"Where is Lalita & Vishakha?"

"Those two human girls who came with you? We will discuss them later." The man in front of me dismisses the matter with a shake of his hands and continues, "Where is Krishn?"

"I do not know. If you do not remember already, I am not around him right now." I wish we went to them when they were playing nearby, none of this would have happened if we had.

"Silly girl. That is not what I — where does he live? What is the name of the village?" He asks irritably.

Ah. So, it was helpful. The changing of place. Now, shall I lie? Tell him that I do not know? Why is he asking from me?

"Tell me your name first." I demand.

"I will not." He replies indignantly, as though I have asked for something absurd.

"Then I will not tell you the name of the village either."

"Very well then, stay here for the rest of your life, which will be for ever. Let us go, confront the other two silly girls." He addresses the last line to the short man standing a little far away, and they get out of the chamber.

After we entered the door, me & Lalita were taken inside through another to sets of doors across from each other.

Vishakha was in the middle. Do not know what happened to her. She is a smart girl though. She can take care of herself.
I pray that she and Lalita understood what these people are.

The minute I was brought into this chamber, I knew what these persons were, by their overly sweet scent. Monsters. They are monsters.

This cave is extravagant though. Doeas not seem like a place made for monsters.
The designs on the cave's walls and the ornamental furnitures are intricate.
Monsters does not like such things. They like swampy and dirty places.
Was this really made by those monsters? A hiding place maybe. Although everything is so much gorgeous here, nothing is comfortable. Makes me question, was this really made by someone who seeks a comfortable and rich stay?

Ah, questions. Right now I have so many questions.

Are there more people with them? If there are, then are they in this cave also? And are they really this foolish to leave me here unrestrained? Or maybe they simply forgot about me because they were in a hurry to find about Krishn? If they really do want to find where he is, why do not they go and find out themselves? Why do even they want to find Krishn?

While wandering inside the cave, chamber to chamber, suddenly two voices catch my attention.

– "It has been so long, father. What will happen once we step outside this cave?"

– "We must not step outside this cave."

– "What is it father, that you still keep a secret from me?"

There were more people in this cave. A father with his daughter. I do not understand whether they are held with or against their will here from their conversation.

But I am going to find out soon. I start towards the chamber the voices were coming from.
