Chapter Three

THIRST FOR VENGEANCE

I woke up in a strange room. Tubes all over my body. By the look of things they were draining my blood. I could see three bags already full in a side table. An IV hanging above me connected to my left arm. On my right was another tube connected to my right arm. Another blood transfusion? This time it was transfusion to my system. I got confused. Whatever was happening I damn needed explanation.

I swept through the room with my eyes and it landed on someone sleeping. What time it was, I had no idea. My head hurt and I wanted something to cool it down.

"Hey!" I shouted but it only came as a whisper. By this time sweat was trickling on my face and I felt so uncomfortable. I tried to move but I couldn't feel my legs.

Minutes later I heard people talking while they headed my direction.

Wait, those voices sound familiar. My friends seem to be arguing. I felt relieved that they came for me. They must have brought me here in the first place. And whatever these tubed are doing they sure must have an explanation right?

So I waited for them to come. I could hear a males commanding voice talking.

"Fifty thousand! Last price take it or leave it", he seemed to say.

"What? Do you know the trouble we went through convincing her to come with us. Do you have any idea how much we spent making her look like a queen? Do you know how much more trouble we will be when she goes missing?" That sounded like Joy.

Who the hell were they talking about? Wait! That's me. What are they up to. They are selling me? That can't be. They are my friends they can't do such things to me.

"By the way she is even a virgin. That will definately cost you extra", Angie said.

Boom! That is it. They are talking about me. Selling me, scratch that, I mean bargaining how much they should sell me for.

"A ritualist?" I thought out loud just before the door was opened and I heard footsteps coming closer.

"Are you sure it will work? Will her memory be wiped clean, like she would look at me and not remember me ever?" Miriam asked.

"You don't have to worry. Everything will be perfect by the time we are finished with her." Said the male voice.

"Okay so we settled at 60k right?" That was Stella.

"Damn! I wonder why she had you as friends. She must be really naive not to know that you could sell her soul for few thousands", another male chirped in.

"She was a pain in the ass. So what better way to get rid of her than to sacrifice her? Miriam said and they laughed loudly. All this time I was in a daze. I couldn't imagine what was happening. Tears we're threatening to burst my ducts but I had to keep still. I would wait till the so called friends of mine go then I would beg for my life from these monsters.
