"Take the fucking hood off!" Verde snapped. The young woman stood, her hooded face staring at Verde, and finally she pulled it off.
It was the economics student, all right, but there was something very different about her; something not at all half-hearted and wishy-washy, but calm, cold and determined. Her grey eyes, which had semed watery, were now very cool, and stared at Verde.
"Let me put it this way," she said in her oddly compelling, flat voice. "Come with me if you want to do more than just not die."

Wow this is depressing
There should be a sub-genre just called depressing where I could put all these types of stories. I know you've said that this is an escape story, but I seriously wonder whether you really needed all these terrible events to show us that her life sucks right now. It just feels a tad excessive in this chapter. Now I feel like I need to go watch/read something funny so I'm not depressed for the rest of the day.more...
Wow
The continuing build up is amazing. Thanks
