A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper.

SOURCE OF THE CALL

Ruth followed the drops of blood from her hand injury fell on the grass below. She didn't feel much pain, only the irritating sensation. All this time, her eyes were only searching for an entry into the old building.

She even fell while climbing to reach a window. But she had not thought about looking down.

Sometimes, rather than looking up, keeping your eyes down help!

Ruth caught sight of a small rectangular slit that was only six to seven inches in width. It had no covering except a small plant grown near it. Her drops of blood were on that plant.

All she could see through that slit was pitch black.

'There might be a cellar or something.' She thought.

She was about to turn her attention away from that slit when she heard a distant sound. It was very faint to decipher clearly yet was very familiar at the same time. Her curiosity got the best of her, and she narrowed her eyes. She bent down a little but was also ready to sprint out of there if needed.
