua of robust appearance with dark brown eyes and straight light brown hair and some beard, his clothes were very different from those worn by many on the ship, I estimated him about 26 years, according to Amanda he was a mercenary, although he seemed rough gesture was not as much as her, in fact he did not inspire me distrust but still decided not to trust.
After 4 days of travel according to me; we finally arrived to the mainland, so I decided to put my plan into action, it is true that I did not know where I was or how long it would take me to return home, but I was sure of one thing, I would not let him hurt my parents and that's what I did as soon as they were careless I ran and ran as much as I could without looking back, what I did not count on was that there would be more men waiting for us, the thing is that a man stopped me but the same thing happened to me as with Amanda, I did not trust him and as I could I told him
I: Ah, I just got a little far from my parents, but I saw them.
To which the man looked at me strangely and said: you have a family resemblance to my boss.
I could only laugh and when I was about to run I heard a scream.
Amanda: AHA SPOILED BRAT YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO RUN AWAY FROM ME.
I was expecting a scolding or a lift from Josué but not a big slap from a furious Amanda to which Esteban a thin but strong man being a little taller than Josué and brown skin with green eyes tells her
Esteban: Calm down Amanda, the merchandise sells better in good condition.
And while I rub my cheek I hear him say
Amanda: I've had more patience than you can imagine, making her believe that I helped her look for her brothers when they were probably already at home... it wasn't easy.
To which I shout at her angrily: YOU ARE A LIAR AND BAD.
And again she gives me another slap and with anger but very calm she tells me: you have the same face as your mother when I saw her for the last time, hate me just as I have hated Orchid.
It was true that it made me angry, but more than hate I felt pity and I think that my mother had felt pity towards her sister Amanda and that's why she hated her or that's what I thought.
When night came we arrived to a place in the mountains and I saw several men with different clothes but somewhat similar, a boy with red hair and beautiful blue eyes and white skin almost tanned says
Man 1: What a blow, girl, you look like you ate a cactus -while taking a deep breath and asking- Who did such cruelty?
A calmer Amanda says without hesitation: Me, is there a problem?
While Josué says: "Marcos, you cure her, please.
I see how he whistles and in a Spanish I had never heard before he says: Come on man, I'll take care of the girl, but you make me dinner, eh!
While Esteban looks at him and says in a slightly softer Spanish: I don't like your Spanish accent, but no swearing in front of the girl.
He nods and makes me sit down on a chair and he gradually heals me and checks my mouth in case I have anything else and without paying much attention to the warning he says a rude word and comments
Marcos: Fuck, boss, you wanted to blow out the girl's teeth, two of them are gone.
Esteban, somewhat uncomfortable, gives him a smack on the head and says: The smack is because I told you about the rudeness and you don't pay attention.
I was astonished and just looked at them while Marcos glared at me and said: excuse me, don't record that word.
I just nod a little shyly and decide not to speak even though I couldn't even say a peep because of the pain.
