In The Dark

□EIGHT□

It's noon when I woke up with a heavy heart. What had Ross done? By his actions, he is not going to agree with my plan. Not that I care, I could escape alone.

The sunlight shone in like a flashlight beam through a window. I was in the dark again. I felt the melancholia striking me again, this time adding another pain. Ross.

Why did I let him in?

There's nothing left to do, but wait. The blondie was gone. And so is a piece of my heart. My heart sways, thumping against my chest, one swing harder than the next. No doubt, I was going to die soon.

No.

With Ross gone, this would be my perfect escape. When I woke up in this dark and small area, I didn't bother to move; I couldn't. And I couldn't recall why either.

My eyes trailed of a wall, and into the corner. And it stays there, glued. It's like the corner whispers, welcomes me into its appalling secrets. I felt my chest rise and fall with short, tremendously fearful breaths.

I slammed my palms against the stone floor. I would escape; I will. Folding my legs, I balanced on my knees. I would crawl to my exit, i would egress this dreadful room.

I took my first, unstable crawl, my right knee took its first step. I sighed; this was more difficult than I'd imagined. I kept moving.

My knees moved tediously. One step more agonizing than the other. My breaths come shallow, slow, but not leisurely. I was half way across the building.

If I encouraged myself, would that help? You can do it Laura. I tuffen up, my palms white against the solid ground.

This time, I moved my hand, my palms skirting the unkempt floor. My bones were visibly made out as I pressed my body weight to my arms. My arms are unwieldy due to my weight.

I kept crawling.

When I glanced up, sweat framing my face, I was here. I squinted into the darkness. I see a tunnel, a passage that would lead me out of here. My breathing hitched, as I pulled my left knee, lining it with my right.

For twelve years, I had not seen this hole, leading to an underpass. Not even tried. And now I was here, staring into my escape. Somehow, I could not move any limbs of mine.

"Trying to escape?" A villainous voice boomed through the pit. I gasped, my knees and arms losing confidence, amd I stumbled back to the ground. That voice is not Ross.

I thought it was villainous as he questioned me, but his tone is deadly, flat, sounding strict. "We're only trying to portect you, Laura." Portect me. More like the opposite. Although my mind opposed his statement, my heart still wonders.

What did they need to portect me from, that would cause me to live in this abominable room, leave me in the dark? They thought they were protecting me. But I was dying, not because of harm by other people, but harming myself, tortured by my thoughts and wonders.

If they thought they were protecting me, they are wrong. "Let me out," I choked hoarslely. "I will not," Another voice said steadily, his voice daring. Like daring me to move. I raised my shaking hands.

"Let me out, Ross." It is Ross, I'd recognize his voice. I could hear the hardness in his voice, matching his secretive eyes. Those hazel pools full of atrocious intends. I will break through him; I will.

He does not seem suprised when I called his name.

"Goodbye, Laura." He appears out of the shadows of the tunnel, he clutched Somethin tightly in between his fingers. My eyes caught the naughty hand immediately.

"When you drink this bottle, you will remember nothing that you had saw, heard, and experienced in the last hour." He said it casually, as if he wss committing no crime to a innocent girl.

"No!"I screeched, my lungs burned. "incredibly sorry," he hoped to let me down with attrition. I refuse. "No!' I screeched again. But he continues, and the sound of his footsteps repeated in my ear like bells ringing.

"No," I choked this time. He will fail to hold me back. I will escape, and in the end, I will be looking at him with trumphy in my eyes.

The man with a strict voice was the last sound echoing in my mind as I fell into blackness again.
