Progressing on, I soon start to hear some crying very close by. I try to ignore it in order to focus on my predicament but it grew louder and louder. I then decided that I had to see what it was. I trace the direction of the crying into an alleyway.

Coming real close in its vicinity, I noticed a pile of boxes. I quickly toss them aside to discover the source...

It was a young girl...she was chained to the wall next to her and her arms and legs were also in shackles. Though she had a child-like look in her facial features, she definitely was around my age. She had long blonde hair, blue eyes and to be honest, a nice appearance. But she was bruised and beaten fairly and was covered in tatters.

That was when I realized, she must've been a slave to someone around here. Why she was locked out in the alleyways was beyond me however. I try to approach her but she quickly move back against the wall, covering her hands over her face. Understandably, she appeared to be very scared, completely vulnerable and helpless to protect herself.

"Please...don't hurt me..." she whimpered.

It was then that I started to feel a little angry. Although I was completely unaware of her situation, I felt sympathetic enough to help her. I looked around for something I could use to free her of her restraints and I spotted a spare brick, bashing it repeatedly over her chains. The chains were strong but so was my determination. The girl was shocked yet worried.

"No, please...!" she gasps "You'll get in trouble!"

Despite those possible consequences, I didn't care. However...
