THE DUNGEON
ZARYA'S POV
"Are you nuts!" Pyro immediately responded.
"Why her?" Colden asked him.
"Hali you should not put her at Dungeon. You know how life occurs there. She may suffer from depression. She'll just remember her family's death." Raiden's long speech had a touch of concern.
"F*ck your cock, Hali!" Zephyrus's serious tone filled my ear.
"I don't care." Hali gestured to the guards using his slant nod. "Capture her."
Before their hands touched mine. My eyes were burning as I galred at him. That asshole would suffer one of these days! I would make him cry. I swear to my dead family!
"Zarya…" Colden whispered my name as I passed him by. It was unexpected that the kings would be worried for me.
The drop of one tear rolled to my cheek. I sniffed as I avoided it covering my whole system. I should be strong as always. I was alone in this world.
"No crying." The husky whisper of Hali reminded me when I passed him.
"There's no agreement for this. I'll beat your handsome face when I out with the Dungeon." The threats came out from my mouth as my eyes were showing him how mad I was.
"I'll embrace your beat." He stepped one towards me and whisper. "Survive. My command is my command."
"Your mistreats to me will never be forgotten." The madness filled my emotions.
"I order you to remember it. Day… and night." He fought my stare.
What did I do wrong to him? He was so livid at me that I could not understand. The depths of his eyes were full of exasperation. Is that for me? Or for all the women in his life?
My feet were stepping in heaviness. I did everything that I could, not to look back at the kings. One day, I would avenge this to the Alpha King of Water! I swear!
The Dungeon was the worst place I have ever seen. The prisoners were screaming. The smell was like someone was rotting.
"Kill her! Kill her!"
I stopped walking when I heard that. The passage was for the women. The left side was for the men. There were prisoners having combat, almost killing each other. The guards did not care at all. There were sleeping on the soil. They did not care about their surroundings. They were climbing at the bars. They were some eating their own hands. Some were laughing, talking to themselves. Some were pleasuring themselves, inserting their finger on their private parts. Some were crawling back and forth. I had really no idea that this place was worst than hell.
"There's no vacant cell." I think he was the Leader of the Guards.
"That's not a problem. Put her at the group cell."
"She will not stay at the Dungeon. She's King Water's omega."
"There's no order where to put her therefore it's not a problem if we place her at the Group Cell."
I thought the Group Cell would be a cell for more than one prisoner. That would be fine if they were kind to me, but I was wrong for that thought. They threw me on the Group Cell who was a criminal.
Should I survive for a day?
I lay on the dried grass when they pushed me towards the inside and then shut the bars immediately. I looked around. The women were the number of five. They were glaring at me with the fire in their eyes.
"We're not fit her! Get this kid out!" One of them shouted. She held the bars and shook them. She was a big woman. My eyes settled on the tattoo on her nape. It was a dragon bursting out of the fire.
I would no longer be safe in this place. I needed to go out as soon as possible.
I gradually gazed at them one by one. The big woman near the bars, the woman who was having a man haircut. A woman was full of piercing. One was sitting at the corner, fixing her knife.
Is there no rule at the Dungeon? When they killed their company prisoner, no punishment? I think so.
My eyes settled on the other woman who was sitting on the left side. She was just looking at me. She tapped her side, gesturing me to sit beside her. According to her looks, she was like the same age as me. I was thinking that all of them she was the most trusted therefore I sat next to her.
"Watch their actions. They might kill you without noticing it."
"Is there no laws about killing here?"
"Nothing. They are fighting for space. Since you are a newcomer. The space will be taken by you. The air that they are breathing got limited."
"Air?"
"During the night, the oxygen is lacking because they are sealing the whole place. Some died with suffocation."
My hands were slowly closing. This would be not easy for me except for the air, my problem was these people.
"Can I trust you?" I showed her my sharp eyes.
"Trust no one even me can kill you." She stood up, walked to the other side of the cell, getting bored.
The cell was so small. How could we fit in this during sleep? Sleeping while sitting? Hali just at least gives me a knife. I was not ready here.
If I die, I can't revenge on King Water and on the people who killed my family.
"What's your name?" The big woman came to me. There was no bad intention in her eyes, but I would not trust anyone.
"Zarya, the daughter of the great Beta, Zakan."
"Beta?" She laughed so hard that even her stomach ached. "Then why are you here if you are the daughter of the great beta?" She laughed again, teasing me as if what i said was just a joke to her.
"Because of an asshole who orders the guard to place me here."
"Who's that asshole?"
"The Alpha King of Water."
The amusement was written on her face. "You are brave to say his name."
"It's not a name. It's a title." I lay on the dried yellow-brown grass. "I can't avenge myself for that asshole if you kill me. Don't worry about my space here. I will leave after days."
"I like your braveness. Well… if you get out of the cell for the next two days, you'll live, but if not…" She gestured her hands as if she was cutting a neck. "Remember that."
"I will."
During the night, I slept peacefully even though I could not grab air. We were saving oxygen for the rest of the night. It was hard to breathe. I almost suffocated. This was like the same training as on how to swim or go under the water for so long. I was expecting that I would just stay at the Dungeon for one day or one night, but they did not get me.
"Hey! Why aren't you getting me!" I was kicking the bars as I was shouting at the guards. They were roaming around. One had stopped and come closer to me.
"King Water's order. You'll be in there for two weeks."
"What? Is that not Higher King's order! What the hell! That asshole! I should go out or I will die!" I kicked and kicked the bars over and over again.
When I looked at my back, I gulped my saliva as the big woman glared at me.
No way! She will kill me!
"Tell King Water, I will kick his handsome face once I got out! Asshole!" I shouted and shouted, but my destiny in this cell would never change.
I must fight or else my life will be shorter than I expected.
