Lovers Lie

1

"Run, Aurora!" That was the last thing I heard. I can't remember what I saw...Everything just went dark. It all happened so fast. One minute Everyone was screaming and the next it was dead silent. I can't see anything, it's just dark. I don't know where I am. The floor is...hard and cold.

 Suddenly a door slams shut, I know I'm not alone. "Who's there!?" silence...all I hear is the tracking of feet. Step, pause, scribble, step, pause scribble. I tell myself I'm not scared, I've had training for years...I can beat anyone. Anyone that hasn't been trained of course.

 Suddenly someone grunts out, "Stand up." Normally I'd stay here but, something tells me this person is not to be messed with. Does this make me truly want to stay on the ground? Yes. But, I learned that if I listen I may have better chances at living. I Stood, I attempted to take in more of the room but it was pitch black. However, whatever is in here isn't human. No human can visibly see well enough in the dark to scope out a person. I think. Step, pause, scribble, step, pause, scribble.

 I need to figure out what happened...all I remember is my name being shouted and being told to run. Clearly I didn't run fast enough. I'm stuck here and I know it. It's okay dad will find me, he'll use the tracker. I rubbed my fingers gently across the skin of my palm, nervous but mostly scared. Scared that whatever hell forsaken creature is in this room will kill me. 

"Do you ever stop Thinking?" it's spit out as a snarky comment. Father told me to not retaliate but if they're going to be an asshole, then I don't see the problem. "No, do you ever stop scribbling shit down?" He laughs, he just laughed at that. Oh you've got to be joking. "First off, I can see you and second I'm not just scribbling shit down...I'm writing down your features and thoughts." He can see me...so I was right.

 Yet, why is he scribbling my shit down? "Good question," he scoffs. "Dear ol' daddy didn't need you anymore. Said your training was pointless, it didn't affect him much since dear old' mother died. He decided money was better than having a daughter" I felt myself gasp but no sound came out. No one ever said it out loud...she was dead. I knew she was dead but even dad ignored the topic and money over me.

 He would never just trade me for money, never. "Never, never, never, get it in your head. He didn't give two shits about you. He tossed you out, he acted like you were a piece of shit." He seemed angry. But I'm angry too, he can't just say this shit about my father, he didn't know him. Mistakes will be made and I'm willing to make them. I took a deep breath and 

slowly drew it out, "You didn't know him, you don't know the shit he suffered. You didn't know my family, how can you just assume he wanted money. Maybe you're just a fucking liar. My father would never betray me. He loves me and my mother deeply." I took a step closer to what I assumed was him. "That man raised me, along with my magnificent mother. You don't know what it was like. You never got to experience the love they've shown me." 

Tears were streaming down my cheek and all I wanted to do was collapse. Collapse into a ball and just bawl. So I did, I sank into the floor ignoring the man looking down on me and cried. He didn't leave, he just sat down somewhere. It's still dark but he can see me as he said. At this point though I couldn't care. He insulted my family and I stuck up for them, no matter what the truth is...I will always stick up for my family. I repeated that in my head as I cried for what felt like hours.

 Eventually I wiped my tears, I had no clue what I was going to do but, I needed to make one thing clear. I stood up and ignored the dizziness. I stood and looked around. I set my eyes on him. "You don't know my family and you have no right to make any assumptions. They may not be the best people but they're my people." He didn't say anything, I felt him walk past me, his shoulder I assumed grazing my shoulder. 

I heard a handle but it never was fully pushed down, so I waited for him to speak. "Lay down, you're going to need the energy." The only thing he said before walking out. The door completely shut for what I assumed and the Lights turned on. 

The lights revealed a single bed, a couch, and neat desk and chair and a light in the middle. The switch was on the wall beside the door. Everything was plain, gray walls, grayish floors, and black sheets. A headache in a room, that's not including him.

 He is a liar. He told me things that could never and would never be true. He told me lies that no one would dare say. Except him, a liar. My mother may have died but he has no right to speak of my family like that. The man I just met made me snap , the man that has never met me. 

The man that surveyed me when I could do nothing. The man that broke what I was held together with. The man that took me. I was crying, tears streaming, sunken on the floor, hidden alone, and broken.
