Chapter Warning: Murder

Sitting in front of my laptop, I inserted the pendrive and waited for the video to load

Sitting in front of my laptop, I inserted the pendrive and waited for the video to load. I took the pendrive from Aisha on my way back to my hostel, even though she was pretty excited to join me. Unfortunately, I had to reject her because I didn't know what this video might contain.

As the video finally loaded, I clicked on the file name saved with some random numbers. As soon as I opened it, the video started, and the screen flashed with the dimly lit locked cell of a central jail.

Wait.

What is this? This-is that monster, Yash Devraj, sitting inside the cell.

That fucking monster is sitting inside the cell. As the video goes on, two prisoners entered his cell, and one of them landed a hard punch on his face.

I gasped as I covered my mouth while the video was processing further, and the more the video went on, the more one prisoner tortured that monster, Yash, until the video finally ended with Yash Devraj's brutal death inside the prison cell.

Prisoner 704 killed him with his bare hands.

This-why did he kill Yash Devraj? Prisoner 704, why did you kill him like that? Prisoner 704 was young in that video; of course, he was. This video is 4 years old.

My hands started to shake as I slowly closed the file and took the pendrive out. I wasn't expecting to see this-I wasn't. What should I do? What-what should I actually do!?

My hands won't stop shaking, but I slowly managed to get up from my seat and went near my dustbin and threw the pendrive inside it. This pendrive should be removed immediately. I don't want anyone to find this. Even though Dixit and Aisha don't know anything about this past incident of mine, I should still erase this video completely.

I quickly grabbed some rough, useless papers from my desk and threw them inside the dustbin. I then grabbed the lighter from the drawer and set fire to the papers inside the dustbin.

Yes, the pendrive should burn. I don't want this anymore. Please-just burn.

I sat on the ground as I watched the papers burning along with the pendrive inside. The room started to fill up with light black smoke, but I quickly got up when the sharp tang of plastic and slight metallic burning smell hit my nose making my chest tighten with every breath. I think the pendrive is burnt.

I rushed towards my door and pressed the emergency switch outside my room as the bell rang, which made some other girls from the other room rush towards mine.

"Nahella, hey! Is everything alright!!??" one of my seniors asked. I shook my head and pointed my finger towards the fire inside.

"Gosh!!!" the girls gasped, and then the head madam of our hostel stepped in and pressed the fire extinguisher inside my room. "Are you okay-?" another girl asked, and I nodded.
