I gasped when the cold water hit my face. Sighing heavily I tried to open my tried eyes. Someone held my chin in a tight grip and shook my head in a vigorous way. I winced; the left side of my face was throbbing in pain. My cheeks were swollen and my lips were badly cut. Taking deep breaths I opened my eyes with great struggle, still I could only half open my left eye. I think it is also swollen from the hit I received yesterday.

They were trying to make me tell where the evidence is but I didn't give in. I received numerous beating and the last one remembers was the hit I received from that monster on the left side of my face. After that I lost my consciousness. I blinked my eyes to get a clear view. My whole body was aching.

When he was dragging me towards his van on that night I felt a sting on my neck and in a few moments I blacked out. When I opened my eyes I was in a room which looks like a basement. I was sitting in a chair and my hands and legs were tied to it.

There were many wooden boxes stacked up around the room and the pungent smell filled inside the room made me want to throw up. Then I saw that scary face looking at me with his wicked eyes. I felt my hair rising behind my neck in fear.

His lips curled into a sinister smile while taking slow steps towards me. He stood tall in front of me and before registering what is going to happen I felt both my cheeks stinging with his slaps. I tasted blood in my mouth and black dot appeared in my eyes. He gripped my hair tightly and yanked back my head so that I was looking at his face.

"Bitch, you gave me a hard time in finding you. For one year you mocked me with your disappearance." He said gritting his teeth. He bends down, gripping my hair more tightly and pulled me towards his face. I could smell the alcohol and paan in his breath. I tilted my head sideways in disgust.

He scoffed at my reaction. "Now tell me where is the evidences, if you don't want to suffer more." He screeched at me.

The rage in me was building up. The images of my parents and Riya di flashed in front of me. He killed everyone dear to me. The image of Sid lying unconscious on the road made my heart twist with pain. How is he now? Is he okay? Did something happen to him? A cold shiver ran down my spine with that single thought. My eyes sting and I looked at him with my burning eyes. The man in front of me was a monster. There was not even a hint of humanity inside this devil. I could feel the fire inside me burning my soul. I spat on his face with all the disgust and rage in me.

He closed eyes and wiped his face with his palm. When he opened them again it was like acid running down my throat and burning my stomach with terror. He gave me a spine chilling glare and raised his leg to kick me in stomach. I fell down with the chair. I coughed and spit blood. I wanted to clutch my stomach but my hands were tied up with duct tapes. He moved closer to me and the beatings started till I lost my consciousness.

I licked my dried lips and slowly raised my head. With my blurred vision I looked up to see more people standing in front of me. One of them was a lady in a white saree. She looked at me with an emotionless face. She was wearing a huge red bindi on her fore head and her hair was made into a bun at the back of her head. She has wrapped her saree pallu around her torso and beside her a huge man with long grey hair and beard was standing. He was well build and he was also wearing a long white dress and a red silk cloth with golden embroidery has draped across his torso. He was looking at me with creases on his forehead. A strange but strong awful aura surrounded him. Oh so he came here to see me, the great Babaji.

The devil and three of his henchmen was also standing next to them. My head was spinning and I struggled to keep my eyes open. My throat felt dry and my stomach was growling. I haven't had any food in hours. Suddenly someone gripped my hair and lifted my face up. I groaned in pain.

"Didn't she tell where it is?" A deep manly voice asked. Silence followed and all men hung their head low. "Then what hell were you doing you irresponsible idiots?" The voice roared making everyone flinched.

I opened my eyes again and saw the man in white glaring angrily at the men. "She is not opening her mouth Baba. She is trying to be tough but don't worry Baba she will spill it soon. I haven't even started my game yet." The devil said while tightening his grip on my hair and giving me an evil smirk.

Babaji looked a bit calm now. "I don't care what you do with her, by tomorrow I want that video in my hand." He said firmly and turned to live but that lady held his wrist making him stop. He looked at her and she whispered something in his ears and then looked at me.

He gave me a side glance as if he was assessing me and he looked back at her and nodded. The devil holding me yanked my hair again making me groan in pain. "Kaali." The man in white called him and nodded his head in a no. He raised his hand and gestured him to go near him. He forcefully pushed my head before leaving my hair and stalked towards Babaji.

They both spoke something in low voice and looked at me. Kaali looked at me furiously and gritted his teeth. Disappointment flashed on his face and then he spat the paan in his mouth to the floor and walked out of the room. The lady gestured something to the rest of the men and they all walked out of the room closing it behind them. I glared at the door for a little longer before my eyes gave up.

............................................................................................................................................

I don't know how long I have been out. I woke up when someone patted my cheeks and sprinkled some water on my face. I opened my eyes and saw the women in white saree looking at me curiously and concerned. She slowly removed the duct tape around my hands and legs. I lazily leaned back to the chair with no strength left. She sighed looking at me and held a glass in front of my lips. She cupped the back of my head and helped me to sip the water.

I drank the full glass hungrily. I sighed in relief. She took out something wrapped in newspaper which was covered in her saree pallu and handed it to me. Frowning I took it in my hands and opened it. There was two rotis. I looked up to her face in a questioning look. "Eat it." She said in a monotone.

