Scarlet woke up with an aching in her head. It was dark where she was, and it smelled foul, like sweat. She looked around and noticed she was surrounded by bodies, girls. She almost panicked until the one nearest her moved and she noticed a lot of them where breathing.. The girl slowly rose and looked around, jumping a little when she saw her. The girl was of Asian decent. The two looked at one another for a moment, "Hello." Scarlet said and the girl frowned a bit. " Hello." She said, her accent was strong, but Scarlet couldn't figure out where it was from. "Do you know where we are?" She asked tentatively.
The girl shook her head. "Where were you last?" Scarlet pressed and the girl frowned. "Seoul."
"Korea?" The girl nodded. Scarlet sighed. She was likely in Korea now, and she realized she was being trafficked. "What's your name?"
"Ae-Jin The girl said and Scarlet gave her a meek smile. "Scarlet."
"What is happening, Scarlet?" The girl and Scarlet frowned. "I think...I think we're being trafficked." She told her, there was no point in lying now anyway. The girl started to sob just as a door opened and light flooded in. Scarlet clapped a hand over Ae-Jin's mouth, and the girl clung to her, they ducked down, pretending to be unconscious, though Ae-Jin was shaking hard. Two large men entered the room. They looked around, and spotted the two of them. Scarlet stiffened, she wasn't going to let Ae-Jin go. They approached them and Scarlet stood, her head swimming some, as she stood protectively over Ae-Jin the girl clung to Scarlet's leg.
They looked at Ae-Jin for a moment, and Scarlet's mind went to Svetlana, and Scarlet nearly growled.
They're eyes turned on her and she realized then that she was their target. She grabbed her, smacking Ae-Jin when she wouldn't let go, Scarlet fought as well, but slyly took another button from her coat and tossing it near Ae-Jin's unconscious body. One of them grabbed her by the neck and squeezed hard, she choked as her vision blurred, Ae-Jin was waking up, their eyes met and Scarlet's eyes went to the button beside her, Ae-Jin seemed to understand and took the button slyly before Scarlet dropped unconscious.
