Namir shook like a leaf as she looked about.

Thoughts raced through her mind to escape, then she remembered the cane and the chains and froze, no, she did not want that... anything but that fate. Coughing in pain she doubled over, her coughs worsening, they had not fed her or her friend much and the little sunlight and movement was having a very bad effect on her already frail body.

Shivering in the cold air she could feel her nipples rise, when the men saw that, she shuddered at the thought. They may not have raped her yet, but she knew it would be coming soon, either that or she would be raped by the first person to buy her.

She had tried to fight them, but they had killed her friends before her, stabbing each one down one after another, with a small choaked sob she wished them well in the next life. The men had stripped her while she must have been sleeping, she hated the idea and shook more violently.

"Bitch?!" A cry came from outside the cage, now laid on the ground, her eyes snapped up, searching around for the voice, a soft chuckle came from others.

"Turn around." The man taughted, laughter coming form the others, seated round their fires. She span around, about to look when a strong arm clamped around her neck, sending her crashing back against the metal bars. They rang as she collided and let out a small cry as the laughter stung in her ears with the chiming metal.

"Please." She mumbled, drool rolling down her chin as he grabbed one of her arms through the bars and tugged at her little wrist.

"Did I say you could speak slave?" He chuckled.

"No." She sobbed, looking down, ashamed to bow down to this man.

"Then. why. are. you. talking." He tightened his grip on her neck and yanked her arm with every word, she cried out again. Looking at the other men for support. Only met by their learing faces, all enjoying the specticle she wept openly.

"Your going to your new home soon with our leader, won't that be fun?" He laughed cruelly, releasing his grip so she could let out a struggled breath.

"We'll be there by tonight once we've finished eating our evening meal we're travelling all night just so you can be there for him in the morning with your new friend. You'll like that won't you?" He yanked her round to look at the wide eyed young woman in the same cage as her, now sitting further away from the edge, fearing the same fate as Namir.

"Answer me!" He yelled when she didn't reply to him, she frantically struggled and wept. "I said answer me!" He shouted, pulling her wrist through the bars and bending it back bit by bit.

"Oh God, please stop." She pleaded softly,

"Then reply." Came his short answer.

She could feel her wrist snapping back, starting to sob hysterically at the sheer agony she muttered something; "Sorry.... ah... what was the question... please."

He growled in anger and shoved her forwards, she hit the ground in front of her and collapsed forwards. Lifting herself up by her knees she just stayed in that position, struggling for breath, bend over like an animal.

"You'll learn to obey." The man finished, strolling away, sadistical laughter filling the air.
