When Ivy finally woke up, she was lying in a cage, feeling broken. Her whole body was aching and her head felt like it was going to explode. Then, as she felt strangely cramped and battered, she suddenly realized that she was securely bound with rough ropes that were scratching painfully at her skin.
Despite her fatigue and the excruciating pain that had taken over her body, she tried to lift her head a little to see where she was this time and why she was in such a scary situation. Soon she realized that she was not the only one locked up in the dirty cage, tied up like simple animals. There were many of them, all women, and most of them were unconscious. Together, totally lost, even in spirit, they were trapped, locked in metal carts pulled by huge hairy beasts. Such frightening creatures, that even Ivy, who prided herself on being a brilliant student, could not suspect their existence.
- What could these disgusting creatures be...? she asked herself in a daze.
