As I make it out of the lagoon, something harshly tugs at my hair and causes me to fall on the damp forest floor. My eyes dare look up to see a large henchman of Vaas' with my hair in a vice grip. I look at him pleading to let me go, but he does no such thing.

"Yeah, boss. I see why you like her so much. I've never seen anyone who looks like her." The vile man speaks in his thick accent.

"Isn't she such a pretty bird? I'm going to keep her in a cage as my exotic prize." Vaas declares as he tugs my arm up so that I can stand. With tears in my eyes, I muster up my hardest glare. He clicks his tongue and shakes his head.

"Oh, that won't do, Johara. Your looks, they hurt me! Even though you disobeyed me, I kept my part of the deal and your sister is on her way back to your homeland." A feeling of relief washes over me as I can rest assured that Khadeeja is off this island and away from these lunatics. I am painfully aware of my complete lack of clothing as Vaas straps me into a jeep and we leave the oasis behind.

"W-What is going to happen to me?" I ask quietly as Vaas drives down the road. He turns his head and something flashes in his eyes.

"Well, I have a specific way of dealing with those who defy me." He motions to a large pike in the road with a severed human head upon it. I feel bile rising up my throat as I move my head to the side. Vomit violently leaves my mouth as the seatbelt keeps me from falling out.

"But, don't worry, birdy! I wouldn't do something like that to you. You are too beautiful for that and I wouldn't maim you." He speaks while reassuringly patting my back. I flitch as his rough hands touch me. There is nothing left for me to say as we reach what I assume is the base camp. The large man ties my hands up tightly with a thick rope. Vaas gets out and shakes his head.

"Oh, man. We can't have you walking around her naked, can we? Oh, no. That would be waaaay too tempting to all the mongrels that I command! But, I don't know if we have any women's clothing. It is kind of a boy's club." He laughs. Suddenly, he snaps his finger as it appears he has an idea.

"We have your luggage somewhere around here. I'll have someone fetch it. But, you'll have to stay in my room so no one else can look at you." His fingers ghost over my skin and goose bumps begin to form.

"Maybe, I'll even have you play dress up for me…" He whispers in my ear and I shudder as he leads me back to his abode.
