Wow it definitely seems like she's overwhelmed at the prospect of her being free, though I wonder just how free she'll be if she's basically a slave lol. >.<

Though honestly it would seem like she would be really taking in the countryside since she hadn't had the chance to see the real world in some time because of her imprionment, so I find it kind of strange that she'd fall asleep lol.

Yikes, she's being traded for goods?! Woooooww that took a dark turn quickly. I wonder how she figured that the man would do that.

I'm most intrigued what a betwill is.

Wow that chapter was surprisingly short! I'm not sure what to think of it moving the story forward but I think she's certainly found herself in a strange, and perhaps favorable, predicament? No idea ha.

She actually hasn't had much sleep in years. The feel of the sunbaked glass on her skin and the sound of the wind's gentle whirring outside the window has her so engulfed that she reaches a point where she's actually comfortable enough to fall asleep. Aeva knows that "freedom" isn't actually "free." She'll have to pay in one form or another, but for now... in this moment... sleep is paramount.

Yes, she has been traded for contraband. But--read on to see to whom she has been bequeathed ;)

Betwill has many uses, both good and bad. It will come up again, more or less. It's likened unto medicine. And just like medicine, it can be abused.

Lol, I'm working on putting together Chapter 4. I haven't had much time to formally write it. But, I've scribbled pieces here and there. I can't say how long it will be, but it will be what it will be.
Thank you so much for returning to my work! Feel free to browse my other pieces!
