CHAPTER HUNDRED-THIRTY-NINE *Now it's time to put all this to an abrupt stop*Hannah gulped, her breath hitched in her throat.Don't panic! Don't waver!You got this! Or at least pretend that you do.Okay, here it goes ..."Yes, I was about to say something actually. If you could at least hear me out first..." Hannah spoke as calmly as a muse, holding her hands up in the air defensively.Anastasia snickered loud enough for her ears, her eyes glinting in sheer mischievous delight. She had that," Oh you fucked up this time, Hen" look on her face as the corners of her lips lifted in an amusing smile which was enough to discourage her to abort her mission right there and now and cower in shame.But heck no! It's too late to back down now. She had been putting up with their senseless games for far too long and now ...Now it's time to put all this to an abrupt stop.Amber glowered silently but remained silent. She seemed extremely curious as to what Hannah had to say.Good! Now she was g

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FORTY-ONE*Please Amber, please stop!*Amber's lips curled up in an amusing smile as she watched with admiration how rattled and frightened Hannah was.Hannah wriggled aggressively, moaning in pain."you seem to be enjoying it very much, Hannah. Perhaps I should aim for other delicate parts of your body hmmm?" Amber ribbed, with a smirk plastered on her face.Hannah shook her head frantically, groaning. Her cries of disapproval were trapped in the seal placed over her mouth.I don't want to! untie me this instant!She screamed in her mind, as the words refused to come out.Damn you, Amber! You would pay dearly for this! I hate you! Always and forever!"Why don't we make this more enjoyable huh? Wouldn't you agree guys?""of course! ", Anastasia said breezily and then a mischievous grin flirting on her lips she added, " in fact, I have a better idea.""pray, tell." prompted Amber with a wide grin on her face as impatience crinkled her brows.Anastasia chuckled cruel

CHAPTER HUNDRED -FORTY-THREE *So many loopholes to fill up. So many puzzles to answer*"And if it turns out that someone truly is here, then it's your fault and you will take the punishment without protests," Amber growled silently."But why? Has it ever occurred to you that someone might have lost their way and in that situation, I take the blame for something that was utterly unpredictable? " Hannah countered.Before she realized what she had done, the words had already slipped out!She gasped softly and clamped a hand over her mouth with widened eyes.Oh shit!She thought the words will remain in her head like they used to.But this time, she accidentally let them slip out.Or perhaps her brain is already having a mind of its own and needed to decongest all the emotions welling up inside of her that she had been bottling up for a long time.Her nostrils flared red, as her heart fluttered at an alarming rate.Anastasia and Arizona were gawking at her in surprise. Meanwhile, Amber

CHAPTER HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE*The battle is far from being over!*What?! What did Amber just say? Dispose of me? As in kill me and dissect my body parts and burn them in the furnace-like in the book titled "Native son" by Richard Wright which was based on a true life story. She shuddered in fear.What if that's what is about to happen to her?God please no!Someone, please help her!!Anybody !!!"How are we gonna do that?" Anastasia asked, visibly perplexed."We will think of something, anything. We just have to ensure that the cops or whoever the heck is out there, do not know that we are holding someone hostage." Amber said evenly."Okay, but how are we going to do that? She's obviously still bound up. Or should I untie her?"" So she would scream on top of her frigging voice and probably escape thus, putting our plans in jeopardy and subsequently exposing us, Certainly not!" Amber wheezed, her nostrils flaring.Anastasia was startled by her reaction and apologized profusely."I'm s

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FORTY-SEVEN*She's dead meat!*The rusty smell stemming from the metallic objects that she could not see clearly surrounded her.If anyone would have told her before that she would end up a real hostage like in the movies she watches so often, then she would have probably laughed out loud and dismissed such stupid jokes.Yeah stupid 'cause never in her wildest dreams did she imagine she would be locked up in a dark shitty locker room in an attic right in the belly of a creepy forest.Good lord!What the hell what she thinking?Coming down here like a fool? Blinding following their orders?If only she had told Mrs Hope the truth maybe something might have been done by now. From the look of things, Mrs Hope isn't someone who would just randomly report to the school authority knowing fully well what transpired during Allan's case. Notably, she was one the most fearlessly outspoken advocate in the case despite the fact the school management was in support of the case. And
