In a small desert villiage, a young woman was carrying her usual bucket of water from the stream. As she was walking back a group of men dressed in black rode into the town They shot the men as they tried to protect their women and children. She screamed as one of the men rode towards her. The man said "My, my, look what we have here?" A few of the men around her rode over and circled around her. She looked for an exit but she was blocked in. The men jumped off their horses and advanced towards her. She ran at them surprising them. She was able to get through them, out of the circle but only got a few feet before one grabbed her waist and pulled her down. She scrambled again and thrashed around under him. He said "You are very pleasing to the eyes." One of the other men said "Let us each have a turn with her!" The man pinning her down pulled her up and pushed her at the men. They pushed her around for a few minutes, each saying things that would cause any untried maid to blush. She said "Let go of me. Please let me go." The men laughed and then there came a loud shout "What are you doing to that woman, I told you to take them unharmed! They will go for more money if they are untouched." The woman was dumped onto the ground and she looked up. The man that had shouted the comment stood above herm she said "What are you doing to do to me?" The man said "I am going to see you to the highest bidder. You will do whatever they say." The woman gasped and the man pulled her up, tied her hand behind her and man handdled her into a wagon full of men, women and children.

A few hours later she was pulled out of the wagon and roughly shoved onto a platform. A few men stood around there, looking her up and down. She looked ath them and saw some of them looking at her with an emotion she had never seen before. The slave seller said "We will start the bidding at 10 thousang gold." She gasped at the price. The men looked at her again and then they started the bidding again. Half an hour later the price was up to 100 thousand gold pieces. A few of them said "That is too much." And walked away. She looked at the slave seller and he said "Man, you have the highest bid. Come forward and give us the gold and I will let you have the girl right away." The man came forward and paid the man. The seller shoved her towards the man and said "She is all yours." Then he started the bidding of another girl. The young woman and her new master walked to a waiting carriage and started to ride through the city.

(This is not the end just a short part of the story.)
