"Kill me! Yes sweetie. Kill me so that I follow you in every birth you take. Do you want to do all this again? Don't worry even in next birth, I Promise to kill our son. The next time I will not fail. I promise." Davis chuckled, signalling the lady to shoot.
"Aunty. Leave it. He is just trying to make you angry." James spoke up looking disgustingly at Davis.
Elizabeth quickly lowered down the gun as she looked at the man with anger.
"Ohh! Such a bummer. Tsk tsk!" The man chuckled and then looked at his men. "Take them to the dungeon and lock them up. Nobody can reach there ever." The man chuckled again as the two of them were now been forcibly taken inside the antique door. Their eyes were then tied by a black colored cloth as they were made to walk for several minutes. There were around forty men who were making sure that the two of them are taken to the dungeon. Davis knew that they both needed a large group of men to be handled, so he did not want to take any chance.
They both were trying to get free from the men, especially James who kicked away the man that held him.
"If you try it even once, we will shoot this lady. Think about it." The man spoke holding James with much difficulty. James who could not even see Elizabeth, did not struggle anymore. They both had no idea where they were being taken as they tried to decipher there surrounding from the noises and the smell.
Suddenly after a few minutes, all the noises ended, it appeared to them that they had entered some sort of suffocating enclosed room. There was a sharp stench of blood and something getting rot somewhere near them and the two of them were made to walk for a few more seconds and then suddenly pushed ahead. The push was so sudden and forceful that they both fell on the ground and they could hear the noise of something metallic, like a door being shut and then locked.
"Stay here to rot. That is what boss does to all people. Nobody can come here. Also, to find this place is almost impossible so do not even try to break the lock. Getting out of here is even more impossible.'' The men chuckled and then they could hear the footsteps of some people walking away from them. They heard another metallic sound this time even louder as if, another gate or door was being shut and locked.
They both quickly opened the black colored cloth tied on their eyes and looked around. There was hardly anything visible to them and they could not see even each other's faces. "Jammy are you alright my dear?"
"Yes aunty, I am fine." Came a reply from not far away distance.
They both tried to look around again, blinking their eyes several times but they could not see a single thing. "No wonder this place smelled so suffocating. There is not a single source of light or air. What place is this?" Elizabeth frowned hard stretching out her hands in front of her, trying to figure out what was around her.
"Hmm... I am trying to figure out something. Don't worry." James got up on his feet and walked to his left, with his arms stretched outwards. But suddenly he stumbled upon something and fell on the floor with loud thud. "Ouch. I stumbled across something. Looks like, there is something on the floor."
He bent down a little touching whatever he stumbled upon.
"Ok." Elizabeth nodded her head, waiting for James to see if he stumbled across something useful. She was hopeful that they will soon find a way out of this pitch black place.
James bent down and then shifted his hand a bit feeling the object. "Oh dear," he spoke up loudly retracing his hands away immediately.
"What happened Jammy? ARE YOU FINE??" Elizabeth spoke up alarmed, as she heard James' shocked voice.
"It is blood. It is all over my hand now. I stumbled on a dead body! I can feel its face."James spoke up in anguish hoping that it is not somebody from his family.
"Oh dear!" Elizabeth covered her hands in fear. "I wonder who that was."
They both took deep breaths, feeling extremely worried. Not just they were worried of getting stuck in this place but they were also worried about whose dead body it was.
Meanwhile....
Xio Lee and Stefen jumped out of the long tunnel without giving any second thought. The venom had already touched Stefen's feet and they were scared that soon there feet will be immersed in the venom. As they jumped they looked around to see, where exactly they had landed. They had reached a long and dark corridor which had a few fire lamps stuck on both the sides. It was another short heighted long path and they stared at each other in doubt.
"As it is, we do not have any other option." Stefen shrugged his shoulders and they both nodded their heads walking quickly on the rough cemented path. The height of the long path was just enough to fit them and it was pretty much narrow. So they had to walk one after the other. Xio Lee picked up two fire lamps from the wall and gave one to Stefen. They then walked ahead further amongst several rats and insects. The never ending tunnel was now turning more and more stinky as if the entire building's waste was collected inside it.
They both picked up two more fire torches, now holding two each in their hands. They then walked further ahead as the long corridor took a right turn. They expected to reach somewhere finally, but the long corridor continued even to the right and they looked at each other and sighed.
"This is probably built for the long snake to pass comfortably."Stefen sighed as they quickly walked ahead amidst several rats all over their feet.
"I just hope this does not lead us to another snake." Xio Lee pondered how difficult it will be to fight a snake, in this congested area.
