As Mysteries Begin To Unravel (Paused)

Chapter 1

"W-where is my mommy?"

"Oh, your 'mommy'? She's just taking a nap."

He chuckles darkly, turning the knife over and over in his hands, the crimson red beginning to drip down the knife. "You too will be taking a nap soon."

I wake up and look around, panic in my eyes as my heart thumps as loud as a drum.

Nothing. It was just a dream. The same dream. Again and again and again.

I look out the window. There was no sunlight. I get up and head to the windowsill, peering out to the forest. I could see the faintest glints of sunlight peeking out from behind the trees. It must be sunrise.

I sighed and changed clothes, putting on a dark purple dress, reminding me of violets.

"I better make breakfast." I mumble to myself, yawning as I head down the stairs.

I get out a carton of eggs and a bowl. I crack the eggs as I hum to myself. I mix it until the yolk has turned into a bright yellow. I pour the mixture into the pan I had taken out. I place the pan onto the oven and turn it on. That should do for now.

I hear footsteps and smile as a pair of arms wrap around my waist. "Good morning Jules." Tony kisses my head and let's go of my waist, his warm touch gone, leaving cold air in its place.

"Breakfast smells delicious. Let me help you set the table." He sets the table as I take the pan off of the oven, deciding to let it cool a bit.

"How was sleep?"

"Terrible," I replied, rubbing my eyes.

"Why? Did you have another nightmare?" His eyes went dark as he said that, as if he didn't like me having nightmares. How sweet!

"Yeah, it gets scarier and scarier." I shake my head. "I can't believe a nice dream has turned into episodes of nightmares."

I took the pan of eggs off of the counter as Tony sat at the table. I scraped some of the scrambled eggs onto his plate and did the same for mine.

"So, Tony, I've had a question I've been wanting to ask you.." I scratched the back of my neck, a habit of mine whenever I was nervous.

He looked up at me and arched his eyebrow before continuing to eat, meaning that I could speak.

"Well Tony, I've been having these dreams for quite a while, and it's just, why do you think-"

"Julia no! I've already told you not to ask this question. And you disobey me again! You know this leads to punishment." He glared at me and I nodded my head.

He took his last bite of eggs and kissed me.

I smiled a little, hoping that I wouldn't get a big punishment.

I read Call of The Wild for the twenty-third time as I sat in my favorite comfy chair. I slowly closed the book as Tony came into the room. Crap.
"Oh hey love-" my voice was cut off as I felt his warm hand smack across my cheek.

I could feel my face turning red but the worst part was the pain. The pain was terrible. I put my hand up against my cheek and forced the tears back. I couldn't cry. I knew if I did, there would be bigger slaps than the one he gave me now.

"I've given you your punishment." He smiled down at me before kissing my red cheek.

"I love you."

I nodded. "Say you love me too Julia." He says, not moving away from me. "I love you too."

I stripped off all my clothing. After four hours of cleaning, I decided to treat myself to a bubble bath. I haven't had a bubble bath in such a long time, I couldn't even remember.

I opened the faucet and plugged the bathtub. I let the water run as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.

My black hair matched my eyes. I didn't really think I was pretty, but Tony always told me I was gorgeous.

I sighed and turned around and saw that the bathtub was half full.

I grabbed the bubble bath shampoo and squirted it into the tub. It mixed almost immediately and soon the bath tub was filled with bubbles.

I turned the faucet off and climbed in, embracing the warm water. I sighed in pleasure, the bath was so amazing.

I sink my entire body into the water, letting the bubbles take over. I couldn't resist and grabbed a heap of bubbles and placed them onto my face, acting like I had a beard.

I giggled as the bubbles slowly fell off of my face and back into the water. I tried to think about my past, but as usual, I couldn't remember anything. Whenever I thought about my past, I couldn't remember anything and it's really frustrating.

I close my eyes, sleep slowly creeping into my body. Before I knew it, everything went black.

"Honey? Are you alright? Jules?" I hear pounding at the door as my eyelids flutter open.

"Tony?" I groan, trying to get out of the bath tub. I slip, and fall back in, letting out another groan. "Are you okay?" There was worry in his voice.

"No. I need help."

I hear a click as Tony uses the key above the doorframe to open the bathroom door.

His eyes widen. "What's wrong?" I look down at my hands and almost scream. My hands were so pruned that I could be mistaken for a dead old lady!

I guess my face must've paled because he quickly headed over and pulled me up. I blushed, knowing I was fully exposed to him. It wasn't the first time he had seen me naked, but I still got nervous.

I took a quick glance up at him. There was lust in his eyes as he looked down at my body. He licked his lips and I shivered.

I grabbed a towel from behind him, the blush on my face deepening. "C'mon Tony l-lets go," I stuttered, hoping he didn't notice.

"Yeah, sure." He said. He shook his head. He seemed to have gotten out of a trance-like state. Was Tony okay?

"Good night Tony." I kiss him on the nose and he smiles.

"Don't forget your medicine." I grab a glass of water and put a small pill into it. I gulped the water down, swallowing the pill with it.

"Don't forget Julie, you have to take these pills to help you sleep better." He hands me a pill as I look at it nervously. "Okay."

"Good night Julie." Tony says, turning to face me. Right before my eyes shut, I see a strange glint in his eyes. He looked... Hungry?

Btw, for some reason my italics won't work so whenever she is having a memory or flash back, I will make it bold. (Update: my italics were working I was just an idiot. :P)
