Behold Till Eternity

ch: 18

📌 Warning: some sénsitive tópics

My body àched, muscles tórn, bones húmming and scréaming from last night. I was curled on the cold floor of my cell, my face was pressed against the floor. Blóod dried along my jaw. I could still féel the càble wirés bité into my ribs.

Sleep wasn't sleep. My chest was sticky from sweat and dried bløod and my shirt is clinging on me like a second skin.

That's when I heard it. The iron clink and my eyes blinked open. The cell door creaked and I knew the guards footsteps. Or Doctors? officers? Parasites in uniform.

But these footsteps were different.
Slower. Not heavy, not rushed like someone walking into a room he already had a purpose in their every steps.

I looked up and few metres away standing was none other than Karhan Agarkar. Ella's brother- Airforce pilot Karhan Agarkar. Wearing a dark Ash hoodie, half-zipped, with a black leather jacket flung over it. His hair an little mess, like the wind had purposely ruined it.

I meet my gaze with his eyes- Blue eyes.

In this country where brown eyes is religion, his blue eyes looks like rebellion.

His eyes aren't soft, or kind, or anything like that. No emotion in them. Nothing like his sister's. Ella's eyes-those deep, raven-black eyes-are the only kind of dark that feels beautiful. They light up when she smiles and I just hope she never has to cry with them. Not like how she did for me yesterday.

He started to walk towards me. Same height as me. But somehow, the air around him is different like it had to learn how to breathe again.

I sat up, slow. My body screaming with aftermath pain. My wrist stúmp burned. My jaw clicked. My back screamed- Evrything in my body is uncomfortable.

The guard standing near the door glanced at Karhan, there voice eager, too eager. "Sir, should I get the tàser? Or... any of the toóls?"

Tools.
