Taming the demon

chapter nine

Mia's POV:

What did he just say? He couldn't but why? Wasn't he threatening me yesterday about what he did with other girls? I was perplexed by his sudden behavior and now this. WAIT.

Oh, God! He might treat his prey well before he kills them. A psychic habit. He likes to play with his prey. Slow torture. Will I ever be able to escape from here or will my destiny end here? Twisted, tangled, connected, passionate, Death. That's it. My life is going to end here. Just like what that seer said. I didn't voluntarily come here but my destiny hauled me here. Might as well be useless to do anything as no one can fight with what's already written in your destiny. I'm very much acquainted with it. I huffed out a deep breath. Isn't it what I wished for always? To be free. To end the torture. But I didn't know that the stakes would be this high. Maybe I asked for freedom too much that the angels decided to set me free from this tormenting life...for eternity. I looked up at the pink blanket of the sky as the sun started setting down. Time seemed to pass very quickly here. Just like this passing time, I will pass too. Leaving everything behind.

Once a caged bird,

Always stay caged.

It has no right to dream of freedom,

As this dream is way too far to be fetched

Counting the days passing by,

Looks like it's finally time for the bird to pass by.

Crossing with nothing but trapped memories,

Dear moon! I shall bid you my last goodbye.

Tears stung my eyes. Can I cry? No. He will take it as my weakness. I have to die anyway. So I would rather die a brave death. I sniffed back my tears and lay down on the bed. I looked at the moon through the opened ceiling. A shadow crossed over it. I startled. He must've flown through it. I huffed a breath that suddenly got trapped in my throat. He asked- no mocked me about my parents today. But he was right. My parents must be worried about me. So what if they're not here, they are looking at me from up there. They must have gotten worried about me just like any other day. They must be crying for me as I do for them. Come to think of it, I'll soon meet them. I'll be together with them once again. Just like we used to be a very long time ago. He mocked me as much as he wanted and I was raging but what would have I done? He got no right to know about it and I'm not going to tell him. I'm not going to be a cripple in front of him anymore. I heard a hum from somewhere near.

On my pillow,

Can Get me tired

Sharing my fragile truth

That I still hope the door is open

Cause the window

Open one time with you...and me

Now my forever's falling down

Wondering if you want me now,

His deep voice resonated through the forest mixed with multiple emotions. His voice always sounds empty but today something was different in it. An emotion of longing, yearning, missing, warmth, and love. His voice was oddly soothing.

How could I know

One day I'll wake up feeling more

But I had already reached the shore

Guess we were ships in the night, night, night

I lay back on the bed, and it creaked. His voice helped waver those thoughts I had been having. I heaved a long sigh. I felt my lids getting heavier with each passing second. Without realizing I dozed off into a heavy deep slumber.
