"We went all this way, we may as well not leave empty handed" said the boss.
The man looming over Sarah, quickly gave her a quick prick with the sword to remind her who was in charge here before using it to cut off her gambeson and trousers and removing her shoes.
Sarah, expecting the worst, covered her * ahem * areas.
The boss laughed and said "we needed to check you weren't hiding any nasty surprises". "Put these on" he demanded, chucking some basic rags her way.
Sarah, not liking being all out complied quickly.
Suddenly, the brute who'd been holding the sword hit her, hard.
Sarah dropped onto her side in a daze.
Taking advantage, the man who hit her quickly bound her arms and legs and covered her eyes with blindfold.
She couldn't see anymore, but its hard to miss the sensation of being carried.
All her questions about her fate were quickly answered with the boss's voice claiming, "The markets will pay a pretty penny for a face like that".
She knew what that meant . . . slavery. Sarah wondered if she'd have been better off fighting and dying after all.
The daze seemed to get worse, and worse.
Sarah felt woozy . . .
The man carrying her felt her go limp in his arms.
Sarah had fainted.
