Lori didn't make it far though as men from the cult caught her, because of her reduced muscle mass, from being unconscious for several months. Once she was subdued they took her to a building near the large log wall and stripped her naked. Lori was tied to a chair in a dimly lit cellar,
"Lori, why did you try to leave the safety of our community? And what demented you to put on pants? Do you wish to be a man?" the demanding voice said.
"What? No, I don't want to be a man! I wanted to wear pants. That doesn't make any sense!" She answered angrily.
"Pants are for men, not for a lady such as yourself . You have pretty dresses and skirts, pants are for men." He explained.
The former military captain was angered by RoseHill and it's strictly old fashioned ideals. The man leaned closely and said,
"If you disagree with our beliefs and decisions, then you will be cast out or our fold." He said sinisterly and held a knife to her neck.
She realized that unless she wanted to die, she would have to play their game, even if it meant giving up some of her dignity and submitting to the town's outdated rules.
"Now, what is your decision my dear?" He asked.
Lori looked up at him and begrudgingly accept his "offer",
"O-okay. I'll stay and...behave." She said trying to calm her nerves.
He looked at her for a few minutes and said,
"Excellent! Now if you're going to stay here you'll need a new name, Lori is an outsider name...ah! How about Lorabell yes that will do" he exclaimed.
Lori, now Lorabell, was untied and given a new dress to wear, she reluctantly put it on and was led back into town.
