Stuck In Reverse (#wattys2018)

(36) In hell.

LEAH.

I looked around frantically as the before-peaceful forest turned into something else entirely.

The tall unending trees bent over to become overused and weak bridges, the white and bright morning turning to a very specific definition of the corridors of hell.

I gasped in fear as I felt the most dreaded feeling of peace suddenly wash out of me in the snap of a finger only to be replaced with fear And dread.

My heart pounded harshly in my chest as I watched my once blinding white dress turn dirty brown and rag-like while my sandals disappeared leaving my feet bare on the hot-desert-like and spiky floor.

My breath hitched in my throat as I finally realised.

Am I finally in hell?

I bit my lips, looking around like a lost, hopeless and helpless person as tears fell down my cheeks uncontrollably.

Even if I can't go back to Killian, why do I have to be in hell? What did I do??

Why am I here? Is there no way out?

I shrieked in horror and utmost fear, jumping and clutching at my gown as a loud and evil laughter shook to the roots of the hell I was stuck in.

"A way out?? You're kidding me right now aren't you?"

I froze in horror as the very familiar voice rang out in my brain.

What the hell?? Why is he here too?!  Can't he just stay on earth and leave me the fuck alone in hell?!

A chortle sounded and I turned to see an older version of Drake walk towards me, a stupid smirk on his face.

Leonard.

On a normal circumstance, I would feel the urge to punch the smirk from his face but here, I only feared that smirk like it could kill me.

What the fuck is wrong with these places and forceful feelings?!

Most of all, why the hell was  I here with... Him?!

I would prefer being stuck here with my father, who I'd always wronged in my past lives by stealing his money and running away.

A tsk made it's way to another Leonard's lips as he walked towards him, making me shiver with the energy of hatred he brought with him.

I sighed.

God! Don't tell me they are going to be giving me the "we're the same person bullshit too!"

"You are stuck with us here Darling, we couldn't get you on earth, you're ours now.." He uttered, looking me up and down.

I rolled my eyes despite the dread and fear I had.

No wonder I never liked m×f×m(male, female and male) stories... People like Drake made it seem like a nightmare.

Another laughter resounded the hell-like place but this time, I was prepared so my heart only jumped ten miles a second, a loud gasp leaving my throat as I clutched my gown harder.

"Actually it won't be like a 'm×f×m' story because we-"

"We're all the same blah blah blah... I get it." I cut in irritated already while the gentlemen watched me with amusement dancing in their eyes.

"You're stuck here Leah, don't try running away." One of the Leonard's muttered when they noticed me slowly shifting to the side and I sighed, throwing my hands up in frustration.
