Chapter 5 - Chapter 5. A Prisoner(1)

Alice was still staring at her.

Her head moved towardd Alice and she asked, "Is there something wrong with my helmet? "

Alice snapped out finally and said, "No, it's nothing. "

Then the masked man who was grabbing his hand cuff's chains pulled it again and said, "Move your goddamn ass, devil. "

Alice smiled and said to him, "Hey, hey, hey, I am not a devil. "

That guy replied, "Shut your mouth. Another word you say may cost you your tongue. "

Alice only smiled and didn't say anything.

The other guy opened the cage right infront of the cage of that armored woman.

Then that guy pulled Alice's chain again and walked inside the cage, removed his hand cuffs.

Alice stretched his hands a little but then that guy punched Alice on the face and Alice fell on the ground.

Then he got out of the cage and locked it.

Alice stood up in pain and said, "That was a good punch you see. "

That guy replied back, "You really wants to lose your tongue, now don't you? "

Alice's cage was same as that of others. In each cage, there was a lantern.

Those guys walked out of that hall to that crowded one and probably from that place to out of this underground prison.

Alice sat on his place and looked at that armored woman. She was looking at the ground.

Alice questioned, "What did you do to get prisoned? "

She moved her head towards Alice.

Alice said to himself, "I can guess that she got imprisoned because she is from the Knight's camp but I am gonna play innocent. "

She said, "That's none of your buisness. "

Alice said, "You are a cold one, aren't you? "

She replied, "Again, that's none of your business. "

Alice asked, "Say, do you wanna get out of here? "

But then, she didn't say a word and remained silent.

Alice also stopped saying anything and like that seconds passed by. Those second changed to minutes and then to hours.

Alice was laying on the ground with his right leg over his left leg's knee and his head on top of both of his palm.

But then, he rose up and said, "Well then, I am gonna get out of here. Can't waste my time here. "

She finally said, "Do your worst. "

Alice smiled and said, "Thank you very much. "

Alice punched the bar infront of him and then pulled his punch back in pain.

He started moaning in pain.

She laughed and asked, "What were you even trying to do? "

Alice replied, "I was trying to get myself out by breaking this cage. "

She said, "How much stupid you are to think that? "

Alice replied, "If only I had my black blade, then I would. "

She remained silent after that.

And then, those masked guys again walked into the hall. Alice was still rubbing his right fist.

They were four in number. Alice said, "Oh, welcome back, losers. "

One of the masked guy looked at Alice and asked, "By what means are you calling us loser? "

Alice replied, "Didn't you all literally outnumbered me to win. "

That guy replied, "If you are trying to mock me to open this cage and have a fair duel with you, forget about it. "

Alice replied with a smile as if it was a sarcasm, "Ah, shit. You caught me there. "

But then, one of the masked guy punched the bar and said, "Shut your mouth, you goddamn devil. "

Alice smiled, leaned towards his fist and said, "If I am a devil, there's no need to include god while talking about me, loser. "

That guy got angry for some reason and said, "I am fucking gonna butcher you. "

But then, that composed masked guy said to that angry masked guy, "You, get out of here. Right now. "

That guy controlled his anger, bowed to him and got out of that prison as if he was his leader.

That guy said to Alice and that armored woman, "Your dinner will arrive soon. "

In that hall, there were manu better cages but all of them were mostly empty, and few had skeletons in them. The only living prisoners in this hall were Alice and that armored woman.

That masked guy turned around and got out of that hall.

Alice put his both hands on the bars of the cage and asked to the armored woman, "Hey, what kinda food do they serve? "

Her head moved towards Alice but she didn't say anything.

Alice sighed and said, "You see, I am a bit picky towards my food. I don't want it to be unhygienic and I've heard that prisons serve unhygienic food. "

But she just remained silent.

Many minutes passed and finally two masked guys came inside that hall again with a wooden plate in their hand. Both were carrying each and on those plates were some green vegetables only.

Alice looked at them and said, "They are not enough. You gotta give us more. "

That masked guy remained silent.

He put the plate on the ground, took out a dagger from inside of his cloak and put the edge of it on the floor of Alice's cage and Alice felt electric shock.

Alice fell on the ground because of the electric shock, same happened with that armored woman.

Both of them then opened their cage, put the plate inside and got out of their cage, locked it and got out of the hall.

Alice sat on the ground in pain.

He looked at that woman and thought, "How the hell is she still okay with all of this? "

That woman didn't remove her helmet, she didn't pick anything from that plate but only sit there.

Alice ate his food but she, she didn't.

Both of those masked guys again walked inside that hall, again pulled that dagger out, electrocuted them and took the plates out of the cages and locked them.

Alice was laying on the ground, looking towards that armored woman. Even though she had to go through that horrible electric shock, she sat still.

Alice asked, "Why didn't you eat your food? "

She remained silent.

Alice asked again, "Do you want to starve to death. "

And she just remained silent. Like that an hour or two passed and Alice fell asleep. While she, it was hard to tell whether she was sleeping or not as she sat still.
