In The Dark

□NINE□

As soon as I woke up, my frail hands were the cynosure of my eyes. I had to plan out the arrangement of me escaping, overpowering the Creators.

The Creators is what I named the people who trapped me in here. The Creators, including Ross. What could possibly be so tough, that the Creators would 'protect' me from?

Am I a substantial of conflict between other people?

In the end, I figured out engrossing in my thoughts wasn't the way to find a solution. Action was. Ross had said there was cameras in this room, in different, sequestered places.

The Creator's scrutiny were like thousands of needles pricking my skin. I hated attention.

There are cracks on the gray walls, like a thunder had striked their surfaces. There are chunks of bricks, piled on the left side of the room. It caught my attention. Why would there be bricks here? This room isn't made of bricks.

I tried not to breathe too noisily that it sounds too emphatic. As I cross the room, I felt blood trickling down my face. What......I glance up, seeing something I'd wished I'd never seen.

A dead body. I screamed, horror written across my face. The body is right above me, legs tangled and tied up on the ceiling. Had I never noticed this before? My scream echoed in the room, repeating my frightened shriek once I saw the body.

I gasped, a hand over my heart. My chest rises and falls with unsteady breaths. Oh, God. I examined the body's face. And I could tell, it used to be virile. His hands, lengthy fingers, curled, almost touching his palms. His legs, also lengthy, drooped across the air. It seems like his chest had been pined up on the ceiling, too. Not just his forehead.

I asked myself this: Is this real?

It's questionable. Maybe it is just my insight. Maybe it had to do with the Creators. As I recall, the body was not here yesterday, before I had been knocked out with a potion.

I stared at the body again. His limp, languished figure. It all seems too familiar......

My eyes caught his blonde hair.

I tried to blink back tears, swallow the lump in my throat. The waves of emotions crashing through my body. I recognize this person.

It's Ross.

But he is one of the Creators....how did he.... that's how I know, that this wasn't the Creator's intention. It was someone else's. But who?

The tears finally rolled down. When did I have so many emotions, and sorrow for a stranger that I don't understand, lied to me several times, played with my feelings?

I could almost feel his hand, running down my long hair, his fingers tangled between each piece. I could almost see his secretive hazel eyes, guarded, mixed with many emotions that I couldn't recognize. I could sense his breath, tickling against my neck, making goosebumps rise. I could hear his voice, dark but cordial.

I remember his promise, that he'd help me escape. What if, his whole heart, wants to agree with me? What if he was on my side the whole time? I couldn't even tell if he's telling a truth, or a lie. I feel useless, my mind swimming with questions, whirling around my head.

What if he, once, had a life, a whole future planned out in front of him? What if he was innocent, and got dragged into this whole mess? But I could only guess.

I'm tired of guessing, tired of being controlled, tired of being watched.

I was going to make a move.

A move that would startle them. A move so powerful, that I could escape this dark room. I can't even imagine the brightest blast of the sun, charging towards my face.

I can't imagine millions of people, with different colors of skins and hair, their footsteps echoing in my ears.

I can't imagine all the animals out there, wild or shy, big or small, living in the depths of the ocean, or a nice, cozy house.

I can't imagine the water, liquid, flowing gently in a river, down to an ocean.

I can't imagine the smile on my face as I welcome the world.

Suddenly, like a thunder sounded, a loud BANG echoed through the room. Suddenly, like an earthquake started, the room started shaking and spinning. Suddenly, like I'd been kicked in the head, my mind started swimming, my blurry eyes could barely see the world before me.

And then, when I looked up again, Ross's body was gone.

A/N-hello guys :)) how's the chap? Mysterious? Scary?
