I pace around the room, trying to find a flaw. Its seal tight. I knock on the glass and Jack turns his head. "Have you tried breaking it?"
Jack shook his head. I stare out the glass. They all look dreadful. I tilt my head down. My cheeks are wet. 'I'm so sorry. I've failed. I'm so sorry,' I whisper those words to myself. I wipe my cheeks and take a few deep breath, getting rid of the lump in my throat. I knock on the right wall. Ling didn't even bother to get up or even look at me. He have every right to be mad at me. "What do they do to you guys?"
A smirk form on his lips. That can't be good." Torture. They aren't returning justices but they are having the time of their life. Rich people choose who they want to torture and the government gets paid. We? We are slowly heading to death."
I turn my body facing him. Tears roll down his face with a smile on his lips. " Electrocution, whipping, you name it and they have it. They don't even let us out from here. You can stop hoping there will be a time for food, drinks or going outside. They even torture us in here. The rest are witnessing with horror and begging that no one would choose them."
The sound of metal chains moving makes us wonder which door is opening. Jack's door swings open. "No! No! No! Let him go! Take me instead! Please!," I scream out loud, not even slightly bother that others are giving me death stare. They push Jack back in my door opens. I have to do this. I have to do for them. 'Look away,' I mouthed to Jack. 'Look away,' I repeat once again. There's only a person. I kick him in the stomach and run out for the door but he manage to the grab my leg. He takes out a whip and lash it out on me. "I hate men when their true color are like this."
" You trying to argue makes it much more fun for me," I get on my legs and turns to him. I grab the whip as blood drips from my hand. " You disgust me so much," I snatch it from his hands. There's nothing left in me except for anger and possibly the thirst for murder. I whip him continuously. My right foot steps on his face, pressing hard against the floor. 3 men rush in as I try to defend myself but fear took over me. They pin me to the floor and tie up my legs and hands together. They start to pin wires at me. I bite my lip hard. I can feel the spark travels in my body. "Next time, just be more obedient. It will make things easier for you," he smirks as he push a button.
'You have to do this. You can do this. They all suffered because of you. Its fair you should feel it too.'
" I regret giving birth to you. I should have just abort you. Just die already," she said those words as she smash my heads on the floor. I always wonder, they teach us to be kind, to do the right thing but when I did it, they lash out in anger. She walks away and I quickly head to my room. Nari, my younger brother, is already hiding himself behind my bedroom door.
"Are you hurt? Did she hit you hard?" she hugs me as tear drops from her pale face. My body jolted hearing her scream.
"What are you doing ?! Give me your phone!" I tossed it to her. I always thought its normal for parents to lose temper fast. I thought we are awful kids to make them that angry. I never realised how toxic it was.
Tiny drops of water from my eyes slowly going down my cheeks while I lay still on the floor. Jack and Ling who has banging on the wall trying to get my attention. I smile at them and sit up from laying down. They both look horrified. That's what I thought until I look around. Some jaws are dropped. Some are covering their mouth from gasping. Some are covering their ears.
I no longer know if time pass by fast or slow. Neither knowing what time is it already. Jack has fallen asleep facing me with his hand on the glass. That's the closest we can get. Ling isn't asleep yet. I get up from my spot and walks to Ling's side. "Ling, if I sacrifice myself to stop them from torturing you or any one of you, do you think its a good thing or do you think that isn't enough?"
After a whole day, Ling finally turn to face me with a question mark on his face. "That's the most you can do at this point. I'm sure each one of us already tried to figure a way out. At the very least, they won't live in fear."
I nod at his answer. I stand in the middle of the room, waving towards the CCTV. Signaling whoever is watching to come. "Hey, Ling. Tell him I love him ,alright?"
Ling's jaw is already on the floor while I continuously trying to get their attention. I wait for a few minutes and they came. Ling is banging on the wall trying to get Jack's attention. I know this would be a right time to do the right thing. Sleep well my love.
