Chapter 174: PLAYERS(4)
Ruby was tending to the campfire while looking at the old factory building behind her with complex eyes. Neither her nor her sisters know what their mistress Alpha’s thoughts are. Why did she bring them here?
After saving them from that brothel that day, their new life began… Ruby touched her forearm, where a tattoo of a strange faint symbol was drawn on their first night…
Mistress Alpha had told them that the tattoo meant that they would die if they betrayed her… Ruby didn’t know if she could believe that, but mistress Alpha can get very scary when she gets angry.
Other than the mistress's random outbursts, life on the base was not that bad, they could eat their fill, wash and have some fun… But the training was true hell. They were made to run for half an hour every morning, then train with wooden swords and Spears after that. In the afternoon, they were expected to study reading, writing, and arithmetic… At night they studied music, art, and dancing… It was like a university camp on steroids… For the last two days, they have been teaching them about first aid and dealing with snakes though...
The teachers were some experts who were kidnapped by their mistress…At first, they were annoyed but after knowing how much the Mistress would pay them Their smiles reached their ears.… They could only leave after finishing their course and Alpha approving of the results, so those guys were very professional and strict.
Ruby didn’t hate it… She always loved to learn when she was in the orphanage… Before those bastards sold her… But this lifestyle was taking a toll on her body… She began to notice some black lines under her eyes… Her sisters were the same.
This morning, while they were doing their morning exercise, their mistress returned to the base with two buses, she made them board them and then brought them here without an explanation…
Was she going to be sold again? Probably not… As they were made to wear these strange clothes and long boots… Are they going to explore some jungle?
Robin eyed the bald men guarding the factory. They were not wearing anything like that. They probably were not coming with them… That made her feel a little relieved as those men looked similar to the gangsters who bought them from the orphanage that day… Although those guys were very friendly and polite to them, it made her a little uncomfortable. As they called them “The young master’s girls”… Was he the same young master mistress Margret mentioned that day? The one that Mistress Alpha would punish them if they asked about?
She sighed… What is this place anyway…
Looking around she noticed that there was a lot of construction work being done around here… A lot of pits were being dug and a lot of cement bags were stacked to the side… But there were no workers… were they on vacation today?
There were other girls here too… Dressed in black and wearing masks with demon faces, those girls felt dangerous… So she and her sisters didn’t dare to approach them.
It was half an hour later when Mistress Alpha returned with a few more girls and a young man who had a black eye… Was he the fabled young master? He didn’t seem impressive at all.
“Listen all of you…. This is Archie, he would be our guest No… He is the young master’s new pet. Treat him like a punching bag if he asks any unnecessary questions.” She said, making the young man shiver and involuntarily touch his blackened eye.
Ruby suppressed her giggle, Her mistress was as violent as ever. She looked at the pretty girls who walked with the Alpha… Ah, mistress Margret was with them too.… In addition to her, There were some pretty twin girls… Is that the actress Mira or does she just look like her? And that is…
“ROBIN!” Ruby yelled as she saw a familiar face, who looked at her back with astonishment. Making Alpha look at her with a frown.
“Ruby!” Robin smiled broadly as she ran to Ruby and hugged her tightly… They knew each other from the orphanage for about two months and were together when they were sold to that gang. As the youngest girls around of similar ages, they became sisters… Then that evil fat man Baron came and took Robin away… She thought she was dead… Or worse...
“Theta… Do you know her?” Alpha asked.
“Yes, she is like a sister to me… Can I have her?” Theta asked in a cheerful tone. As if she was asking for a kitten… Ruby didn’t mind.
“You will have to ask the young master… But I don’t mind.” Alpha said with a sigh as she eyed her a bit then looked at the girls gathering around.
“Robin, How have you been?” Ruby whispered as she got near Theta,
“Call me Theta… I have been fine. The young master saved my life, and now I work for him.” She said proudly.
“The young master… I haven't met him yet.” She said while wondering why her best friend changed her name… It sounded mysterious…
“Too bad he is not with us today… He is the coolest person in the world!” Theta said with stars in her eyes. Ruby shook her head. How can a man be good, they were all evil perverts.
“Sister… Do you know why we are here?” Ruby asked suddenly.
“Yes… Don’t worry, if you follow big sister Alpha’s commands, you will survive.” Theta said, sending a shiver in Ruby’s back. Survive? Survive what?
