Woo! Again, this novel WILL BE FINISHED by September 30. I promise. I won't change the date at all. It may be done sooner than September 30th though. Well, here's the chapter:

Hope's POV

    Jim pulls me inside and locks the door behind us. He's smirking and looking at me oddly. Who as this guy? Why was I here? Did Rick just want to get rid of me?
    "Welcome to the House of Slaves." Jim says.

Leah's POV

    Todd and I sit on the couch. I'm going crazy.
    "We can't just sit and wait for those fat donut eating cops to find Hope." I say angrily. He runs his fingers through my hair.
    "We can't do anything Leah. I wish there was something that we could do, but there's not." I look at him with tears in my eyes.
    "How can you say that? How can you just give up?" I say.
    "Leah...it's just the truth. I hate admitting it, too. Please don't get angry about this.." I look at him and my mouth struck open.
    "Who ARE you?" I say angrily. He sighs.
    "Leah, what are you talking about?" He says softly. I got off the couch and stood.
    "Todd, what's happened to you? You always use to fight until the end. Now you're just giving up. Just like that." He looks at me.
    "There's nothing we can DO." He says sternly. I'm almost frightened by his tone. Something's wrong with him. What's he hiding?
    "Whatever you're hiding, I'm going to figure it out. I always do." I say fiercly, and leave the room.
    
Hope's POV

    My mouth gapes open as he says this. He laughs at me.
    "Well, we'll have Germa give you the tour." He says, still chuckling."Germa!!!" He yelled. Germa was an awfully weird name.
    Soon, a girl about seventeen comes in and curtesys'. She's pale and her eyes are empty.
    "Yes, master?" She says. Her voice is soft and pure. She looks plainly at Jim and doesn't pay one bit of attention to me.
    "Take this girl here and give her the tour. If you lose her, you will pay." He says, threateningly. Germa nods. Germa is absolutely beautiful. She has stunning blue eyes and this long, curly, dark brown hair. I have yet to see her smile, but I bet it would perfect. Her skin looks fragile. It's like she's made of porcelain.
    Jim leaves the room and Germa makes a sigh of relief. She walks up to me and smiles. She reaches out her hand.
    "Hi, I'm Renna, but you can call me Ren." This confused me. I thought her name was Germa? I take her hand.
    "I thought your name was Germa?" I say. She sighs.
    "Master makes new names for us." She replies simply.
    "Master? You mean Jim?" She shushes me and covers my mouth.
    "No. Don't call him by his real name. You will be punished severly." She whispers. She takes her hand off my mouth.
    "Punished?" She nods.
    "Yes. This is the House of Slaves. If you do anything wrong, you will be punished in whatever way they see necessary."
    "Okay...Who is They?"
    "The other men that control this house. You have to curtesy to all of them." That's when she grabbed my wrist and started to walk me down a long hallway. We stop at a door and Ren whispers to be quiet. I nod and then I start to hear screams. I almost cry out in fear, but Ren puts her hand over my mouth. The screams keep coming. They're girls screaming.
    Ren grabs my wrists and leads me back down the hall. As we continue, I can still hear the screams of the girl that's in pain.
