"Rohit," Aman growls looking at him.... wait Rohit... Rohit... he's Aman's brother! But isn't he dead?
"Hello Aman, miss me?" Rohit says walking up to his brother.
"I killed you, with my own hands," Aman says angrily to Rohit.
"It's called faking your death," Rohit laughs off turning around to look at me.
"And you are beautiful," he says winking at me. I look away then feel his hand coming under my chin, making me look at him.
"Priya, don't you remember me?" He smiles and I take in his features. He has a scar along the side of his face, and calm yet dangerous eyes, and his breath... smells strongly of alcohol.
"You and Gracie used to be friends," I whisper trying to close out the smell of liquor.
"You're one smart cookie," he laughs standing up and turning towards Aman.
"You're a bastard," Melissa spats with tears in her eyes.
"Oh it's good to see you too," he laughs walking over to her.
"I hate you Rohit... no, I loathe you!" She says angrily to him and he laughs looking over at all of us. Then suddenly...
Smack!
Melissa's face is now turned the other way and Rohit glares at her.
"I'll make sure you die after your brother," he says walking away from her heading for Tina.
"Anything you want to say?" He scoffs stopping in front of her.
"You won't win, not again, and I'll make sure that this time I kill you," she says keeping a strong face as he looks ready to kill her. He lifts his hand up to slap her but Aman shouts his name.
"You want to hurt someone then hurt me, slap me, thrash me, stab me, shoot me, kill me for all I care! But don't you dare lay a hand on my sisters!" Aman shouts and Rohit laughs lowering his hand going over to Aman.
"Kaal will kill you, my job is to keep a show going while he gets ready," Rohit says walking around Aman the same way Kaal did.
"You don't think that Kaal will actually win, do you?" Rajveer scoffs.
"He's been preparing for years," Rohit says examining Aman's back.
"Woah, brother, those slashes on your back are wicked," he laughs.
"Kaal could never be strong enough," Alina says glaring at Rohit with so much hatred, if only looks could kill.
"Well he got you all here, all because your savior couldn't save you, protect you," Rohit says walking around to the front of Aman.
"And you know why that is?" He says getting in Aman's face.
"Because all his life he's been a screw up, and always fucked things up for everyone else," Rohit says slapping Aman hard and scoffing.
"He fucked you over Priya,"
"He fucked you over Aisha,"
"Tina and Melissa,"
"Mom and Dad,"
"Let's face it, he's just an accident waiting to happen," Rohit says and there is a sparkle of pain in his eyes as he says his last line.
"Rohit," a woman's voice says from the steel door and I turn my head, the best I can to see her.
"Yes Kiara," he responds.
"Kaal has called for you," she says and exits, not bothering to wait for him.
"Until we meet again," he says to Aman before calmly walking out of the cellar.
"I'll show him," Aman whispers.
"Kya?" Aisha says slightly pulling against the restraints.
"I have to get out of these chains," he says looking up at the chains.
"Nahin Aman last time you did that you barely survived!" Anjali says, panicked.
"I can't let any of you die today, especially not my Priya," he says with his voice cracking. He avoids looking at us by looking up at the chains, but I know he is welling up. I know him well enough to say that he is ready to cry.
"Aman you will open those wounds again, the doctor said if you open them you could die!" Tina shouts pulling and pulling, trying to get free.
"I don't care," he says pulling harder against the chains.
"Aman please don't do this to yourself!" Aisha shouts panicking in her chair. He pulls harder and I can see his wrists turning red.
"Aman you're going to hurt yourself!" Courtney shouts with tears in her eyes.
"Aman you can't listen to what your brother said, you saved us more times than we can count, you have to stop!" Gene shouts looking at Aman with pain. Aman continues pulling and grunts from his unsuccessful tries.
"Aman pleas stop," Kabir says full of worry in his voice. Then I see it, blood. Running down his arm.
"Aman you're bleeding!" Aisha says panicking even more.
"You remember what I told you Aish?" Aman says pulling with so much force his eyes start to close.
"Haan..." she says in almost a whisper.
"I'm keeping that promise," he says as a stream of blood rushes down from both wrists down his arms. I feel all the words on my tongue, suddenly evaporate and I sit here painfully watching Aman try to break free.
"Aman stop!" Melissa says with a tear rolling down her face. He stops for once second. Then wraps his hands around the chain, and braces himself to pull again. The blood slows down but for only a second. Aman pulls again, veins popping from his arms and his eyes shut tightly, more blood rushing from his wrists. I close my eyes unable to watch this and then I hear it. The snap of a chain and the thud of his body. I open my eyes and see him laying, face down, on the floor, chains with him but he is motionless.
