Light In My Darkness

32

And there, she meets him.

Her destiny.

A voice vibrated bringing peace and the feeling of being protected inside me, the fear that was bubbling in me was subsiding but everything vanished all of a sudden.

"Ahg! Ahg!" I jolted struggling to look around as I was blinded by bright white lights, I tried to pull out the thing that was latched into my nose but my hands weren't listening to my command.

Everything around me was spinning and blurry, I tried to pull myself up but I couldn't move an inch, my body wasn't listening to me, it seemed like it was paralyzed.

I shut my eyes tightly as the beeping sound that reflected around made my head burst with an unspeakable amount of pain like I was being hammered continuously.

"Hey...." A slurry voice called out, I glanced at the blue and blurry image with fear, they kept whispering things but I couldn't concentrate.

She meets him.

Her destiny.

"Those... Those words... Who..who was it?" I managed to let those words out feeling the pain of being penetrated with razor-sharp needles on my neck.

"We...ar..here... relax. Just a night....mare." A vague voice buzzed around but I was unable to comprehend what they were mumbling.

I could feel their hands on me as they pushed me backward. I struggled under their hold as anxiety creeps inside, it felt like I was being shoved forcefully deep into the deep dark blue sea where I couldn't inhale.

"No!.. No! Go...away." I cried helplessly under their hold gasping for air, I was caged in my own body.

But everything went in vain as there was this sudden stinging sensation on my arm after which I felt the life drawing out of me.

"Who... was.. it? Who...who's words were..those?" I whispered feeling dizzy, it was the feeling of vanishing into the colorless soft breeze of the air.

A thin horizontal strand of blinding white light was all I could see before everything went dark.

"How long its been?" I asked looking at Lilly who was blubbering, Emily placed a hand on my shoulder in a comforting way. They looked like a living ghost putting me at guilt.

"Twenty-six days," Said Emily, I nod staring at the shining white floor at the very vague image of mine.

"How is Kiara doing?"

"She's fine, Bri," Emily answered.

"We..we thought we lost you," Lilly hugged my left hand dropping white crystals of teardrops. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I am the one responsible for everything that happened to you, one stupid action of mine nearly costed your life. Don't forgive me, punish me Bri! Punish me!" She sobbed, I wiped her face shaking my head.

"Can I get a mirror?" I requested.

"No, not now. Give your body some time to recover before you could see yourself, please." Emily pleads.

"Give me the god damn mirror!" I grit immediately regretting as my chest was on fire, but they wouldn't budge.

"Fine," I look towards my right where I found a surgical steel tray, I know it was presumptuous of me to throw everything that was inside, but I was incapable of controlling.

I stroked my bruised reflection, I couldn't recognize myself anymore, the tray slipped out of my hand as I closed my eyes that were filled with hot unshed tears as an overwhelming sense of sadness and cloud of fear squeezed my soul and made me feel heavy.