I was confused. Why is she helping me? Did they add something in this? I again looked at her. She sighed. "I haven't added anything in that. You can eat it." She said. My stomach was growling so hesitantly took a bite from the roti. It felt so good to have some food to fill your empty stomach so without giving much thought I ate the rotis eagerly.

I finished the rotis fast and drank all the water that was left in the bottle. I sighed in satisfaction. "Do you have anyone outside who could help you?" She asked again. I looked at her with creases on my forehead. "Why are you helping me?" I asked her. Is this one of their plan to get the evidence from me? To make me trust one of them and get what they want?

She sighed. "Girl, look we don't have much time left. If you want escape you have to get out of here by tonight. After tonight they are moving you out of here. And that will be your end. If you have someone who you trust give me the contact details I will contact them for you. I could help them to get you out of here." She said in a serious tone.

"Why should I trust you? What if this is one of your ploy to get the evidences?" I asked her.

"Do you have any other choice other trusting me?" She asked in mocking voice. I looked away. She sighed again and shook her head. "See we don't have much time left. Kaali will be back in any minute. So I am asking you for the last time do you have anyone you trust?" She asked again.

I took a breath closing my eyes tightly. "Siddharth, his name is Siddharth Aryan." I said and looked at her.

I gave her his number and she walked out of the room locking it again. I don't know how he is or what he is doing but I hope he will come for me and save me from these monsters.

............................................................................................................................................

I don't know how much time has passed. It has been hours since I saw that lady. For my luck no one came back after that. I sat on that chair restlessly. Did she get to contact Sid? Will he come for me? Can I ever escape from these people? Will I make it alive out of here? My mind was a mess. I was scared to death and every time I close my eyes that monster's face would pop up in front of me.

It's been so long that I had a good sleep. After my parents' death and my daring escape from that man, my nights were always filled with nightmares. I was suffering from severe anxiety and the flash backs keep coming back to me, no matter how hard I tried to not think of that. Every time I close my eyes I saw him slicing my father's chest and blood oozing out from his body as if everything was happening again.

Closing my eyes I rubbed my palms on my face and kept my elbows on my knees. Suddenly the door burst opened. I eyes flew open to see the face I feared the most. I stoop up in fear. He had this ominous look on his face. He staggered towards me indicating that he is drunk.

A cold storm formed inside my stomach giving a shiver all over my body. Gulping in fear I took steps backwards. "Yamunadevi, that bitch. I know she will do something to piss me off. Now she wanted to present you for that D'souza today night to satisfy him and make him to agree with the deal so that Babaji will be happy with her." He scoffed bitterly.

Suddenly he yanked me towards him encircling his dirty hands around my waist. I gasped and my blood went cold. "But you know what, I am not going to let her do what she wants. You are mine. I wanted you from the first day when I saw you." He said while smirking at me.

My eyes bulged in fear and my breath became ragged. I tried to get out of his grip but he was too strong. "Leave me. Don't touch me." I screeched at him hitting his chest.

"Do you have any idea how turned on I am when I see the fear in your eyes. But still you are trying to be feisty and brave and that is what making me want you more. I wanted hear your screams and begging's for mercy when I play with your body." He said and dropped his head to the crook my neck and inhaled my scent as if it is some kind of drug.

I flinched in disgust and fear. I tried my best to get out his grip. My eyes started to flow and fear was consuming me. I somehow managed to push him back and involuntarily my hands flew up to reach his cheeks.

I looked at him in shock and with my heavy breathing. My palm was stinging from the slap I gave him. His head has turned sideways and slowly he looked at me with his red burning eyes. They were beyond furious. He gritted his teeth and his lips curved upwards. He was ready to pounce on me.

With fear for my life without knowing how escape I turned around in the hope of keeping a distance from him but for my dismay he was faster than me. He gripped my hair from behind making me stop. His grip was so tight that I felt my hair was coming out of my scalp. I screamed and tried hit him with my tiny hands and legs.

"You bitch." He screamed and tossed me towards the cement pillar my head hit it hard and I felt the sharp pain on my temple. Before I could cup my head I was again pulled back by my hair. He made me face him. "You little slut, you slapped me? You dared to raise your hand against me? You are so gonna pay for it. I am going to make you wish that you were never born." He said and slapped me across my face.

Failing to keep my balance I fell on to the floor making the glass frame leaning against the wall fall with me and breaking into pieces. I lay on the floor tried and out of energy. My head was paining like it is going to burst at any time. My eyes were starting to get heavy and black dots started to appear in front of them.

Suddenly he dragged me by pulling my leg which made the glass pieces pierce into my skin giving me scratches all over my back. I screamed in pain and tears staining my face. He left my leg and I looked at him with my half opened eyes. He then stamped on my shin with his boot making the glass pieces cut deep through my flesh. A blood curdling scream escaped my mouth and it brought a satisfied smirk on his face. He slowly pulled away his boot. "That's it. This is how you are going to scream now. This is just a start." He said giving me a spine chilling smirk. I was so helpless, my body was giving up and my eyes were becoming heavy. I saw him unbuckling his belt before my eyes were closed. Tears were flowing nonstop from eyes and my heart was beating rapidly. I felt a weight over my body and a tug at the waistband of my pants. I wanted to scream for help but I couldn't move an inch. Dejectedly I got ready to embrace my death. But before I lost my consciousness completely I felt the weight over me pulling away.
