Another guard patted his shoulder and whispered in a teasing voice, âDonât you know that Debra, Caleb and Janiya are in a love triangle?â âWhat do you mean?â
âWhile Janiya isnât around, Debra and Caleb are having an affair.
Caleb is Adamâs guest, so itâs not a good idea to offend him.
Letâs just pretend that we didnât see any of it.
â
My face flamed, but I had no choice but to hold my tongue.
This was not the right time to get into an argument.
Caleb stood next to me, the serene expression on his face making it clear that the guardsâ words didnât bother him.
The further we went, the darker the dungeon became.
A few bulbs made sure we werenât thrown into total darkness.
But the Lights couldnât do anything to dispel the gloomy atmosphere.
Caleb held my hand tightly and led the way.
âAre you cold?â he asked in a soft voice.
Perhaps he noticed that I was trembling slightly.
I shook my head.
âYou donât have to act tough all the time,â Caleb said resignedly.
He took off his coat and put it on me.
The coat was warm, but more importantly, it smelled Like him.
It made me feel at ease instantly.
Ordinarily, the journey would have been difficult.
But with Caleb by my side, I was ensconced in a feeling of safety, and I couldnât shake the thought that there was nothing to worry about.
Soon, we arrived at the cell where Colin was imprisoned.
There was a dull bulb in the cell, but it was enough for me to see that it was narrow and small.
I could see that the muddy walls were covered with mottled and dried blood, and the ground was uneven and unpaved.

Colin lay still on the ground, motionless.
The wounds on his body had festered, looking very disgusting.
Flies flew around Colin, pecking at his open wounds, but he made no motion to shoo them away.
He Looked very miserable.
I felt nothing but joy seeing him in this state.
Colin deserved everything he was going through right now and more.
When I was haunted, it was Vicky who saved me at the cost of her life.
What happened to Colin was just retribution.
With the key in my hand, I opened the cell door.
As soon as the door opened, I hid behind Caleb and acted scared.
âItâs so scary!â
The guard had no choice but to step into the cell and try to rouse Colin.
âHey, get up.
You can Leave now.
Adam wants to see you.
â
At the sound of the guardâs voice, Colin shifted on the ground.
He groaned and whimpered a few times, and even struggled to get to his feet.
Eventually, he Leaned against the wall for support.
He looked around frantically.
His eyes went wide when he saw me.
âDebra! You bitch!â
All of a sudden, the lights in the dungeon were turned off, and the whole dungeon fell into darkness.
Debraâs POV:
Pretending to be scared, I shouted dramatically, âAh! Whatâs going on?â Amidst the darkness, I heard the voice of one of the guards.
âDebra, stay where you are.
Maybe the electricity was cut off.
Iâll go and check it out.
â
Suddenly, a small light pierced the darkness.
The guard took out his phone and was using it as a flashlight.
He left the cell to investigate the blackout, taking the Light with him.
