Ira woke up as she felt the sun's warm rays fell on her face.
'Ahhhh!!!!it's morning again.I should go to work.Where is Pia?I should wake her up lest she will be late to college.'
As usual, Ira was calculating all the things she should complete within the day.
But she felt that something was wrong.
'Wait,I think something isn't right.Something happened yesterday.What was it?And where am I now? Gosh, what happened to me?'Ira felt a throbbing pain in her head and she tried hard to remember the past day's events.
It took her a few minutes to assess her surroundings and remember everything.
'Holy Crappp!!! How could I forget?
We were kidnapped by the devil.But I think his enemies have attacked him last day.Then what happened??? Arghhhh!!! I hit my head last night and fainted.That explains why I have a pain in my head.'
She was lying in the floor of the cellar.She could see that one side of the cellar was ramshackled due to the explosion.
'Wowww!!!That explosion was my saviour'
She couldn't help herselves from applauding the correct timing of the explosion.
She then looked around her to see the devil. She had a gut feeling that he might not have survived the night.
She was sure that she heard his screams last night.
'Ahhh, I couldn't see him suffering last night.Stupid me!!! I should have been more careful.But who knew that the magic they used were so powerful.It is not safe like they show it in the movies. I should never trust movies.I missed my lifetime chance to see him suffer;atleast I heard him hissing in pain.
But where is the group of men??? Have they gone??? If they are gone;it means less trouble in the way. Now I should just rescue Pia and leave this place.'Ira felt happy knowing that the devil died and there are no possible threats ahead.
She can continue to live a peaceful life with Pia.
Suddenly she heard someone's footsteps.
Unconsciously, she put her guard on and prepared herself for a fight.
However, it wasn't the devil instead it was that silent man from last night.
"Haa, you have woken up.We thought you would be unconscious for a few days as you was exposed to the 'Devil Slayer Spell'.
Sorry about that, it's just that the spell just went out of control.
But it's good that you are not much affected."
She heard a chirpy voice beside the silent man. She hadn't noticed him as she was focused on the silent man.
The chirpy voice belonged to the man who she recognised as one of the leaders other than the silent man.
However, she couldn't believe that he was the same from last night.
Last night, this chirpy man was nowhere to be seen. Rather she saw a man who was stabbing the devil with his icy words.
{Well, the devil deserved more}
He was like tsundere and she remembered the terrifying aura that possessed all over him last night.
"Hey Gaira, Are you listening to us???"
Ira was shocked realising that they knew her
"Who are youuuu??? How do you know me?Are you the devil's allies?"Ira shot out a string of questions at the two men.
" Nonnooo, we are not Asher's allies. It is like we are more like your wellwishers.
We came here to help you."The chirpy young man answered her questions without any hesitation.
Ira was satisfied hearing his answers but she didn't fully trust them.
She was about ask about Pia when she saw that the silent man eyeing the other one . She felt that they came to tell her something.
"What is it that you are hiding? Telllll!!! "
Ira wanted to hear what they wanted to say immediately and wanted to go home with Pia.
She cannot wait to see Pia and ask for her forgiveness.
"That, you should not panic.It is something big. We know that you will be hurt hearing it but you should know it, so be prepared."
The chirpy man hesitantly started to explain things to her.
Ira felt that it wasn't a good thing that man was gonna say.
"It's that your sister... "
"Nooooooo.....donot tell me that she is no moreeeee.I don't want to hear any of you"The men heard Ira shrieking like she went insane.
They felt that she might lose her sanity at the moment.
Well, they too know how important her sister was for her.
"I want to see her" They heard her saying in between her sobs"pleaseee!!!!"
*****************
They took her to another cell. The men couldn't bring themselves to tell her what happened to her sister.
So, they thought it would be best if they take her directly to the cell.
It was somewhat dark in there even during daytime.The cell reeked of blood's stench No one can stay in such a gross situation. One could hear mice and cockroaches running around the cell.They might have been feeding on the dead bodies that the devil slaughtered. She could feel that hundreds of life have died in there tortured by the devil.
But she hadn't seen this cellar when she was brought along with her parents.
'Is Pia in here?How can she stay in such a place? Lord, she maybe scared to death.Pia, sorry I was late'Ira's felt guilty thinking her Pia staying in such a place.
"Piaaaa, are you in there???" she walked into the cell to see Pia.
Suddenly her feet stumped on something on the ground.
She saw that it was a human body.
"Piaaaaa" Ira never thought that Pia was the one lying there.
Even though the chirpy man warned her, she thought that the devil won't go against his words. She should have never trusted that a*shole.
Her body lost all its strength at the sight that lay before her.
"Piaaaaa, please wake up.....
I only have you. Please wake upppppp....
pleaseeeee!!!!!!! I will be all alone in this world without you... Please open your eyessss!!!You can't leaveeee me....
I can't live without youuuuu, pleaseeeeee
Piaaaaaa..... " Ira tried to wake up Pia.
She felt all her world crumbling down seeing Pia soaked in blood.
Her wails filled the cell. Her life was lying there in a semi-dead state.
