The first meeting
Footsteps could be heard coming towards an underground prison situated in a deserted building.
A girl of around six years old could be seen breathing weakly , crouched down in the corner of one of the prison cells situated at the further end of the prison.
This prison was known for trafficking mostly women and children , who were later auctioned off to rich bosses as play toys or slaves.
Finally, the footsteps stopped towards the end of the prison. Men could be seen looking at a little girl in a menacing manner.
Boss, this one looks good enough to fetch us more money than the original price. One of the traffickers said.
Her story is quite sad. We did not have to capture her ourselves, her family sold her to us . He continued.
Shut up. The boss said giving the trafficker a side-eye.
The girl sat motionless, she had just realized how evil her family was. She knew she was alone and no one to turn to. The only people who cared for her were dead.
The girl was planning a way to escape but was waiting for an opportunity.
Each trafficker had stationed themselves by each cell , holding a whip with visible dry blood on its body.
They opened each cell and whipped the prisoners out of theirs cells.
The little girl followed weakly with no facial expression and calculating how to escape as this was the last chance she had .She was to be auditioned off that same day.
The prisoners were taken to a shabby room, a commotion occured. A middle aged prisoner could be seen stabbing a trafficker to death with a knife, screaming crazily "I can finally rest in peace".
Before biting off her tongue to death.
Seeing this opportunity, the little girl quietly took one of the traffickers keys, while he was distracted and ran quietly towards the exit.
On her way, she saw a boy about four years older than her. Dashing forward, she stopped at his jail cell and asked, Do you need help escaping? I can help you.
The boy could be seen bleeding profusely from stomach due to beating in a dark cell.
And why do you think I would need your help? The boy said.
Okay then,bye.The little girl said.
No, wait come back. The boy said embarrassed.
Don't worry, I will help you. My Mum always says that it is not good to ignore a person in need.
Luckily, I managed to steal the key from one of the traffickers. The little girl said cheekily while unlocking the prison cell.
Footsteps could be heard coming towards their direction.
Let's go, I will help you walk. The little girl said holding the boy's weight on her shoulder, and walking as fast as she could.
The boy was a lot taller than her , as her height could only reach the boy's chest.
He was very handsome, judging from his looks alone, he might grow up to be a heart breaker.
Stop right there or I will kill you.A trafficker said rushing towards them.
The little girl hastily locked the exit with the keys see stole. And began running with the boy.
At last, they managed to escape.
The little girl placed the boy by a stream , cleaned up his wounds with water and wrapped it up with a piece of her dress.
You can stay here, this is the most I can manage to do for you. The little girl said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
Who taught you all this? The boy asked intrigued .
My Grandfather taught me. The girl said with sadness in her eyes.
Her grandfather taught her everything thing he knew about Medicine and had asked her to keep it a secret. Because, this was a secret that was passed from generations to generations. Her grandfather had taught both her and her mother.
Sadly, her grandfather died of an illness and her mother died when she was two years old. They were the only ones that lived and appreciated her.
It's time for me to get going.The little girl said. Until we meet again.
Wait, What is your name? The boy asked.
Alana. The girl replied, walking away.
Alana. the boy repeated as if trying to ingrain her name to his person. We will surely meet again.
A few minutes later,
Cars were seen surrounding the boy. A man rushed hastily to the boy along with trained bodyguards carrying the boy into the car before proceeding to treat him.
The man is a renowned doctor known for medical feats as well as the young Master of one of the richest families in Country A.
Young master, it looks like someone already gave you first aid.The doctor said surprised.
Yes, it was a little girl who wrapped me up.The boy said with a soft expression.
Wow, she must be a genius to wrap it up so well. I don't even have to do much again as the bleeding has reduced.The doctor said in amazement.
Wait, Young master what is that look about.Are you in love with the girl? The doctor said surprised.
Alana. The boy said before losing consciousness due to fatigue.
