章 72: Chapter 72

Shelly’s point of view;

I slowly opened my eyes and found myself lying on the floor. My head somehow aches. I was just about to get up but I couldn't. It was then that I realized that my hands and feet were tied up with ropes. I pushed myself up and leaned my back against the cold wall. I looked around but could barely see anything. It was dark and only the beam of the moon penetrating through the window served as my light from where I was.

I coughed and winced slightly at my dried throat. I need water. I gulped slowly but in vain. All of a sudden, I heard a door opening and closing after a while. I froze, trying to hear every single slight sound echoing around the square and then, it happened, footsteps.

Tap, tap, tap, tap

A figure was soon standing in front of me. Just two more steps and he'll reveal his face. I took a long deep breath and leaned back, burrowing my back in the wall, trying to get away but well, I couldn't.
