Chapter 6: Torture In The Cell
Samantha couldn’t guess how many hours or days had passed since she was locked here. All the cell walls lacked windows or holes, making it impossible to estimate the time by the weather of the day.
It became so till Samantha grew accustomed to the darkness itself.
Whenever she closed her eyes, flashes of the torturing girl who was harshly dragged into the darkness kept replaying in her mind.
The lingering sorrow in the girl’s eyes haunted her, and Samantha felt uncomfortable.
She wondered if the girl was alright....or probably dead since the punishment for trying to escape warranted a death penalty.
Presently, Samantha couldn’t make out the actual monsters in the world. Humans, Vampires, they were all the same!!
Already emotionally drained with no more tears to shed, Samantha slept for a long time. Her cellmates would wake her up when the guardsmen brought scanty food for all of them to eat, and refusal to eat would trigger another type of punishment.
As starved as she was to the point her stomach cried, Samantha refused to eat what these people served them. She wasn’t an animal who they could give dirt to eat and then punish when they felt like it.
Even animals are treated better than this.