"Aman!" I shout finally finding my voice. I see the whip markings more clearly now and look away because of the way they look. Horrifying. Small pools of blood form around his wrists and hands as he lays there.
"Aman get up please..." Aisha says with her voice cracking slightly. He stays still.
"Aman..." I say in a whisper feeling a tear caress my cheek. Then he moves. He moves his wrists up in the air and slowly starts to sit up. He grunts in pain as he stands up fully and struggles to stay up.
"Let me find the keys," he whispers starting to slowly shuffle around the cellar.
"Aman you need to find them quickly, your wrists..." I whisper following him with my gaze.
"They are over here," he whispers walking up the two stairs and grabbing the keys from the cellar door. He shuffles back over to us and goes over to Gene. He hands him the keys and Gene helps Aman out of his chains. When they fall to the ground, Aman lifts his wrists up trying to stop the blood flow. He looks around and spots his shirt torn up in three pieces.
"Aman let one of us out to tie around your cuts," Courtney says nervously. He stops and takes two steps toward Tina, he lets her out of the chair and she looks like she wants to hug him but doesn't. They walk over to the shirt and she picks the pieces up as Aman gives her his wrist.
"I can't believe you did that," she says as a tears drops onto his cut.
"You all need to get out of here," he says as she ties the fabric to his one wrist.
"We are not leaving without you," she says tying the other piece of fabric to his other wrist.
"You have to get out, with me, or without me," he says as she finishes tying the fabric on around his wrist. He then places his hands on her cheeks and places a kiss on her forehead.
Aman's P.O.V
I move to her ear and feel a tear fall from my eyes.
"At any cost, save my wife and child... I can't lose my wife again... chances are I may not live to see my child grow up... but please... as my sister, get them out safe," I whisper so only she can hear. I hear a soft sob erupt from her throat and I want to hug her, but the slashes on my back that are most likely bleeding, encourage me not to.
"I love you Aman," she whispers before another sob fills the air.
"Challo, let's get everyone out of their chairs," I say and she nods her head, we walk to everyone and start getting everyone free from their chairs. I walk over to Priya and she stares at me frightened as I unlatch all four of the hinges setting her free. She stands up slowly with her hands in mine, guiding her up. She stares at me sadly and I see tears building in her eyes. I take her arms and place them on my shoulders, then wrap my arms around her waist hugging her. She slowly wraps her arms around my neck, and let's her hands rest in my hair.
"Please," she whispers and I feel a small warm drop of water touch my skin. She's crying.
"Please what baby," I say holding her in my arms for what may be the last time.
"Please don't leave me, we need you," she whispers and I close my eyes.
"I promised you I'd be here, I promised naa?" I say feel tears building in my eyes and I open them.
"I love you Aman," she whispers softly.
"I love you too Priya... I love you so much," I whisper feeling a couple tears leave my eyes, washing the dried blood that covers the side of my face. She slowly pulls back from me and stares at me with sad eyes. I lean down and kiss her softly. She kisses me back and I feel that she doesn't want to let me go. I pull back from our kiss and try to smile at her.
"We are all getting out of here, but you all need to cooperate with me to get out in once piece," I say turning around with my arm still around Priya's waist.
"Aman there is no way we can get out of this cellar," Aisha says looking around.
"We will wait until Kaal comes back down, and I will take him out," I say unwrapping my arm from Priya's waist.
"But how?" Alina asks looking confused.
"He left two of his guns down here," I say motioning my head over to a table that holds more whips, chains and two guns.
"Aisha, you will take one and get everyone out safe, I will take Kaal out and meet you guys at safety," I say hesitantly.
"Aman you have open wounds on your back and your wrists, you're to much of an easy target for Kaal!" Courtney says stepping forward at me.
"I'll have to do what needs to be done," I say and feel Priya grab my arm.
"Aman please don't," she pleads.
"I will get to safety, I will," I say carefully taking her hand off my arm and into my hands. She closes her eyes letting a tear escape and I bring my hand up to her face, using my thumb to wipe away the tear.
"I love you Aman," she whispers opening her eyes.
"I love you too baby," I say before kissing her forehead.
"Aman... I hear footsteps," Aisha says and I stay silent listening for them. Then I hear them. Faint footsteps, slowly getting a bit louder.
"Get Priya out, and please stay safe," I whisper rushing over and grabbing the guns. I hand one to Aisha and she looks at me with tears in her eyes.
"I'll meet you on the other side," I say knowing full well I may not. But I sure as well try my hardest. I hear the door creak open and turn my attention fully to it. I slowly walk over towards Priya pushing her backwards, letting everyone surround her, I know she is safe. Then I see Rohit, stepping out and staring at us fearfully. I see that there is a new cut on the side of his face, and what he says next, completely shocks me.
"You need to get out, all of you, now."
