I scream as I was dragged by my hair. Master dragged me to the dungeon which was a place that I never wanted to see again. It was a place where he had made me kill an innocent girl for helping me in escaping.

I didn't want to but it was either my family or her. I chose my family.
      I resisted and screamed as I was once again led to that place which smelled like death.

My eyes widened in shock and dread as I saw the person tied up on the chair.

No! This... this can't be happening.

He was unconscious and bruised. I couldn't do anything but stare at him, frozen as tears slowly and silently rolled down my cheeks.

"It seems that my princess has been a very naughty little girl lately." I couldn't form any words as his taunting voice floated in the air.

My only friend in the college was tied up in the lair of this monster... because of me. If only I had resisted his persuasions a little more; if only I had been more stern when I rejected the proposal of his friendship over and over again.
      
What did I even think when I finally accepted him? Allowed him to get close to me. I was naive to even think that he won't find out; that we could sneak around forever. I was selfish for allowing him to step into the darkness that my life was. And now he was going to pay the price with his life.

My body started trembling slightly as I looked up at the monster standing beside me. "Ma... master please." My voice was soft as I pleaded him. "Don't do this. I'll... I'll never see him again. I... I promise." My voice broke as I begged him to release him. I knew what he was going to do.

He was going to kill him and it will be my fault. Just like my parents amd my little brother, my best friend's blood will also be on my hands.

I was begging him to let him go and punish me instead.

He shook his head wistfully as looked at me with mock sorrow in his eyes. "I wouldn't have to do this, had you not broken my most important rule, my princess." He traces his index finger gently down my cheek, hooking it under my chin making me tremble anew with fear. "What was the rule?"

"To ne... never... ta... talk to any... anybody." Stuttering pathetically I managed to answer him, my voice shaking.

I screamed as he jerked my head back violently by my hair, ripping some strands. He brought my face closer to his as he glared in my face. "You both will get what you deserve, my princess, especially that vermin." Lowering his voice to a whisper, he brought his lips near my ear. "If he dies today then his blood will be on your hands. If you hadn't been selfish and broken one of my rules none if this would be happening."

Tears fall from my eyes as his words echo in my mind. "Please... please master punish me all you want, but... but don't hurt him... please. Release him... I'm begging you please." My voice breaks as I plead him to release Drake.
