18. Hope Or Trap?
*Flashback Continues*
After many attempts, Sara finally fell asleep. It just felt like a minute ago, when she felt cold water being poured on her and she woke up with a jerk.
It took her a moment to process what happened. She looked around and saw a bucket thrown on the dirty floor and a pair of black boots standing in front of her. All the reality hit her back as she looked up to see the person that she once loved but now loathed: Harry Edwards.
"Get up, you filth!" He yelled and pulled her up carelessly. His appereance was still the same but he seemed to have gained his consciousness back. He wasn't tripping over or stammering anymore.
"What are you doing Harry!!! Leave me!" Sara yelled back as she tried to free herself from his grip, but failed miserably because he was much stronger than her.
"Shut it" he snapped as he took her out of the basement and up the stairs. They entered the living room and he pushed her on the sofa.
"Now, you will do whatever I say. Got it?" He asked simply as if it was no big deal.
"Excuse me? Who do you think you are? I am not a slave! I do not follow your orders, you fool!" Sara said surprising herself and Harry. Even she didn't know from where she got the courage to stand up for herself.
Surprise was replaced by rage as Harry's emerald eyes turned a darker shade. He went closer to her until their faces were inches apart and fear took over Sara. His hand reached the back of her head and pulled her hair back making Sara scream in pain. Harry smirked.
"You dare to go against me? I'll make your life a living hell if you don't do what I say, sweetheart" he said the petname with as much venom as he could.
"I don't give a damn. I am not a toy that you can play with whenever you want to! If you don't let me go, I'll find a way to escape... you can't stop me, Edwards" she said breathing heavily due to the pain. Harry left her hair and stood straight.
"What about your family? The ones who you 'love'? We don't want them hurt, do we?" He said, sarcasm evident in his raspy voice.
Sara's heart skipped a beat. Her family was the most important thing in her life and she couldn't let them get hurt. She was on the verge of tears. She knew Harry would make her do things that she would never do... but she loved her family as well.
"Why are you dragging my family into this?" She found her voice again. "Your problem is with me! Fight like a man, you coward!" She continued.
The smirk never left Harry's lips.
"Everything is fair in love and war, love" he said the famous line and left the house.
*Flashback Ends~Back To Present*
Sara whiped her tears away. This wasn't the time to shed tears... she had to stay strong. Soon all this would finish. She wouldn't have to pass information to Harry anymore. She wouldn't have to be a spy for him. She wouldn't have to help him. She would soon be free.
Her race of thoughts were interrupted by a man shouting at the top of his voice, which she recognised as Tim Victor's.
"The island Dunkirk is visible now, we are going to land soon!!!" He shouted.
Sara felt a knot form in her stomach. She would be free but she used Sumedh and Prajakta for it. She will feel guilty for that for the rest of her life. Harry didn't even tell her why he wanted Sumedh and Prajakta. Who knows what the two did to him to deserve this.
Sara looked back at where Rohit and Bandana were sitting but she found them asleep now.
Bandana's head was resting on Rohit's shoulder and Rohit's head was resting on the top of Bandana's head. They were holding each other's hand.
They looked so peaceful that Sara felt like dying at that time. They got involved in all this even if they were innocent.
Back in the room, Prajakta and Sumedh were getting really worried because they were gone since a long time.
"Yaar kaha reh gaye yeh dono? (Where are they gone?)" Prajakta said walking around the room. Sumedh was lying on the bed with a relaxed expression. He took a bite from the green apple that he was holding.
Prajakta stopped and turned towards him with a 'seriously?' look on her face. Sumedh raised his hands in a surrending manner and sat up.
"I am going to check where they are, you stay here" Prajakta ordered and made her way towards the door.
"Always the bossy one" she heard Sumedh say before she closed the door.
"I heard that!!" She shouted and left.
She found them on the floor sleeping. She smiled at their cuteness, but she had to wake them up.
She went near them and shook them slightly. They both woke up with a jerk.
"Kon he?! (Who's it?!)" Rohit said looking around and found Prajakta giggling. He rolled his eyes and got up. He offered his hand to Bandana who gladly took it.
"What happened?" He asked Prajakta. She cocked an eyebrow.
"I should be the one asking that question" she said crossing her arms.
"Nothing happened, idiot! Bandana needed fresh air and so did I, so we were just chilling out and I don't know how and when we fell asleep" Rohit explained.
Prajakta gave a cheesy smirk and nodded.
"Did you hear what they announced?" Prajakta changed the topic. They shook their heads.
"We will be reaching Dunkirk soon... we still have some time, let's go back" she informed.
They went back and found Sumedh sitting in the same position. They sat down and talked about random things.
"... and then I ended up having and hour detention for two whole weeks" Sumedh was explaining his tragic but successful prank on the history teacher. Everyone laughed at the end. Sumedh was really smart in planning pranks and never failed in any, but this one went really badly.
"Guys, do you really think we will be able to get out of here as soon as we reach Dunkirk and help Jack?" Bandana asked seriously after a couple of minutes.
"Well, hopefully yes. Afterall this story is about Jack... he is the key of getting out. So, we have to help him first" Sumedh answered. Bandana nodded.
Soon, another man announced that everyone should be present at the main deck, so they had to stop their conversation and go.
Now they could clearly see the island. This was their last hope... but they didn't know that danger was also waiting for them there.
*************
Heyo guys! How are you all doing? Okay there is a bad news. This school year is really important for me so I have to focus on my study. This means I will not be able to update very quickly.
I am currently deleting Wattpad because it distracts me a lot, but I will be back. Probably towards the middle of October? Because I have one week off.
So, see you guys soon, I am going to miss you all.
(I'll leave you something to do until I come back: go and watch Zayn's new song Dusk Till Dawn! It's lit!)
Thank you so much for your support, as always you are amazing.
Bye,
Diksha.