“Listen up everyone,” Alpha shouted as the girls stood around her… that guy Archie was there too.
“You have been training for the last Two weeks for this day…. Your training is barely enough, but we only have this window… so you better listen closely and be careful… Each one of you will be given a bag, it contains food, a sleeping bag, and many necessities to survive.” She said as a few bald men started moving around them, giving them a bulky camping bag… Theta didn’t get one…
“We are going to explore a cave that has Poisonous snakes,” Alpha added making the girls involuntary yelp. “Whoever backs down will be killed by me.” She added softly, making them shut up.
“You have been training in the use of weapons, so you can defend yourself… Each one of you would get a spear and a dagger….” She said as the bald men proceeded to give them the weapons… Still, Theta got none.
“One more thing, strange things will happen in the cave, so if you find yourself overwhelmed, hide and wait. In no more than 3 days you will be able to leave naturally... And if you get useful skills try experimenting with them... And if you killed some snake and it dropped a GEM, you may collect it. I will give you rewards based on how many you got after exiting... But don't risk your lives for that.” She warned… What did she mean by skills? GEMs? No one dared to ask.
“Now let’s get moving.” She said, making the girls head to the bus.
Ruby sighed as she sat in her seat… She was really nervous now.
“Don’t worry. As long as you survive for three days, your life will change for the better. Believe me.” Theta who sat beside her said with a smile.
“I doubt that…” Ruby said softly…. As she looked around at her nervous sisters… That guy chose to sit next to the girl that looked like Mira…
“Is that Mira the actress?” She asked Robin… Theta.
“Yes, she is the young master’s maid. I was surprised too when I met her a few days ago.” Theta said… “I should probably get her autograph.” She added.
Ruby looked back at Mira to find out that the occupant of the seat next to her had changed to Mistress Margret… That guy Archie was holding his crotch while shivering on the floor. He had the look of someone regretting his life's decisions.
"What are skills?" She asked.
"Oh... You will get those once you are inside... Just be cool with it... You will not be dreaming..." Theta said mysteriously, revealing nothing more.
The bus started soon and drove them across a mountainous road then stopped after a while as it could not go up any longer. They had to walk in the woods for another half an hour to reach a valley that looked magnificent in the sunset.
They quickly noticed a rope ladder going down into a safety net of many layers that were stretched below the valley’s face.
“The cave is below… Come with me.” Alpha said making the girls go one by one…
When Ruby reached the net, she stood on it with some difficulty and looked around… There was no cave, just a big boulder that had many beautiful flowers poking from its sides.
It took everyone another 15 minutes to get ready. The net was amazing, it could withstand the weight of everyone without even stretching a bit.
“Now… All of you. Once inside, you will be stuck for three days at least… In your bag, there is a mushroom. Take it out and eat it.” Alpha commanded, making the girls quickly find it and eat it then regret it…
“If any of you spit it I will shove it down your ass. This thing will relieve your hunger for some time, if you get hungry inside eat another... And don't eat any random sh*t that you find inside, it might be poisonous.” Alpha threatened, making the girls swallow the mushroom with difficulty… Ruby could see that Archie was struggling too… Theta didn't, she just took out a piece of candy and ate it after the mushroom, then offered one to Ruby who gladly put it in her mouth. This thing tasted like Sh*t… No sh*t tasted a little better. Don’t ask why she knew.
“Ok… Now, Everyone, There is a snake repellent spray in your bag, quickly spray each other.” Alpha commanded… The girls complied. Not daring to slack off.
“Next… make sure you hold your bag tight… And if you spot snakes and get bit, don't panic. Just run away and take the antidote in the bag… And if you find a big door or a big entrance inside, don’t enter it if you don’t wish to die, just wait beside it…. I hope we all survive.” She said,
“I will leave the outside protection to you,” Alpha told two bald men who were helping around.
“Don’t worry, Mistress.” One of them said as they began to climb up while giving the girls some envious looks.
“Theta… The young master ordered that we should strike at this together.” Alpha said, making Theta hold the large pickaxe with her.
“Get ready… We will be sucked in. Be ready to become PLAYERS.” Alpha warned as she approached the balder with Theta and struck it with the pickaxe… The world turned blue.
