"Noises, screaming, blood everywhere. make it stop, make it disappear"
That was all what I was thinking about the last few months. I don't know where am I, what time is it, why am I here, nothing. All that I see is corpses, children corpses, blood. Everything smells disgusting . All that I hear is screaming, crying. All that I feel is sadness, madness, anger, fear. This is hell indeed.
Suddenly the door get opened again. I think I know what's coming next.
It's been like that always, the men approached us, like always, but this time, he looked at me, they're wearing black, all black, creepy masks, even the clowns are less creepier than them, suddenly he spoke
"It's your time to shine my little star, you could be the honored one, you can be the one, you should be happy, it's an honor. So, let's go now, they're not that patient you know."
That's all what they say to every child, it's always the same sentence, and they tack one of us, and he never comeback, it's always like that.
No one can argue with them or even trying to escape. Not like no one ever tried, but almost all of them are with the angels in the sky.
Everyday, I screamed and begged, and cried my heart out, but no one seems to care, they looked amused.
Before he can grab me by my arm, I stand up and follow them like a lost puppy. As soon as I passed the door of the room that we were all in, I felt so much emotions, I feel scared, I don't know what they gonna do for me, but I feel relieved because they'll kill me at the most, that's mean that this nightmare will end today, and I'll join my parent in the heaven, but I feel bad for those who still there, I think they'll feel the same if they were in my place.
As I'm walking along with those demons, yes, I only see them as demons, even worse than demons, there Satan himself. No human can do that to anyone. I still remember this day really well, that night was the worst night ever. It was wen I lost everything, every single thing I had in this world, happiness, parents, family, future, life, and freedom; every thing vanished in the air, like it was only a dream, it doesn't matter for me if I lived or not anymore.
While I was walking through the nasty, dark, long hallway, the screams of children for help was so much, they were so many rooms field with them, from the right and the left, every where you turn your head you see a room, some of them had blood underneath the doors, some not, the smell of rotten meat is the only thing that you can smell here. This smell, this noise, everything make me remember this night.
The scene of my dying parents, my burning house, everything was blurry that day, smoke, heat, I kept looking and screaming at anybody around me, I couldn't find anyone, it was like I was alone in the maison, I felt my eyes get watery, and my heart get broken, I was about to break down, if not for the sound of my chains that are dragging behind me, I hate this sound, I want to get rid of it, i want to escape, from here, from the reality, can't they just kill me like they did to my parents, that would be easier.
I felt my body get weaker, I didn't eat all day, and the walk was long, or am I just imagining that. suddenly I felt something strange, different, this place that I am walking inside now, it's quite, clean. This is not where I was, I exalted my head to look around, but where am I ? This is not where I was, in fact, that looks like a normal house, big, fancy, and, not scary. I was shocked by the view, am I dreaming, or I was dreaming and now I'm awake?
I looked around me to locate someone or something familiar, and what I saw was the two devils beside me, then, I realized that it wasn't a dream and it will never be.
It was calm, the only sounds there were my chains dragged on the marble floor, our footsteps that echoed in the nearly empty hallway, and the sound of my heart beat, that sound was the highest one inside my ears, I was able to count how many times my heart had been beating, it was so clear inside, my heart felt like it's about to explode, the more we walk the more my heart slowdown, like it's about to stop. I was listening to the sad symphony inside me, when someone grabbed me by the hair, so hard that I felt my scalp is about to pull out, I shout out of pain, then the hand had stopped, and so the pain, I opened my eyes and looked in front of me, there was a huge black wooden door, it was wide and nice looking, someone from behind shout out the words " we're here" and then the door gets open, and I felt my heart has hitched and my soul has left my body.
The scenery that I'm looking at now had never ever been in my imagination, the blood, the corpses, the dirt, everything was from hell. They were all children, innocent and peaceful, happy and adorable, but now they're all dead, a lifeless body that was layering on the cold marble floor, helpless. Every one looked at me, the diabolic humans that were all over the room, with their expensive clothes and creepy masks, they were all looking at me with those eyes, those eyes that held hope and lost in them you can see the devil in their eyes. Satan himself was there in their hearts. Some of them had blood on their hands, some not. I looked at my left to only see more children sitting there, at their small cages like animals, I wanted to runaway, I was ready to start running, but there is no way to escape, all the doors were closed, and people everywhere. I spotted someone approaching me, his eyes were sparkling like they just found their trésor, he stoped in front of me examining my fragile body, my pale figure and my dead eyes, he then put my trembling tiny hands into his huge rough ones, then he told me "You're the one that we've been looking for, today our wish will be realized" he smiled at, the smile that I know that'll end my miserable life, he let go of my palms and turns to the man on my left and says "Put him in a different cage, hi's special after all.".
