They packed up, I after the Jaffa released me went back toward the bushes I had previously hidden my bag in order to retrieve it. I heard a rustling sound, I knew that it was no animal.
"Who's there" I called out while drawing my dagger.
"The leaders would certainly reward the one who reported that the Borsa was not only speaking to the immoral visitors but talking to males who aren't her husband." The voice said mockingly, laughing at its fortune. The voice could only belong to one man.
"I've seen you break many laws Caden, enough to have you cleansed over and over, of course my offer does still stand, I'll forget everything, you have my word." The thought of his 'offer' still made me shudder, to become the wife of that man, to give up everything, be the perfect little Alterran wife, never speak, simply cook, clean and have many sons. I would never be that woman.
"I would rather be cleansed over and over than spend the rest of my life married to you" I called out, it was bold but the voice was right I had broken many laws already what were a few more. The voice came out grabbed my, tore off my veil and dragged me into the remnants of the camp. Throwing me on the ground he said
"Take her with you, because I am going back to The City to report this, and she will never be safe here again". With one final kick in my direction he left moving in the direction of the nearest City guard. The woman assisted me in standing and picked up my bag that I had managed to grab as I had been dragged into the camp.
"He is telling the truth, he will report this, I will never be safe here". I said making a silent plea.
Their leader nodded before saying "you'll come with us". With that we walked into the forest. Making it to the circle was difficult and when they were dialling the guards nearly caught up, but they managed to activate it producing the standing water for which the circle was named, and we walked through.
