Warren, now 21, was still a slave. The tunnel was completed and all the elderly slaves escaped and Warren decided to stay behind to help newer slaves. The Trader knew a guy who could get the collars off and had the escapees pretend to be his slaves while they traveled from island to island until the collars came off.

"Look." A slave, Wade, said. "Another slave to replace Randall."

Wade was pointing to the gates that kept the slaves at the barracks. The Master's men were dragging a struggling young man. The men threw the man into the mud and quickly let while Warren and the other slaves circled around the newcomer to help him up. Once he was up Warren got a good look at him. He was taller than her, lean, and very strong, his hair shadowed his eyes and mud covered caked his hair, hiding its color. Warren shooed the surrounding slaves back to their lounging and went up to the newcomer. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the back of the barracks where the snails couldn't see them.

"Undress." She told him.

"What?! Why?!" The newcomer exclaimed, not understanding her.

"I need to check for a brand or marks." She told him.

"I don't have any brands or marks." He told her, "I was just grabbed off the streets a while ago and forced into these rags."

Warren gave him a nod.

"I see." She said, "Then you are not a local."

The newcomer shook his head.

"I'm a pirate and my Captain will come searching for me as soon as I don't check in by the end of the day." He told her.

"He won't know where to look." Warren told him, "But I know someone who can get a message out to him."

The newcomer looked shocked and skeptical.

"Why are you so eager to help me?" He asked.

"Because no one deserves a slave's life." She told him and pulled his wrist again.

Warren let the newcomer to Nate, a veteran slave that helps with newcomers.

"Nate I need you to watch..." she started before turning to the newcomer, "What's your name?"

"Penguin." He said.

"Penguin. While I go talk to him" Warren said.

Mike nodded and leads Penguin to the barracks to show him where he would be sleeping while he stays here. Warren left with the rotating shift and went to the edge of the compound, when the men weren't looking, where there was a small hole in the wall that leads to the person she needed to talk to, Snake. Snake made the hole because he wanted to steal the goods that the land offered but found he could be much safer and helpful if he ran messages around the island, for a price of course. The hole was hidden by thick vines that needed to be pushed out of the way.

"Snake, you in?" Warren called thru the hole. A moment later a hairy face appeared.

"Ah, if it isn't the little money maker." Snake mocked with his slicked mustache. "What can I do ya for, Laddie?"

"Stop with the mocking, Snake." Warren told him.

"Easy, Lassie. Snake said putting his hands up. "Just have a bit of fun, now what do you need?"

"I need to know what pirate ships are docked at the harbor right now." She told him.

"Dealing with pirates cost extra, Lassie" Snake told her.

"I know." She said and pulled out a small hidden bag of gems and crystals from under her ragged shirt. "I'll give you a bit more if you find the crew with a missing member by the end of tomorrow."

Snake put on a very bad mockery of a thinking face.

"Deal." He said grabbing the stones the slave had pulled out. "I'll meet you here at noon tomorrow."

Warren gave him a nod and headed to mining duty in the frozen lands. When she got back to the barracks she grabbed Penguin and pulled to the back of the building again.

You're with me tomorrow in the morning." She told him, "My guy is going to see how many ships are in the harbor and hopefully find your crew if they start looking for you."

Penguin gave her a nod and they returned to the front of camp. During their 'dinner' Warren sat near the younger slaves in case the men tried to pull something like they always do. A man 'tripped' over a younger girl's leg and spilled his food on the ground. Warren acted quickly and swapped places with the girl so she would be the one seen and punished. She was grabbed and led to Painful's room where tradition starts all over again with the nudeness and lashings. She screamed as Painful lashed her, this time his spiked whip had a substance that causes the cuts to burn every time she moved. Painful skipped the salt bath when he was done and just threw her outside into the mud with her clothes landing next to her. The other slave women immediately block the view of her from the men and dragged her to the barracks where her wounds were cleaned and dressed. She stepped out half an hour later with her clothes on and when to the hidden areas under the barracks and pulled out a freshly killed deer that was hunted on the way back. She let the slaves who were hunters back at their homes skin and gut the animal and gave the meat to the slaves who could cook and put the skin in a different place to be given to Trader. Warren passed out the now cooked meat to the slaves and took the last piece and gave it to Penguin. When it was lights out Warren made sure everyone when to their proper Barracks before heading in herself. Her body ached all over, whatever was on the whip had worn off, or she was just used to pain by now, and she was going to feel the lashes in the morning. When morning came around Warren got up and went outside, her body was very sore. She was always the first one up and she started doing motif routines and cooked the other deer for breakfast. Once everyone was fed and the men came to start moving people where they need to be for the day until rotation. Warren grabbed Penguin and went to the mining group with the two nice men, Chad and Brad.

"Shit it's cold." Penguin said as they crossed into the frozen land. "I wish I had my suit."

Warren stopped walking, making Penguin stop as well, and handed her small pouch to a fellow slave.

"Fill it up." She told them. "You come with me."

She dragged Penguin to the top of the mountain and went to the fall side of it so they can see the harbor where many ships were docked, not that she can see them well.

"Do you see your ship?" She asked Penguin. "I need to know in case my guy couldn't locate your crew."

She could see the blur of the person with mud still caked in his hair look at the water.

"Yes! It's right there, the big yellow one!" He told her pointing at the yellow blob she could just make out.

"Alright." She said, "Now we need to head back to the others and do some of the jobs."

She lead Penguin to the cave where they were handed mining tools. Penguin was in awe with the amount of glitters he could see, but that's also when he noticed that the slaves were just barely collecting them.

"Why are we only mining a little?" He asked.

"Because Master has never come here so this is all ours." She told him. "We are give this to our escapers and outside men so they can live good lives once they get free."