They took me to an empty cell, I thought the previous one was small, but this one is pretty much a cat cage. They squeezed me there like I'm nothing, like I'm just a garbage now one ever needed. I sat there for god know how much, looking at them doing their work, and hoping that someone will help me, I don't wanna be there, on that stage with those inhuman creatures, it was awful to watch, I don't wanna know how it feels, all that screaming, that pool of blood, that poor little boy was begging for help, but no one was listening, they're all best reading their talismans, you can only hear some gibberish from what they say "..........help..........request..................help................to the devil..........Satan........"I asked my self what are they talking about but there is no answer.
They were reading and reading until the poor boy was dead, then they stopped, it was quite for a little, before one of them signaled to the men at the door, they grabbed the dead body like an old socks, the thrown him on the floor then grabbed a little girl, and handed her to them to continue what they started. They never stopped, for the whole time they never stopped, killing and reading all the time, I was starting getting insane, seeing the same scene over and over again, it made me going insane, then, my biggest fear became real.
I didn't notice that I was the last one in there, they opened my cell and I panicked, I tried to escape but they grabbed me, I start screaming but they only start smiling like it's nothing, they took me to the stage and I struggled I was tiny and weak, they were big and strong, I had no chance in front of them, and I hated that, I want to be strong, the strongest, I need to take revenge, from them, from the one that putted me here, from the one that killed my family, from everyone and everything, I have to, I need to.
They pinned me to the table with their hands, but I never stopped struggling, they started their rituals, stabbed me in the stomach, in the arm, it was painful, I was screaming and screaming, I kicked and punched but nothing had changed, I start feeling dizzy and nauseous, I couldn't focus, and white my last strength I pushed someone back, as far as I could I pushed, I heard someone fall back, then screaming, not of children, but of men, a lot of them, then I felt heat, it burns me, I feel it on my stabbed arm, it hurts, I opened my eyes to see what happens, and then I saw what I didn't expect, fir e, everything is on fire, selling, floor, people, everything is on fire, I saw people running, dying, I looked around, no one paying attention to me, it was my first and my only chance to runaway, and I didn't hesitate to take it. I ran and ran and ran, I was in pain, everything hurts, my blood is everywhere, I feel dizzy weak, but I couldn't stop, not here, not now, it was like the last thread that will save me, I can't let it go.
I saw a door, it was big, and looks like the front door, I ran straight to it, not looking around, everything was on fire, dead burned people all around, I grabbed the handle, twist it, it's open, I smiled, my first smile in a while, I opened the door, steps out, then stopped, I looked around. I did it, I'm free now, i can go find my family, to get revenge for my parents. It was cold outside, it was snowing. Snow, then it's winter, nearly my birthday, it wasn't that long, the time had passed really slow there, it felt like years.
I took a step on the snow. First step, then second, the third was faster, at the fourth, I start running again, running from here, to a save place, somewhere warm, happy and peaceful. I ran like a maniac, inside this big forest, away from this big ball of fire, from my nightmare. Then I fall, into the cold snow, my oozing blood making the perfectly white ground a different shades of red, deep red, lighter red, scarlet, every shade is there, I give up struggling and let my body relax on the cold soil, felling the snowflakes on my little figure, I barely felt my tears on my frozen cheeks, I don't want to die here, I want my revenge, from the one that made my life like this, from who takes my parents from me, the one that forbid me from my happiness, from this world, from everyone, if anything or anyone can make my wish come true, whatever was the pay I'll take it, I'll accept anything, he just need to ask. I felt my eyes get heavier, and my heart slower, is this the life's present for me, to die in the middle of nowhere, in such a young age, i hate it, i hate my life. Is this my happy birthday and my bright future. Well, if that was it, then life is a big play, where everyone is an actor, but the next chapters do not need my story in them, my last verses are those, I don't want this, I wanna be in the next chapter, my story should not end here, but life is not what you expect, but the things that you never think of.
My blood keeps oozing, and my body get weaker, then I thought my last thought. "Happy birthday to me.".
I was about to give up my soul, when I heard wings, then someone walking, walking towards me, I let the darkness surrounding me, I was ready to die, when I heard that voice, the voice that will change my life completely, the voice that come to help me.
   "I, Vernon Orland, I accept you as my aid, I confirm the contract.".
