The Signal
Brid
Everything is going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright. When I'm about to lose my mind, this is the mantra I repeat over and over again. It has now been two days since Han last communicated with me. The knuckles of my hands ache from so much snapping my fingers in anguish. Not only have those factors contributed to my stress, but I'm also worn out from not getting enough sleep. What if something happened to Han? Why hasn't he contacted me? We agreed that he would let me know if he had any news, but if he doesn't let me know by tomorrow I'll have to take action. I was like a caged animal walking from one side to the other in the cave. Nothing could take away this terrible feeling. If only Kael were here, things would be easier. He would know what to do. Kael, my love. For several days now he has been
I made it Brid I was hiding behind some bushes that were near the back door. Unfortunately, I couldn't transform to sneak away easier. Everything that I had carried in my body, had to remain as it was. That's why I couldn't transform. In my human form, I had to find the best way to infiltrate. If they were to see me, our plan would fail to leave hundreds of women in the hands of these kidnappers. After I came out of the cave, I immediately went to stand guard. After a while of waiting, I managed to see how the gate opened, and a truck came out of the compound. They had finally gone to the dock to pick up and transport the women here. There was very little left for the action to begin. My stomach ached from nerves. I had never faced something like this. Furthermore, I had no training in anything and
What Now?BridA lone tear spilled from my eye. It ran from my cheek to my neck. The sadness I was experiencing was brutal. The suffering of those poor women was crushing my insides. Now more than ever I wanted to destroy these kidnappers. Then, I will leave their bodies out in the open to be devoured by beasts of the forest. They did not deserve to be buried. I took another look around, trying to find a place where I could hide. Inside the complex, there was another gate that enclosed a long, two-story building. Notic
Monica Brid I rolled out from under the truck and stopped immediately. Like a gazelle, I ran until I reached the metal door that Han had told me about. My heart was beating wildly. I flattened myself against the wall to try to be less visible. A few seconds later, I looked at the door handle. I took it with trembling hands and turned it over. It opened with a click. With wide eyes, I contemplated it for a second. Then I opened the door slowly
The nursery Brid This was the laundry room. There were washing machines and areas for handwashing. Four women were fixing clothes that were coming out of one of the washing machines. We crossed the place until we reached another door that was at the end of the laundry room. As we crossed it, the smell of children filled my nostrils. We were approaching a place where they had several children concentrated. It was obvious from the smell. We climbed some stairs until we reached the place. The door had a window through which you could see inside. Monica pointed her finger at me telling me to peek out. As I did, I saw through the glass that it was some kind of nursery. I counted about twenty children. They were being guarded by a guard and two women who were attending to them. “This is the place where they put children that are ready to be sold
Be careful Han Brid The knife that was hiding in my hand, was buried in his neck below his ear. The man had no time to do anything. His eyes widened and glazed over. A stream of blood began to drain from the wound disappearing between his clothes. His eyes slowly closed. Until his body froze in the same position he was in. Behind me, I heard a moan. I turned around immediately, and one of the women had her mouth covered with her own hand. The other was looking at the man with hatred.“Can you keep these kids safe?" I signalled for Monica and Karla to come inside. They did not take their eyes off the corpse that was in the middle of the room. “Monica, I need
The she-wolves Brid “Karla, where is the button that opens the cells? We have to move fast." Apparently, Karl woke up from the trance she was in because she blinked several times. She quickly went to a panel on the wall and pressed a series of buttons. The lights on the buttons changed from red to green. And at that moment I knew that the cells were opened. I saw her smiling with tears in her eyes. I took her by the hand and pulled her towards the door. We had no time to lose. As we ran out of the office, I told Karla. "Take me where the she-wolves are." Without answering me, she kept runn
Where is my girl?BridLooking at Han, I saw him getting up with a lot of effort. I ran to help him. “Han are you okay? You can walk?" I checked every single part of his body thinking he had been shot. But I didn't see any blood. He lifted his face and gave me a small smile. That calms me down a bit. Then he said. “There is no time to lose Brid, we have to evacuate everyone. The main gate is not open. We cannot go out through the service door. There are many of us, and we can run the risk of crushing the children.” The gate is not open? What to do? What to do? Han was right. We couldn't risk a stampede. We needed space. “Han, arrange the women in group ten. The woman will be in charge of her own children. Get as far away from the gate as possible and tell them to cover their ears. Hur
My mate is here Brid “Pa. I knew that. I told you, remember? You are very strong and intelligent. I never doubted it. You and Brid.”Hearing my name in her voice warmed my heart. “It won't be long, little one. Don't come out until we pick you up. Do you understand Mary?” "Yes, Pa. I can't wait to see Ma. Don't be long." Han turned his gaze to me. His eyes were teary. But his smile said it all. “Thank you, Brid. I will never forget what you have done for us. Never." I smiled at him wiping my own tears. "It's time to go home," I told. He nodded his head and turned his back on me, addressing the women. “Be very careful when you go out. Carry the children. Don't let them out of your sight. And pregnant women, be careful with the pieces of rocks on the way. We have to leave this place as soon as possible. Once outside, we will meet on the plain in front of this place. Hurry up.” And just as Han pointed out, the women took their little ones and began to rush out of this hell. In the di
