The Challenge

(From Ella's Perspective)

"Ugh!" I groaned in pain as he threw me into the cell. 

He had yanked me all the way here and threw me in an underground cell. My whole body was aching because of the rough pull. I even hurt my stomach on the way. 

"Are you hurt, little bird?"

'You bastard!'

He held my hands with only one hand. Though he was old, he seemed to be pretty strong. I tried to kick him away, but he forcefully pushed me against the wall. 

"Let me go!" I yelled. 

"I have taken quite a liking to you," he grinned. "Don't you know? I like the ones who try to fight back."

There was no way I could fight him back. He was far too strong. And moreover, my stomach was aching now. It was even hard to talk. 

But I knew what was going to happen if I did not do anything now. I would be ruined. No matter what, I did not want that to happen. Anything else was fine, but not that.
