Forgotten Memories

Chapter 11

Hearing a noise coming from behind the door entrance I hesitantly got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom. I walked down the hallway but didn't see anyone. As I slowly made my way down the stair, I couldn't help but shiver from the cold. I could literally see my breath. I switched the light on but to my surprise it didn't work. I tried again but they still didn't come on. Must be a power outage.

I turned around and was about to head back to Angelo's room but stopped when I heard movement behind me. I quickly turned around.

"Who's there?" You could hear the shakiness in my voice. I jumped when the door in front of me suddenly opened. I cautiously walked through it. "Zoe?" I ask but got no answer.

"Luke this isn't funny." No answer. "Guys?" I walked deeper into the room and Lightning flashed through the windows causing me to jump. Lightning flashed again and that's when I notice the 3 bodies on the floor. A gasp escape my lips. "Amy.. Jason... Mom?" I whispered before running towards them.

I got on my knees and tried to wake them up. I felt a wet substance on my hands and slowly moved my hands up to see what it is. Blood. Tears rolled down my cheek as I still tried to shake them awake.

"You h-have to wake up. You have t-too. You can't d-die!" I screamed as I was suddenly pulled away from them and thrown across the room. My head hits the wall making my vision go blurry.

The figure walked towards me and crouched down in front of me. I tried  to make out the figure's face but couldn't with my blurry vision. A hand closed around my throat and pulled me up so that I am no longer touching the ground. My hands immediately tried to pull them off but the hand only tightens. I gasped when I finally was able to make out the familiar face.

"A-Angelo" I choke out. Angelo smirked at me and tightened his hold on my neck. My eyes started to feel heavy as I fought to keep them open. Angelo still had the smirk on his face as I stopped fighting and went limp in his hold from lack of air.

I jerked up gasping and clawing at my neck trying to remove the hand from around it. I stopped when I realized there's nothing choking me. I looked around to see that I'm back in Angelo's room. My breaths comes out as pants and I pushed the strands of hair out of my face and fall back onto the bed.

"It was just a dream." I say to myself trying to even out my breaths. "Just a bad dream." I rolled over and looked at the time. 8:30am. I looked around the room but don't see anyone making me sigh in relief. I sat back up and ran my hand down my face.

"Now the real nightmare begins."

Sitting on the balcony, I watched the beautiful different shades of flower and listened to the birds sing their soft harmony. As the wind blew through my hair I inhaled the scent of the flowers and fresh air.

I haven't left Angelo's room since the wedding. I simply sit on the balcony or next to the window and watch the flowers, birds, trees, and sometimes the rain.

There was only green trees and grass. I could never runaway. They would catch me if I tried. I guess I'm going to have to find another way to get out of this place.

Everyday a maid come and bring me my breakfast, lunch, and dinner which I'm thankful for. I guess somebody noticed I wasn't leaving the room and told the maids to bring me food.
