32* Don't lose hope... It'll be fine. No situation is permanent, remember? *****Somehow, though, the girls pretended to sleep... They also fell asleep.So none of them were aware of what transpired while they were asleep.All they knew was when they woke up.. some of them were missing.And after a rough calculation... They realized that about thirty one of them were missing.*Flashback*The men opened the door and were quite ecstatic seeing that the girl's had all fallen asleep. " Um... These girls are really very pretty. "" Indeed... Especially those ones over there. " Casanova said, pointing to a set of girls who were sprawled at the edge of the hut. " Let's get them. " One said and the others nodded. They got to work carrying out the girls and placing them in the truck waiting outside.After the required twenty were done, the truck left. " We've got ten more to pick. " " I'll be taking two. " Rodger said. " Why would you take two? What about us? "" That's not my busine

>* There will always be a way. *****---- Mia ----I didn't know when I actually fell asleep...All I knew was, I found myself in the dream Land. I was in a very large cage... Similar to a bed cage as I could see what was going on outside.The cage was hung up in such a way that I could view everything going on beneath.I was alone in that cage... Tied up and looking so malnourished and weak. " Where are the others? " I thought to myself that I couldn't be alone. Even in that dream... I found myself thinking about the others.I guess it was then I realized that I have indeed gotten the leadership trait in me. At that point... I heard a loud scream which prompted me to stare down.And when I did... I was totally disgusted by what I saw...The girl's were being mishandled...While some were gang raped... Others were bleeding severely due to cruel beating and pain. " Where's Clover? " I thought to myself... Then I heard my Bestie's scream from ahead and I looked... I gasp

>* It's not the end. *****----- Clover -----I always thought life couldn't be more cruel to me, when my mom died and I had to deal with my step mom. Perhaps I was born unlucky, was one thing I always thought.Maybe I was...But then I met Mia.And she was like the perfect one.She was all I ever wanted to be and could ever be.Smart, intelligent and Godly.Not only that, she was also from a wealthy family and had such lovely parents...Her parents treated her like a little princess...too.At first I couldn't understand why this was so... Since I was used to parents being super doting towards their male kids rather than their females...But seeing Mia's situation.... I realized just how wrong I was. So wrong... More than I could ever be. Mia changed my life I must say.She pulled me to Jesus.I was a Christian... Right from day one of my life.But... I never knew who Christ was.Like most christains, I went to church on Sundays and heard about Jesus Christ ( The only begott

>* Hang in there... It's gonna be alright. *****---- Mia ----All my life, I can say that I am used to people comparing their life and situation to mine as they believe I'm like... The epitome of perfection.But am I really just as they claim?Am I really that epitome of perfection they claim I am? One thing is certain and that's the fact that I am human just like everyone else... Though it seems like I am more privileged than the others.The truth is, being more privileged comes with a lot of responsibilities.Just like the saying, " To whom much is given... More is expected. " goes.So yeah... Have got a lot of responsibilities.So many that even I can't count.And one of them is to carry others along.You know... This is one thing that's easier said than done. As lots of them won't want to relate with me.They've got this sort of belief that I am super proud and arrogant... Though I might not be.But since this had been the picture of me, they've got engraved in their

> * You are not hidden,God sees your pain. * **** Hours later, the girl's got a shocker when they were allowed to head out of the hut. They were completely amazed by the view in front of them. It was just too beautiful. Looking around at the beautiful trees and shrubs that laid around... They were stunned.. Do Bandits hide out in places as beautiful as this? They all wondered. Still they couldn't deny that the place was truly beautiful, as well...the truth is right in front of them.. Whether they believe it or not is completely left to them. They were led ten at a time to a stream of water where they all took their bath. " The water is surprisingly warm, Mia! " Angelina commented as she dipped into the water. " Indeed... " " Gosh... I can't recall the last time I had a bath! " Sasha ranted... " It's been maybe three days... Or is it four? " " It's three days already. " " Oh wow. " " Am I the only one who feels the comfort of the water? It's more like the
