you know the creepy feeling you get upon hearing the word dungeon. And then angry feeling you get when you realize that the creepy feeling you had went in waste . I was facing the same thing.

 I was so damn scared when those two muscular guys literally picked me off the ground and put me in this cell. And now I'm angry becuse of two things- 1) Because the creepy feeling was of no use.  2) I was bored.

------------------------------------------------

Presantly, I was sitting cross legged on the floor with my chin resting on my hands,bored. what the hell am I supposed to do here? wether it was that creepy dungeon that I assumed or the boring dark cell that I'm now seated in, the punishment was the same. death.

Death due to pain or death due to boredom.

I  sighed. something has to be done.

"Help! I'm dying in here! help meeeeeee!" those two twin gaurds turned toward me instantly to check out if every thing was alright.

"Are you alright?do you want to go to the hospital.? you seem okay." they demanded know without  showing any concern.

How rude. " I'm not alright! Can't you see I'm dying in here because of boredom! aaarrrhhh!" I made wierd noises wrapping my hands around my neck adding the 'dying' effect and looked up to meet their gazes.  

" Listen up here girl! don't mess with us!" one last pointed look and they turned away. gosh. they were born to be cell gaurds.

huffing I complained again "But I'm bored! what am I supposed to do here for 6 days!"

"should have thought that before insulting the head cheif." They snorted and I crossed my arms standing up.

"I said nothing wrong!" I defended back.

"oh yea-" they cut off looking horror stuck. making me bewildered.

"what hap-"

"shutup" the one to my right snarled at me.

I cowered back and sat where I was sitting a while ago.

instantly, They started communicating with other people and then the gaurd to my left was gone. warning  alarm started ringing and soon there was a group of senior Arkwo's meaning the defence group, running towards the pathway that was visible when I peeked out through my cell bar.

--------------------------------------------------------------

After half hour the two gaurds were back. I gathered enough courage to ask them as to what happened.

"Nothing that you should know off." they flipped me away.

How rude. Again!

" Oh,c'mon! please! I'm just curious. And who wouldn't be?" I pleaded them, logically, might I add.

"I told you, it's nothing you should know off! " I think I'm annoying them.

" Puh-leez! please, please! curiosity kills the cat." puppy eyes.

"So let the cat die!" the one to my left snapped at me, making me shut my mouth completly.

Here am I sitting again on the floor cross legged. I want to know  what the hell happened. what was that rush about?

I rested my head against the wall and closed my eyes for a nap. Though there was a bed in the cornor, I found this place more comfortable and that bed wasn't even worth calling a bed, it was just a rectngle piece of fiberglass with a thin sheet of cotton covering it. that's it.

Metals were scarcely used in our place because they could melt easily and we were the people of heat in addition fire was our natural weapon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I couldn't hold myself down for more than twenty minutes. I'm desperate to know what happened.

that cruel thing called 'curiosity' was murdering the poor cat! and I can't just sit here and watch that!

Just then, a well built man who was half unconcious and covered with so damn much blood and sweat was being dragged by two strong arkwos surrounded by other Arkwos.

The Arkwo holding that man's left hand now took hold of his right hand too like he was tying them together. I gasped. What the hell are they doing?!?!?! That poor man could barely move an inch and they were tying his hands together in such a position that it would seriously hurt.

That man tried to free himself . Pulling himself and trying to jerk them off.

But the Arkwo standing behind him, hit him sharp in the back at the point where the backbone ended earning a long,loud agonising groan in return. the bent over man groaning in pain was pulled up in a standing position by hair.

He was pushed forward. But when he refused to move, he was punched in the stomach continously untill he gave up. The amount of blood and sweat dripping from his forehead increased.

I pinched my eyes shut as I couldn't watch anymore.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My lips were quivering at the sight that I just saw.  There was still blood at the spot where that man had once stood.

who was he? and why was he beaten up so badly?

"umm.. who was he?" I asked in a shaky voice to the gaurds outside my cell.

They turned to look at me and sighed before answering "wolqua."

"what did he do?" I whispered

"nothing up till now I guess."

"what do you mean?" how can they do this to him if he hadn't done anything.

"He was caught at our ocean border." he told it so smoothly as if it was nothing.

"and you guys beat him that much just for that?" I was baffled

"he could be a spy! " picking out reasons because they knew they were wrong.

How could Arkwos do this? we were supposed to be the good ones. I always cosidered Wolquas as bad.

By now one thing was clear to me: No one was wrong at their side.we were made to hate each other because that's what our ancestors have been doing for past 50 years.
