Light In the Darkness

Chapter 3

HI GUYS sorry I haven't updated I'm über busy this whole damn week anyways CONTINUING THE STORY :D

CHAPTER 3: ANOTHER SIDE

I woke up gasping for air and ready to scream for bloody-murder. I hate these accursed dreams. I had noticed the pain in my body began to subside so I decided to get up, ignoring the slight ache that began to rise along my left side. I began to examine the room. And a thought clouded my mind. Should I spare Scarlett? She has given me shelter and yet she ran me over. I pondered. She'll live as long as she doesn't get in way. I made my way to the door. Opening the door to see the hallway was consumed by darkness. I've adjusted pretty well to the darkness since my jail cell was pretty much dark. Walking down the hallway I stood in front of stairs leading downstairs. I slowly crept downstairs and heard what sounded like a TV. Peering from the doorframe, I looked to see Scarlett sitting on the couch. Her face looked tear stained and her eyes a bit red. Wonder why? I took one step and the floorboard creaked. Immediately, Scarlett snapped her neck towards my direction. She quickly wiped her eyes with her hand and gave me a warm smile.

"How are you feeling?" she said.

"Feeling fine, you okay?" She looked at me wide-eyed.

"I-I'm fine." I raised an eyebrow at her and leaned against the doorway and sighed.

"You're a terrible liar but its alright if you don't wanna talk about." I don't know why but I really want to know what's upsetting her. She frowned and averted her eyes to the floor and pink flooding her cheeks.

"Sorry, I'm just having things going on and I'm just stressing out." I looked at her showing her to continue. She let out a shaky breath. I walked towards her and sat next to her. "I'm listening." She nodded.

"Have you ever met someone you think you can trust with everything...and you feel that they care about you and yet they don't. It hurt so much to know that someone who you thought cared about you and told you that they loves you.....don't really care. And seeing them with someone else kills you slowly inside making you feel so worthless..and yet you still love them and you can't help remember the good times you've had...just hoping those memories would come back again." Tears were now sliding down her cheek, she hugged her legs close to her chest, burying her face in her knees and cried softly. I honestly don't know what she's talking about but I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. WAIT WHAT THE HELL AM I SAYING!? I MURDER PEOPLE FOR CHRIST SAKE! But I have a different feeling towards her though. Not the killing or insane vibe. I can't explain it. Doing the most illogical thing and something I never did to anyone and think about doing, I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her in close to my chest. My mind was spiraling at the moment. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?! THIS ISN'T ME?! For I'm not the same person who was trapped and locked away from the outside world. I've never given a hug to anyone nor have I received a hug from anyone. I felt her go stiff at my touch but surprisingly she relaxed quickly. And what shocked me the most was that she wrapped her arms around me, hugging back. I felt fluttering in my stomach and heat crept on my cheeks. Is this how a hug...feels like? Why is my heart racing? I could still hear her cry a bit. But all I could do was hug her, hoping she would calm down. But this hug...this is all so new to me but all I could say about this hug is that.........

I like it.
