"What exactly she got herself into?" Casey had some ideas in her mind as she made guesses based on what Elaine had told her so far but as an emphatic adult, she wished that those didn't happen to Hannah at this early. Even adults who once a victim of these had hard time to recover from it.

"You'll find out soon. We almost reach the place. Look! There!" Elaine pointed her finger towards an old building in the middle of the forest. It was a huge mansion with some parts looked broken and not under proper maintenance however looking at the surrounding area, the long gra.s.s had been cleared out and the area seemed to be in a neat condition except for the missing structures. It appeared that someone was occupying the mansion but then didn't do any renovation to replace the broken walls.

"Whose house is that?"

"Come, follow me." Elaine continued walking towards one of the entrance doors and pushed it open easily since it wasn't locked. Casey just followed behind and to her surprise, the interior design inside the mansion was so elegantly decorated, unlike the outer walls. The chandelier lights shone brightly and the furniture was arranged perfectly fit the decorations. There were no clouds of dust flying around. Casey was starstruck as if she was in a royal castle.

"Hannah is usually very bright and cheerful person though people badmouth about her behind her back and she knows about it. She accepts everything they said and never retaliates."

Elaine spoke again but this time there was a trace of sadness in her voice.

"But she will turn into someone else every time she finishes her last scene and returns back to normal when she comes back from the short vacation. At first, I thought that probably she feels so tired because of the long and packed schedule but seeing this pattern many times, I know something is wrong."

"What had happened actually?" Out of curiosity, Casey probed Elaine to spill the tea.

"The first time I sense the change in her behaviour was last summer. She became moody and easily lost her temper. Then, she started to cry while begging me. She asked my help to bring her to overseas. I didn't really understand what was going on at that time and just persuaded her to have a rest at home but she was still crying. At some point, her cries stopped and she just walked out of the car just like that. The next time I saw her was after the vacation. She became her old self back. So, I didn't suspect anything. Probably at that time, she had personal problems."

"However when the shooting ended, the same thing happened again. So I decided to stay back and watched from far after sending her back home. I saw her got into a black van and when I tried to follow that van, it just disappeared before I could catch up. The next day I came to look for her at her house, her parents said that she went overseas for the vacation. When I tried to explain the matter to them, her mother just cut me off and said that I didn't need to worry about her. So I just left and waited for the vacation to end. Hannah did come back and she looked fine."

"I then forced her to tell me and she did. She said that those people would come to look for her at the house and if she didn't comply and tell her parents about this, they would ruin her family. She was afraid that her parents would abandon her if they knew about this so she just kept quiet. She did try to escape but then they managed to catch her. I forced her again to tell me what those people had done to her but Hannah didn't say a word. Only G.o.d knew what they did to her. I came to know this place after I secretly put the GPS track on her and that day I saw what they did to her. It was so horrible and I couldn't bear to watch. I felt like I became one of them if I kept quiet about so that's why I decided to message you."

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"Hannah made me promise to not call the police. If this matter gets out, her family will hate and abandon her. She feels guilty that all this while she's being loved by her family but then she brings disgrace to the family."

Listening to all these, Casey was speechless. This matter was indeed heavy and dangerous.

"It seems that those people had gone back. Hannah may be still in this house. Let's go look for her." said Elaine while walking towards the grand spiral staircase and began climbing it one by one. It connected to a long hallway and at the end of it, there was a door nicely decorated.

KCAK! A loud sound coming from that room. Casey and Elaine looked at each other in shock. They both looked blank, not knowing what to do. Before Casey could compose herself not to be panic in this situation, Elaine suddenly dashed towards the door with Casey trying to catch up.
