CHAPTER – 5
THE FREE BIRDS FLEE THE CAGE

The kidnappers were back on giving guard around the place they had camped in the forest. Since they had some magical equipment and alchemic solutions that repel most of the monsters. All they needed to do was in between making regular checks on the smuggled commodities ⸺ the abducted children.
A flicker of flames from the flambeau travels to inspect the last cage inhabited by Dia, Shae, and lastly Caige. The previous other abducted children behaved pretty well as they slept under the burden of fear and an empty stomach.
The kidnapper waves the torch around the cage but was only able to find two bodies lying on the floor covered in a dirty blanket. One of them was missing. But he could not see much from far away or who was who in the freezing darkness.
"Hey, where's another one of you?" The abductor asks.
