Regret

Chapter Ten

(Lilly's Dream State)

I don't know how much more I could take of this, after I had blacked out in the wood's, Christian took me to a cellar, I was covered from head to toe in bruise's. Christian's beatings were getting worse everyday, sighing I look down at my right ankle, he had put a metal shackle on me so I couldn't run away. I still couldn't figure out why he hated his mother so much, I mean this was the whole reason I was here, because I looked like his mother, which he hated. I was still thinking when I heard the cellar door open, I closed my eye's. Preparing myself for the beating to come, I could hear the footsteps coming down the step's. My eye's tightened even more when the footsteps got closer.

"Lilly" came a familiar voice, I looked up to see Michael.

"M-michael" I ask, why was he here.

"Imma get you out of here I promise" he said unhooking the shackle. "This is all my fault" he said to himself.

"How are you here" I asked.

"I died that night" he said with a somber tone.

"No" I said as tears welled in my eye's. "Please tell me you're lying".

"I'm so sorry this happened to you" he said helping me up as I winced in pain. "I'll make sure you get out of here" he said picking me up bridal style.

"Put me down" I said clinging to him out of fear of falling.

"You're in to much pain to be walking, this way I can get you out faster" he said. "Do you trust me"

"Of course I do" I said, and with that he walked up the stairs, carrying me as if I was weightless, he opened the door and I was blinded by a bright light. Once I was capable to see, I saw someone standing there that I thought I'd never see here, my breath caught in my throat.
