Episode 1
“Move” the guard shouts at the girls. The girls were in a straight line returning to their cells,
dejection was written all over their faces. A girl standing behind Hazel shoves her, “ you're the
bad luck among us, you have been here for eighteen years and you haven't found someone to
buy you” the girl was about to hit Hazel when Selena shouts “ touch her and you won't be alive
to witness the next auction”. The girl moves back in fear.
Selena moves and stands directly behind Hazel. They move to their cells and the guard
locks the cell door “ you filthy humans should sleep and not cause any trouble tonight or I won't
be merciful” the guard says and walks away.
“T - Thanks for the other time” Hazel stammers while looking at Selena with tears
brimming in her eyes, “you're welcome” Selena replies. “Why do you allow yourself to be bullied
so much”? Selena asks Hazel.
“They are right anyway, I am bad luck” Hazel replies with tears streaming down her face.
“No, they are not, you're the sweetest little thing here” Selena replies. “By the way how did
you get in here”? Selena asks.
“I don't know, the chief guard said I was found at the gate of the slave house when I was
a baby”. Hazel replies.
“That's sad, I was drugged by my stepmother and sold to this place” Selena says with her
eyes gleaming with hatred.
“I just wish someone would buy me one day” Hazel said with longing in her eyes.
“ We would get out of here one day,” Selena assures her. “I hope” Hazel replies.
They remain in silence and Hazel quickly falls asleep while listening to the calm rhythm of
Selena's heart beat. Selena continues to stare at the ceiling unable to fall asleep.
“Get your filthy asses up it's morning,” Charles the guard shouts while hitting his rod
against the walls of the cells. This startles Hazel awake, “you're finally up” Selena says.
“Good morning Selena, you've been up for a while”? Hazel asks
“I couldn't sleep, so have been up for a while, morning Hazel.
Hazel smiles while stretching, Selena stares at her and realizes that the little girl was very
beautiful, with long black hair sitting on her little head, purple eyes that seems to glow whenever
she was excited like she was now, luscious full lips and a cute button nose, she makes anyone
willing to protect her with her innocent naive looks.
“ Why are you excited this morning”? Selena asks her. “Today is my nineteen birthday and
am happy to be alive even if am stuck in this place” Hazel replies with a small smile while using
her hands to indicate she was talking about the cell.
“Oh, happy birthday Hazel” Selena says with a small smile of her own. “I don't understand
though how do you know your birthday”? Selena asks with confusion on her face.
“The chief said today makes it nineteen years have been brought to the slave house, so I
decided to make today my birthday too”. Hazel explains with a sad smile.
“ Oh by the way t-” whatever Selena was saying got interrupt by Charles.
“I give you thirty to freshen your filthy bodies and meet me at the backyard, anyone who's
late wouldn't have breakfast”. Charles said with disgust on his face as he threatens the girls.
The girls all rush out of their cells to freshen up. They couldn't afford to miss breakfast because they didn't know when they would be having the next meal.
The girls were eating their breakfast when a tall girl walks to Hazel's table and pours water in
her soup, “ this is for making your bad luck rub on all of us” she says with a smirk on her face.
Hazel gasps and starts fidgeting and looking at her fingers nervously.
Selena glared at the girl and pushes her head into the bowl of soup, everyone in the
backyard gasps in shock. “I already told everyone to leave her alone where you deaf? If anyone
disturbs Hazel or harms a hair on her head, you wouldn't know what hit you”. Selena threatens
while looking around the backyard to make sure they all knew she meant every word she said.
“Are you okay?” Selena asks Hazel.
“Am fine” Hazel replies while looking at Selena with admiration. Selena pushes her plate
towards Hazel “stop staring at me and eat before Charles comes, or will you like to eat me
instead?” Selena asks teasingly.
Hazel blushes and continues to eat.
“That's enough playing around, do I have to tell you before you all go and do the chores
assigned to you!!!?” Charles yells as soon as he appears in backyard.
The girls all rush out of the backyard to do their chores, no one wanted to get hit with
Charles' rod.
Hazel was assigned to wash the toilets while Selena was on dish washing duty, so they had
to go their separate ways. Selena bids Hazel a quick goodbye and heads to the kitchen.
Hazel was scrubbing the tiles in the toilet when the tall girl appears again.
“Where is your protector now,huh?” the girl says while approaching Hazel with a evil glint in
her eyes. Hazel out of fear keeps stepping backwards till her back hits the wall behind her.
“Don't you find yourself pathetic? You've been here all your life and yet nobody wants you,
you ended up here because your parents didn't want you and you're going to die here because
nobody still wants you”
Tears were streaming down Hazel's face. The girl scoffs and rolls her eyes “why don't you
just die? You will be doing us all a favor if you did. Do you know how disgusted we all feel when
we see you?” She says while shoving Hazel's shoulder hard.
“Do you know why your eyeballs are purple? Because you're cursed!!!” The girl yells. “You
can stay here and think of ways to end that pathetic life of yours” The girl says while walking out
of the toilet and clicking the lock in place.
Hazel runs to the door and starts hitting the door with tears streaming down her face “h- help
m- me p- please don't do this to me” she cries while hitting the door.
After hitting the door for what felt like a long time and getting no help, Hazel slides down on
the floor with her head in her laps, everything the girl said started echoing in her head and she
holds her head as if to stop it “n-no n-o I am not cursed noooo!!!”.
Hazel was still sitting on the floor when she hears people shouting in the distance, her eyes
widens in fear when she hears them screaming “fire!! fire!!! fire!!!!, the kitchen is on fire!!!!!!!”.
