Harlow's pov:
I am not angry at her. I almost know her situation after looking her in the dungeon. I want to know what happened. What made her like this? I feel sad for her. I failed to find her. I don't know what relation she had with Elon. What made her end up here? And why the hell does Elon has a dungeon in his freaking home.
"I'm sorry Harlow." I heard her say from the cell beside mine. She spoke again
"I wish I had a choice to tell you Harlow. I am really sorry."
"It's okay. Don't worry I understand" I said.
But I don't understand anything. I don't understand why she didn't tell me before if Elon was a threat to her.
"I have a lot to explain Harlow. I have a lot to say. But I can't tell you. Not yet. Please wait for sometime you will know everything."
" It's ok if you need time Gemma. I am not angry at you." Then I got it her real name might not be Gemma.
"What is your real name?" I asked her. It's funny that I don't know the name of my first ever best friend.
" It's Eliana. Eliana Gemma Dark Wood"
I smiled even though she couldn't see me. She didn't lie to me.She was suffering with something which I failed to notice.Then a peaceful silence surrounded me. I kept thinking about how my life had changed since I came to London.
How different these 4 years are compared to the rest of my life. Every thing changed my life has changed from getting scared by watching the jails to actually being in a cell.
I feel good after a long time I got to speak with Gemma. I couldn't stay angry at her after seeing what she has been through all these years.We spoke all the things that happened in our lives after we got seperated. That night in the cell we spent talking to each other without even having a blink of sleep.It felt nice after talking to someone close to my heart after such a long time.This moment became more special for me since Ivy is dead and Pheobe is missing.
I don't know what my fate will be in the morning. I literally slapped Elon and I was thrown in a dungeon. All the night I kept talking to Eliana. Yes I have learnt to call her that and I like the name Eliana more than Gemma.
Soon sunrise occured I can see it from the little window in the cell.
"Will he kill me?" I asked Eliana.
"He won't. Trust me you are gonna be safe" she said.
"I don't think so" I said.
With that we fell into a comfortable silence.
...............................................................................
A whole day passed. A guard brought meals for me and Eliana. No sign of Elon since morning. Its getting dark. Even though I have no one to worry about my disappearance If Mrs.Jones found out she might be concerned.
Me and Eliana spoke for sometime then we decided to have some sleep since last night we didn't have any.
I was woken up by a sudden loud bang. I woke up to see someone open the basement door. I can only see the outline of the person. I looked at the window to see its still dark in the outside. That person is coming closer. I don't know if I am scared but I have a bad feeling about this.
He finally came near my cell now I can clearly see him. It was the person I last expected to be. It is that douche who kidnapped Pheobe. I was in a trance for a few minutes. He is looking like he is ready to be prey for my anger. I am more than ready to give him what he deserves but now where Pheobe is is my main priority. I controlled all the anger that i wanna drop on him and slowly walked towards the door my cell. Each step I take is encouraging me to tear him into pieces but I controlled my anger and walked towards him. Now the bars are the only barriers between us.
"Where is she?" that was all i asked.
"safe" he replied looking down.
"Why?" I asked him.He might have understood the meaning.
He said " I had to you will understand soon".
His eyes are begging me to leave the topic but i have lot of questions and anger to take it on him but i need to think first before i act.
"Why are you here? By the looks of it you came here by your will why?" I asked him.
"To save you"he said.
I am confused. Why is he trying to save me?Whats in it from him?
"Is this a game for you, kidnapping girls huh now you are planning to kidnap me. I don't know how you know that I am here but its better if you take a step back I am not gonna fall in your trap."
he looked hurt i almost felt sad but then I remembered that he kidnapped my friend.
"Please understand lu..Harlow ,please come with me, please I beg you understand me"
"Do you think I am that foolish to fall into your tricks?"
He was looking sad like he was hurt but I am not going with him I'd rather die here but I am not gonna trust someone who kidnapped my friend.
"Please Luna" he said.
Who the hell is Luna?
"Excuse me you might have mistaken me for someone my name is not Luna."
"sorry Harlow please just trust me for this once please."
What the hell is happening here? This is so crazy first Elon has some freaking dungeons in his house next he puts me in a dungeon and I find my best friend who has been missing for 5 years in the cell beside and my friends kidnapper is here to be my knight in shining armour.
"Harlow" Eliana calls me I didn't know she was awake this whole time.
"Yes" I said.
"Do you trust me?" she asked. Why is she asking me this question now?
"yes" i replied.
"Then go with him."
