Not long enough, she heard her mother scream so loudly. Her voice was weak yet loud. It had lost the chirpiness that usually accompanied it. It was filled with pain, agony. She covered her ears but she heard another earsplitting shout. This time, it was louder and filled with more pain than the previous one. She searched her room frantically for her spare key, then she remembered she had left it on her bedside table and, of course, her father had removed it when he came to her room earlier.
She rummaged through her hair frustratingly as she thought of what to do, then she picked up her credit card from the floor. She had seen it in movies but she decided to try it. She forced the card into the door and turned the knob. Much to her happiness, it clicked. She smiled at her success and headed downstairs in slow and quiet footsteps, peeping as she proceeded. What she saw drained her already--coloured drained face. She stopped on her track as she opened her mouth wide to scream, but no sound was forthcoming. She watched in horror as she watched the scene.
Her mother was tied with her hands backwards. Her lips were already bursted and her ever so pretty face was designed terribly. She looked exhausted and she shivered continuously as cold seeped into her body through the thin clothing that barely covered her skin.
Her father had his head bent and was on his knees. His hands were tied the same way as her mother. She wanted to see his face but regretted it as he raised his face, it was filled with cuts. Blood flowed freely from his face.
Tears flowed freely from her eyes as she watched her parents, her only family being tortured in the most inhumane way.
The man with the most monsterous look which she figured out to be the leader of this heartless group smiled devilishly as he ordered the closest of his demons to him and whispered something which she could not hear, but with the look her father had in, it was probably another torture. The demon smiled as he bowed to the devil and turned and whispered to another demon, who looked amused then went out of the house. The other demons laughed as they enjoyed the look on her father's face. He was already tired and looked like he could pass out any moment from now.
" Gashello! Don't you dare ruin the fun by dying too early". The devil said and snapped his fingers. Immediately, another demon poured a bucket of stinking liquid on her father and he shivered and tried to loosen himself making the devil and his counterpart laugh louder while her mother whimpered. Bella cried silently as the smell of the liquid got to her. It was urine! They f***ing threw a bucket of smelling urine at her father.
At that moment, the other demons who had left earlier came into the house and the laughter increased. Her father tried to plead but the devil cut him off with a deafening punch. Her mother tried to move towards her husband perhaps to comfort him, but another demon dragged her back like an animal to her position, making her moan in pain.
Then the devil took the case from the demon and opened it and that was her worst nightmare. He brought out what looked like a hot iron. Unimpressed by what he saw, he turned to the demon who had brought it.
" To how much degree did you hear this toy" .
" A thousand degree boss". The demon bowed. Her father's face was filled with horror, with her mother not less expression than his.
" Well done Cashmir, I might reward you". The devil smiled as his demons laughed loudly.
" Let's get this party started, shall we?". Her father pleaded with every part of his body but was cut short as the devil placed the hot iron on his bare chest and watched as his skin melted. Her father screamed in the most earsplitting sound she had ever heard, even in the movies, as blood flew like water from his body. She screamed but someone covered her mouth before any sound left her mouth.
" Don't or they will come for us ". It was her nanny Lane.
She whimpered as she watched her mother's pretty eyes ever filled with happiness and laughter go blank at the pain her husband was going through, as if the torture was not enough, her father's pinky finger was cut with a saw while her mother cried profusely.
She felt her nanny cry bitterly as she held her tight.
" You can't double cross the boss Frenando and expect to go unharmed, Gashello ", a man said.
She watched as her father was tied the same way as her mother. Her mother was then loosed. Just when she thought it was over, she saw the boss unhook his belt. Her mother was gang r***d while they taped her and made her father watch. Even when he tried closing his eyes, they made sure his eyes were wide open. They removed his eyelids .
When they were done, they stabbed her father repeatedly and did the same to her mom before they left.
She came out of her hideout but her parents were half dead.
" Baby don't cry, everything will be alright. Follow your nanny because they will come for you later and do whatever she asks you to do when you come of age. You will understand".
" Baby, for the last time listen to your father. I love you" . Her mother begged in a whisper. Her voice defeated.
She watched her parents whimper in pain before they finally died.
She could only cry. The only thing the men in black left was a dragon card.
" Let's leave Bella. They know you are alive. Here is no longer safe". Her crying nanny literally dragged her out of the house with her still screaming for her parents, not ready to believe that they were gone forever.
