Prisoner

"Hm... where am I?"

Alex opened his eyes, looked around and found himself, half buried in a pit full of dead bodies.

"Ah...!"

His eyes widened in shock as his breathing turned rapid and before he knew his whole body was trembling in fear.

Other than his mouth, chest and the right hand, his complete body was buried down under.

He mustered all the strength that could be driven out of his body and tried to get out from the pile of dead bodies.

After taking a moment to recover his breath, he took a careful look in his surroundings.

His mouth opened in shock and eyes widened as he tried to make sense of what laid out in front of his eyes.

Dead bodies piled up like garbage, not one, not two... but more than enough to form a mountain of corpses.

Some bodies had their head missing, some their limbs... all in all, it was next to impossible to find even a single body with no body part missing.

"What the fuck is this?"

Alex could feel his heart beating loudly and as time went on, it only kept increasing.

Was he in a graveyard?

No! No graveyard has the custom to dissect the dead.

But then, if it is not a graveyard, then... what is it? where is he?

Not wanting to stay in this horrid place, he chose a direction with fewer bodies and sprinted in his full speed.

Running at his full steam for about five minutes, Alex seemed to notice the change in surroundings.

Houses came into his view. To be precise, houses on fire.

"Shit!"

Looking over in the distance, all the houses that could be seen were set ablaze.

"What... what the hell is this? Is this a dream?"

His jaw left opened at the chaotic scene.

"Who is there?"

A rough voice came from Alex's behind, and he turned over to see a man with a cut of his forearms and wearing a brown handkerchief around his face.

"Hm... how come you are not taken back them? Anyways, let me help them." murmured the person and then looked over at Alex and said, "Kiddo, I don't like to force kids your age. so how about you willingly follow me and I will take you to other prisoners."

Prisoners! what the hell is this guy saying? Maybe he is nuts.

Isn't imprisonment banned across the world? maybe this guy is joking around. anyway, it's better to follow him then roam around in this horrible place.

"Oh, I will follow you, um, "

"Quite intelligent." Smirking a bit, the person turned around and started walking.

Walking for 15 minutes straight, Alex had confusion written all over his face.

While walking along with this person, he started asking him questions to get to know where he was but the response left him startled.

"If you dare to speak even one more word from your fucking mouth, I will shove down my blade right up the ass. Understood?"

More than the words, it was the cold and murderous intent that terrified Alex, who only responded by moving his head up and down.

Soon, a hoard of cries resounded in the surrounding leaving Alex aghast.

A certain bad premonition hit him as his breath turned a bit rigid.

In a few seconds, his premonition turned out to be true.

There were children kept in prison. Not only children but women too.

Looking a bit further to the right, he saw a bunch of individuals circling around somebody. It was then that he heard a female's streak.

"Damn, the bitch handled three of us so skillfully. Never knew that she would break down with only five of us."

"Yeah, I was so close that I wish she could handle us for a minute more."

The group dispersed, revealing a naked teenager with blood dripping from her lower region and marks on her body formed due to violent treatment by the group.

Alex felt something churning in his stomach as he hurriedly changes his field of vision.

It was at this moment, that the person beside him spoke out in his usual voice, devoid of any emotions, "You bastards... that's the third lady you guys killed. Any more and I promise you, one of you will forever remain here to accompany her."

The group turned their heads towards Alex, or to be exact towards the person near Alex.

"Boss... you see, this is actually all his idea, " said one of the guys pointing to the person in the middle.

"You..."

The person beside him, whom the group referred to as 'Boss', replied in an irritated tone, "Enough, be careful next time, that's it."

Alex stood there right beside him, unable to lift his finger because of the shock he was experiencing.

`These guys... not only killed her but also rape... raped her. What the hell!`

The Boss lifted up Alex by his collars and sorted at the group, "This boy was left out by you douchebags. Now care to tell me, how did this happen?"

"Boss, we swear, that we were extremely careful in handling the affairs you instructed ha to do."

"Yes, Boss. Not only we put fire on the bodies of those demons but also blasted the houses in the village."

"Yup, we can guarantee that there was no person left out by us."

The Boss smirked a little and said while pointing at Alex, "So can you tell me, who is this person, then?"

"This..."

The group left were terrified. It was known to them that their Boss had pretty high connections, and used them to rule over villages and cities nearby.

They also heard it as a rumor that their Boss had forced countless young maidens of city lord into bedding him and later forced them into slavery.

In short, they, who had a family, were extremely terrified of him, someone was so damn debaucherous.

The Boss looked at the group and seeing them with horrible faces, shook his head and decided to let the matter pass.

"Okay, fine, " said the Boss as he pointed threw Alex over in the direction of the group, "Put him into prison #2."
