what??

29.......

 i kicked in her stomach not very hard and ran out of the door of my cell which was open, at the threshold I halted for a second to look out for guards but there were none, I turned back to see her lying on the floor with her hands on her stomach, but I had no time for humanity so I picked up the knife she brought with her most probably for her self-defense and ran out in the direction I did not knew.

guards were everywhere but it was lunch time or dinner time so they were less in number well this is the Christmas I was waiting for, I ran forward effectively hiding from all the guards, all corridors and turns were the same, dirty white tiles, maybe it was made in this way to confuse hostages,

''hey you'', I heard a manly voice from behind, I wanted to turn but decided against it , I stood there rooted to the same spot engulfed in an unknown feeling of fear, his footstep became loud and clear and so his voice, a hand came up on my shoulder and I placed my hand on it and turned behind effectively twisting it , I took out knife from my pants, and within a split of a second I stabbed him in the back damaging his spine, as he groaned in pain, his groan brought me back as I left his hand letting his body fall on the floor.

I raised my hand to see blood on it, I have done enough encounters but this was different and for the first time I felt like a murderer, I so wanted to throw the knife away , but before I could have thrown it away I heard another shout, I

''There she is there'',

And something overcome my disgust as I tightened my hold on the bloody knife, and ran towards the first door that caught my eye.

as I opened the door I, blunt something hit my stomach as i felt all the air leaving my lungs and me throwing up some blood, as my weak legs gave up leaving me to fall on the floor.

my eyes slowly opened allowing some artificial light into my eyes, still dizzy with vague eyesight I tried to make out my surrounding, only to see similar walls with plaster coming off with dirt on it, I turned my head bit more to see the bulb that was my sun for god knows how long.

''how dumb you have to be to do something like this, sweetie you have set a benchmark that will be difficult to overcome''. I heard the so familiar voice once again as I squinted my eyes and scrunched my nose in disgust as I lifted my body off the ground with the help of wall.

he had the same bloody knife in his hand, he forwarded his hand to me while I crushed my body into the wall trying to get away from it, he placed the tip of the knife on my shoulder pushing it in a bit while I winced in pain as he slid it down my arm leaving a wound on my arm with blood oozing out, ''aaah'', escaped my mouth

''ah , the sound I was dying to hear so long , by the way do you know you shout in pain just like Ayesha'' , he said with a smirk while I could do nothing else to just stare at him with my eyes flooded with tear, not of pain but helplessness .

''Do you know I thought you were just like your mother, dumb, but now I know that I was wrong but was also partially right, do you see this knife, do you see this blood this proves that you are one of us, bad bad people''.vidyut said.

''you know what you are indeed partially true and partially wrong , I am not like my mother , I WILL DIE WITH PRIDE NOT BY YOUR HANDS, and I am not like you too I won't kill someone whom I love just because they don't love us back''. I retorted chuckling

''why do you think I am so kind to you, it is because you are Ayesha's daughter , and believe me you are as annoying as her'', vidyut said with his hands pushing back his hairs
