บท 23: The Dungeons. (Chapter 22)

"Go to hell." They stomp hard multiple times on my back knocking all life out of me. I spit seeing blood. They pick me up throw me back down. I grunt in extreme pain from the impact. They were relentless in the beatings. They drag me down 6 flights of stairs by my arms as I stumble in pain. Maids stop to look at my bloody face and newly bruised eye. They gasp in shock and horror as they drag me further deeper into the castle. People would stop and look as the guards beat me again just to show they have power over me. Dickheads. We go deeper into the darkness. We arrive at the dungeons, it reaked of blood and death, people screams filled the air as pain was the only emotion they were allowed to feel. There was hardly any light. One torch per cell and no windows to tell what time of day it was. It was going to be a long night as noone would know when the day was done and when it began. Once sentenced, you would never see the sun, never be slowed to breathe the fresh air and never walk free. Karina, where is she? All I could think about was her if I was to remain sane. They dragged me to the end cell and removed my shirt from my body. I was thrust in as I heard my body smack down on the floor. I was dizzy but the sound of the gate slam behind me echoed in my head. They guards were laughing as they left me shamed and alone. I could barely see anything. I had enough strength that I mustered the light forces and created a ball of white light. It was a little star that lit up my cell. I stood to examine where I was and if there was any hope for an escape route. The minging cell had one bed, no windows and a bucket in the corner. I now see the walls were painted in blood, black blood. Accompanied by frantic scratchings from previous prisoners. The floor was staring the mold and the air was of rotting flesh. But the sounds were what made me shiver. People screaming, begging , crying for mercy. The echoes of soldiers laughing rang through the dungeon. A woman shrieking for help was close to me. I looked across the most and saw a woman completely naked, curled into a ball as 3 men whipped her, laughing and mocking her. I couldn't ignore her shriek for help anymore.
