They walked passed the eating area and up a set of stairs to a massive line of beds, "Pick one and it's yours." Babette said, "You don't have to worry about any one stealing from you.."
"I meant..." Babett stopped and made a face, "More when you actually get things to call your own...we're a family here, we care about each other, so if you bring home things that you like, you can trust no one will take it.."
She didn’t look very hopeful, but then again, no one was exactly cheerful in the Dark Brotherhood.
Amaya would do runs as requested, making purchases in town, discarding evidence, making letter drops. They were all better jobs suited for her, since she didn’t grow tired as easily, or cold or hungry.
Amaya carried a large bundle on her back, things needed in the sanctuary she was sent out to buy. She had wrapped herself in warm clothes, even if she didn’t really need them, if only to fit in.
As she left Falkreath and rounded the road to reach the Sanctuary, she was grabbed and had a bag forced over her head before she was dragged off into a cart.
Amaya quickly fell silent, grunting when she was tossed into the back of a wagon, bumping into someone else inside. She was too scared to try and pull the hood off, trying to scramble into a safe corner.
It was a very, very long ride by the time they stopped. She was dragged out of the cart and forced to walk, to where she didn't know for sure. She didn't know much outside Falkreath nor did she remember much of her old Hold before she died.
Amaya was practically hyperventilating as they were led somewhere she couldn’t see, hearing at least three others with her. She had ropes around her wrists, being led along quickly and quietly to her knew fate.
She looked around at her surroundings, fear building in her chest as she saw what was in the room with them. Torture devices, dozens and dozens of them; walls lined with whips and clubs and irons, cages and chains. Her face was splotched with grey, which she herself had dismissed as bruising, even though it didn’t hurt.
"This is all of them?" A voice asked, followed by the gentle clicking of a cane. A sickly man came in, putting all his weight on his walking device as he looked over everyone in the line.
Amaya knew exactly what situation she was in, she was being sold off as a slave again, just when she had escaped it, she was back to being a slave. She looked down at the floor, keeping her head down and her mouth shut.
Amaya felt her blood run cold, staring down at the ground between their two feet. Why did he have to stop in front of her? Why did he even have to notice her? She opened her mouth to speak, only to close it again quickly.
