The Red Bride

Chapter 11: Captive

Sometimes we tend to believe more in the things that will never happen rather than the things that are presently happening. We can never run away with the things that haunt us. They are like wild animals preying on us everytime we move. I know because I am presently experiencing a situation where I can't even identify which is real and what is not. Reality sometimes suck and dreams they make us, depends upon you on how you want to be changed because no matter what you do, you will still wake up and face the fucking reality.

Karl woke up with the sound of birds in the morning. She can barely remember how many days it has been since her English teacher abducted her.

"You are awake now. Come on, let us have our breakfast. Rise and shine.",the voice of Rafael makes her head ache even more. She wants to go home she wants to be with Marco, her friends and family.

"You skunk! They will look for me and you will pay for this!",she hasn't eaten anything for almost 3 days now and all she could think of is to rip Rafael's head and head back home.

"Come on Karl, isn't this what we wanted before?",Rafael walks slowly to her bed and sat on the edge.

The house is a bungalow type. They are staying in a very secluded area near Yorkshire. And Rafael believes that no one will find them there. It was a little house in the lake and it is the only safe place he could think of for Karl and himself.

"Karl, look at me. Nothing bad will happen to you. All i want is to be with you. To take care of you.",he has been expalining to Karl since the day they got there but she won't believe him.

"I will trust you but give me the chance to talk to Marco, give me back my phone and I'll call him."

"No! I can't do that. Can you not understand? I love you and I don't want to let go of you.",he is trying to contain his emotions but Karl won't listen to his explanations and she keeps on insisting about the idea of calling Marco.

Karl didn't answer back and tried to sleep even though she is starving. She still love Rafael but she is afraid that Rafael will kill her. But all she could think of is Marco, as if they were destined to be together as if Marco is the piece that will complete her missing puzzle.

"Just call my name whenever you need something. I will be outside. ", Rafael left the room and Karl tried to move and get some food from the table. All she can see in the window is the lake.

How the fuck can I escape here? I don't even know how to swim!

Her mind is so blurry that she can't even think straight. She was a bright and intelligent girl and she needs to do something to get away from her present situation. She knows that a little bit more attitude towards Rafael, he might lose his temper again and start to suck her blood.

As she sat sadly in the chair near the window she realized how much her life changed since the day she started to let vampires ruin her life. Her simple and perfect life turned into a horror film that made her a slave of her own discontentment in life. She has become a monster in a way that she can't identify. Many questions circle in her mind.

Who killed my ex boyfriend? Who murdered my parents? What will they do to me? How the fuck did I let myself drag other people into this mess I am now? I have to do something. I have to make my own way of finding things. If Rafael did not kill my ex boyfriend, could it be Marco? If Rafael was with me when my parents died could it be Marco who murdered them?

Tears suddenly came rushing im her eyes, rolling like stones with no definite destinations. Then she started to sob, and then cried. But she can not even hear her silent cries for the banging in her head is louder than anything she could hear right now. She is lost and she is left captive by a monster who can't identify the difference between love and possesiveness. If only she can do something.
