“Hands off the child!” I snarled viciously at the skinny man.
“Off the child?” His disgusting smirk twisted his face. “What child is she? She’s already old enough.” Bare his teeth, he reached for the pale girl, cowering fearfully against the wall. “I’ll take your daughter for your debts!” he told me. “You can consider us even!”
I came to in the body of a weak woman whose husband had died, leaving behind nothing but poverty, hungry children, and a mountain of debts. A new world? New rules? Doesn’t matter! First, I’ll save the little girl, and I’ll deal with everything else later!
