Miserable at Best

Chapter 45: Reunion

Quick Note:
I know I have a lot to explain, but I believe we have no time for now. So let's go straight to the story. 😭😵😵😵

He smiled softly, the warmth enlightening his face despite of the shadow that casts over it. I stayed silent on the ground because of the sudden shock that hit me. It makes my brain stop compreheding the world and my body feels numb and dead. He crouched down beside me sighing and letting out small fog from his lips in the process. His hand never left my shoulder as he shifted himself closer to my form.

"It's been a while... And I... I never thought to see you here." He sighed, then shot a smile as he looked up at me.

I still just stare at him in shock. The expression of my face softens a bit but the tension in me is still up my sleeves. I knew to myself that seeing him means another trouble again. And only one thing is swirling in my head since the time that he showed up. To get away and run.

Slowly and surely, I inched myself away from him, making his hand dropped from my shoulder. His expression changed as he notice the fear that shows boldly on my face. He opened his mouth to speak but before he could slip a word, I already stood up and started running away from him.

"Amanda!" Dylan called as I hurried away from him.

My eyes started to tear up once again, blurring my sight as I try my hardest to keep the way visible. But this did not stop me from running. I run as hard as my legs could do until he managed to catch up with me. Suddenly, his arms grabbed me by the waist and pulled me to him. I tried to get away from his grip so he lost his balance and fell down on the ground, taking me with him in the process.

"Let me go!!! No! Let me go!!!" I cry as I rip his arms away from my waist.

I heard him grunt when my nails dug deep in his skin. But still he did not let me go and instead, he turned the both of us around until I land on the ground. He then pushed me down on the pavement and hovers above me as he pins down my hand on the side of my head. I keep on crying and pleading for him to let me go. But Dylan seems not to hear my cries as he managed to sit on me and straddle my hips with his weight.

"No way Amanda. I'll never let you go this time."

I last heard him say before I felt a sting on my neck and the view of his face blurred out. My head then start to get heavy as it falls down on the side, with my eyes slowly dropping until the whole surrounding is covered in darkness.

~•*•~

I slowly opened my eyes as my consciousness went back in me. I grunted as a very sharp and stinging pain quickly strike in my head like a lightning. I let my eyes adjust to the light that is coming out from the slit of the curtain. That is when I realize I am looking at a window and again, once again for heaven's sake, is waking up in an unknown room.

I look around for a moment trying to get some idea where the hell I am this time. But I failed getting any so I just decided to get up for the least. Carefully I raised my body up from the bed and sit silently on my place. My head pulses painfully when the sudden change of my position took place. I raise up my hand to rub my temples only to feel pain on my wrists. That is when I found out the chains that cling on them and are attached to the poles of the bed. My eyes widen in shock and panic quickly washed down my being. I tried a couple of times to pull it off but nothing happened since my strength is still down and empty. I look around for something that I can use but everything that I see is out of reach. I tried my hardest to pull my hands out but it only made the wounds on my wrists bleed.
