Fallen into the Dark (on hold)

Chapter 6 - Lost

Waking up after sleeping on the floor all night it's not something pleasant. I open my eyes and pushed myself off the floor and crawled to the bed. I lay there for a few minutes replaying everything that has happen to me since my birthday 'till now. It's been about half a month already, my parents must be worrying sick for me and I'm here not knowing what is gonna happen next.

After relaxing a bit I got up and started searching the room, trying to find something useful, something that could actually help me escape. Maybe there is still hope for me to survive, maybe there is still a way for me to be free again, just maybe...

I open the dresser which was completely empty apart from a mirror which was hanging from the closet's door, I took a side look of myself, but I knew that I didn't have time for this. Now my priority is to find a way to escape and save myself cause no one is going to save me. I'm the savior of myself.

Closing the dresser I walked to the bed, I picked up the mattress, which was way too light than what it looked like if you consider that the bed was double size, and threw it onto the floor. I was hoping to find something under it, but no such luck.

The side table didn't have anything on it either, so I guess that luck was not on my side.

Realizing that there was nothing left for me to do, I walked up to the dresser and pulled the doors open once again and looked at the mirror. The girl looking back at me was like a zombie, her lifeless eyes were staring back at me, they didn't have their usual shine, and her hair were dirty and all over the place. She looked like she had just gotten out of a war.

Was that really me staring back at me? When did I become like this? When did I become a lifeless body which just walks around with no reason anymore?

I felt anger. This is not me! I need to get up and fight, I need to find myself. I punched the mirror with all my might, what I expected was for the mirror to break, not for my hand to go through the mirror and through the dressers door.

My eyes winded and I pulled my hand out to see it bleed, but the weird part was that I didn't hurt as much as I thought it would hurt. Something was happening to me, I was changing.

"What have you done to your room?" the familiar voice of the demon who has been keeping me here against my will came from the door of the room.

"I redecorate it, don't you like it better this way?" I asked .

Where had all the cockiness come from was over me, it was like I was changing completely "why?" he asked.

The whole time I was sitting on the side table looking around, so when I heard him ask why I got up and walked to where he was standing "I need shower and new clothes, this is the least you can do for me after all the shit you have put me through" I hissed.

At first he looked like he was taken back but for a split second another emotion had flashed into his eyes "I see, I didn't think that the ritual would kick off so fast" he said as he took steps around me looking around him into the room "Oh well looks like we will need to find you a new room Kate-"

"Charlot! It's Charlot, Kate might have been me in my previous life but now it's Charlot, either get it right or keep your mouth-hole shut" I demanded.

This had ticked a nerve. He was standing a few feet in front of me and then the next second he had me pinned by the neck onto the wall "I gave you the power, but you can't overpower me Kate honey, so if I were you I would of thought twice before opening that beautiful mouth of yours".

He pushed me on the wall with fury making me hit the back of my head before letting me fall onto the floor as I tried to catch my breath since he had practically chocked me.
