Elena's POV
"I need water. I'm thirsty," I said out loud, as Auntie Catherine turned to leave.
She turned to face me. "Oh dear Elena, there is no drop of water here," she said, smiling widely. "If you are really thirsty, you can slit your wrist and drink your blood."
"I'm really in need of your help, Auntie Catherine. If you want to kill me, then do so but don't leave me thirsty," I said, fiercely.
"Fine, I will give you water, if you insist. I see how bold you have become," Auntie Catherine said and sighed.
"Thank you," I said, as she went to the table to get the water. I sighted a bunch of key coming out from her pocket. If only I could untie my hand, then I can reach for the key when she comes to my side to feed me the water.
