Captured

"Rose, what's wrong?" Emily grumbled as she roused from her sleep.

Rosette lay motionless as her eyes lingered fearfully on the tip of the spear nestled between her breasts. She lifted her gaze until it rested on a head covered with a black turban. Then it drifted to a pair of black eyes, thick arched eyebrows, and plump lips almost hidden beneath a mustache and thick beard.

"Angel, what... what's happening?" Rosette stuttered, her voice filled with concern. Instead of calling out to Mary or Emily, she turned to Angel for support, knowing that Angel was the most dependable of the women in the group.

Angel was anxious. She did not feel the presence of the people around them until it was too late.
