Tammy's POV

I looked through the empty corridor. Everything was quiet looking both sides to see if the coast was clear,I walked out into the corridor with each step silent and muffled. I tried to keep calm but my heart betrayed me over and over again. The thought of my best friend with those terrible men haunted me.

I kept on going sometimes looking back to see if anyone was coming after me until,I dunted the wall.

Wait,a wall has no hands...

I gasped when I felt someone hold me placing their palm over my mouth stopping me from the scream I attempted to make..
"Careful,sweetheart." I lifted my gaze and met gray ones. It was a man,he had a smirk on his face that made me uncomfortable. I tried to run back but his hand held me so close to him

"Behave your self,beautiful," he said as I tried to wiggle my self out of his grip.

"Are...are you a man?" I asked my curiosity getting the best of me. A smile curved his lips as he stared at me with amazement

"Yes,don't I look like one to you?" He asked holding me tighter against him leaning his face closer to mine. I turned my face away pushing him further away with my fists

"D'you want to me to show you just how manly I can be,mmmh?" His free hand grazed along my waist to my thigh making me to wiggle trying to let loose but all was futile until...

Something in his pocket buzzed.

He growled in anger as he reached out into his pocket and pulled out a black fat  phone with a thick Ariel on the top

"Thomas,do you copy?over" a voice came from the phone

"Thomas,here,I copy,over." He replied

"Report to the hall. We are about to leave,over."

"Roger that,over." He placed the phone back into his pocket and as if noticing my query, he said..

"Its a walkie talkie. Kind of a communication radio," he explained but I said nothing.

"okay,beautiful. Its time to go," he stated my eyes bulged. I didn't want to leave,this was my home. I just couldn't go so I fought him. I tried to set my self free but it was futile.

"You're hard headed little princess,ain't ya," he chuckled throwing me over his broad shoulder

"No! Put me down." I shrieked but this only seemed to amuse him.

All the girls were assembled in the grand hall. Most of them crying to be released. My eyes searched the crowd,I hadn't seen Elssie since Thomas brought me here. Many dark thoughts started to train in my mind

"Okay people,let's get these beauties outta here," a man clamoured. The grand doors were opened revealing the outside of the Abby.

Wait,they were taking us out?

We were led out of the hall I to the cold night. I had never been outside the confinement of the Abby except when we were in the garden but out of those huge gates was a miracle. I glanced out into the night,the fresh breeze of new air hit my face and I couldn't help the sigh that escaped me until we came to a halt.

Huge trucks parked in front of us and the men started to fill them with the girls. Then is when I set my eyes on Elssie as she was lifted onto a truck.

"Elssie," I whispered unable to even shout out her name. I felt guilty for just running away and leaving her behind although she told me to do so. Her white dress was stained with red  allover the back,even her white socks were stained.

When she turned to sit,I saw the front part of her dress. It was torn revealing her small round breasts and realisation hit me....

They used her....those animals...used her...

My fists balled up and the anger rushed through my body. I stared at her the moon light exposing the tears on her pale face. I didn't even notice when I was carried onto the truck because my attention was fixed on her.

The trucks were closed and bolted tightly to prevent any attempt of escape. I slide on my haunches burying my face on my laps. I could hear the whimpers of the other girls but I shut their voices out of my head and thought about only one person.

My...best friend who I bailed out on. I regretted my move then. I wish I had stayed with her...

"Its gonna be okay,Tammy," Elsbeth's roommate comforted me. I hid my face in her chest and cried. It was all my fault

"Its all my fault,Dait."I cried

" No,its not. You didn't call those ungodly men to come kidnap us,did you?" She looked at me

"No,not that. I mean about Elssie,"

"Shhh,that's not your fault either." she hugged me

The truck vibrated when the engine started and we were all shaken out of position when the truck screeched on the street. This was my very first time in a car and I was terrified.
