<div style="text-align: justify;">Elizabeth waited anxiously for Hans to return. She needed to know what they would do to her. It didn't sound like whatever it was would be nice. But still, she had to know. Maybe she could convince them not to hurt her.<br/><br/>So, while Hans talked to the cook, Elizabeth pace back and forth, and when the ship started rocking she sat back down and waited for the boy to return.<br/><br/>When the boy called her name, Elizabeth looked up at him. Her little face was curious and somewhat hopeful at the same time. She bit her lower lip before saying anything. "Did you?", her voice trembled just a little. "Did he say anything about what they will do to me?"<br/><br/>The girl stood up again, even though she didn't feel like doing so. "Will they put me to work on the ship?", she asked curiously. They wouldn't have gotten her just to hide her in a storage room. That made no sense. They had to want her for something. Some chore, or anything that would make her useful.</div>
