Flashback: Muffled screams

"hmmm..." I groaned, feeling a pearing pain on my wrists. I tried to move myself from my position but I struggled.

"hmmmp..." I tried to talk but words didn't come out, instead, it was muffled. I was snapped out of darkness and squinted my eyes which were still in the state of adjustment.

My muffled screams were the only sound I could hear. It was even echoing. I tried my hardest to pull my hand but the harder I pulled, the more pain I felt. I cried as I've felt useless and weak, I couldn't of release myself.

When my vision has already adjusted, I looked around and saw nothing but an empty shell, with just me alone.

The light coming from below the closed door was the only thing that kept the room partially visible. I screamed again, hoping there will be help but it was useless until my stomach growled for hunger.

I started to scold myself for being too proud, it led me to this kind of situation. Crying was the only thing I could do since I was helpless. 'Am I going to be killed?', was the question that kept running in my mind. This is what they called karma. When you do it to people, someday it'll turn back to you, whether they were good or bad.

Rustles from outside snapped me out of my reverie then few seconds later, the door flew open. A tall man came in but I couldn't of figured how he looked because he was against the light. When he came near me, he gave me a plate of bread and banana with a glass of milk.

My brother was not like this. He does the opposite. He treats people like prisoners and only fed them with soup that they would rather throw because of its tastelessness then he would make them be beaten up to death.

Clearing my throat, gesturing for my covered mouth, he swiftly reached and pinched the tip of the tape that was covering almost half of my face. "Ooooouuuuccchhhh!" was the first word I exclaimed since he carelessly removed the tape from my face.

"Why, you thought I'd be treating you like a princess?" he said, ironically as he snorted.

"Eat now. You have to look good for later." he said and it confused me. Though I was in confusion, I still had to pamper myself from hunger. "I... I can't eat." I muttered when I realized that my hands were still being tied.

"Suit yourself, cagna. You eat or die... I don't care. It's up to you." he said, trying to act on superiority but, instead, I just looked at him like I was facing someone who has no coconut shell. "Duh!" I said sarcastically as I slightly turned to my right and bent my body forward, showing him my hands.

"Oh!...right...uhh—fine." and he untied my hands. Immediately, I began eating like a voracious human being. Don't blame me... I've never eaten after escaping from another deep shit. It only took me a minute to finish my food and I wanted more.

"Can I have more?" I asked but more of a demand. He tutted and shook his head.

"What are you, a pig to slaughter?" he pinched my chin and tilted my head.

"You know... You don't look so bad. You can be of good use while we wait for the right time." he said with pure lust in his tone. He put his thumb on my lips and caressed them like a maniac, it made my heart pound so hard and loud. Due to adrenaline rush, I opened my mouth hastily and bit his finger as hard as I could. I did look like a hungry shit for biting someone's flesh but I didn't care cause it serves him right.

"Fu------ck!" he screamed as he raised his other hand to beat me but I only bit his finger, harder, I could already taste blood from it. "Aaaaaaaooooouuuucchhh!" he cried from pain and I only released him when my saliva was about to drop and I spit into his face.

"What the fuck is going on here?!" shouted another man who rushed inside and was followed by other three men. "He....." I pointed at the pervert who was mumbling curses at that time.
