ESCAPE

Thank God we were close to the gate already before the correctional officer alerted the prison premises.

The alarm began to sound but luckily for us we run out of the gate, we didn’t stop running until we began to hear the sound of the siren.

Emily was ahead of me , we could see an SUV ahead, Emily then yelled to me that she can see her boyfriend.

I was already tired when I fell down. I looked up and couldn’t see Emily again, I could hear the sound of the siren closer to me.

I didn’t know what path my friend took. I looked up and I could hear the sound of a siren approaching, I quickly looked around and I spotted a bush. I ran into it, as I ran through the bushes, I kept falling down, getting bruises and feeling pains in my hand.

I quickly hid and I could hear sounds of dogs “hoof !hoof! And flashes of flashlights moving around.

I hid trying to hold my breath but it was not holding my breath and not long. The police turned back and I quickly ran out of the bush. Luckily for me I saw a car coming and I waved to it standing in the middle of the road.

The car stopped and a woman came out of it. I walked to the car and begged her to help me.

She looked at me in my uniform, and she opened the car for me to enter.

I entered and she started the car and drove off, she looked at me as she was driving.

“ Are you a correctional officer? She asked and I was quiet for a while and I shook my head to say no.

“ But you are wearing one? She asked.

“ Yes because it’s the only way I could escape from some hoodlums chasing after me, this belongs to a friend” I lied.

“ I see,” She says.

“ Why are the hoodlums chasing after you? She asks as she drives.

“ Because I refuse to accept their love proposal” I lied.

I was looking ahead when I felt something like a needle pierced into my body. I opened my eyes wide and looked into her face and looked down to my laps.

“ Well dear, you just happen to come at the right time, '' she said with a devilish smile while I tried to struggle but I was weak at that moment and I shut my eyes slowly.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dark room, I was still looking around in shock when the door of the room opened, two hefty men came in and and next they drag me up to my feet and I was taken to where I was bidded for . My bidder didn’t even come to the place where every single man was bidding at the auction.

They were all calling , $5000, $7000 but he was watching from home from a projector, with a cigar in his hand and next , he mentioned how much he wanted to buy me and the hall fell silent.

The auctioneer asked if anyone was ready to bargain the price, there was no one ready to bargain the price. He transferred his money and I was taken back into the room I had been brought out.

Few minutes later, I was given a dress to wear . I was feeling so famished but the thought of my kids was also in my head.

I don’t know what it was to be sold but one thing I know is that it won’t be easy.

After dressing up in a bum shirt and a top bra, my hands and legs were chained again and my eyes were blindfolded this time.

I was taken out by some men. I didn't know what was going on, I was scared and was pleading,no one answered me. Next I was taken into a car and heard the car door closed , I heard it closed for the second time and the car moved.

The car drove for about an hour or more before stopping.

It stopped about four times before finally stopping.

The driver came down and opened the back door seat and dragged me out of the car.

I struggled hard from the hand of the driver but he was stronger than me.

I was dragged towards a place I don’t know and I heard a soft voice say with smells of Cigar everywhere.

“Leave her alone and go,” he said.

I began to struggle and I fell on my body and I paused. I struggled to stand up but it wasn’t easy because my hands were bound even my leg and my eyes were blindfolded.

I felt his hand around me with the smoke of his cigarette blown into my face.

“ Why are you struggling when you are home? He says softly.

I then struggled more and in his arms but he still didn’t let go of me, slowly I felt his hand run down my waist to my thigh, then I used my body to yank his hand off and he moved his hand to my face while I was panting and being stubborn.

He pulled off the blindfold on my face and I opened my eyes and my eyes met with his eyes, we locked eyes, he didn’t show emotion or even smile but yet he didn’t blink his eyes from my me, I look away and tears dripped down my face.

“ Why are you crying? Am I hurting you with my hands around you? I look back at his face and nod my head even though he wasn’t hurting me. I just want to stay away from his hand.

“ You are my property and I have every right to touch any part of your body” he says to me.

I open my eyes wide and he brings his hand to the chain in my hand and he calls his driver to bring the key to the chain in her hand.

He collects the key and turns me around to sit on his lap with my back against his chest, I could feel his heartbeat against my back.

He brings his face closer to mine from behind, he looks into my eyes and I look away from his eyes, I quickly focus my eyes on my binded hand.

He slowly caressed my hand with his hand as he unchained me and I looked down to my feet as he slowly caressed my leg to my feet, he also unchained my feet.

He slowly moved his hand back to my body and I quickly stood up from his laps.

He kept staring at me , I looked into his eyes and I moved my eyes around the whole luxury living room, then I saw the doorway, I smiled thinking I had seen an escape route.

I took to my heels and I fell down while trying to run, I guess I fell down due to being tied for a long time.

He didn’t even flinch, he picked another cigarette and watched me.
