Chapter 11

I was abandoned I bet. By now Alamesh and Magaret are on their way to the devil's forest.

They may have to pass through the redwood chasm but they will be fine as long as they don't run into bandits.

When Duncan gave me the plans to escape he told me there was one way out that gave us a 50% survival rate.

Hope they didn't go that way or only God knows what horrors will come after them.

As I wiggled in my chains I could feel them dig into my skin trying to tear apart my lines.

"Ha their cold and lonely like me . "(Linda)

I tried my best to get out of them but it was to no avail.

They were deeply rooted in the wall and must have been reinforced by magic.

What happened was very simple yet truly cruel.

Blake threatened to kill my mom and dad if I didn't stay in town.

So I instead cut off my finger so a clone of me could lead Alamesh and his little girlfriend down the right path.

For the crossroads, it is an ancient pathway for old slaves to escape through those tunnels.

One leads to an underground city. of ruins of an ancient civilization. This route lead to the devil forest and was the safest to go.

The other leads to a town far both from here called Daruma. Daruma the town at least was a safe place

The area around it was surrounded by the devil clan unhappily.

Plus a large number of monsters were attracted to it was some strange reason.

" So you still want to go on adventures."(Blake)"Awe how cute."

As the door open, I could feel myself freeze in place.

Blake had come back with even more alcohol and weapons.

He reeked of alcohol and his intoxicated smell could be probably smelled from miles away.

"I'm a prisoner but even I have standards. Go take a bath you freak. " (Linda)

'Slap'

As the pain entered into my face I could my body shaking.

I had a slow reaction to it so all I could do is stare at the man.

"Listen girly I don't get why you're taking so long. Just tell me how to escape this city." (Blake)

"This place is your hell. We are forced to live in your prison. If the kingdom stuck you here why would I help you escape?"

As Blake looked at me his face got bright red as if he was angry he grabbed a mallet from the basket he brought with him used a mallet to hit the wall.

"Dammit, I missed fuck." (Blake)

As Blake sat down on the four he looked almost relieved to me.

This gaint man who has killed millions looked like he was happy to just take a break.

After a while, he went out of the room again bringing his weapons with him.

As I gazed at him in confusion felt a weird thought come to my head.

'How strange .'

After all, Blake came back. His long red hair. was in a ponytail and he looked much gentler.

"I'm sorry for his actions earlier." Blake."I'm Jeremey.".

"What?!" (Linda)

========≠==≠====≠================≠===

After a while, we entered the city in search of where Linda went.

Unsurprisingly of course she was nowhere to be found.

We went alley to alley because but we found no sight of a clue of where she went

On the way, we noticed security had been tightened for some reason or another.

"Think it has something to do with Linda?"(Alamesh )

"I don't come on guards are coming this way."(Magaret)

After moving to a safer location I and Magaret considered our options.

"So finish playing hero yet?"(Alamesh)

As I crouched by Magaret I stared intently at her face to see what she was thinking.

'It can't be just you and us. We need a team if we are going to survive in this world. I don't know if she is trustworthy and I don't care. We just need to draw out more time.."(Magaret)

Magaret traced the ground making a land map of the general area.

"Do you see this building here in the middle? It's called the Granberry estate.."(Magaret)

As Magaret explained to me the function of it we moved closer to the building.

If all slaves had a collar on them then maybe the people did as well.

"What are you two still doing here?"(???)

As we looked behind us we Duncan and his two daughters. They were walking with black coats completely covering their bodies.

"Linda after she came back was acting strange so we came back to get her."(Magaret)

As Magaret walked forward her finger turned into a tiny knife. Slowly but maturely it got to the size of a sword.

"Margaret he's on our side." (Alaemsh)"What are you doing."

Shut up and let me think dumbass."(Magaret)"So we were decoys right?"

As Magaret walked forward the sword poked directly at Duncan's throat.

"Make sense don't you think? You gave Linda a map but there were two routes .security has

been tightened and you're dressed like something is happening."(Magaret

"This is a mass slave trade going on. The Arena is hosting the auction. Young lady, I can assure you I gave Linda a good map. "

After looking into his eyes for a while Magaret backed away from Duncan and her hands went to normal.

"Then what happened to Linda." (Margarett)

As Magaret thought to her self Duncan stepped forward and looked concerned.

"Did she have a body part missing?" (Duncan)

"Yes, it was a finger. Is there something? wrong" (Alamesh)

"Fuck come one kids we have a lot to do. ." (Duncan )
