Rewarded Struggle

Chapter 4

nothing to say sooo enjoy......_________________________________________________

    The past week I've been at the Edmund household, has been nothing less of ackward and tense. Samantha, the only person to make me feel welcome other then the workers, was obviously trying to break the thick tension, but of no avail.

    Lawrence was barely even around. Never for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Well that's what I thought cause I barely saw him and when I did he would always be staring at me with an emotionless glare which didn't help me know what he was thinking of me at all. He sure as hell wasn't making my stay here any better, but I'd rather him ignore me then give me his attitude. I really felt bad for Samantha though. For having to deal with him.

       

      There was this one time where he just...I dont even know. Like straight up ignored me. I was getting out of my room carrying Ana. Her being the annoying child she is, started playing with my face and covering my eyes causing me to walk blindly where I thought I was supposed to go. I tried to take off her hands by moving my face, but I couldnt and for me to properly remove them would make me drop her. Because of this I bumped into someone. Expecting one of the workers or Samantha I looked up and apoligized at the same time. I was met with cold, emotionless, but nonetheless breathtaking amber eyes that were glaring at me with annoyance. I opened my mouth to say something back for him glaring me, but he turned around and left without a word. Douche. I don't like you either, but you don't see me expressing it.

        Ana, on the other hand couldn't be any happier. She absolutely loved it here and if I was her age I would to. It was like a baby paradise. She had a whole playroom that looked three times as big as my house and was filled with all sorts of toys. She even had a 40 inch flat screen television that took up half the wall. Why would a two year old even need that big of a T.V.? To damage her eyes? We didn't have a T.V. back in my little den. We couldn't help ourself with that luxory. I needed things othe then that and I was barely even home to watch anything.

     She reminded me of the modern day Cinderella, but in a baby version. From rags to riches. Same main point, but different plot. I felt happy for her. A lot more then I can express cause I wasn't the type who was easy to express and say what she feels. I had a hard time telling my mom I loved her for godsakes.

      Ana deserved this kind of life, especially for her age and what she had to go through. But for me to be there with her watching her so happy made just as happy and maybe even more.

      *~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*

   The street I knew I was on, was spacious, but completely and utterly dark. I couldn't see what was on the other side or what lay right in front of me. I couldn't even see Ana anywhere, but I didn't panic as I should have. I felt as if I didn't need to see her. That she didn't belong here. Or where ever I was. A street light flickered on and I saught the light to show me where I was. As I got close, I saw the figure of a man standing under it. The dim light was behind him which cast a shadow over the front of his body, so I couldn't see his face. I felt him staring right at me. Even though I couldn't see his face I knew I knew him. The light then flickered off and I was again surrounded by complete darkness. No words were spoken, but I knew he was still infront of me. The air started becoming thick and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I started becoming dizzy, so before I felt like passing out I turned around and ran as fast as I could. I didn't hear him behind me, but I kept running faster wanting to just go home where it was safe. But where was that now? I ran faster and faster, aimlessly so he wouldn't catch up. I just wanted to get out of here. Something bad was bound to happen. Not being able to see anything I smaked into a wall and fell down, my body falling on the cold, damp, and hard floor causing a loud defeaning sound. I quickly got up so he wouldn't catch up to me and used my hands as my eyes to find an end to the wall. I lifted my hand up to see if I can climb it, but lifted my hand to the point I was barely standing and couldn't feel an end. I led my hands left of the wall expecting an ending, but after what felt like hours of running all I felt was the hard brick of the wall. I ran the oppisite way to find and end on the right side, now praying to find a way out. Barely walking one step I felt a corner which led to another wall. Not having time to search that wall, I turned around only to bump into the last wall, which supposedly had no ending. Now I started panicking more then I already have. My heart beating way to fast and I, coated with a thick layer of sweat.

       

        I knew what was going on...I was being cornered. I outstretched both my hands and felt the walls were closing in on me...way to fast. I moved forward,only to bump into another wall. I slid down the wall since there was no where to go anyway. My face was coated with tears and sweat. I was rocking back and forth knowing this was it. I give up. Then the walls stopped moving. I stopped breathing. The wall infront of me was suddenly gone. The light flickered back on. I looked up and I was met with the man from before, but this time a cruel sardonic smirk curved his lips. To frightened to speak I strained to meet his eyes. To see who he was. My eyes wide a frightened gasp leaving my mouth, I was looking at dark green eyes which would be mistaken for black, but I knew better. I knew those eyes. It was him. He fulfilled his promise. He was here. Logan. I screamed.
