Terror

She stood there quietly."Everything is over"she thought to herself.

"Hey Bob.Come here" and the footsteps stopped.It turned and moved towards the sound and finally the person had walked far.Sandriya let out a sigh of relief and immediately ran to the car as fast as she could.She slid the key into the hole and started the engine and drove out of the basement.She stomped on the accelerator and the car sped fast.She looked in the rear view mirror.The two men had come out running when they heard the car.But they couldn't stop her.Soon she could no longer see the building.She sighed in relief.

But her relief was short lived.All of a sudden,She felt someone strangling her neck from behind.It was the hand of a man.In pain she immediately took her leg from the accelerator and the car slowly came to a stop.She looked at the rear view mirror.There was a man wearing a hooded jacket.He looked really scary.

This man was the leader of the other two men.He had been asleep in the car all this time.As he didn't step out of the car,Sandriya didn't notice him.The sudden acceleration made him wakeup.

Sandriya's eyes started to redden and tears fell down her cheeks.

He then took out his pistol and placed it against her head.

"Drive back"he said in a commanding tone.

But she didn't move an inch.

"Didn't you hear me?Now start the car.Don't make me use my pistol"he said,his tone getting louder in anger.

She had no option but to turn the car and drive back to the building.She couldn't believe her fate.Just moments ago she was free.But she is driving herself back to her captors.Now that she tried to escape and created big trouble,they were not going to treat her nice.Right?

With a face wet with tears and fear in her eyes,Sandriya drove back.The two men were standing outside.The car slowed down.

J.K,their leader,got down.He opened the driver's door and dragged her out and pushed her to the ground.

"You useless bastards.Can't you take care of a simple job by yourself."he shouted.

Sandriya tried to get up.But Bob dragged her by her hair, back to the room and tied her to the chair again.She tried to resist but Bob slapped her hard on the cheek.Bob was in rage.Another slap landed on her cheek.She shouted in pain.His hand prints were clear on her pale cheek.The other two stood watching.

"You brat,now tell me.What is your connection to the Stewards?"Bob asked as he held a tuft of her hair.

"I don't know.You got the wrong person.I don't know any Stewards"she tried to explain.

Ofcourse, she couldn't have known.Because Jonathan never once told her,his family name was Steward.

"Stop lying"he raised his hand and hit her again with force.

"I really don't know.Please let me go"she said crying.

"Don't test my patience.I will only ask once.Tell me.Are you his girlfriend?"he asked

"I really don't understand what you are talking"she cried.

"Oh.I will make you understand"J.K said as he walked towards her with a rod in his hands.

Sandriya was terrified looking at the rod.She suddenly felt her strength leave her body.Her vision blurred.Her skin became pale.Because of the continuous beating and due to profuse bleeding from her cut hand,Sandriya fainted...
