Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Ensnared by Darkness

Gavi's heart raced as he sprinted through the dimly lit alley, his breaths ragged and pulse pounding. The urgent call about Nikshay's danger had driven him to this forsaken place, his senses heightened by a mix of adrenaline and anxiety. The darkness seemed to shroud every corner, whispering secrets he was yet to uncover.

Arriving at the designated location, Gavi's keen eyes scanned the surroundings, his mind on high alert. But there was nothing – just an eerie emptiness that sent shivers down his spine. Before he could make sense of it all, a sudden impact struck the back of his head. The world blurred, then faded into blackness.

Gavi's consciousness returned to a dimly lit cell, his body aching and stomach gnawing with hunger. The stark reality of his situation pressed down on him, the confinement a stark contrast to the open skies he had once known. It felt like a jail, yet something was amiss – the whispers of his thoughts echoing off the cold walls.

"This can't be jail," Gavi muttered to himself, his voice a solitary sound in the silence. "It's different, but what is this place? Why keep me alive?"

The passing hours felt like an eternity, the slow drip of time heightening Gavi's frustration. Each moment brought a renewed determination to unravel the truth, to fight against the invisible chains that bound him. He observed every nuance of his surroundings, a silent observer in the shadows.

Gavi's mind churned, analyzing every piece of the puzzle. As he strategized, his thoughts crystallized into a resolve to confront his captors, to unmask the motives behind his confinement. The whispers of the city's secrets intertwined with his determination, fueling his desire for freedom.

"Why am I still alive?" Gavi's voice held a steely edge. "I won't be ensnared for long – this darkness will reveal its secrets."
