The Shadow Of The Kiss~Larmau~ Book Two

Thinking...

~Age 18 Aphmau~
Maybe another couple weeks, or months have passed. Once more. He's been coming less, but when he does, he goes on for hours painfully. I feel myself going insane. He's loosened my chains knowing how weak and useless I am now. Which I can use to my advantage, if I can even move. I haven't walked or moved much at all for months at a time. He left a couple hours ago, I think. So I should try something maybe. But what? I can try slipping my arms out of the cuffs.

I try pulling my hands out. I can get at least half of my hand out but not the rest. Hm, what if I forced my hand out and break it then put on my clothes and escape. Oh that would be so painful. But I'm a Shadow Knight so I heal fast. I dealt with birth, dying, burning, freezing, and Laurence so I think this won't be so bad... Right?

So I just don't need to think about breaking my hands. Just think that this was that guys hand. I can't scream either. I took a pillow and bit into it. Okay it's time. 3... 2... 1...

I pulled so hard. Screaming into the pillow. I hear my hand crack over and over. Immense pain fills all through me. I just need to get this over with. More and more cracking happened as I finally got my right hand out. My bones start cracking back together. Wow... my whole hand is bruised and bleeding, but it's healing the broken bones. Once my right hand was mostly healed, I pulled on my left hand, going through the same pain. As the left hand healed I tried standing up. Which I stepped in a pile of vomit. Ugh. Across the room, I walked on jelly like legs to get to my pile of clothes. I had to sit on the bed to get everything on. Who knew this was so exhausting. It took me forever to get dressed. I haven't been dressed for so long, it's so warm, and nice. I stood up, falling over in the process. Well then. Guess I'll crawl. I crawled over too the door. It was luckily unlocked. I got through the door and see a small hallway with several other rooms on each wall. Then a front door leading out to the dark red and black Nether. I crawl out the door after I unlocked it. But when I open the door I see a cave. Not a large one because I see the lava light not too far ahead.

Okay Aphmau, you can do this. Crawl as fast as a fast... crawling, animal? You can do it!

It took a few minutes, but I got there.

I went out leaving this place. I finally got the will to stand up and walk slowly, always leaning against something. These areas look familiar. I think I can figure out where the portal is.

Walking and more walking I did. I found the Nether Fortress which was almost directly across from the portal. I'm saved! But you know what? The airs gotten really tight all of a sudden. It's kind of painfully soothing. I suddenly smell a delight smell of baked goods. Maybe I should go look for the food... I thought as I let the smell force me to drop from where I was standing, and bang my head on something hard, knocking me out cold.
