She awoke with a gasp as the sound of screams could be heard from another room. Her body still hurt, but not enough to where it would hinder her movements. Leaving the room she could hear the painful screams of one getting beaten, which put a big smile on her face as she realized that it was the sole survivor from the attack yesterday. She truly wished she could have stayed and at least watched, but time was of the essence here.

Looking for the room, the young woman followed the sounds of pain till she upon the room being used. Noticing the screams had gotten quiet she went in, only to find a brutally beaten young man. Clutching his shirt collar she pulled him in close. "Lucky for you I'm feeling generous as I'm going to allow you to draw me a map to where they are keeping the girls that have been taken" she instructed, motioning for someone to bring her something to write with and something to write on.

"Make sure you spare no detail, as it will determine how long you remain alive." she said as she glared at him. "Secondly you are going to give me your written confession about your involvement in this crime. And finally, you are going to turn yourself in and atone for what you have done." she said as she helped him to his feet, and urged him to get writing.

An hour later she had a map, a crude one but it was easy to understand, outlining the guard detail, how many there were, how armed they were, and the shipment dates. She had six more days before the next shipment would leave, which allowed her to breathe a little. Looking over just what she was up against, she knew she was going to need help. There was a cave by the lake within Loregard territory being facilitated for a temporary holding spot. Having all she needed she made her way to the door when the trafficker begged her not to leave him with the group, who were still rather angry. She didnt need to see them to feel the hate that warmed the room.

With a sigh, she took him by the collar and escorted him out of the room. Analine happened to come by, rope in hand and proceeded to tie him up. "So whats next, where do we go from here?" she asked, looking to Rhea, the Iulide handing her the map and details she had been given.

"We have six days before they move the girls out of the country, which means we need to hit them as soon as possible and save those women. The good thing is that they aren't all that well equipped or trained, but it doesn't mean we should be careless. I....I" she began but somehow began to breakdown.

Tears began to flow down her face as she wept into her hands. "I dont know what came over me yesterday. I'm not that vindictive and brutal person. I'm not a monster." she sobbed, falling to her knees, Analine coming to comfort her. "You a monster? As if that was ever the case. It was a dire situation and your emotions got the better of you, it happens. It doesn't make you a monster." Analine comforted, squeezing her friend in a hugging embrace, wiping her tears from her face.
