"Just let me go, I heard you earlier, you didn't want him to hurt us, just let us go!"

Her gaze hardened at my words, she dropped the tray carelessly and turned to leave.

"it doesn't matter what you saw or heard , I'll always have to do exactly as he tells me".

"He treats you like trash!You don't have to do what be says!" I knew it would be futile but I still wanted to try.

She spun around to face me, her gaze flaring up.

"You should understand me more than anyone else!Your family betrayed you but you still made sacrifices for them isn't i..."she paused, her eyes widened as if she shouldn't have spoken that aloud.

I would find them, who ever it was would surely beg for death and mercy, one I wouldn't give.

I didn't want to think of all the possibilities of everything that might have happened in this span of time.

My sanity was slowly slipping away.

We still couldn't get their location, when we got there, there had been a few dead bodies that belonged to our men.Who ever it was had been smart enough to remove every trace that could lead us towards them.

There had been no call for ransom, it made the whole situation even more risky and dangerous.
