My body shakes with fright and chills. Anything sharp pierced the sensitive feet without a warning. A girl, alone, in the middle of the deep forest, surrounded by nothing but darkness. Suicide will be the only option for any other but she knew she had to be strong. After all, this wasn't the first time. As time went by the pain became unbearable. This was when she saw a shadow, the shadow of a creature that can't be mistaken for that of an animal. Then she collapsed.

"It was surprising how I could hear my heart pumping against my chest in an unsteady manner. I thought once you die, you will not feel anything. I moved my eyes around and I couldn't believe I made it to heaven. Everywhere was white.
"She's awake" I turned my head to where the voice came from and saw an angel. "Didn't they tell us that angels were not the way we thought they were? To be frank my skin was whiter than hers and she had no wings. "Why don't you have wings? Did God take them away?" I found myself asking and I could see the shock on her face. "Emily does the painkiller has any unknown side effects or did you give her anaesthesia?" The woman's question got me wondering. "No, she might be hallucinating" They both broke into laughter. This was when I realized I didn't die and I was in a room which looked less than a hospital. Before I could calm my curious part, they both walked out still laughing. I sat on the bed and observed the room. There was a collection of clothes and other female products. I smelled my body and realised how much I smelled bad. I walked to the bathroom which wasn't hard to point out for my bath. I stepped out after about two hours and I got back my vanilla mixed with rose scent. Just in my bathrobe I sat with my partially dry hair and ate the food on the small table. After several hours, I woke up not realising when I had fallen asleep. I hope no one entered the room cause my rope had loosened and opened successfully exposing my body. I dressed up after applying the pomade and walked out of the room to look for my helper. I walked through the hallway and the further I go the more I hear giggles behind me.
"OMG! I think she's going to replace Bianca."
"Of course she will, she is even prettier"
"Not only is her face gorgeous but her body is beyond thickness."
"Maybe, Sir. Francis wants to get married to her to escape Bianca. Since his mother is forcing him."
After walking a distance, I felt tired so I decided to go back. The person who brought me here will come and visit me. But before I could move another step I heard a cold, icey ,commanding voice. "Seems you're well" I turned and saw him seated. Unlike what I thought, he looked perfect. For a moment I was gobsmacked. Even though my brain prevented me from speaking, it did prevent my legs from moving towards the most handsome man I've seen in my twenty-two years of living." If you stare too much, you might go blind" He said plainly. This time his voice was soft and warm. "Uhm sorry, I was grateful and didn't know how to thank you.". " Don't worry, is okay." Francis wished he could ask her what she was doing in the forest at that time but according to Dr Philip, she might be traumatised . "Mom" Francis got up and hugged his mum. Mrs Wilson simply took her seat and asked calmly. "May I know who you are?" Her question was straight which I wasn't prepared to answer but for whatever reason, I simply said." I'm Francis' girlfriend" I could see the shock on Francis' face as well as his mum. oh no what did I do?

I close the door behind me and sat on the bed. A series of emotions run through me like water. It has been a month and I've not heard from my family. I wanted to call Mum but I was scared the first question might break me so I contacted Rhia instead. The phone rang for just a few seconds and she picked up.
"Hazel!!!!" I was scared of ear rapture so I had to move the phone from my ear before putting it back a few seconds later.
"What is wrong with you?"
"Why have you not called or answered me?"
"Are you okay?"
The question came leaving no space between them. I didn't even know how to explain things for her to understand.
"Calm down Rhia. I'm perfectly fine. You see I'm even speaking." I said and I could hear her exhale. I knew she wanted to ask more questions but I asked her instead." What is the sound in the background?" I checked the screen when she didn't speak but the call was on going so I knew something was wrong. "Tell me Rhia I'm perfectly fine," I said even though tears were streaming down my cheeks nonstop. "Hazel.... be strong. You know my shoulder is not there for you to cry on."Rhia said playfully but I knew she was just trying to comfort me in case I was crying." Tell me".
"They are celebrating the success of the company." This time my sobs became louder and I cried trying to ease the pain in my heart but the pain wouldn't stop. I could also hear the person who told me to be strong crying as well.
I cut the call and threw the phone somewhere not caring about where it landed and cried more until I heard a knock.
"Oh no!" I wondered what the person behind the door will think of me if he or she sees my swollen eyes I quickly grabbed the concealer and applied it but it didn't make any difference. Luckily there were glasses there that I wore to cover my eyes.
When I opened the door, he stood there emotionless. I wondered why he didn't come in since the door was not locked. Suddenly, I trembled feeling as if cubes of ice have been poured over me. I felt chills all around me realising what I did.
"I'm sorry about what happened. To be frank I didn't know what came over me. I overheard the maids talking about how your mum is forcing you to marry someone you don't like. so.. so... I thought that if I say that, she might stop..." After I finished speaking, he stood there unaffected and kept staring at me."Well, I'm sorry if I did anything wrong. I thought I was repaying you for helping me.".Good job!" I heard him say while he smiled widely.
