They dreamt of becoming engineers, doctors , fashion designers, teachers in future.
They led a happy life , content with the meagre means they had.
They were ambitious and wanted to do something for both their parents and the society.
They wanted to transform their countries.

Suddenly a nightmare happened , one was trafficked form her country , the other given as a 'charity' by her parents , the other forcefully abducted since she was black and another taken at gunpoint in front of her wailing family.

For days newspapers and TV channels in their countries kept publishing their photos but no one came to rescue them. For days they stayed as the hot topic for every other TV debate but no one came to rescue them. Many questioned their upbringing , called them names , said they went out of their own will and would never come back. The conservative leaders banished them from the society , some even from the country as they apparantly weren't 'pure' anymore but no one came for their rescue.

They stayed in dungeons , were forced to carry guns , kill people , do all the chores , please their masters, carry babies for them so they could increase their line.

Some were courageous and rebelled even after repeated tortures , some were brave enough to escape form their clutches , while the others who didn't have any proper place to return to as well as no-one to return for preferred staying there quietly as the tortures inflicted upon them were far less than the ones their own people has given them .

Days turned into weeks , weeks into months but no one came for their rescue.
Their previously red scars had started to fade , their children had started to grow, they didn't want the same fate for their children but had no other option , since no one came.

Then one day war happened , the men they were married with were slained. Even some of their kids who had joined their fathers also suffered a same fate. Their entire colonies were attacked. They were detained.

Questions were asked about their roles in the war , nasty things were asked. Some who were lucky enough were put behind bars , the unlucky ones were deported back to their countries ,where their own families denied them. These unlucky ones were hated by everyone and banished from Everywhere.

The hands which wanted to hold stethoscopes and chalks were forced to beg and pleed their innocence.

The wings that were born to fly and conquer the world were chained by fate to become slaves.
They didn't want that , they didn't ask for it ,it wasn't them who did it ,it was God who punished them for their sins in previous life.

But the society continued to tarnish their names and called them characterless. But they never knew these that these were slaves..... forced slaves..... forced slaves of a war they never wanted.
