Zara

THE ESCAPE

I was partially unconscious and couldn't even do anything....suddenly I heard footsteps coming from one of the corner of the room ,it appeared like someone was walking towards me ....

I couldn't make out who it was because of the darkness but then I felt a soft warm hand on my ripped lips...... Caressing them gently.

I knew who it was.. There's only one person apart from mum, who cares for me.

'Greg' I asked softly...

'Yes love'... He replied , his voice sounded like he was deeply hurt.

Greg is luke's one of the loyal men or should I say only loyal man... Luke trust on Greg is blind. h

He trust him unconditionally ..... I still don't believe that Luke could also trust someone...

But as far as it is about Greg , he is the only kindest person I came across in luke's empire. .. He is the only one who has heart among all these heartless men.... All that I couldn't understand all this time was how the hell someone like Greg ended up in this mess...

Greg has always been there to help me and mum in times of need... Since the day I was born...

Greg always defended me from luke's wrath......

But the one's he defended me from were minor I don't know how he could help me now from this....

As Greg was trying to sooth the pain by applying ointment on my lips ..... All I heard in this room was silence ...no... How is this room went silent . I started panicking.....

"Where the hell is my mum ?"I asked Greg and broke into sobs

I started screaming at him and demanded him to tell me where is my mum...

"He took her away with him"... He said sadly..

What! he took her ...

"Where the hell he took her? "I asked Greg...

Greg told me to relax.... Is he out of his head ,how could I relax when that monster has my mum..

I started screaming and shouting...... But then Greg clamped my mouth and he ordered me to be quiet if I want me and mum to be safe .I agreed to him,...like I had any other choice...

Greg told me that mum is safe and Luke isn't going to kill her he just wants to hurt her in the worst way possible and that is by hurting me... And when I say hurting. ...it is by raping me and then killing me in front of my mum..... He just wants to punish her for her doing... So mum has requested Greg to come and help me to escape....

"Like hell I would run away from here leaving mum behind " I told Greg... Stubbornness in my voice as always

But all I could not understand that is what has she done that the bastard wants to punish her for... ?

Greg calmed me down and asked me to be rational for this time... And reminded me that my irrational behaviour has only landed me here ... So I decided to listen to him. This is the least I could do to not make the situation worst than it already is.

He told me all about my mum and his plan of my escape and asked me to cooperate...

He unlocked the chain and handed me a bag with all my essential that my mum has packed earlier..

"Zara... Luke is not going to kill your mum, I can assure you of that .but love if you will not listen to me and your mum this time then there is no other way..... So zara stop being so difficult and trust me on this... I'll keep your mum safe but right now our priority is you... We have to save you zara... So take this bag and I'll guide you out of this castle and then we will part ways so that no one could know that I made you escape...." He took a little pause.

"Run far away from here and don't come back.... Until you have enough strength and support to fight Luke cause you already know who he is.... " Greg said his voice still was laced with pain... An unknown agony.

"But Greg how can I leave mum in this hell" I objected..

"Zara, here all I'm trying is to help you but I don't think you are considering being helped at all... Why can't you see that your staying would only worsen the situation..... I'm not asking you to run away and never come back for your mother.... All I'm asking is that go and find your strength to fight luke and comeback, save all of us from his wrath... " Greg snapped at my irrational behaviour.

Now it all made sense if I'll stay here luke is first going to hurt me and then mum. so it is good for all of us that I use this golden opportunity to escape and find something strong enough for me to fight luke....

So I gave in and agreed then Greg guided me out of the castle , hiding me from each and every eye cautiously... And assured me that till the time I won't find help and come back he will take care of mum like he always did... With this assurance I was finally out of this haunted castle, for the first time in my entire 21 years of life..under the blue sky. ...breathing the fresh air......
