Malcolm night : the detour to the hall of shadows

Chapter 18 : The nightmare of Rose

ROSE POV

I stumbled back and shook my head and laughed loudly as he just smirked at me as he flicked and I doubled over. I vomited "H-How ??" scare seemed inevident in my eyes, for the monster in front of me smiled wickedly. After all these years I had thought that I found the solution to save myself from his powers but yet here I was trapped in his trap. Suddenly my surroundings changed as I found myself in that very car that was on top of me as my foster parents fought for my life.

I had always resented them, why ??

Maybe because they were foster. Or maybe because I had seen my parents die in front of me. Since then I hadn't been open to anyone I was a loner with...ah some disabilities. I still remembered the discussion my would-be parents and the head of the orphanage were having. Of course, both of them were good but still, I needed some time because whomever I came close to ended up dying. I could feel my subconscious mind trying to fight it but failing miserably. After a long cackle, my vision continued. I wailed. We were traveling fast, something had been bothering my parents lately as they kept looking back at their shoulders and kept muttering something as they kept driving. I just sat still not a care in the world. Too busy to show my discomfort I fiddled with my cube, trying to lighten up the mood, my father, Nicholas joked "My baby has gone so smart isn't she ??" I could still notice the fear in his voice. Fear, I was oblivious to and suddenly when I was going to get finished with my cube, our car tripped and smashed into something big, it was now that I realized we were in big trouble. A big monster stood in our way. It shook the car violently until we were completely out in the open and as his big nail was going to stab me, someone pushed me and then got aside, his nail colliding with the road making a huge hole. I was too petrified to move. My father took hold of me and started running to the woods. This path was completely desolated and we couldn't expect help for before two hours. My father's chest heaved up and down as we ran along the woods with my mom and the monster trailing us. Suddenly, my father threw me as blood sprinkled on me. My eyes widened with shock as I saw my father stabbed, not moving with wide eyes and his mouth wide open. I could hear the monster cackling "You can never escape me... No one has ever lived when I make them my prey. Suddenly his hungry eyes turned to me no, my mother as he launched himself at us. My mother tried to outrun him but she soon ended up just like my father. Why ?? Why had they done this ?? It was clear t-that thing wanted me yet, they didn't surrender me to him and had died, They weren't even my real parents and yet...they had died saving me. I screamed and suddenly I rose in the sky. The monster didn't seem to be surprised as things around me started to rise. Anger was swelling inside me, hatred has already taken over me, I wanted revenge, the blood of that monster to quench the thirst of my vengeance. I shouted one more time as all the things that I held got thrown on him but he just smirked as exhaustion took over me and I dropped. Still sobbing, he held me up and said "From now on, I am your mentor." and within a flash, we reached this place, a big underground palace of none other than Spyridos. Training relentlessly had become my life. Those days of torture. Why was I training with him you ask ?? Because right now I didn't have enough strength to beat him. And it seems even now I don't.

I knew what would be happening...the event will take place again and again until I lose my sanity. This is what he does. The only way to stop it is to let it take over so that's what I do as it feeds on my fear and sorrow making me hollow.
