WARNING! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS VIOLENCE!
Zahra's heart raced as she woke up, the memory of her nightmare still fresh in her mind.
She tried to make sense of her surroundings in the darkness, but before she could gather her thoughts, she felt a sharp pain in her right foot.
Gulping, Zahra realized her foot was near the small container the kidnappers had thrown into the chest.
Despite the fear coursing through her, she hesitated to open the box, her curiosity getting the better of her.
With trembling hands, she opened the container.
As she did, rats poured out, their hungry eyes glaring at her and glowing in the darkness.
Zahra screamed as they sank their teeth into her flesh, the pain from her previous wounds intensening and overwhelming.
She frantically tried to push them away, but they were relentless, driven by their hunger.
