The Darkness Within

Chapter 6- Taken

Hai ^_^ I've been posting rather frequently on 'The Darkness Within' but i have not yet updated 'Ashes and Blood' I have had quite a few requests that i write another chapter to 'Ashes and Blood' and will try to meet those requests :) Anyway, here is the next Chapter to 'The Darkness Within' hopefully its starting to get more interesting for people :D Also this chapter is very broken up due to the lapsing of time.

When the cool air of outside hit my face, I dropped my calm facade and broke into a run, The boy had followed me out of the shopping centre, he must've noticed my shoplifting, he was gonna catch me or call the cops or something, i have to lose him I thought to myself as I ran faster taking unexpected turns. I heard footsteps coming up rapidly behind me, i wasn't fit enough, he'd surely catch me soon, just as i thought that, something heavy was on top of me, the air was pushed out of me as I rolled to the side to break my fall.

I sat there struggling for breath as the boy brought a rag to my face, It smelt rotten in a sickly sweet way, soon my head felt heavy and i closed my eyes...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up inside a dark room, My head felt heavy and I had to strain to make my eyes focus, I was slumped against a white plaster wall, in one corner there was a wooden bed with a white doona and pillow, against another wall was a wooden dresser, the door was plain and white and appeared to lock from the other side. I got up drowsily and tried the light switch, only to find that the light was busted. I Reached into my hoodie and pulled out the Mars bar, It was mushy and mangled, I ate it anyway, covering my hands and face in nougat, caramel and chocolate, as I licked my fingers clean and wiped it off of my face, I walked over to the wardrobe, it was empty, upon finding this I also realised that my backpack was gone all my graphites, my sketchbook and the items I had stolen were gone.

Instead of being even vaguely normal and making a racket, I walked over to the bed, laid down, looked at the plain white roof and let the darkness and hollowness consume me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time passed and it kept passing, I kept no track of it. I just thought. and looked at the roof whilst not really focusing on any specific aspect of it. the heaviness and hollowness was consuming me, I longed for someone, but i had no one, i was alone, I had always been alone and now I was even more so than ever. Tears started to stream down my face as I wondered what was so wrong with me. what was so wrong with me so that i ended up this alone? Why did noone ever want me. Its because your broken i told myself no one wants a broken toy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suddenly the door swung open breaking me out of my trance like state, in stepped the boy, with his shining cobalt eyes, dark hair and death pale skin. He walked towards me slowly and deliberately, i sat up, i stared at his face looking for a hint of something, but I could not tell anything, his face showed nothing. He stopped about a metre before me, looking into my green eyes with his Deep Blue ones. "Sorry" He whispered with sorrow and pain flashing into his eyes before he grabbed me by the arm and began to steer me out of the room.

I was lead through a maze of cold plain corridors by his warm touch, we continued to walk until we reached a warm looking room with a fire and several plush chairs, a stern looking woman sat there, she had cold grey eyes, her mouth was a thin line and she had horns? yes there seemed to be thick horns growing from her silver head of hair. "leave" she stated simply at the boy.

"What about-" he started

"Leave" she cut him off sternly. He bowed his head and with a final sorrowful look at me he left. "Sit" she commanded, turning her cold gaze onto me. I sat down on the plush chair without a word.

We sat in silence for several minutes as she examined every feature on my from her spot on the chair. Finally she opened her mouth to speak "Rosemary Webb?" she inquired

"Yes" I said putting on my calm facade, then deciding to be daring I asked "And you are?"

"You need not know my name and, just for the record, i will be asking the questions from now on"

"Ok Ma'am"

"You belong to me now Rosemary"

"wh-at?"

"You belong to me" she repeated

"Why?" what the fuck did she want from me what could possibly have that she would want?

" You have something of mine, which i cannot get off of you yet, so by default you are mine"

I could not comprehend what had been said, have something of hers?? Was it her whose house I robbed or something?? I thought back to all the photographs I had seen in the house, I'm sure I would've recalled the horned woman if I saw her. It couldn't have been that, but with that ruled out; what could it be??

Before I knew it she had started speaking again, "any more information would be wasted on you, you are barely able to process what I just told you. Zillon shall show you the way back to your room and will answer any of your questions if he is allowed"

And with that the boy reentered the room and took me out.
