Marilla’s phone was confiscated, and she was “invited” into the car.

A cold sweat soaked her trembling back; her slender, fragile frame curled pathetically next to Hans, her hands clutching a teddy bear, shaking uncontrollably.

Facing unknown dangers, she did not cry, make a fuss, or beg Hans to let her go. She sat quietly like a pretty doll at the mercy of others, which only made it harder to bear the thought of causing her too much pain.

Before leaving the mansion, Hans casually grabbed a couple of apples. He took a bite from one and then offered the other to the girl.

Determination shimmered in Marilla’s eyes; the thought of saving Lily dispelled the crippling fear that felt like the sky was falling, “As long as Lily is safe, I won’t run. Even if it costs my life to exchange for Lily’s!”
