not to touch anything else in their possession, as are their orders. If you do, I cannot save you from whatever punishment they decide is proper. Is that clear?” The girls all nodded. “Good. Elijah will be down any moment. Until he arrives, I will allow my girls to take rest before their journey.” Leander gave a slight bow before he turned and left the room, his coattails swishing behind him.
    The girls remained quiet until they were sure that Leander had left. A petite girl named Abigayle with dark blonde hair and deep blue eyes spoke first, her airy voice crackling slightly. “What do you think these men will want us to do?” she asked, her voice tight. She began to wring her hands together nervously, her lithe fingers pressing against and running over one another in haste.
    Leah, a plump girl with fine black hair and dull Cambridge blue eyes, shrugged, twirling a loose section of hair around a single stubby digit, the thin, broken nail catching on a strand. “I haven’t the slightest,” the girl commented. She coughed lightly, her heavy bosom bouncing in her corset. Gia narrowed her eyes as she looked at the girl, unsure of why she was one of the women that Leander had wanted to serve to his wealthier cliental. She was nothing special, and her over-stuffed corset strained the dress. However, she was one of the top requests, so there had to be something about her that made so many men desire her. Gia mentally shrugged before moving her eyes to the wall.
    After a moment of listening to Leah and Abigayle giggle and laugh at one another, Gia turned to face Hester. The blonde struggled  not to laugh, failing miserably when Gia contorted her body and pretended to be a dragon, her shoulders arched back to mimic wings. Breathy giggles filled the room as Hester couldn’t hold back any longer. Gia quickly broke down as well, her own giggles echoing off the walls as they increased in volume.
    As Gia stopped laughing, Elijah made his way into the room, shaking his head at the raucous of the five girls’ chattering and laughter. The man was the most lenient of Leander’s followers, and he was always nice to the girls whenever he happened across one of the them, be it while they were working, or when he was sent to their room during the day. His presence, however, was enough to make the girls sober up. They got into a line, curtsying one by one as Elijah nodded at and greeted each girl individually. “Good evening, ladies,” Elijah said, jerking his head to flip his light brown curls away from his eyes.
    “Good evening, Elijah,” the girls said in unison.
    Elijah smiled at them, standing back against the doorway and holding the door open, his arm extended out towards the hallway. “Shall we?”
    The girls followed the arm, walking one by one into the dim hallway, the light from the candles lining the wall just barely casting a glow on the dusty, rotting floor that led to the stairwell that would take the girls to the outside world. Leah went first, the rest of the girls following behind her in a line, with Elijah at the tail end. The trap door was open, so once the girls had reached the final set of stairs, they found themselves back in the woods.
    Gia shivered as gooseflesh erupted over her neck and upper chest, the chilled air hitting any area of exposed flesh. At least the sky is pretty tonight, Gia thought to herself as she turned her face upwards, taking in the full moon and bright stars. There was not a cloud in sight, and the brunette found herself able to see hundreds of glowing spots in the sky. Her favorite stars were the ones that gathered in groupings of three or more, as it reminded her of a story that her mother had told her once when she was a young child. Amelia had said that every time a star appears in the sky, it is the spirit of a good person who passed away. Gia had always imagined that these groupings were made up of good spirits, who were enjoying a social gathering in Heaven. She hoped to be
