She was struggling with the tightness of the rope that has been tied on her body and on her hands as well. She's not the only one who has been captive. They were seated back to back with each other in the center of that room.
The other guy whispered something to the young girl. It was about the man on the other side, one of their captors who were standing a little distance from them, watching their every move. The young girl knew him, she thought she was a friend and it's a mistake. He betrayed them.
She wanted to escape from them and they're devising a plan together with the guy next to her.
Time passed by, then nightfall came, their captors were not aware of anything that the girl was slowly reaching the knots and loosing the rope around her. Until, she had successfully loosened up everything.
She found a hole on the floor, and started to go down unto it but then someone noticed her.
She had no time anymore to check with the other captives. So, without any ado, she slid down through the hole and found herself outside the house above the ground.
Without turning back, she ran fast away from that place without looking back.
Men were chasing her, everywhere. Until she came to a small, narrow area with flowing water, it looked like a small river. It was a stream, and there were still kids swimming in it despite of the time of the day, it's already dusk.
She swam unto the stream to go across near the tall grasses. However, the children were slowly getting closer to her, so she tried to disturb the mud below her, hiding herself to the murky water and covered herself with white thing she found there.
Then she heard her captors were fastly approaching to the other side of the stream. She held her breath under water and tried not to make any movement. But then the other kid got a flashlight and he flashed it towards her location. That kid felt that there's something moving and he has no idea what it is. But he found nothing, he couldn't see it due to the murky water.
One of the captors asked them if they saw a young girl and they answered, "No!"
Few minutes passed they, they all went away. At last the girl seized that moment to come out and though catching her breath, coughing hard she ran away from there.
She ran towards the other side of the mountain, opposite to her captors. And she saw that one of her captors was a man in uniform, he looked like a police. That man in uniform walk to the other side, a slightly elevated place from her.
She headed to an unknown road and she saw an old woman holding her little grand daughter.
There she hurried her steps towards them and upon reaching them, she greeted the old woman and whispered something to her.
She tried hard to lined up her body to the old woman in order to keep herself from the captors that were on the other side of the mountain. She went to the right side of the woman and whispered,
"Grandma, can I go with you? Kindly help me please. I have no place to go, to sleep tonight and I have no companions with me and I don't know anyone here around this place."
She hasn't mentioned anything about her captivity or those chasing men across them. Her time was so short to explain anything, and she's afraid it will cause them panic too, that may prevent them to help her.
The old woman never questioned her anymore, she seemed relaxed and just nodded.
She was amazed how kind that old woman was.
Then, they came at last to the old woman's house. The old woman brought her granddaughter to upstairs without realizing that the young girl went straight hurriedly to their backyard.
The young girl saw that a man in uniform slowly found a way to reach that house too. She heard his voice, so she ran straight to the backyard and hide herself below the floor of the house, since the house has floor raised on the house-posts typical to the wooden houses in the farm.
She heard the conversation of the man and the old woman.
The man in uniform asked the old woman, "Have you seen a young girl? She was being chased because she did something illegal. She was a criminal."
The girl was shocked. She's afraid that the old woman might listen and believed him.
But she was surprised, the old woman's voice was so calm and the tone of her voice was implying that the grandma understood her dilemma at that time. And seemed she knew something, and has the idea where she was hiding at that moment.
The old woman denied that she saw anyone, and the captor couldn't insist anymore.
Then, I woke up from that very long dream.
Wondering what was that dream about.
