Her wrists burned constantly and her hair was a tangle of burs, leaves, and twigs. The feet that were so unused to walking felt like they were about to fall off. They rarely got food and never enough rest before they were off again walking at an unbearable pace. She missed home. Missed all the people she knew. would she ever see them again? Or would she die out here in the wilderness? Her thoughts drifted too often and she found herself lagging behind, which caused her to have the bonds tightened even more. How would she ever get through this?
