Dark Days ~ [On Hold]

Chapter~2

Sirene

I woke up to find myself in a room. Darkness was all over the room, probably eating up all the light, light of hope present in this room.

After a few minutes visibility took over and to my surprise it was my room. THIS IS MY ROOM!?..... No way, it cant be? I got scared and went to check for a wound over my body, it is all what I was thinking about. But surprisingly their wasn't any wound. I was a one piece human!

'Don't you remember, you got caught.' Oh yeah, I got caught.

It's beyond the bounds of possibility, they didn't try hurting or torturing me.......They are sophisticated yet devils. My so-called dad is an apathetic person in short. My family is something i dont ever want to talk about.

This room always evokes my past, with my mom. Her arms around me was the most heart warming demeanour of hers. I still had the rabbit mom gave me on my 11th birthday.

The door cracked open, interrupting my beautiful yet sad memories which I shared with my mom. Making me startled and jump back to the farthest corner of my room. Scared to know who stepped inside this room, my brain memorizing the worst of all. The past traumatizing each and every part of my body.

Hyperthymesia's took over me. I can feel the vulnerable state I was in, covered in sweat and shivering out of fear.

'Hey! It's me.....don't be scared', I heard him whispering to me. My eyes were heavy, everything was blurry. My head hurts a lot, it usually happens when I'm too scared to face them. I wanted to see him, he rarely visits me because its something dad dosen't like. But I was too tired and scared to reply or look up. And that's when darkness consumed me.

...............

I woke up to find my mom caressing my hairs with her soft hands. She was still young and as beautiful as she was 6 years ago. Her smile let out all the worries out of me. After a while the door cracked open revealing my dad with his most sweet smiles I have come across with. Coming closer, he sat down on a chair next to my bed with my favourite soft toy on it. This moment was one of those I had been dreaming about for so long.

They were like this, loving, caring and fun-loving when I was 11. We were a happy family like the solar system. My dad was never like what he is rn, mischievous.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard a painful cry. Shockness was all over my mind, I was blank.

My dad stabbed my mom mercilessly on her back. She was covered in blood.....

Their each and every word seems to be inaudible to my ears. The entire scene came to an end....

Realization hit me hard, it was a freaking nightmare. My nightmares have been with me for a long time. They have been about everything and in their worst possibilities. But my mom have never been a part my dreams after her death, she was finally a part of my dream. 'Not a dream but a nightmare'.

I was all sweaty and scared yet relieved that it was just a nightmare. Looking around my room I found my brother standing next to my bed, worried. He had never been so close to me ever.

"I tried waking you up". He told me.

He has always been good to me. He sometimes tries to make some conversations with me but disappointment is all what he gets. I never took pains to reply his questions or talk back to him.

"You don't have to be here anymore" he stated, making me confuse. What are they up to, are they going to kill me?...its better then being here all alone or, sell me to someone who's gonna be worst then them?

"You'll be out of here soon, a man will be here tomorrow night, don't be scared of him." Did he got someone to get me out of here.....?

"You'll stay with him until dad believes you are no more and everything gets to normal. Dad wouldn't be able to even guess about you being with him. We both will run away as far as possible from this place so that, dad won't be able to find us." He thought about all this, I thought he won't do anything which is out of dad's command. He have always done what dad commanded him to... He never went out for parties or to have fun with his friends. He even got ready to marry a girl dad choose for him. He never told dad about his dreams or his goals. He have always been quite, all by himself. Never told dad that he loved someone else, nor about his likes or dislikes.
