In The Dark

□FOURTEEN□

Sweat ran down my forehead.

It was destiny that kept me moving forward. It was hope, that helped me see my road. It was determination, that kept my body awake. It was strength, giving me my power. It was hatred, that makes me even more determined. And it was affection, that kept my heart beating steadily.

I was going to find the asset to me.

And I am going to accomplish my mission.

My mother once told me, a quote that will stay deep in my brain, that determination comes with consequences. Was this situation similar to what she was referring to? But determination also comes with pride and triumph.

Which quote should I go with?

I stuck with destiny.

After the swirling of shimmering sparkles, I opened my eyes to the bright yellow room. It took so met time for my eyes to adjust to the light.

I'm in the Creator's lab again.

I heard voices, like the whistle of leaves brushing against one another, a whisper of the wind. Someone with a silvery tone.

To my right, buttons and controls sat on the table, walls surrounding it. To my left, a big window was placed, where the Creators watched every detail of my movements. In front of me - a door so intriguing, so captivating - awaits for me. Behind me, is another door. But the colour is black, dark, unwilling to let me discover its secret. And the silvery tone is hidden behind that door.

I panicked inside. What do I do?

I must not go into where the Creators would know I escaped, so I chose the bright door that is awaiting for me. My fingers reached for the doorknob. It's cold, and quite pleasant to touch. I twisted it.

To my relief, not a shadow was in sight. But a long hallway welcomed me. The floor is black, completely black, the ceiling is decorated with shapes of triangles, rectangles, and squares. I furrowed my eyebrows, and stared infront of me.

Dead end.

To my sides, several door lined up, parrarell to the other one. I falter in my steps, sometimes I even totter a little while I walked. The first door on the left seemed to be more radiant rather than the left. I admired the doorknob-plain white- and I twisted it hesitantly.

The sickening dark welcomed me. I gasped a little, and almost slammed the door close. I breathed hard, clutching my chest. I am not ready to give up. Just then, something shuffled inside the room. A sound of a blanket being tossed.

"Someone there?" A scratchy voice wonders.

My eyes grew big, and I hurried to the first room to the left. Pushing the door open so I could hide in, I squeezed my minikin and diminutive body through the tiny gap. I imagined my eyes was the only thing that shone in the dark.

My heart stopped beating as the door opened. And to my horror, I heard footsteps, and suddenly, the room is full of light. That person's eyes grew big, almost as big as mine. I used my eyes to plead her to be silent, and she obeyed by nodding slightly.

I pressed my ear on the wooden door. It is white, too. "I swear someone opened my door," Scratchy Voice murmured. A lump formed in my throat. Please don't open the door please don't open the door.

It seemed like the person standing next to me made it clear that no one is allowed to step in their room, because the footsteps went directly towards the door which from where I came in from.

I catched my breath.

Twisting my torso, I finally got a good look at the nice person who helped me. It's a girl. She's young, and her hair frames her adorable face. She has bright blue eyes and smooth skin. She would be a girl guys would hit on.

"I'm Anna," she breathes, staring straight into my eyes. I nodded, confused by her words. Wasn't she one of the Creators? Wasn't she supposed to throw be back to the dark? All she does is stare at me with her bright blue eyes.

"I'm Laura," I decided to say.

She let out an amused scoff. "Of course I know who you are, come sit."

Her room, I'm guessing, is quite girly. Her pink bed is in the middle, and cute decorations hung all around her private place. Her ceiling is a painting of the sky. Maybe she likes to daydream.

I took a seat at where she patted her pliable bed.

"Do you know very much?" The way her eyes glistened, told me that it is about what I know about what I am, what I would do, and what others would do to me. "Not really," I admitted. I was really suprised to hear my voice, considering I haven't spoke in a few days.

She folded her hands, and placed them on her lap. She looked at me closely, as if examining me. The way she's acting, like she doesn't believe everything I say or do. She took a deep breath.

"Well then, did you know that they're planning your death, soon?"

A/N-sorry for the long wait! Sorry sorry sorry.
