His Keen Desire-A Typical Love Story

Ch. 56. A Beast Remains Beast

"What is this smell?" Curious to herself she stepped into the dark place which looked like a basement. Following the staircase, she came down and tried to search the switch board beside the wall. The only dim bulb lightening right above the stairs, was not able to show the structure of the whole place well, but it helped finding her the switch board. Here, the smell was more stenchy and sharply rancid.

As she turned the lights on, the sight her eyes witnessed, snatched her ability to even think. Her legs grew weaker, heart leapt into her throat, she felt like throwing up.

In helplessness and shock, a terrible scream came out of her mouth, which shook the tall standing walls of this horrifying butcher house. The brutal scenes in front of her filled her pure soul with terror. There were some chairs beside the left side and along the front walls, on which some people were tied in ropes. Torn clothes, dipped in blood, scratches on bodies, cuts and bruises. About two of them probably lost their senses as their bodies were motionless. Might be dead, she did not know.

The stench that dragged her here was probably that of their blood. At a little distance a baseball bat was lying with splashes of clotted blood over it. There was no furniture except those chairs and ropes. Brown marbled floor had distant viscous patches of blood, dried and fresh as well. This place seemed to be some kind of torture cell. There was no window, no ventilator. Before Aabi's terror-filled eyes could scan this horrid-like-hell place further, a voice caught her attention, pretty familiar one.

"Aabi...?" This surprised voice came from the north. As soon as Aabi turned back and looked at the northern wall behind her, another horrible scream involuntarily came out of her mouth in utter shock.

They were none else than her step uncle and his son, sitting tied on two chairs, adjacent to each other.

"How come you are here?" Ohsik asked as his eyes fell on her rich face all draped in fear.

"Please save us." The voice of uncle Hansik cut his son's question.

Aabi's senses stopped working. Hearing her terrifying screams, the other bound men also shuddered.

"Who are you girl?"

"Who sent you here?"

"Fuck whoever she is, tell her to come and open us up."

"Hey girl, have you not heard, come here, hurry up."

"Come and open our hands and feet, hurry."

"Did King Jeon sent you here?"

Voices were emerging from all directions making her already weak body grow more weak.

All of their voices were mixing in each other's.

"Are you a deaf girl, hurry up, we don't have time for your drama, or I will chew you raw as soon as I am free from here." A middle-aged man shouted in his sharp voice spitting blood and Aabi placed her palms on her ears to avoid the loud pitch.

Seeing them yelling at her and looking at her like hungry wolves, Aabi's mind spun like a ship stuck in a hurricane. Tears abruptly started flowing from her weakly exposed eyes.

"Aabi, look at me, free us, I don't know what crime we are being punished for. If you are taking any kind of revenge from us, we beg for forgiveness with folded hands, forgive us and let us go from here." Uncle Hansik's begging voice once again dragged the attention of her already bursting ears.

"Oh, this girl is beautiful.  Free me girl, I will take you with me. We will have a lot of fun, in my bedroom." Another tied up man's drooling voice shook Aabi's hearing. Looking at Aabi with prying hungry eyes, he was eagerly trying to break the ropes.
