EuropeNovelShe'd caught the eye of sdangerous men. One afternoon, walking hfrom school along a lonely back
road, she barely had tto react-a shadow darted out from the tangled bushes. Rough hands clamped over her
mouth, cutting off her scream. Her eyes went wide with panic as she struggled and kicked, but she didn't stand a
chance. He dragged her away, out of sight, all the way to an abandoned warehouse on the edge of town.
Inside, she found herself in a nightmare. Teenagers, boys and girls, trapped together—each one enduring horrors
no one should ever face. Fear gripped her like a vice. On her first day, she hadn't been through their
"inspection," so she was spared the worst of it, at least for the moment. But pain is pain, and humiliation cuts
deep.
Her ribs were stomped until she heard something crack. She was forced to strip, her dignity crushed alongside
her body. The pain was almost unbearable, but the shwas worse. And it didn't end there-she watched as
other kids were abused by thugs in slick suits, their cruelty on full display. It was too much. She broke down
completely, her face drained of color, her mind blank with terror.
Then, just when it seemed hope was gone, Nathan burst in with the police. They were saved.
But after two days locked in that warehouse-after seeing so much horror-she couldn't shake the trauma.
Nightmares haunted her every night.
Nathan apologized again and again, his voice thick with guilt. "I'm sorry, sis. This is all my fault. If it weren't for
me, you wouldn't have been there. I'll make it up to you, | swear."
He didn't really understand.

For a year, Nathalie and Nathan leaned on each other, the only family they had left. Nathan's patience and quiet
care gently soothed her pain. In return,
Nathalie's hard work, sharp mind, and quiet courage built a little world for them to call home.
Life threw plenty at them-poverty, hunger, the sneers of narrow-minded people, the sharp tongue of an
unforgiving mother. But after what they'd survived, none of it seemed quite so hard.
Memories pricked at Nathalie's heart-tiny needles, each one sharp and fresh. The worst of those days felt like
they'd happened only yesterday.
She looked at Nathan and, for the first time, truly saw the calm in his eyes. It wasn't peace. It was the emptiness
that follows despair so deep, you stop feeling anything at all.
No wonder he could let go so easily.
No matter how far Nathan had come, the old wounds from that warehouse had never really healed.
Suddenly, Nathalie dropped to the ground, sobbing for Nathan and the pain he'd carried all these years.
"Nathalie."
Nathan gently set aside the mirror that showed their shared past and walked over. "Don't be sad. For me, this is
finally freedom."
She gazed at him-he seemed to glow,
somehow fading at the edges. She