"And the guards?" He asked as he picked up a ruby. "Don't they report everything to this Master guy?"

Warren shook her head.

"Chad and Brad come from North Blue so they been put in charge of us while we're in here, since it's so cold." She told him. "They don't like the fact people are slaves and took this job so they can help us as best they can, they won't let it slip."

Warren picked up a decent size crystal and put it in one of the baskets.

"You said escaped slaves." Penguin said, "Does that mean there is a way to get out?"

Warren pulled a topaz out of the wall.

"Yes, but we can't go thru it right now because our escort isn't back and we can only do few slaves at a time." She told him.

Penguin gave a nod.

"Ren is almost noon." Chad yelled from down the cave. "You better hurry."

Warren gave him a nod and handed Penguin off to another slave before she ran out of the cave to the spring area. Once at the vine-covered wall she moved the correct vines and Snake was there waiting.

"How nice of you to meet me here, Lassie." The slick man greeted. There were five pirate crew docked here yesterday two have left since now. I could not locate the one looking for a crew member."

Warren nodded and pulled out a decent sized diamond.

"Yellow ship." Warren told him. "Make it seem like he needs to kill Master in order to get Penguin back."

Warren pulled out two bags.

These are for you to pay him to kill Master. I'll gather the other who want to fight, the rest will meet you at Trader's place." Warren said.

Snake nodded.

"When we are gone you and Trader can have the cave as payment." she told him. "Tomorrow is when we will act."

Warren replaced the vines and met up with the rotation. She went around telling people to prepare for the plan. She had just finished telling Penguin the plan when to men came and grabbed her. Knowing where she was going she struggled, it was the only time she ever struggled against the men. She was dragged to the Master's quarters and she was tied to the bed and her clothes ripped off. The Master came in a dismissed his men, Warren kept moving and struggling when he drew closer. The Master grabbed one of her legs and started climbing onto the bed. Warren saw this as her chance to kick him in the jewels. When he recovered he dragged me himself to Painful and told the whip Master he could have me all night long. When day broke over the horizon, Warren was thrown back into the barracks area where the woman laid there. This happens at least twice a month. Warren stood up and made her way to the women barracks where she pulled on new rags. She woke up Galicia who was a nurse before she became a slave and together they clean the wounds as best they could, and wrapped the massive lashes and gashes. Warren laid down for a moment before she stood up and went outside. They had two hours before the men came, Chad and Brad where going to meet us at the cave with keys since they are the only men who know where it's located. The slaves started moving out as Warren and some male slaves stayed to fight back with their makeshift weapons, which were strong sticks with metal on the ends. Penguin walked up to Warren.

"I want to fight as well." He demanded and most of the slaves left.

Warren gave him a smirk.

"Never said you couldn't." She told him.

The men came and the slaves jumped them. Warren slashed her rugged and dull spear across the chest of one of the men. Penguin used hand to hand combat skills to knock out men. Warren picked up some of the whips and tossed them to others as their sticks broke. Warren picked up a whip for herself and lashed men across the face, tearing their clothes and making them retreat. One of the men pulled out a gun that was connected to a tank, it was a flamethrower. The man was young and weak. The sound of cannon fire was heard as everything around us was set ablaze. Warren ordered most of the fighting slaves to get to the cave as smoke blocked their vision. Penguin didn't move.

"Penguin you go to." Warren told him.

"No, I'll stay and fight." He told her and kicked the flamethrower guy in the face, knocking him out, and stopping the fire from being spread more. The yellow blob Warren saw had blast there the wall and men in white boilers jumped to action. To Warren, they look like white blobs attacking the dark green blobs that were the Master's men. Warren picked up another whip and used it to take down more men. Once she was done she headed to where the Master would be, Penguin right behind her. She broke down the door and lashed the whip out to stop the Master's hand as he pulled out a gun.

"You're not going to kill me." The Master said. "And even if you all escape I'll just get more slaves."

The man she saw before her a hysterical, not believing he did something to cause this.

"He might not kill you." A deep voice said. "But I wouldn't have any qualms about it."

The voice belong to a moving yellow blob.

"Room. Shambles."

A suddenly flash a blue, a sparkle, and a moment of a flighty feeling later, Warren and Penguin's chains fell to the ground and the Master laid dead with his head on the ground.

You can't do this to me!" The Master head yelled, making Warren jump.

Warren crouched to get a better look at the head. There was no blood but his head wasn't connected to his body.

"Interesting." She muttered.

"You, slave." The Master yelled at her, "I order you to kill this man and fix me."

Warren didn't move, her muscles felt light without the chain. She picked up the Master head, grabbed his flailing body and kick both pieces out the window. The Master landed with a small 'splat'.

"Penguin, Captain sir." Warren spoke, turning to the two men. "If you can wait for me by the harbor with your ship I shall have another payment for you."

Before they could speak she jumped out the window, carefully climbing down the side of the building and made her way to the cave. She ran through the fire that had already burnt its way to the gates of the mansion and made it to the icy terrain of the frozen lands. She slipped into the cave and grabbed the biggest gems and crystals she could find, she also moved the chain outside and set them off to cover the first entrance, the only way in now was the tunnel. She grabbed her bag of glitters and headed out, all slaves were safe and free. She entered traders home and watched as slaves changing into clothes and put makeup on their brands and slave marks. She didn't change and said her goodbyes and headed for the harbor. She looked around, not being familiar with the town, and found the harbor easily. Then she ran to the giant yellow blob where she saw Penguin and the Yellow blob of a Captain he had.

"This should cover the cost of the ammunition, medical supplies, anything else you used or need to stock up on..."

Warren didn't finish as her back flared up in pain and she blackout.
