CHAPTER 20: In Confusion
1110 Words
GICCA'S POINT OF VIEW
I coughed as I inhaled smoke that hurts my nose. I slowly opened my eyes. Where are my friends? Ali? Lance? Rique? I covered my mouth at the same time as a cough went out my mouth. My throat hurts so much, I just gulped to get rid of the irritation in my throat.
I strolled my gaze around, but saw only smoke. What is the meaning of this? Where am I?
"Ali? L-Lance?" I cough roughly, "R-Rique!" I called them. Thinking that maybe they are just here, but I heard no answer.
I crawled weakly but I stopped immediately due to my sudden headache. "Ugh!" I moaned in pain. I grabbed my head and squirmed. I gritted my teeth in pain. Where am I? What happened to us? What is happening?
The last thing I remember was, they asked us for the red key even though we did not know anything about the red key.
And they gone mad, they thought we were hiding that sutpid red key. What the hell is with that red key?
"S-Somebody... h-help... me..." I wanted to shout but my voice was weak. I still writhe in pain and grit my teeth. What happened to me? What did they do to me?

"Wake up, woman."
I was stunned when I suddenly felt cold water all over my body. Trembling, I opened my eyes and saw the water lying on my skin. I bit my lip so hard, trying to endure the coldness.
"Don't do that to her! If I get out of here, I will kill you!" I heard Lance shouted at a distance. He took my attention.
I felt my cheeks and eyes heated up when I saw the situation of my friends. The three of them are handcuffed while sitting on a chair in front of me(one chair per person). Ali and Rique are unconscious. I felt a little relieve when I saw Ali got no bruises or any signs of brutality, she's fine, but I still couldn't get the fear out of my mind.
My tears welled up. What are they doing to us? The man holding a bucket laughed out loud, that's probably what he used to pour water on me. "The moment you get out of there, is also the moment you die." he said.
Lance frowned and glared at the man as he moved quickly—trying to get out of handcuffs. But he didn't succeed.
I hugged myself because of the embracing of the cold to my pale body. Why am I not handcuffed like my friends? Why do I have to be poured with water like an animal? I wiped my tears after blowing those questions on my mind.
He walked away and man, just about a few minutes he came back carrying the same bucket. But this time, it is full of water. My jaw dropped when he poured it on Ali, Rique also got wet for the reason that they were just next to each other. Both of them immediately opened their eyes.
Ali began to cry, "Let me go! What have I done to you? I have a lot of dreams in life! Please... let me go... Let me live..." she shouted with a slight hiccup to be heard in her voice. She was obviously not on her self, elusive and anxious. She also doesn't seem to know that we are here. What did they do to her? I can sense how terrified she is. Poor Ali.
"Shut up, woman!" the man shouted.
He shook his head and gave Ali a loud slap on the face. Ali's head moved sideward with force. Redness formed on her white and clear cheek.
Even though my eyes were watering, I was still able to furrowed my forehead. "Fvck you! Try to repeat what you did and I will kill you!" I threatened him as tears continued to flow from my eyes down to my cheek.
The man just laughed, "Do it again?" he knelt down slightly in front of Ali, he touched her chin, and then threw her head with the super strongest force he had.
Ali's eyes were voluntarily closed. She was probably hurt and felt dizzy by what the man did. I can't help but pour more tears! I do not want to see it. I do not believe this is true! I hope if I open my eyes, I hope to find out that this is just a bad dream!
I clenched my fist and ran towards that man. I was enveloped in rage. The pain, weakness and coldness was vanished in my mind, was completely taken over by rage.
I want to kill him!
While I was in the middle of running, I grabbed the secret knife from my secret pocket, and buried it in his neck.
"Gi .... cca .... no ..." Lance shouted.
It was as if everything was in slow motion. Lance shouted very loudly as my hand walked towards the bastard's neck. Everything returned to normal when I let go of the knife, and left it buried in his neck.
His eyes widened at what I did, he let go of the bucket, he grabbed himself by the neck, and he vomited blood while coughing. I, on the other hand, was stunned, stepped back three steps, and slowly put my sight at my blood-stained hand. My heartbeat increased. My vision dimmed even more because of the heavier tears. What have I done?
"Oh, that stupid. Throw his body right away, bury him, and burn him." voice of the familiar man.
I, all of the sudden, felt a warm hand squeezing my neck. I close my eyes because of the severe choking. I tried to remove the hand but it was squeezing too tight.
"Don't be so good, Rick. She might die." a laughed from a familiar voice was exposed. There I realized who he was, it's Miko.
"Aye, boss." said the man who was holding my neck, and pushed me directly on the floor. My body collapsed, causing me to kiss the floor.
"Miko. Stop at once." a familiar voice formed in the distant direction. I could not turn around immediately because of the pain of my body—from falling. I couldn't see him but I know it was him.
I am sure who owned that voice. I immediately felt relieved, the rescue had finally arrived to save us.
I heard Miko laughed, "My dear brother is here. Welcome home, Mc." he said.
I frowned. Mc? I know who owns that voice, Eliote owns it. How did it happen to be Mc?
