Agercia Series 1: Her Finest Betrayal

C h a p t e r 37

Agatha's P.O.V

When I woke up, I was already inside a dark dungeon. It was dark all around and only candles served as light. I didn't hear any noise, the silence was deafening. I don't know how many hours I've been in this dungeon. "H-hello?- Can I ask for water?!" I shouted, but no one seemed to hear me.

I went back to sitting on the floor and hugged myself. "How can I ask for help if I was confined to this empty place." I suddenly stood up when I heard footsteps. "Who's in there?."

"We will transfer you to another dungeon," the man said and opened the gate.

"Who are you? Where am I?" I asked the man wearing the black mask.

"I'm the punisher and you are in the dungeon in the castle of Agercia." The man answered and his voice was cold as ice.

My eyes widened when I heard that I was at the main base of Agercia. The place that is not on the map and has long been sought by the Triad. "What country am I in?"

"It is forbidden to tell the place where the castle of Agercia is, but you will die too, so I will tell you- You are in Greece."

I was terrified. I don't want to die yet. I am not yet ready to die in this place. I was about to be handcuffed by the man when I suddenly attacked him. And targeted his abdomen and chin. When the man fell, I ran out of jail. I was stopped in my tracks because there were so many detours around me and the dungeon seemed boundless. "It's like a maze", I mumbled.

"Go, run. When you get lost, you will be even more unable to get out of this dungeon." the man said emotionless while looking at me, so I never tried to run.

"This is more like hell-" I mumbled and was stunned as the punisher handcuffed me.

"It's only level 1 of what you say hell. There's something worse here and that's where you're headed", The man said then, so I looked at him.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"This is a dungeon for people with great sin. Once you enter here, it will be difficult for you to get out. You have ended two days in the silent dungeon. And now I'm taking you to the dark dungeon. And if you're still alive after five days, I'll move you to the bottom of the dungeon until you go crazy and die. You had better start praying that someone will help you. If no one takes pity on you, you will die here. And will be included in the missing person in the outside world."

I gulped nervously and my chest throbbed even harder. "What's at the bottom of the dungeon? " I asked the man nervously.

" Death, fear, emptiness, and death" The man's answer was simple but scary. I was just imagining it but my body was already terrified.

After a long walk, we reached the opposite side of the elevator. When we entered, the elevator moved down. Just a few minutes passed and the elevator opened. I hugged my body as I was exposed to a cautious and cold place. "W-hat k-ind of p-lace is t-his" I stuttered and was even more terrified by the cries of the prisoners who were there, screaming for help.

"It's like hell? but stage number 2" The punisher answered and led me inside. As I walked inside I was sweating even though the place was very cold.

I stopped and my eyes widened to see the men being whipped. "What is being done to them ?. Why are they being whipped?" I asked my punisher and gulped hard.

"They are the ones who are allowed to live". He answered my question and just kept walking straight.

"W-hat?," I stuttered. They didn't seem to be given a chance. It was as if they were sentenced to a quick death.
