Chapter 10 *** Saving A Woman ***
615 Words
Lisa swallowed hard when the scream came with such velocity. Darting her eyes back and forth, she saw no one and her bravery side encouraged her to go ahead.
She was still feeling reluctantance since she was completely new and didn't know in where danger lurked in this castle.
Breathing heavily, she made her way inside the dungeon rapidly. Since no guards were around, she was extra courageous.
Meanwhile, Cyrus was awakened habitually as he was sleeping in different room. Opening his eyes partially, he sat up in straight and searched for Lisa around but she was nowhere to be seen.
Blue veins immediately appeared on his forehead when he thought that Lisa had finally escaped away. Vowing inside to lock the woman tonight, he jumped down from the bed and took large strides out of the doorway.
If she really escaped this time, she would be doomed to death!
Lisa continued pacing towards the way of dungeon. An urge of nauseous hit her nostrils as she stepped in silently. This place was full of dirts and bad smell heavied the air. Having second thought, she regretted to come inside and swiped her eyes around to look for the source of voice that she heard from the corridor.
She saw a woman inside the dungeon chained all over her body. Her hairs were all disheveled and she seemed to live in very poor state. Most of her hairs had covered half of her face thus she couldn't look into her features. But Lisa could detect that she was going through several punishments.
Lisa's arrival had made sense to that woman who kept howling in pain. Arching her head up, she tried to take clear vision of Lisa who stood far away with her observant eyes. The woman in chain immediately smelled her fragnance and understood that she was a human.
A glimmer of hope flashed across her eyes when she saw how innocently she was eyeing at her. The woman in chain yelled seeking for her attention earnestly,
" Young girl... Please.. Please...save me.."
Lisa scooted closer after her desperate cries. Getting closer to the ironic gate, Lisa asked in a fearful voice,
" Who..who put you in here? Did you commit any crime?"
The woman gave Lisa a single word between her gritted teeth,
" Cyrus Nelson! He put me in here."
Lisa felt pity for the woman who was in very poor state. Breathing helplessly, she asked running her eyes suspiciously on her,
" What are you? "
The woman parted her lips open before swallowed back the word that she was going to utter. With a choking voice, she replied sadly,
" Human! They have forced me to stay here. I have daughters to take care of. Please, young lady. Help me get out of here. God will show mercy on you."
Lisa deeply observed her and found her words sincere. She hesitated before uttering back nervously,
" How..how will I help you out since I, myself stuck here? "
The woman beamed in excitement. She found the exact opportunity of using Lisa correctly. She assured in a mysterious voice,
" I can help both of us to get out together but you have to do few tasks until we are out of this castle."
The woman asked further narrowing her eyes hopefully,
" Say..Will you help me? We both will have our own freedom! "
Lisa pondered in deep thoughts. After today's trial, she understood that she couldn't run away without assistance any longer. Gulping down her saliva nervously, she spoke between hesitation and nervousness,
" I will help you but you must promise that you will take me with you."
