THE STREETS.
"Please, stay away from me!" She cried, tears streaming down her face, realizing she had fallen into the clutches of dangerous individuals.
The shadow continued to move around, forcing her to constantly turn, trying to keep up with its movements.
Suddenly, the terrifying creature emerged fully. Jade muttered in a hushed, fearful voice, "Oh my goodness... what is this thing?" She slowly began to step backwards.
To her surprise, it wasn't a human this time, but actually an animal. However, this didn't bring her any comfort, as it was a wild animal and ready to devour her without mercy.
The animal's face was incredibly scary, with black fur, green eyes, and a body covered in fur.
"Huuuh," the animal roared, taking steps closer to her, blood dripping from its mouth, evidence that it had already consumed many others before her.
Jade continued to breathe heavily out of fear, slowly backing away. Eventually, she turned and began to run, with the wild animal hot on her heels.
Just as she was running for her life, she encountered a group of men armed with swords. Seeing them, she realized they must be pursuing the animal. She picked up her pace, hoping to reach them.
However, the animal was already closing in, clearly faster than her.
The animal caught up with her and attempted to pounce, but the men had already reached her, swords extended. She slid down, and the beast landed on their swords, piercing its neck.
Before Jade could turn to look again, she saw the head of the animal rotating on the ground.
The men, who had been focused on the beast, finally halted and dismounted from their horses. They approached the head of the creature.
They were still deeply engrossed in examining the beast, completely forgetting about Jade's presence.
"Look, no wonder it was able to crush Mark's head like a stone," one of the men murmured as they gathered around the head, while Jade stood by, watching.
Robert, the leader of the group, approached the head, picked it up, and examined its teeth. He then used his sword to strike it, and it made a sound resembling iron striking against iron.
"Hmm, it's incredibly strong. Perhaps we could make use of it somehow?" Robert suggested, earning irritated looks from the others.
Just as Jade slowly began to rise from the ground and attempt to approach the men, she caught sight of a badge on their backs.
It was Lord Hat's badge, a clear indication that they were part of his army. Upon seeing this, Jade let out a heavy breath, sensing the lingering danger.
Being around these men meant that she was still in peril, as they were known as the most wicked army in the Darklands.
They were renowned for their fearlessness and deadliness, willing to face any challenge, even if it meant sacrificing their own lives. Fear was not an option for them but she don't know that they stole those uniform.
Realizing that they were preoccupied, Jade seized the opportunity to escape. She began to slowly move backwards, trying to distance herself from the men.
When she felt like she had managed to create enough distance. she turned to run away, but she discovered one of the men standing right in front of her, causing her to gulp nervously.
She tried to move backward, but the man forcefully pulled her closer to himself. "Where do you think you're going, girl?" he sneered, as Jade struggled to break free. However, the man tightened his grip around her neck.
"Guys! I've found a pretty little girl to join us for some fun tonight," he called out to the others, who began to approach.
"Please, let me go! I beg of you," Jade pleaded, as the man chuckled and attempted to kiss her. Filled with anger, she pushed him away and spat out in disgust. Yet, she found herself surrounded by the group of men.
"Don't come any closer! My mistress will have your heads if you dare touch me!" Jade shouted, her voice trembling. She looked defiantly at them, but they all laughed.
"Your mistress, you say? If she cares so much for you, then why are you out here all alone?" Robert questioned, stepping closer to Jade as she instinctively moved backwards in fear.
"I am the daughter of Mistress Amelia, and none of you is allowed to lay a hand on me if you value your lives," Jade yelled at him. However, Robert completely disregarded her statement.
"For you to be out here alone, it means you must be strong enough to protect yourself, or something must have gone wrong. Is that the case?" Robert asked, observing Jade as she continued to breathe heavily.
"I dare you not to touch me," Jade said, her voice deep and resolute. Her words caused Robert to exchange surprised glances with the others.
He was obviously wondering what gave her such and audacity to dare him.
"Really? alright guys have your dinner" Robert said and the other men began to approach her.
"No! get off me! alright am sorry! please stay away from me!" Jade shouted but her screams was falling on deaf ears as those men are eager to rape her.
"Alright wait!" Robert said immediately they were already trying to tear off her clothes and then Jade breathes out heavily.
"I think it will be good if we take her to our camp and use her as a fucking slave, any man who is ready to get his satisfaction will"
"Come on guys, we have been looking for this opportunity for long so we should not take it for granted, tie her up!" Robert orders.
"No! let me go!" Jade screamed as she tries to run away but they grabbed her hands and pushed her down and began to tie her up immediately.
"Please I beg of you to let me go and I will never step on your toes ever again!!" Jade pleads with tears brimming down from her eyes.

SANCTUARY X.
Frida was peacefully sleeping on the bed while Jack was awake, he was wearing only his shirt. 
He held a picture in his hand, the picture reminds him of their past when Frida was his girlfriend before marrying CX. 
Jack sat on the bed, lost in his thoughts as he gazed at the picture.
Frida woke up and noticed Jack's intense focus on something. Curiosity piqued, she approached him and saw what he was looking at then She rested her head on his shoulder.
"This picture must remind you of happier times, doesn't it, Jack?" Frida asked softly while Jack shook his head in response.
"No, it doesn't remind me of anything," Jack replied, and Frida took a deep breath.
"Then why are you staring at it like that?" she inquired, looking into his eyes.
"I was just thinking about how brave you are to keep this picture, knowing what would happen if CX ever discovered it," Jack admitted. Frida took the picture from his hand and set it aside.
"No, he will never find it. It's the last memento I have of us, and I will always keep it safe," Frida assured him, leaning in to kiss him once again.
"Frida, please stop," Jack said, gently pushing her mouth away from his.
"What do you mean, Jack? This might be our only chance to be together again, so we should make the most of it," Frida pleaded, her voice filled with desire.
"Frida, you must understand that I'm supposed to stay away from you before CX comes around. I can't risk our life, most especially your s," Jack responded, trying to make her see reason.
"Do you really think I'm foolish? I know exactly when he'll be back. Do you think I would put your life at risk? Come on, let's get back on the bed," she urged, kissing him once more. Jack couldn't resist her advances and pulled her closer, their kisses becoming passionate. They tumbled down onto the bed, with Frida ending up on top.
They were busy having a pressuring moment together when screaming voices began sounding outside but they were so much taken away that they couldn't hear it.
Till the door of their room cracks down as they separated with force as two heads rolls on their floor splashing blood along as Frida began breathing heavily.
