X Country.
Somewhere in the northern country, in the wild forest. There was smoke fog with rain, and it makes the world look chaotic. The thunder struck the sky loudly, everywhere was quiet without any kind of sound expect the sound of the rain.
There are footsteps of men running toward a certain place and there a small car van stops at the abandon old cabins. A bulk man with a scar on his forehead came out of a cabin and went to open the small car van, when he saw what inside, he closed the door.
"Take to the smaller cabin and guard him closely."
" Yes! Sir!"
The bulk man walked away. The men carried a burlap sandbag to a smaller cabin and threw the sandbag to the hardwood floor and left with the door closed.
On the nearby cabin, inside there are three girls lay unconscious on the hardwood floor. The other two girls had not awakened yet but there one lay near the wood wall frowning her brows as if she was in a nightmare. She had cold sweat on her forehead and her mouth mumbling.
Wei Zhen awakens with her eyes open sharply and scans her surrounding area. She seems in daze with all the familiar places.
" Is she supposed to die after falling off the cliff? Why..."
Her thoughts turn and she closes her eyes to make sure it is not an illusion. It seems to be in a long nightmare dream, but it feels too real for every torture and pain. The pain is still vivid in her bones and memories. Then she saw the other two women unconscious and remembered that this scene seemed similar.
"She returns to her first life?!" She thought loudly in her mind.
She looks at her fair white hands. She gasped.
" It hasn't chop off yet!"
Wei Zhen's thought draft to the memory that she didn't want to remember. During her third year of college, she went on a summer trip and got abducted to a wild forest.
She was helpless as she was just an orphan. Nobody will care to search for her and as day goes by, the human traffic sells them to people and she doesn't even know what happened to the other two girls. She got sold to human traffic and became a slave to a rich old man and almost got rape but she disfigures her face so the old man will not be lusting after her.
Wei Zhen still remembers the pain of abuse and the torture; it makes her shiver. It looks like she is reborn like those novels that she read. She tried to move her body, but her body felt heavy with no strength. It looks like she got drug with knock out drug.
She took a rest as the drug still took effect on her body. After a long rest, the rain outside is pouring heavily and it is dark inside the cabin with only a dim light outside the cabin door.
Her eyes seem to get used to the night and could see around inside the cabin. There was nothing inside except a few bed sheets, a bed and a small lamp table.
Wei Zhen got up and walked to check outside through the small window but it too dark to see anything other than the thunder struck. She could see the trees then she went to check the handle lock and tried to unlock it, but it seemed that it was locked from outside.
She needs to find something to break the window that is the only way out, she doesn't want to go through like her previous life. She needs to get out of place. She went to wake the other two girl up.
"Hey, hey, wake up. Wake up. You can't sleep anymore."
"Hmm…" Both of the girls are waking up.
The girl A woke up with a dizzy head and the girl B mumbled and slowly opens her eyes.
"Hmm… what...happen?" They look confused.
Wei Zhen saw that they both awake then explained their situation.
"We got abducted and got drugs, so we are unconscious here. Do you guys feel okay?"
Girl A nodded, even though she scares but she less fear after checking her body with all the clothes still attached to her body.
"I'm okay. Just feeling a little dizzy."
Girl B nodded too but obvious with the fear in her eyes.
"Me too, it's just that I feel like vomiting."
Wei Zhen felt relief. She need not ask who the girl is as now she does not have time.
"Sigh. That's good. We need to get out of here before they sell us to human traffic."
Both girls gasp and with fear in their eyes. They never encounter something like this. Wei Zhen saw the fear and helplessness in their eyes like her too but at least she awakened early and this time she will change her fate.
"Don't worry, I will help us to get away from here."
Both women nodded their heads as they trusted Wei Zhen for their only life hope now.
Wei Zhen went to the door and looked through the gap of the door. She could see a little bit through outside and saw all the other cabins with light on each door.
She only saw the other two cabins, which means there are only three cabins in this forest. She saw two men stand guard at one of the cabins, kinda far from theirs. It seems like there is someone over there at that cabin. She doesn't know what time it is now but as the dark night sky it should be passing dinner time already.
