* 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.

She pulled me to Jesus.

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...

One thing they noticed was how few they were...Weren't they more than this on the first day of their captivity?Why then do they look so few now? " Where are we, Mia? " Sydney inquired looking around. Unlike their previous location, here was a bit cold and the hut they are in is a bit more cramped. Though a bit more modern than the previous." A new location. " " But why? " Another asked."

    > * 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.

But still, the girl's were awoken by the cries of the fellows who were being taken away. Despite the anger and hurt they felt inside, the girl's couldn't do anything as they watched a score ( twenty ) of them being taken away... To a location unknown. The others who were left, didn't know whether to cry or laugh at their cruel fate.It was really so sad and depressing.First, there was no sign of them being rescued and second, they were decreasing by the day.Who knows when it'll be their turn too?" I was right when I said.... It seemed like calm before the storm. " " You were. "" I don't want calm at all, if all that would come after it will be a storm! I don't want this at all! "" I don't too!

It's been two weeks now since we've been kidnapped... And I must say, we aren't having a good time at all. A lot has happened over the past two weeks... I watched a lot of atrocities being committed much to my dismay. We are being reduced on a daily basis... From being a hundred and thirty girls... We've got barely fifty of us left now. I wonder what became the fate of the girl's that have been taken away... We heard they are being sold out for Prostitution and slavery to countries across the borders. The thought of that sucks... Really. It really hurts me to realize that the girls are slowly losing hope on a daily basis...Some are even accusing me of sorcery... As they claimed all of their friends have

I thought on the girl's words and my responses.Indeed... They were right in a way.There's currently no sign of us being rescued.We've heard multiple times of girl's being kidnapped and ending up nowhere to be found.At first, we were all worried about them, but as time went on.... Everyone moved on with their lives and forgot about them.And the security system?Only a dumb person would place trust on them... As they certainly can't be trusted... Not at the very least!How can they be trusted when some of them are informants of the bandits?And it's even rumored that minorities of them work hand in hand with the bandits to plot this?
