No

Ashley, and Theodore spent hours searching the web looking for any possibility of getting her out of the situation.

"There's no use Theo! Tomorrow I'm going to become a ****." Ashley exclaimed.

"I'm sorry Ash, but it looks that way." Theodore touched her shoulder, trying to comfort her.

"I better go home now, its getting late, and I want to spent the remainder of my freedom with my family."

"I understand, take care Ash. I will keep looking, maybe I will find something by tomorrow."

Ashley packed up her things, and left for home. The short walk hom felt like ages, her mind spiralling with thoughts of how Bruce would enslave her, what he would make her do, just because she defended her friend. From her, and Theodore's research, they had found that while it was true that you could not simply claim anyone as ****, the odds seemed unreasonably stacked against the woman. She began to wonder how it would have been if female enslavement had not become legal. To live a long life without the looming threat of being enslaved. Ashley would have given anything for the comfort granted to her ancestors, who merely had to deal with pay gaps, and the occasional harrassment. She could feel the anger roaring inside her. Anger at how society allowed this systematic degredation of women, and anger that there was apparent that she could do nothing to stop it

Arriving home Ashely took a deep breath before opening the door. Throwing her backpack on the floor in the foyer she went into the kitchen where she figured her mom would be, already cleaning up after dinner.

"Hello dear. We figures you would eat out since you didn't call to say you were coming late. There's leftovers in the fridge if you are hungry." Ashley's mother said chippery.

Food was the last thing on Ashley's mind right now. I'm going to be a **** tomorrow. Instead thinking to much about it she started to help her mother cleaning up, and the two of them soon finished up whereafter they joined her father in the livingroom where he was watching the sports rap up in today's news. Ashley sat down on the green couch beside the armchair her father was sitting in. Maybe I should tell them what happened today, they're going to find out one way or another.
