The Evil Within #wattys2018

Chapter One

I look on as Earth grew smaller right in front of me, an image I never thought I'd have the pleasure of seeing. I would have been blown away, excited, euphoric and even a little bit nervous if I hadn't been bond to a strange looking chair for lack of a better word. It looks like it was made for bondage. It keeps me firmly in place unable to twitch a muscle. Its almost as if they had to take every precaution because I am dangerous.

Overwhelming fear consumed me as tears rushed down my face while breathing heavily through the oxygen mask. I am unable to form a single coherent thought while trying to understand everything and keeping the panic attack rising in my chest at bay. I'm being abducted, everything I know is a lie, everything I ever believed in is a lie and now I'm being taken to a place I don't know, a place I can't possibly escape from alone, an entire new galaxy unknown to Earth.

I look on to my captor with pleading eyes, the beautiful environment of the space ship fades to the back if my mind as I try to gain his pity.

His thin lips curls up into an evil smirk as he stares at me with pitch black eyes that seemed like endless dark pits. His dark skin glows with perfection as he saunters towards me with square shoulders and calculated strides.

"Stop fighting it, its where you belong, chaos is what you are made of. You are a being if chaos" he leans in towards me, his face stops mare inches away from mine as I try to convince myself this is a dream, a nightmare or he must be mistaking me with someone else. "Their is far greater power and pleasure, can't you see, we where meant to be together. You will love me, and I you. And together we will rule" he speaks gently in my face, his breath fans the mask while he looks into my panicked eyes with delight.

"You are even prettier than your mother ever was, and she was a rare diamond. " he straightens up and smiles charmingly. "Don't worry Maya, we'll be home soon" he turns around and walks out of the room.

As he takes his leave, I'm left to wonder, how the fuck did I get here.

3 days ago.....

Every second stretches on for eternity as I wait incessantly for the doors to burst open, to see their brown eyes, her blonde hair and their black hair. To let them hold me in their embrace while get lost in my mums French cologne.

While I wait I think back to the last thing I remember. Walking down to my  boyfriend and I's apartment. I remember his light golden brown hair with medium champaign highlights vividly. How the side of his eyes crinkle when he grins which happens to be every time he sees me. His cologne which had me intoxicated. I wish he was here, I wish he would hold me and wrap his strong arms around my waist protectively as he always did whenever I needed him to.

But sadly I know he might have moved on since they tell me it's been two years, two full years since I'd gone missing that evening, I will have been a full blown gynecologist by now but that doesn't bother me, what bothers me is a full 24 hours after they've found me sitting blankly in a park and they can't come up with any explanation as to why their is a gap in my memory. A total black out.

The doors bursts open as excitement surges me but instead of one blonde and two back heads I see only one blonde. My excitement dies down a little but I'm still excited nonetheless.

"Mum" I scream sitting bolt straight. She rushes to me with teary eyes and engulfs me in her warm tight hug.

"I knew we'd find you, I just knew you where out their and you'd come back, I never stopped searching" Clara sobs intomy hair as she hugs me tightly while tears stream down my face. "I always knew you'd come back" she holds me tight while rubbing my back, comforting us both.

"How.... how are you" I pull back to observe her brown eyes much different from my olive green eyes.

She chuckles with tears in her eyes "Never been better, God I love you so much, how do you feel"

"I'm fine, though I feel a little bit empty and different" I stare into her eyes trying not to ask about them.

"My beautiful baby" she says running her fingers through my burgundy sun-kissed hair "we can go home now"

I nod and stand up. She hands me a yellow maxi and I slip it on. I walk out in her embrace with a few police officers shield us from reporters and paparazzi. We make our way into my mother's audi and drive off to the place I call home.

Hope bubbles in the pits of my stomach as a expect my dad and my brother to be their but when we pull into the driveway and I hastily make my way into our two story house, I meet a different kind of surprise.

The moment my eyes caught sight of his green eyes and golden brown hair, all reason escape me as I rush into his open arms.

"Maya" he whispers into my hair while inhaling deeply "if I'm dreaming I don't want to wake up"

"I don't know"  I whispers back ravishing in his scent "I don't know which would be better"

"God I missed you" his grip on my tightens as the first he's scared I'd disappear. I feel moisture on my face and realize it was from his eyes. I look into his eyes and he offers me a small. I turn around to look at my mom standing in the door way holding tightly unto her purse.

"Mom, where is dad and Axel" I ask which makes the smile on her face vanish gradually.

"Axel is on his way, he got on the first flight and will be here in ten hours, we can go pick him up if you'd like" she walks towards me and cups my chin.

Panic rises in me as I watch her eyes glisten. Ian's grip tightens around me as she caresses my cheek with her thumb.

"What about dad" I say imaging the worst as horror grows in my eyes.

"He, uhhm he'll be here" she says withdrawing her hand and crossing it on her chest.

"Where did he go to in the first place" I pry into her eyes searching for an answer "tell me, I can handle it" I try to keep myself from screaming.

Just as she was about to speak, we hear a knock. Clara rushes off to open the door to a pitch black haired person with brown eyes.

I look at him with dismay as he cautiously steps in. "Maya" he says with his husky voice and rushes towards me. He engulfs me in his warm embrace and I hug him back.

"I.." He starts but I cut him off "Dad what's going on"
