After relaxing in the bath for a good hour or so Andressa dressed herself with the only thing she could find appropriate. A sweatshirt which landed on to her mid thigh and a boxer short which hung hopelessly loose on her. There was no sign of Kael may be he is still in the study she thought, her tummy growling reminding her that she need to fuel up. 

"Where on earth is the kitchen in this house.. uh castle" She said to herself while she walked down the hallway. They seem to never end Andressa realised that she is actually lost in a maze of hallways in a shitty old castle. The more she walked the more the castle got creepy unlike the wing Kael took her to which is rather classic and maintained. 

Uh this place need some serious spruce up.  She turned to walk back but instead she came to a stop at an entryway to a rather narrow hallway. Out of curiosity she went in there. There were no lights lit in the hallway but since it was not nearly nighttime a little light coming through the quite small square shape windows, they are more like embrasures. Down the hallway it divided in to two one leading to a door and the other one ended at a winding staircase which goes down. She tried the door first but it was locked. Then she stood staring at the staircase winding down several stories. 

Andressa try to find your way back, curiosity killed the cat remember. Her inner voice telling her to head back but instead she chose to go down and see what lay down there. May be that is where Kael keep his hell hounds.. She laughed to herself at the thought. Every step she take the sound echoed, hence she tried her best to step down as light as a feather. 

She come down at least three stories down to the end of the stairs. The air inside smelled musty and she cringed her nose. A shiver ran down her spine as she continued down the narrow passage. It looked like a prison or a dungeon is the more suitable word for it. There are doors with a small viewing slot which only can be opened from the outside on either side of the passage.

She took several silent steps inside and sudden loud banging noise startled her and a terrified Andressa turned to run but she halted again as she heard a loud painful scream and some voices following the scream and another loud bang. she couldn't understand what it was about since it was the echos she heard and immediately her feet were taking her to the direction the scream came.

Andressa came to a large stone arch which lead to four doors from all sides. Three of them were closed except for one slightly left open, she could hear the voices coming from it. She sneaked to the side of the large old shelf placed next to it and cornered herself to make sure she is not being spotted by anyone. Leaning forward she looked inside and witnessed the most gruesome frightful sight. Andressa leaned back on to the corner panting her breathing loud and audible hence she covered her mouth with both her hands. Tears streaming down her eyes. 

A second later she turned her head to take another look, everything came in to picture. A woman was tied on to a chair with iron cuffs and bars. Her face unidentifiable because blood was covering it, she had a black eye with a large swelling. Andressa could tell that she was a blond from the colour of her hair though it is an entire mess. Blood was gushing out from a wound of her left hand. Why is she being tortured like this dear God what is all this. 

There were three men inside. One of them was standing facing his back to the door. He had a black long over coat and a mask covering his face his posture booming. The other two men were wearing black suites. On a table next to the man wearing the coat is a table which had different  tools like equipment on it. 

"My men were too lenient on you bitch, tell me his whereabouts now and I might just let you live." He said with a rough terrifying voice.

"Go fuck yourself" The woman replied spitting out,her saliva all bloody read.

"In that case I have something which will make you consider to negotiate." He turned to his men and signaled something. The opened up a laptop and showed it to the woman.

"Aahh you fucking son of a bitch,she is just a girl. You fucked up sick bastard." She spat in anger and pain.

"Then I suggest you tell me his whereabouts or your dear daughter will be auctioned out to the highest bidder. You can make everything right" he said.

"I already told you what I know" She begged, he tilted his head to side as if he is observing her, then standing up he moved to the table.

"Persuasion is an art and it get more interesting every time." He took a tool from the table. He traced it over the face of the woman and attacked her on the head. She groaned in pain. "No that is not right." Then he locked one of her fingers with the tool.

"No no pl..please..no I already told you..Mateal has no safe house Guerreiro. Please,I beg you..aaahhhhhhhhh"she screamed in unbearable pain as he amputate her finger.

"Oh my god"Andressa screamed unintentionally,horror struck her and she froze in complete shock umable to move.

******
"Boss we have an intruder" One of the men said dragging Andressa in to the room. Andressa tried to escape but he easily restrained her.

"Who the fuck is it..."The man with the black coat turned and his eyes turned wide.

"Let me go,please let me go"Andressa screaming and struggling she glanced in to his eyes only to silence herself dumbstruck. Those eyes I know....Kael

"How did she get here" He questioned his men but mostly he was asking her his voice rough and barely recognizable. Andressa kept staring at him in dismay.

"Sorry boss,we will get rid of her " The other man replied and grabbed Andressa from the hand and pulled her back making her drop on her back on to the floor.

"NO!  I will see to it personally. "He yelled at him.

"Yes Guerreiro"

" The man backed out.

"Take her up right now do not harm her" Kael ordered and the man pulled Andressa along with him closing the door behind them.

Andressa was practically dragged all the way up by this heavy built man. He pushed her away making her drop down on the face. 

"You are only alive because the Guerreiroshowed some mercy on you whore!" He spat at her. Andressa crawled back in terror. "I can have some use of you after boss throw you out" He said chuckling slyly at her. 

"ENOUGH Borris!" A man's voice echoed in the room and Borris immediately lowered his head and turned to a side not even glancing at the man.

"Get out" He demanded and instantly Borris left without a word.

He kneeled before Andressa and and gave out his hand to help her stand up. She looked at him hesitantly.

"Don't worry I am not going to hurt you" He said assuring her and she took his hand to stand up.

"Hi, I'm Adrian, Kael's friend"He smiled at her and she nodded her head for appreciation still unable to find her voice. "Lets get you settled now shall we" He helped her to sit on a chair near by and handed her a glass of water. "Here drink this, should make you feel better" he smiled.

"Where is he?" Andressa managed to ask in a whisper, the water glass resting on her hand.

"He will be here soon. Until then I am going to give you some company"He chuckled
