Hey, everyone. This is a new story I've just started on. This chapter is more centered on character development, so if you're looking for some quick action this story isn't for you. I'd like to apologize beforehand about my grammar. I love writing so much but I know at times I have "comma frenzy" and my grammar is just terrible in general. I'm truly sorry about that. I hope it's not too bad and you enjoy the story.

Today, work seemed more exhausting than usual to Asreyel. She was constantly running around taking orders from complaining customers. Also she had the wonderful privilege of having to deal with her managers snide remarks about everything she did. But this waitressing job paid the rent, so she had no room to complain.
For as long as she could remember she had always been jumping from place to place. Even growing up she was frequently moved from different orphanages to another, never truly having a place to call home.
When Asreyel turned 18, two years ago, she had set out to make a life for herself. But having no money for college she ended up finding a tiny apartment and two room mates to help split the rent.
Getting a job at Cams Restaurant wasn't too hard, considering the managers only hired women that they were attracted to. Apparently Asreyels unique looks fit their criteria. The only true benefit of working there was meeting Karena, who was her first room mate before later adding Aerial.
Karena helped Asreyel her first few days joining the crew and she later returned the favor to Aerial when she joined. They all looked out for each other and became close friends.
Cam, the owner of the restaurant, was always perverted but he was no pimp. Well, he never showed signs of being one until later. When Asreyel started working he rarely came to the restaurant but overtime showed up more often.
At first it just started off as waitressing but Cam later began demanding more of them. Including private dances and pleasuring him time to time whenever he came in. If they even thought about quitting he threatened to beat them or bring in his men. They all had their moments when they witnessed Cams brutal side first hand.
Asreyels time came when she once made the mistake of speaking out to one of his men resulting in a serious beating to the point she couldn't work for a week to make sure she didn't draw any attention from the customers.
Karena, on the other hand actually tried to catch a bus to her aunts in the next state over but Cam found her when she was waiting to switch to another bus. Asreyel and Aerial still don't know what he did to her, all they know is for days Karena was like a robot, doing exactly what she was told, no emotions involved. Eventually that streak broke though, she had finally got it in her mind that Cams Restaurant was where she was meant to be, as a slave to Cam.
One day, Cam and a group of his buddies came in after closing. All of them were huge and screamed danger, but the girls continued what they were supposed to do, hoping to leave before any of them became too drunk.
As they were finishing up cleaning their tables a couple of guys started making some crude remarks toward them. Now, each of them had their trademark personalities but out of all of them Aerials ability to ignore someone intentionally and still put a smile on her face was probably the most frustrating to Cam. Aerial was also the quietest of the bunch. Occasionally they'd get glimpses of a more outgoing Aerial but she always seemed to bottle her up before anyone could really see her. This made them wonder about her childhood and most importantly what was the cause of her ending up out here.
Aerial had her own way of speaking even if it wasn't from her mouth; her body language spoke for her. She had no problem hitting someone with a death glare if she saw fit and that was what most likely got her in trouble with Cam.
Karena never bottled herself up. After that night with Cam she simply found a way to stay neutral; she became an actor. She was willing to put a smile her face no matter the situation.
Whenever Cam and his buddies came over it was to teach someone a lesson. Asreyel had seen on more than one account those guys beat someone to a pulp. But that's not what they had in mind for Aerial that night.
Though Asreyel and Karena never slept with Cam they knew at some point it would come to that. They just hoped they'd be gone before that ever happened.
Aerial paid no mind to Cam. She'd simply ignore him and when he called her over she'd say she had to help a customer.
That night both Asreyel and Karena were forced to go home; without Aerial.
Aerial never came home that night and when Asreyel and Karena came into work the next day she was totally different. Physically she was the same but mentally she was gone.
Asreyel knew this couldn't have been the life intended for them. She made a promise to herself, that no matter what she had to do she would find a way out for her and her girls.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
For the past three weeks Cam hadn't shown up at the restaurant. He probably found some girl actually willing to fill his bed. But like every time, they'd end up leaving or he'd end up dropping them and come crawling back to his trash box restaurant.
Ever since that incident with Aerial, Asreyel had been saving up every penny she could find. But at that moment they all decided to enjoy the little piece of freedom they were given with Cams absence, gaining back some of their personality as well.
With work over for the day, Asreyel was just glad to enjoy being away from the chaos of the world while Aerial and Karena were out getting a few groceries. She went back to her room to change out of her work clothes. Not far from the house was a park with plenty of trails she loved to run on.
After changing into a casual tank top, workout pants, and some beat up running shoes she had, she walked into her tiny square kitchen to fill up a water bottle and write a quick note to Aerial and Karena before heading out to her junk yard car.
'Hopefully it will even start,' she thought to herself before sending up a silent prayer. Running had always been her way of escaping reality.
Luckily, the car did start and within 20 minutes she arrived at the park. Asreyel didn't bother locking the car, who in their right mind would steal it.
She took a quick swig of her water before leaving it in the car so she wouldn't have to deal with it as she ran.
Asreyel took off at a slow pace, considering she didn't have a warm up beforehand. She never had a set distance or time for how long she'd run, she'd simply stop when she felt like it.
