Chapter 127: The Escape Plan
Nora continued to keep her eyes closed and lean against the wall. Whoever the perpetrator was, they were probably keeping an eye on her through the cameras. Naturally, she would not give them satisfaction by showing her fear.
The room was cold and she could feel the temperature dropping, making her shiver. Her hands were bound so tightly that they had begun to lose feeling, making it difficult to maintain her focus. She continued to scan the room from under her eyelids, trying to get an idea of where the door could be.
She was careful to not look in the direction of the skeletons even as her eyes continuously went to them. Somehow, she had a feeling that these skeletons had been put here specifically for her. These hinted at a plot much more sinister than she could imagine...
Time crawled, and Nora heard the small sound of a door clicking. Her eyes snapped open and she turned her head in the direction of the sound.
The concealed door opened, revealing one of the shadowy figures from before. Their face was hidden behind a mask. Her eyes narrowed as she took in other details of the person. He was a man. Taller than the average height. This meant he could not be Antonio. And there was no one else tall enough in their classmates so this was some other person.
Whoever the person was, she would have to use him. "Who are you?" She asked without a hint of vulnerability.
The man turned a surprise gaze towards her but then immediately masked the surprise and looked at her curiously, "Are you not scared?"
Nora shrugged her shoulders," Well, I am not too sure what I should be scared of? Why was I kidnapped and not directly killed. I mean you injected me with a drug but not with poison."
The man’s eyes narrowed and he laughed loudly," What a smart girl. Don’t worry. I will definitely kill you. But I will take my time. You see, the person who wanted you kidnapped, wants to torture you first."
"So, you want to torture me? Hmm..." The man expected the girl to cower in fear as she heard his threat but instead, she simply made a contemplative sound and said nothing more. He observed her expressions and could not even find a hint of fright.
As he continued to observe her, suddenly a smile came across her face and she said, a hint of threat in her words," That would be foolish, you know?"
This caught the man’s interest and he walked closer to her, squatting in front of her to look at her carefully," What would be foolish, little girl? Torturing you? Why? What can you do other than scream?"
