Capitalizing on the other guards smoking respite, Nicole swiftly retreated to the original modest hut.
Unlocking the door from outside, Nicoles presence instilled such fear in those within that they trembled at the mere sound of its opening. Even as Nicole stood before them, they remained frozen in place, too terrified to move.
In a hushed tone, Nicole inquired, Would you like to leave with me?
Silence enveloped the hut. Every occupant remained paralyzed by fear or bound by silence.
Nicole asked again, Do you desire to depart? Should I embark on a quest for aid, the journey will be protracted, and the risk of discovery elevated. Theres no assurance of my return. However, if we depart collectively, safety is uncertain, yet I pledge to safeguard each of you to the best of my ability!

Following Nicoles impassioned plea, a trembling hand rose, belonging to a very young girl. Miss, I will join you
Soon after, a cascade of voices emerged from the shadows.
Count me in!
Im with you!
Include me as well!
Nicole quieted them with a gesture and instructed, Proceed quietly. Everyone crawls at the pickup truck. Pair up and heed my signals closely. If my index finger is raised, its safe to advance to the vehicle. If not, maintain stillness. Is that clear?
Each person nodded in agreement, prompting Nicole to gesture with her finger. Two girls darted out quietly.
With a subtle motion, Nicole signaled for two more girls to follow the suit.
They proceeded cautiously and deliberately until all the abducted girls had entered the vehicle. Without prompting, they arranged themselves flat on the floor, huddling together to minimize their visibility.
Nicole meticulously drped a tarpaulin over the girls. Their slender figures clustered together, rendering it difficult to discern the true number of occupants within the car.
After securely fastening the tarpaulin, Nicole moved to the drivers seat and initiated the ignition.
Suddenly, a menacing firearm pressed against Nicoles temple.

Hey! The guard stationed at the door had discovered Nicole and inquired with suspicion, What are you doing?
Speaking Ambrosia with an accent, this guard likely hailed from a place outside of Ambrosia.
Nicoles back was soaked with sweat as she urgently gestured with her hands, indicating that she needed to retrieve something from the car for the person in the adjacent room.
Though the guard couldnt comprehend her words, he grasped the gist of her gestures. Using the gun, he struck Nicoles head and commanded, Gol
His directive was clear. He meant for Nicole to proceed to the hut and confront the individual inside in an attempt to confirm the truth of her words.
Nicoles heart raced with fear. Within the hut, all that remained was the lifeless body of the man and the stains of blood. Entering would undoubtedly lead to her swift discovery and the guard might not hesitate to pull the trigger within moments.
Reluctantly, Nicole began her approach toward the hut. However, before departing, she deliberately dropped the keys onto the soft ground, ensuring they made no noise upon impact.
