Captured By Darkness

Chapter 3

Captured By Darkness

Staring at the ghastly refection in the mirror I don't know who looks back at me, She's un recognizable, expression empty, lost and alone. Shadows constantly underneath what used to be happy sapphire eyes. Hair that's been hacked off now barley covers the top of her ears. The long smooth golden locks vanished reveals the damage done to her swollen black and blue face.

Smiling is a motion I've long forgotten along with laughter. The images of  the pain in my brothers beautiful green eyes will haunt me for eternity. If only I got to hug him one last time, put aside what he did to me for a split second, just to be able to feel his loving brotherly touch he once gave me, the only person on this forsaken planet who actually showed me what that feels like. But now he's gone and my damaged fragile body will never feel that way again, a precious piece of me stripped away, half of my heart now cold, empty, and it's no one else's fault except my own.

It's been days since I last had my welcome home encounter with Nate, which isn't like him at all. I could see it in his twisted eyes, he was worried about something, and he wasn't as rough with me like he used to be. I think he even ever so slightly knew what he was doing was wrong. If that's even possible? I mean there isn't a gentle bone in that man's body, but I know him as much as I hate to admit it, better than anyone and last week's activity he was defiantly out of sorts. which thinking back now is why he blanked out the audience, he didn't want them to see that he is in fact is as weak as me.

One of the Nurses comes in to inspect my wounds, which are healing nicely. My twin black eyes are now a greenie yellow colour and the gash on the back of my head has been cleaned out properly and re stitched. The black bruising on my back have faded nicely too and are now purple. I do have a few new ones from Nate but there are nothing compared to the monstrous ones I'd received from my capturers.

"He loves you, you know."

I gasp horrified by her annoying voice and turn to her raising my brow.

"Nathaniel, he loves you." She says again making me cringe hearing his name.

My eyes burn into her face thinking if I do it long enough she will explode.

"What the fuck does Nate know about love? Are you completely insane!?"

She gives me a sad confused smile adjusting her black slim designer glasses, "No but you are, he gave you the world and you selfishly through it back in his face by running away."

I tug at my restraints snarling at her utterly pissed off, what the fuck does she know the tart?!  "I'll tell you what he gives me." I hiss spitting at her lenses.

"Pain!, physically and mentally, I want to get as far away from him and his fucking empire as possible, I hate him more than anyone on this degrading planet for the misery he's caused me!"

My voice croaked through my chest, the nurse shakes her head typing up her report into the computer.

"Is that so?" Came the voice that makes me quiver with fear..

My heart stops functioning, shifting my snarl for him standing arms crossed smirking furiously at me, he nods for the nurse to leave. she pats me on the shoulder, and with a hint of laughter she says "Oh dear." Twirling round in the stool she strolls over to Nate shaking her skinny ass at me as she does, I really hope one day that smug bitch falls over her heels and breaks an ankle. Or two.

"Back for round two?" I ask him through the mirrors.

The mirror door slides down behind him, he walks towards me looking not as angry today, maybey even a bit confused. I don't fear him, not yet anyway. He takes a seat next to me replacing the nurse, I prepare myself for him to touch me in ways that make me shiver, but he doesn't, he just stares into my healing face, almost showing me concern. "I'm sorry about Jamie." He says hitting the one spot inside, knowing full well it will crush me. A knot forms in my throat, followed by a tear I don't respond and turn away from him, but no matter where I look I see us in the refection, him sitting their dark and dangerous and me a fucking state looking like I've been dragged through a field. "No you're not." I sob blinking away the water.
