'Its fine uncle, you are just doing your job but its ended' I murmered releasing a low sigh.

'No, not until we put your abuser behind the bars or before his death, thats when it will end' uncle said in a loud stern voice.

'He stopped abusing me after a while when I stopped defiling him or trying to escape him. He did all that because of his some sick obsession or fetish over me and now I want peace' I snapped instantly.

'That doesn't make any difference Elena. He don't need to do all that when once he got your nerve in his hand to control you but remember one thing child, the ringmaster don't always need a stick to control the animals in the cirus. Once they were trained they started to work on his commands oneself even without the stick but they are nothing more than a source to their master.' he replied and his words hit me, not because of what he said but because a part of me knows he can might be true.

It's also a fact that Nicolas never said anything anymore other then wanting me for him as his or making me his.

'I don't care, my family is safe and...and it's over now' I replied not wanting to listen to him anymore.

'Its not over until his death but I understand. You are taken as hostage from about hundred and eight days and if we include the month you escaped him than it's complete four and...

'Half month' I finished his sentence in a low voice.

'What are you trying to say uncle, that I turned into a paranoid or something' I said in mock way with a smirk squinting my eyes at him to ease the air an also not wanting to talk about it and he chuckled on my statement.

'A paranoid can't become a paranoid Elena' he joined me in my jock.

'Oh, but they can definitely make others' and saying this we laughed together.

'Your father would have got me suspended from my job if he would still be my senior and heard me calling his beloved daughter paranoid' he joked again making me laugh.

'He really used to gave you hard times those days' I said.

'He used to be tough man'

'I believe he still is' I replied smiling nd thinking what am I supposed to tell him when I'll face him for lying them earlier.

'You are brave Elena but what I am saying is that you were held captive from four and half month with no one with you other than your capter. You didn't have a choice so you find solace in your abuser and looking at your history I am just saying you should take therapy classes' he said in serious tone.

Uncle David was also one from them who knows my history. He was their with my father when found me murdering that man six years ago, not only my father even he couldn't believe his eyes when saw me the condition I was in that day.

'I am fine uncle but I think you are right, maybe I've developed Stockholm syndrome' saying this I chuckled nut he didn't.

'We will caught him, he will pay for his doings' he assured and my smile dropped.

'I think I should take rest now'.

'Ya of course' he said as I got up from the seat.

'Thank you once again for rescuing me and my family uncle' I thanks him genuinely.

'I did that for my sake, your father would have put me behind my own bars if I wouldn't' he replied smiling making me chuckle.

'I already told you its my duty Elena' he said and giving him a smile I exit the room.

After the interrogation I went back to my room in hotel and by the time it was near midnight.

I laid on the couch with my thoughts trying to join the strings but my thoughts again and again blocked by image of Nicolas falling on his kness and his screams begging me to stay with him keep ringing in my head keeping me distress.

I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes that slide down and closed them shutting all the doors of my thoughts for sometime and don't know when drifted off to sleep.

I woke up in morning when it was near dusk. I sat near window enjoying the view of morning outside when the knock on door reach my ears. It was breakfast, I didn't have much appetite so I took a light breakfast and after some time uncle David came in room. 

He handed me a pair of cloths telling me we are going to my family and my happiness has no bounds.

I took a quick shower and changed into new cloths. After some time uncle David came back and he took me to railway station.

My mind started to run in doubts.

When I asked where are my parents and where are we going he refused to tell me anything only ensuring that we are definitely going to my family and that was enough for me.

With uncle David and few more cops I was waiting for train to arrive and my eyes were literally bugging out all the way we reach the station or even on the station, scared that Nicolas might attack anytime from anywhere and I won't be able to see my family again but nothing like that happened and my fear only just remained as my fear when once the train arrived and took off.

I waited impatiently in agitation to arrive wherever the destination is to meet my family. The excitement and happiness is too much for me.

Train passed through beautiful curves of mountains as all the way I kept looking outside of window enjoying the marvelous challenging views of out.

The ride was not long like I thought it will be, it was short and we soon reached the station.

Once the train stop I quickly got off and looked at the display board at station which reads Salerno.

We are still in Italy.

A car was already waiting for us and once we bucked up it took.

The sirens of my mind started wailing  and I was hell restless not knowing where exactly are we going. 

My anxiety was at peak but uncle David refused to tell me anything like every time I was asking him all the way only assuring me we are going to my family.

We passed through beautiful streets, filled with culture and the area was rural.
