The big day...yeah, night, but same thing. She never thought that she would work up the gumption to get out here and buy one... Christ. It sounded like she was shopping for cereal...what a sick business. The mere thought would make her frown, but she was unsure if she was to be considered hypocritical for even stepping out here. She couldn't really define what exactly compelled her to just walk out this late to come to the docks. But, she could defend the issue of hypocrisy in saying that she did not think of them as slaves and certainly wouldn't treat them like that. She wouldn't have grueling chores or anything of that sort. In fact, the only reason she wanted one was because the solitude was driving her insane and she wanted protection...It still bothered her at night. It was already enough that she had walked here by herself.
She stopped at the front of the docks, looking at the chained figures further down and the humans that lingered about, always at a safe distance. She seemed hesitant to move forward now, but the breeze seemed to push her gently, moving her silver hair about her face. Desiree swallowed hard and started to walk forward, her hands clasped in front of her. I can do this. I'm already here, so it should be no problem. But how will I pick just one? If I could, I'd let them all go to live better lives than this... She thought with a small frown, looking down at her feet.
