Can you feel my heart?

Past:Caught

7years back. When I was 14.

Today marked 3months after Baba's death and two months at Uncle Nameez's house. I missed my family so much but I am coping. Uncle Nameez and his wife aunt Zaynab treated me so well and Ahmad usually visit me twice a month but Maama always talk to me on the phone,she never visited.

I was busy jumping up and down,playing at the backyard of the house when i heard faint sound coming from the ground. I checked around the area but I found nothing it was when I jumped on a certain spot I heard a cavity sound as if something was missing and I was right when I used my hand to clear away the dirt and leaves on the surface.

What I saw at the end was a door like a door leading to the underground. I used all my strength to pull it open and I saw stairs leading down. I know I shouldn't,but curiosity got the best of me.

It was all dark on the way in and as I got deeper into the basement the sound I heard earlier became clearer. It was not a sound of an animal but a human. Like someone was crying.

When I finally got into the big basement room I saw things that shocked me out my wits. There's so many knives,different kinds of weapons,machines,whips and lastly a woman who's was barely alive shackled to a chain. The groans were coming from her,she was beaten black and blue and tortured. Her clothes were torn and soaked with her own blood.

"Ma'am." I called and she suddenly snapped her eyes opened that now shook with fear.

"P-please..d-don't come near me,I-I..I beg your forgiveness." She tremulously said shifting back.

"I am not going to harm you. I just got here." I raised my hands trying to show how harmless I am . And when she heard my voice for the second time she calmed down a little before she said.

"Little girl get out of here now. You should go."

My brows questionably frown
"Why?. And why are you here who is doing this to you."

"I don't want anything to happen to you too please leave ." Her face was a mess dolled up with her tears and snots. She looked so helpless and pitiful which I couldn't ignore.

"No I won't leave when someone is in need,I will help you."

I didn't wait for her response and went for her chain I looked for the key that was on table to unlock the chain. When she's free I helped to get up and damp a blanket that I saw on a chair on her.

"C'mon Ma'am we should hurry up and get out of here." The woman just looked at me and  didn't say anything. I helped her to the stairs,we were close to get out when my gown got stuck on a nail. I tried to pull it but it stopped me,so I released the woman's shoulder to say.

"Ma'am you should go first,I will follow right behind you when I pull it out."
The woman silently looked at me before she said
"You should hurry up little girl don't get caught ." With this she climbed out of the basement.

My attention went back to my gown which I tried to pull out but a familiar voice down the basement stopped me.

"Well well well !what do we have here
A rat?" And my uncle's face came into view.

"oh no it is my lovely niece."

And his whole demeanor suddenly changed to a serious one
  "What are you doing here Asma?".

  "Uncle there are so many knives and weapons what is this place". I shot back a question instead of answering his. I finally pulled out my gown and stepped down to him. From the look of it he got out of the opposite room as the door was opened.

   "Curiosity is not a sin but we should exercise caution with our curiosity." His words came and he pulled a kerchief from his pocket,flapping it.

"What do you mean uncle?" My face held a questioning look and my mind kept trying to figure how my uncle got here when the door is up there.

"This is my base."and that made sense.

"Huh?" The sound that left my lips.

"Asma Muhammad Zaeem welcome to my safe heaven. You let my puppet escape and you'll replace her." My face held a horrified look but before I replied back my nose was blocked with a handkerchief and suddenly I lost consciousness.

The beginning of the past !! So we finally met the antagonist or villain I will say "Nameez".

Nameez just what are you?!.

SalamuAlaikum,Hi,Hello. I decided to use first point of view to change the line of the book and to understand the past better. Here Asma gets to tell the story herself. And we will get to enjoy it. Trust me😉.

Ps:so sorry there will be many errors as I am not that good in writing first point of view.

Don't forget to shower your votes on this chapter. Thank you ❤️✨.
