Remote mountain side camp was where she was kept

Large family, faith and felt sheltered
The sister then woke up while she was being taken
Went up the mountain and tried reasoning with her captor
He performed a marriage ceremony , then she soon realized what was about to come
She was then chained to trees, raped everyday, starved, deprived of water, forced her to drink and do drugs
Her captor was determined to go and take her cousin
July 24, he was intending to go and kidnap her cousin
One day he suddenly decided to unchain her and then take her down to the city for food and alcohol
Months passed and still no one realized where they were
One day her captors decided to take her to the library and figure out their next location to live as winter was coming
Soon the male captor had left the females without food and water and was fearing death was approaching
