~Part 2~
She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, ignoring the pain had taken hold of her body. She was out of breath, her lungs were dry and she was afraid that at any minute she would drop dead. Maybe it was their voices behind her, pushing her to go on.
"STOP KHUSHI! DON'T MAKE THIS HARDER FOR YOURSELF!" The man with the husky voice yelled. "STOP NOW! DON'T MAKE THIS HARDER FOR YOURSELF!"
She kept running, no longer able to feel her legs, the world around her becoming a fuzzy haze. She didn't even have time to wipe the tears that filled her eyes, too afraid to do nothing but run. Suddenly her worst fear came true, she fell to the ground in an instant.
Had she tripped over something? She attempted to get back up, but her foot was in sheer pain. She suddenly felt dizzy, the world became more fuzzy around her. She balanced herself using her hands.
"There you are, you gave us quite a chase didn't you?" said the husky man's voice somewhere above her. She tried to get up again, but stumbled under her own weight. She could hear the man laugh, a cold and unemotional laugh, one that sent shivers down your spine.
"Stop...stop...I demand...stop" she whispered under her breath.
The man let out another laugh, "we don't take order from you anymore." With that he yanked her arm, and pulled her up. She howled in pain. He ignored her, and she felt her feet being dragged along the ground. She tried to cry out once again, but it was like her voice was caught in her throat. Instead, she felt herself slowly dozing off, her eyes shutting. She tried to stay alert, and fight it off, but for the life of her she just couldn't.
Suddenly, she felt his grip let go, and dropped the ground. She howled in pain, but then she realized he was howling in pain, louder than her. It was too dark to tell what was going on.
"AHHH GET AWAY FROM ME! GET AWAY!" She heard the man with the husky voice yell. "Come back Raghu! COME BACK!" the man continued to yell as she heard the other man's footsteps running away. Then she heard a growl, the man howl once again in pain, and after that she remembered nothing.

The sun streamed in through the window and she felt its warmth all over her body. She opened her eyes, and suddenly became alert. She slowly let her fingers explore the silk sheets beneath her. She sat up.
She was in a room, a room so grand, its sheer size was hard to explain. The bed was a large bed, with four large dominating columns. She looked to her right, at a window that took up almost the entire wall. The window was so large, and so large, she would probably be a giant in front of it. The light pink silk curtains caught the light of the sun, shimmering in the sunlight. Either than that the room seemed empty. Except for a large cupboard, as grand as the room, right across the bed.
Where was she? Who had brought her here? What had happened last night? She took her feet off of the bed slowly and stepped on to the cold marble floor. She looked around frantically, as if the room would speak to her and happen to tell her where she was. She walked around the bed and went towards the window.
She pushed the curtain back a little, to see the view. She was taken aback, it was absolutely breathtaking. As far as the eye could see their was rolling green hills, and beyond them what seemed to be a line of trees, could it be the woods she came from? The place was obviously isolated. She peered down, right below the window. She could see a miraculous set of white gates, and a bricked courtyard, with a single tree, she had never seen a tree so big. She walked back, and went towards the door of the room.
She attempted opening the large door, as but she was afraid once it opened, its weight would send her flying. She kept trying, playing with the handle until it opened gently, much to her surprise.
She walked outside of the room, in to the hallway. The hallway had been panelled with wood, each square design had been made what to hold a picture, at least it seemed that way to her. The red carpet lining the hallway was soft underneath her feet, and she kept walking, aimlessly at first. She caught a glimpse of light at the left end of the hallway and she walked towards it. As she walked closer, she was beginning to realize it was just another grand window. She stopped and peered outside it, the same view of the what seemed to her, the never ending courtyard and hills. She was about to turn around to keep walking, when she suddenly saw a reflection in the window. A figure of a large man standing at the end of the hall.
The figure seemed to be facing his back to her. She slowly turned around, her heart beating in her chest. Her body seemed to be trembling, as she turned around. At the same time, the figure turned his face abruptly to face her. Her eyes widened, and she screamed in fear, lurching backwards.
