The criminals

"What… do you really want?" Cassie swallowed seeing the horrible sight in front of her.

In a ruined mansion, no, in the ruins where Cassie castle belonged previously… 

The man took her there to let her meet her friends. She wasn't afraid of him in the least bit rather afraid that something might happen to her friends and now, her wide open eyes that glinted in the darkness scanned the dark place.

The three side was still standing covered with bricks but it was barely standing and could fall anytime yet her friends were chained and kept inside. 

Seeing the horrible scene, she kept her palm on her mouth in shock, her eyes swarmed around and finally she couldn't stop her legs from rushing inside but before she could take a step in, the man stopped her by grabbing her arm.

"Don't make such a mistake, Miss Cassie. Or else they will die," he said with a really hateful smile.
