Chapter 74 - The Task

Diana didn't go far before someone grabbed her from behind. Her waist was held tightly with one hand while the other hand covered her mouth. Feeling the strong grip on her, she struggled to free herself but the person holding her is just too strong

"Easy." the person said in a firm tone, more like a command, it's a male voice.

Seeing Diana still not giving up her struggling, "calm down or I will snap your neck right now." He threatened.

Hearing the word 'snap her neck'; Diana calm down immediately, as the person's hand is on her mouth, snapping her neck will surely be easy.

She wondered who it could be, the voice does not belong to Boyle who is the only man she had issues with before coming here, she wouldn't mistook the voice of someone that tried to assault her anywhere, and she's sure it's not this person holding her right now.

"Good girl." The person said, "I'm going to move my hand from your mouth now, if you shout I will kill you, no one is around here to save you, do you understand?" He added.

Diana nodded her head in understanding, her inside trembling in fright, but this is not the time to let fear take over, she needed to escape. Whoever it is must not be an ordinary person. Actually, this place itself is not ordinary, she herself has only been here for a while and could already detect a movement without fully being conscious, who knows how long this person has been here, who knows what he's capable of, she really need to escape from him.

Seeing her nod her head; without releasing her waist, the guy slowly moved his hand from her mouth. He underestimated her, even though she hasn't begun combat training; she's not bad at fighting from the start, she and Rihanna rarely lasted a week without beating up each other, coupled with the few training she undergo on how to be in total control of her body, she's not entirely useless.

Immediately the hand left her mouth, she hung her head down in front of her like she gave up. All of a sudden, with full force; she swing back her head and hit the guy. The sound of teeth clattering could be heard. Diana head hurt due to the impact, but she's not done. Immediately the hold on her losened, she turned around in a flash and throw a kick at his third leg. The guy avoid the kick and reached for her, before she could run once again. The sound of the guy's teeth hitting the floor could be heard.

Diana is not sure how many teeth he lost, but knew he got it hard. She groaned as the guy hand tightened around her neck choking her.

"You're pretty interesting." The guy said, not showing any sign of pain from his lost teeth. The guy replaced his hand and soon Diana felt a cold metallic object, which is no doubt a knife or probably a dagger on her neck. Shiver run down her spine as she whimpered.

"If you try that once more, I won't hesitate to kill you." The guy said flatly.

"Y-yes." Diana stammered.

"I need you to do something for me, If you refuse I will kill you and Maniac will be next, do you understand?" He asked.

Diana had no idea who Maniac was, 'is that even a name?' She thought, but still nodded her head. She knew she can't escape this guy with force, she's powerless against him.

"Just so you know, I'm someone who has access to many things here, I can get to you and Maniac easily, so think twice before you act against my order. If you tell anyone about today, I will come find and kill you. Also, if you fail to do what I ask, I will come find and kill you, are we clear?" He asked.

"What do you want from me?" Diana asked, her body trembling as she could still feel the cold dagger in her skin.

"Stretch your arm forward." He instructed. Diana did as she was told and felt something placed on her palm, two things actually.

"The case contain needles for sedation, while the remote is for the beds above yours and your roommate's. Find a way to poke Fatty and Beast with the needles to sedate them and press the number on the remote to make the bed fall on them, and your job is done. They will die under the impact of the bed weight while on sedation and your life will be spared."

"I have eyes and ears in here, if you breathe a word about this to anyone; not only will I kill you, I will kill Maniac as well. So do as you're told, kill those girls and you're spared, you have three days to complete the task." The guy said.

Diana was released, before she could get a hold of herself, the light came on again, but the guy was gone. Her hand kept shaking as she held the needle case and remote, she reach her left hand to the back of her head that still hurt from the hit and saw blood.

Even though her head hurt, she knew she didn't get a cut. Looking at the floor; she saw a few drops of blood and three teeth on the floor. She bent down and pick them up with tears streaming down her face, before keeping the needle case and remote in her trousers pocket and left the place.
