Envelope by Darkness

Kidnapped

        The darkness settled around me, daring the light to shine on these dark events. Once blind to the cruel darkness of this world, only to find myself submerged in lies, unspeakable horrors, and insanity. My misfortune began when I unknowingly caught the attention of a psychopath, never in my life have I met someone so evil and despicable... As I was saying, one day when I went to the market to buy groceries, I collided with a tall burly gentleman. Little did I know that was the beginning of my downfall. Hours before I talked to my friend Jenifer about the Birthday party I planned for my eighteenth birthday. Jennifer reminded me even though I was going to be eighteen I hadn’t even been on a date yet. 

        She then said “if you don’t find a date before your birthday I’m  going to find someone for you to go on a date with.”

         I then told her “I want to graduate high school before I started to date.” 

        She replied “what if something bad happens before then, people keep on disappearing and the cops haven’t been able to catch  the culprit.”

         “Don’t worry nothing like that could ever happen to us, we are too smart for that to happen to us.”

          Quickly apologizing I went along my business. Days after I persistently felt eyes ominously  following my every movement. Until one day I felt a presence behind me, and then I smelt a sickly sweet scent then the light faded making me falls into a drug-induced slumber.

        As I regained mobility I felt rope digging into my skin, then I see the burly stranger from before staring malevolently at me, as if he was envisioning several different ways to kill me and enjoying every second of it. The dark figure chuckled basking in the fear that radiated in waves as my body shook. Each movement causing the ropes to tighten increasing my pain by a ten fold, I screamed in anguish. As I took in my surroundings, I saw that I was not the only one tied up in this dungeon like room. Bodies slumped in resignation, each looking more gruesome than the last, all were covered in blood. As I breathe the air, it the radiates the evil that has been done here. 

        Smack, pain radiated through my skull as I force my attention to the dark figure before me. Cracking his knuckles he clasps the sides of my head, causing to grimace in pain as his finger dug into my skull.I whimpered from the onslaught of pain, then darkness clouded my vision as my consciousness faded into complete and utter darkness.

        When I finally regain consciousness I felt pain across my whole body.  Blood and sweat clings to me like a second skin. I look in horror as I saw necklace of fingers adorning me neck. Shrieks echoed in the room, until finally the shrieks stopped. Loud footsteps approached. The burly stranger smirks, staring down at me with glee as he cracked his knuckles. Grabbing the back of my chair he spins it around causing it to face several corpses oozing out blood. I looked up as the man’s smirk transforms into a sadistic smile causing me to grimace. I tried to scream only to notice I couldn’t make a sound. Only then did I notice that my airways felt constricted. The man began to leave only to turn around, pushing the chair over so that I am at eye level with the corpse…

        I awoke to see the man dragging the corpse away, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Moments later he came back and untied the ropes that kept me bound, causing me slump out of the chair. He then picked me up, and carried me to a wheel barrow. Pain radiated around my spine as I was dropped inside the wheel barrow. While pushing the wheelbarrow the man whistles with glee. I look up and see trees all around me swaying as the breeze glided through the branches. The breeze fluttered around me causing my hair to raise higher and higher. Then the wind churned ominously before ceasing, the woods were silent. The forest grew denser, and the light began to fade. The wheelbarrow stopped suddenly, causing my body to slam into it. The man tilts the wheelbarrow and I fall out causing me to grimace in pain. I noticed the wood walls surrounded me; I try to raise my hand to pull myself up only to find I couldn’t even move a finger.
