TWISTED 2| Sequel| MYG| 18+

26

It's been five days. Five long and terrifying days of me staring at the staircase, hoping to see Suga coming up the stairs to save me.

"He wouldn't be able to find you." They said. Not only Hazel but also Hyunjin told me that. Hyunjin, the angelic son of the devil. He talks so sweetly that sometimes I wish for Minjoon to be a not-so-small girl so I could marry her off to him. Of course after killing that old piece of ginger. I wouldn't even know how many days it has been if not for Hyunjin. The other day when I was losing my shit worrying about Minjoon, he told me that his dad was so pissed off when his boys couldn't find Minjoon along with the phone in the house so it's hundred percent confirmed that Suga took him. But for the sake of his safety, I had to keep it a secret. That is why I have been eating MinHyuk's brain about Minjoon's whereabouts but he keeps avoiding the question. All he does is tell me how Suga might have already found a new bird and I should stop hoping to go back home and start considering this shithole my home.

But I'm sure Suga will find me, sooner or later he will. He will not stop until he does. Even though it is hard to stay positive, whenever I open my eyes I gather every ounce of courage inside me and bear everything by the thought of getting rescued. Halfway through the day when it gets hard staying positive mainly because of the condition of the girls around me, I cry myself to sleep. This floor has a few tiny windows or may I say holes, but they are so high and far away from my compartment that I cannot see out of it. The only way to know what time of the day it is, is the sunlight coming through the holes. The strange thing is, I never saw a bird sitting on it. It is like even the birds do not want to do anything with this piece of hell on earth.

I'm so done with this, waiting for someone to come and help me. It is so not like the Hana I know. I don't depend on people for my safety, I protect myself. I'm enough for me. I'm the one I need.

"What the heck Hana no way!" Hazel pushed my hands away from her, shocked or should I say, scared of what's going inside my head.

"Come on Hazel it has been 3 months no one could find you. What are you planning to do? Keep waiting and die here?" I tried knocking some sense in her head.

"Just like how no one can find us, we can't leave either. Do you think none of these girls tried?"

They did? Of course, they did. Hana, you are not the only one with brains in this world. Duh.

"What happened then?"

"They either killed her on the spot or tortured her and left her to die of pain." Guessing by the fading colors of her face, I knew she witnessed things she shouldn't have.

"No! They don't."

"They did. Right in front of my eyes. These people are sick." So, I was right. As much as I don't want to trigger her memories, I also don't want to end up witnessing or worse, experiencing those horrible things.

"I'm not staying still, not helping myself," I mumbled to myself as I tore my eyes off her and turned around, going back to my so-called bed. I hugged my knees, thinking about something good. Something that will set my head off this situation but nothing was working. If I think about an escape, my mind shows me the images of the consequences. And if I try to think about Minjoon, I miss him more and the feeling of emptiness fills me. Oh how much the softness of his baby skin and the warmth of his innocent words used to calm me down. Even the thought of Suga was not helping either, I hate to admit that somewhere I was starting to believe that he wouldn't reach me. At least not before a month. I hate how there is no phone or internet, how the hell am I supposed to run away from my thoughts?

Hazel told me how she came here. Her brother died of cancer at the age of 22. Not being able to bear the pain of losing a young son, her mother went into severe depression and started accusing her father for everything. Blaming himself for the poverty of his family, her father started drinking way too much. Her house was a mess, so she sought comfort in the outside world which she finally found in a boy who introduced her to the wrong powder. He was a drug addict. One day he got so desperate for the drugs, so, he took her along with him to buy the drugs but was short of some bills so he proffered her in exchange for the drugs. The drug dealer happened to be MinHyuk. So, she knew there is literally no possibility of someone going to the extent to find her.
