Chapter 127: The Escape Plan

Nora continued to keep her eyes closed and lean against the wall. Whoever the perpetrator was, they were probably keeping an eye on her through the cameras. Naturally, she would not give them satisfaction by showing her fear.

The room was cold and she could feel the temperature dropping, making her shiver. Her hands were bound so tightly that they had begun to lose feeling, making it difficult to maintain her focus. She continued to scan the room from under her eyelids, trying to get an idea of where the door could be.

She was careful to not look in the direction of the skeletons even as her eyes continuously went to them. Somehow, she had a feeling that these skeletons had been put here specifically for her. These hinted at a plot much more sinister than she could imagine...

Time crawled, and Nora heard the small sound of a door clicking. Her eyes snapped open and she turned her head in the direction of the sound.

The concealed door opened, revealing one of the shadowy figures from before. Their face was hidden behind a mask. Her eyes narrowed as she took in other details of the person. He was a man. Taller than the average height. This meant he could not be Antonio. And there was no one else tall enough in their classmates so this was some other person.

Whoever the person was, she would have to use him. "Who are you?" She asked without a hint of vulnerability.

The man turned a surprise gaze towards her but then immediately masked the surprise and looked at her curiously, "Are you not scared?"

Nora shrugged her shoulders," Well, I am not too sure what I should be scared of? Why was I kidnapped and not directly killed. I mean you injected me with a drug but not with poison."

The man’s eyes narrowed and he laughed loudly," What a smart girl. Don’t worry. I will definitely kill you. But I will take my time. You see, the person who wanted you kidnapped, wants to torture you first."

"So, you want to torture me? Hmm..." The man expected the girl to cower in fear as she heard his threat but instead, she simply made a contemplative sound and said nothing more. He observed her expressions and could not even find a hint of fright.

As he continued to observe her, suddenly a smile came across her face and she said, a hint of threat in her words," That would be foolish, you know?"

This caught the man’s interest and he walked closer to her, squatting in front of her to look at her carefully," What would be foolish, little girl? Torturing you? Why? What can you do other than scream?"

Nora’s smile widened even further and she did not answer the question as she said instead," I hope the people you are in cahoots with are watching the live feed...What did you call me? Little girl? There is a big advantage to being a little girl, do you know that? It comes in handy?"

The man was even more puzzled by this and stared at Nora. Was the girl crazy or something? What was she even talking about? "What comes in handy?"

"Being a little girl of course. Because then people do not perceive you as a threat..."

As the man tried to understand what she said, Nora took this chance and quickly kicked up her leg, hitting the man’s nose directly with her knee. As the man collapsed to the ground, clutching his bleeding nose, she lunged at him, using all her self defense training by pushing her shoulder into the man’s mid rib, forcing him to lose his balance. And finally, when he was where she wanted him, face down on the floor, she pressed her knee onto the back of his neck, until the man was not able to breathe, and stared at the camera challengingly while the man who was supposed to torture her lay unconscious on the ground.

"See, if only, you’d not seen me as a simple little girl, this would not have happened..."

She then moved backwards, still on her knees and wiggled her shoulders, trying to send some blood to her hands which now felt numb.

It was the middle of the night and most of the students had started to wind down for the night. The large ground had been abandoned when suddenly a loud sound broke through the silence of the night," Attention, everyone! This is the police. We have reason to believe that a crime is taking place on the premises," bellowed the lead officer through a megaphone, sending shockwaves through the place.

The police moved swiftly, their boots crunching on the gravel paths as they fanned out across the large home. Doors were knocked upon, and the students were unceremoniously roused from their peaceful slumber. Confusion and fear spread like wildfire as everyone was abruptly awakened and dragged into the cool night air with barely something to cover themselves.

"What is going on?" A young man tried to speak but he was ignored, and the police continued to round up and throw everyone into the garden- guest or staff.

Soon, everyone was gathered there, and two buses were brought forward while an officer announced," All of you are under arrest."

As everyone was shocked and tried to understand the situation, they were unceremoniously thrown into the bus. With the panic set in as everyone shouted and questioned, no one noticed that Sara and Antonio had not been pushed into the bus but away from the crowd while the house had been emptied.

Sara and Antonio exchanged an uneasy glance wondering why they had been brought here but each could only make wild guesses in their heart as they waited for the officers. However when the door opened again, and their eyes met that of the man standing in the doorway, the two almost shivered in fear. The man did not waste any time talking and directly walked towards the two people...
