ENTANGLED STRINGS OF PAST

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

Hazel Grey

**NIGHTMARE**

"Everything will be okay haze," Jennet said assuring me with tears in her eyes but I felt the hope we had all this year, was fading in darkness. But the demons inside me shout, "You will never be able to get out of this hell!" every time Jennet says that we will be happy again.

"Boss wants to see you" one of his men called again. "I'll be fine," I said to Jennet assuring myself more than her.

Every time he calls me a wave of horror washes over me, I feel so helpless in front of him, so cowardly!

"Come to me sweetheart!" his sinister smile disgusted me. I saw a man tied to the chair in front of him. Despite his calling, I stayed frozen in my spot.

I tried to hide my shaking hands, as he was coming to me; he grabbed my hand tightly and dragged me to the man. "When I say come to me, fucking come to me!" she shouted in my ears.

"Now meet Mr. Marc" he forced me to look at the man. "He is one of my highly trusted guards. But lately, he decided to betray me!" he shouted again.

"I want to see him suffer sweetheart!" my eyes widened; "I want you to torture him!" he laughed, and my heart skipped a beat or two, I don't know; all I could hear was his terrible laughs.

"No! No! no! I can't do this" I backend from him, and his laughs stopped abruptly. He brutally held my arm, and forced my eyes into his, "I will NOT repeat myself" his eyes shouted danger, but I couldn't do it. I was holding my tears so hard that my eyes started burning.

"Please, don't make me do this "I tried to plead, he let go of me but nodded at one of his men. I thought there was still hope but I was wrong. I WAS HELL WRONG!

I heard Jennette's cries, his men were dragging her from her hair. "NO! Please stop!" I cried to him and tried to run towards Jennifer but he grabbed my hair, "either he will suffer or your friend will! Choice is your sweetheart" he threatened.

I didn't have a choice, I never wanted to do that but he made me do it.

I took the knife from one of his men. "I'm sorry," I said to the man tied to the chair and slashed his face with my blade. I continued stabbing him; I couldn't see anything all I was doing was stabbing him, all I could hear were laughs ringing through my ears and the cries of that man haunting me. I stabbed him until he was nothing but a mess of blood and flesh, and I was bathed in his blood, even my hair dripping his blood.

He was crying in my ears but I didn't stop! I killed him! Now covered in his blood!

All I could feel was red liquid on my arms, clothes, and hands. ON MY FUCKING FACE!

My eyes shoot open. I was panting heavily, covered in sweat; head to toe. A wave of horror waved over me when I felt the skin of my arms. MY JACKET!

. I saw my jacket lying on the floor, my scars were on display. I rushed towards the bathroom and closed the door tightly.

"What the hell happened last night?" I tried to recall everything.

I remember, deleting Ezar's phone number from the phone. Although it was useless as it could be recovered deleting it was the only option I could choose at that time when Aiden turned towards Mary. There was still a chance that it would not create any suspiciousness.

I also remembered that after Aiden walked out of the club Mary and I went to the bar. She got high after 1 bottle while I was on my second. I had a high alcohol tolerance but still, I pretended I was high so I could extract some information from her.