Wei Zhen thought that if they need to escape, they will need to break the window using the table, but she doesn't know if the sound will alarm the kidnapper or not.
"The rain has long stopped already so how are they going to escape without alarming them?"
Then she thought that the only good time is when the night gets deeper, they will lower their guard and sleep so that might be the best time to escape, and the rain…
Yes! She remembered that in her first life, it rained for almost a week. It is best if they wait till late in the night to escape. Wei Zhen told the other two girls to rest and gain their energy so later they could run.
**
The nights are darker with the dark sky without anything stars and moon. It was very late, and the heavy rain started pouring again and you could hear every sound of the raindrops.
Wei Zhen opened her eyes and went to look to make sure everything outside was clear then she came to wake the two girls up. After everything was explained, she took the small lamp table and crashed the window glass and break it.
She went out first and looked around to make sure there was no one around and help the other two girls out of the window.
The heavy rain is still pouring, and it is hard to hear when whispering. Wei Zhen glanced at the two girls. It seems like both girls carried their backpack too. Wei Zhen also carried her backpack just in case anything happened.
"Remember, run up north and you will see there is a small camping site with patrol officers so go call for help and ask some police to come check this place. It seems like there may be some people here too."
Girl A glanced at Wei Zhen intensely. She not someone that throwed other away.
"Then what about you?"
Girl B was curious too and glanced at Wei Zhen. Wei Zhen sighs.
"I have to help the other people who got kidnapped too so you guys go ask for help first."
Girl A saw the firm look on Wei Zhen's face, so she didn't persuade anymore.
"Then be careful. I will ask for help and come with the police."
Wei Zhen felt a weird feeling in her heart that someone is worrying about her.
"Don't worry. I will be alright. So go, we don't have much time left."
The two girls ran away to the other side of the forest and Wei Zhen went around to the back of the cabin and saw that there was no one guarding the far cabin, so she picked up a big turtle rock and smashed the lock on the door. She went inside and saw a sandbag and no other thing.
It seems like they didn't even open the sandbag and thought.
"Does that person still breathe or is already dead?"
Wei Zhen hesitated to open the sandbag then she heard a groan from inside. She untied the sandbag open and saw that it was a man. He seems to have gotten drugs and is still unconscious. She tried to wake the unknown man up.
"Hey… Wake up…"
The unknown man still drowsy then Wei Zhen saw he slowly awakened, and she went to untie the rope on his hand. Now she was not in the mood to look at the unknown man's face, so she didn't see the beauty.
Wei Zhen is very close to the man, even the breath, they both could feel and smell each other. She saw that the unknown man still had his eyes closed and frowned.
"Are you okay? We need to get out of this place soon."
Fu Yichen felt his head was heavy and his eyes were in pain. He felt the unknown woman be very close to his body and her every breath he could smell, it the scent of lavender.
His voice is hoarse as he just awakens. The drowses slowly go away, but his strength is still weak.
"I couldn't see it. My eyes are in pain."
Wei Zhen could see that the unknown man's eyes were tightly closed so it could be poisonous. She doesn't know what to do right as time doesn't wait for them, so she tears off her white t-shirt and uses that to wrap around his eyes.
"It seems like your eyes got poisoned so I will wrap your eyes so don't open your eyes."
Wei Zhen didn't wait for the unknown man to answer and pull him up.
"We need to go before they find out that I'm in here."
Fu Yichen's lip tight as he stood there still without moving. Wei Zhen saw that he didn't move at all. She felt tired and helpless as time was running out.
"Let's go. We don't have much time left and I'm not a bad person or else I wouldn't come rescue you."
Wei Zhen thought the unknown man fear that she is a bad person so she explains.
Fu Yichen did not mean to question her identity but because he felt weak plus his eyes could not see too.
Wei Zhen doesn't know Fu Yichen's thought. She held the unknown man's hand and pulls him along. She opens the door and looks out to make sure everything is clear then she drags the unknown man downhill to the other side of the forest.
