Yu'an Temple hours before the fire
Chen Yao lay on her side on the slim straw mat eyes locked on the locked door at the other end of the room. Her entire body felt sore with her wrist and ankle bearing the most pain, after fours of painful questioning she was finally returned to her cell but her maid was not so lucky. Her stomach hurt as her worms began to attack the walls of her stomach in search of food.
Chen Yao held her stomach only to soak in am some breath as she felt a jab at her side from the painful ministrations of her abductors. She couldn't take any more of their questioning considering that the only way out of the constant questioning was to reveal her biggest secrets. Chen Yao was left with no other choice but to think of a way to escape.
