SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

CHAPTER EIGHT

Her body could not move and she knew this feeling. She has felt it so many times before. The pain and suffering of her past will soon take her away this time. The longer that she waits and cannot move, the more she knows that she will not make it this time. Whatever will be done to her now will forever take her. The darkness around her frightens her even more than it has ever done in the past. Her thoughts racing as she does all that she can to avoid the pain which flushes through her body. Pain that continues to grow with every second that goes by.

The agony comes in waves and crashes on her. She can feel her body twitching from the pain but she can't move it. She can feel her body and all the pain that is happening to her. The pain that is becoming so much that it will soon enough take her life and all that she has been through in the past will be nothing compared to this. Like all the agony and suffering that she has been through will be put together. Deeply within her the pain nearly forces her into slumber, what wakes her is how the door opens...

Only this time, it was not a dream and the door opened for real like it always did. His dark chuckle she could hear. The darkness was her only friend at the moment and what made it better was that she could not see him. He could see her. He always did. He told so himself that he would always see her. Whether she was with him or not, he could always see her. She wanted to die right now than have him in the room with her, she wanted death more than she has ever wanted anything.

"You've been a very bad, bad girl. Do you know what happened to naughty girls?" He asks. His voice is like knives in her ears that she wishes were real so that she could stab them into her ears so that she would never have to hear his voice ever again. She can feel him touch her skin on her ankle as he grabs it and squeezes tightly. "They get punished" He says and laughs at her, his laugh so cold and cruel that she feels shivers run down her spine as the panic warms its way to her body.

Feeling something cold on her skin where he touches her, it stings into her ankle. A needle. For a moment, he lets it stay like that. Allow her to feel how he stings her with it and it pains her. He is playing with her like if she were his doll. Then she feels it enter her body. Some liquid. A liquid that will burn her. It already has begun to burn her. "A new and improved version" He speaks. His voice hoarse and so cruel and cold that it makes it even worse.

The burn begins as a subtle burn, then it becomes hotter and hotter with every second. Her body twitches even more than it already did. Like if she has been hit with a lightning during a storm but so much worse than that. She can't scream. Her mouth refuses to open. All she is left with is the pain in her body which she can feel but she still can't move it. Karina thinks that this might actually be the end and that is what she would want. The nightmares became reality and reality will kill her soon enough.

Her stomach feels sick and her head is dizzy as she has this feeling that she's going to vomit. She gags but nothing comes out. Her mouth does not even open when she does. It pains her and the tears are falling down from her eyes. His dark laugh in her ears make it worse for her. The seconds feel like days when they pass as the pain is so intense that she feels like she has been thrown into a furnace where the tongues of the fire is licking her skin and burning her from the inside out.

The pain in her skin is worse than she has ever felt. Where it feels like she is on fire and still at the same time she is choking in the Atlantic Ocean by the North Pole which is so cold that her body would not be able to handle the temperature. Time is so slow to pass and she wonders if it does pass. Though, all that is in her might is pain. Her brain can feel nothing but agony and that is how she is going to be taken away from this world, in pain. Just as she arrived.
