When I woke up, the first thing that I noticed was that I was tied up.
I was lying on the ground and I could feel that my hands and feet were tied up with rope.
It also felt like there was sothing inside of my mouth that was stopping from speaking. But the worst part about that was that when I tried to move my mouth, the taste of the thing in my mouth assaulted .
It was disgusting, it was like rancid trash water that filled my mouth…
So I imdiately stopped trying to speak as I tried to figure out what was happening.
Luckily for , they didn't cover my eyes, so I was able to open them to look around.
Unluckily, I found that I was in a place that was completely pitch dark.
No, it wasn't completely pitch dark since there was a faint light that was coming from one side of this room. It seed like it was sothing that lit up the room that was outside that was leaking its glow into this room.
As my eyes slowly adjusted, I was able to see what was around .
There were many other bodies that were around that were all tied up just like . When I looked closely at them, I started recognizing who they were.
It was Haley, Cecilia, and the others who had co with .
But the problem was that there were only humans here.
It seed that whoever had captured us, they had separated us from the elves who had been with us.
I couldn't help feeling a bit of worry when I realized this.
Of course, I didn't worry about Apollo and those other warrior elves. The ones that I was worried about were Moon and the hunters who had at least treated us with kindness.
I didn't know how we had been caught like this, but I did want to save them.
I was about to start struggling to find a way out of this place, but then I suddenly heard sothing.
It wasn't a sound from any of the people in here because they were still unconscious and they all had their mouths covered. It seed to be coming from the other room where the source of light was.
"It's a sha that we can't do anything with these humans. There are quite a few beautiful ones among them, it'll be a sha to kill them all."
The mont that I heard this, I felt a chill run down my spine.
But then I forced myself to stay calm as I listened to the conversation coming from outside.
"He, he, I know what you an, but it is what it is. This is the deal that our commander made with that elf, so we have no choice but to follow it."
This ti, I deeply knitted my brows when I heard this.
I had already suspected this when that elf had suddenly fallen down, but I had thrown that into the back of my head since I didn't want to believe it. But now that the facts were placed right in front of , it wasn't as if I had a choice.
So I focused my mind and listened carefully to the voices outside.
I wanted to see if I could get any clues out of them.
"Ha, are we really going to play along with those elves? If it wasn't for them, we would have already found the perfect base here."
"There's nothing that we can do, those elves are quite powerful…but now that they are trapped, it isn't as if they can do anything."
There were two different laughs that rang out after this voice fell.
"They never would have expected that we never intended to keep that deal in the first place. These elves really are fools, they're willing to believe anything that you tell them."
More laughter followed after this was said.
When I heard this, I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile as I felt a bit sorry for the traitor elf.
That traitor never would have expected that they would be betrayed by the demons like this.
However, what were they expecting from a deal with demons?
Demons were cruel and manipulative by nature, so it was their second nature to do things like this.
I really couldn't help wondering who the fool of a traitor was…
After so more laughter, one of the demons said, "Alright, the humans are secured, so there's nothing we need to do right now. Let's go get so food before it's all gone and it's too late for us to enjoy. There's still more things we have to do this afternoon."
The other voice couldn't help saying in a worried tone, "Shouldn't we stay here and watch over the humans? Isn't that our job?"
The first demon said, "Watch over what? Watch over a bunch of sleeping humans? You know how potent the poison that we used is, so there's no way that they'll wake up before tomorrow."
The second demon hesitated and didn't answer right away, but eventually they said, "Alright, let's go get so food before it's all gone."
The first demon gave a laugh and there was a sound that rang out that sounded like playful slapping before he said, "Good kid, let's go."
After that, there were two pairs of footsteps that rang out that kept growing more and more faint, showing that the owner of these footsteps were moving away from this place.
I didn't move at all when I could hear those footsteps and it was only when those footsteps were gone did I finally start trying to break free of the ropes.
However, no matter how much I struggled, I wasn't able to break free at all.
These ropes were just too hard for to break free of with my strength alone.
But I knew that I had to break free of these bonds and help everyone escape, or else when the demons ca back…bad things would happen.
