Chapter 4: WHO?

Cleo's pov.

I'm running, yes literally I'm running but I dont know why, I just thought that I need to run I badly want get out of here to escape to be free, but seems faith is such a cruel person if he is a person tho. I'm in an endless road no escape, no shortcut nothing at all and its suffocating.

I look back out of the felling that somebody is chasing me, and there just right behind be is a dark figures trying to match my speed and seems that they badly want to catch me. So I doubled my pace and just run, even with my confusion of what's happening here plus this growing fear that slowly blooms within me like a forgot felling that been drown and slowly arise. What happening here? Why does those dark figures is trying to catch me? Where am i?

And there, that last question hits me, I am here at my sanctuary, my perfect world, the makeshift fantasy world inside my dreams but why? What happen here? No no no no it can't be no not this please what did really happennnn! What! And there I just felt a few drops of tears rolled down in my cheeks, tears? I just feel my soul slowly breaking.

I slowly look around while still running, I can't possibly stop not when there is unexplainable figures trying to catch you. And in that moment I slowly give in and tears continues to falls down. My sanctuary, my comfort, my world is a wreck, gone. And all of this just matches my state of mind, my struggles, my scars, all of my suffering. I can't even straightly look at it, it's an awful scenery that keep on reminding me that my life is a mistake that even here I can't possibly be happy. And this rode, this shallow suffocating rode symbolizes my future an endless running and nonstop misery. I sob slowly why did this all happening to me? What did I do?

"can somebody save me pleaseeee, anyone one I badly want one " I cried, I can't do this anymore. this.. this life sucks why can't I just have a normal life, family anything normal but not this pleaseee not thiss. I slowed down my pace and just kneeled sobbing but that was a very big mistake forgetting that I'm still in a chase and currently running. There I slowly raise my head from sobbing, I see them grinning and slowly walking towards me I can't possibly escape now there are around me circling me and slowly suffocates me.

"no !!!!!!!" and I'm drown deep In an endless darkness.

I open my eyes and eagerly gets air as much as I can, that moment I just freak out where am I? what happen? Nooo the figures where? When? Why? I roomed my eyes around crazily. What happen to me? Why am I acting like this? It's so dark I can't take the dark! light I need light, where are the light's? Where?

There is a small sound that fuel my freakiness even more "uhmm whos there? Who are youu?? Who??" I crawled under the covers of my bed as the sound slowly getting loud. My mind screams fear my body says it all, I slowly pictured figures inside my head and it's making me insane.

Slowly the sound getting near and near "thug thug thug" I almost jump out of my bed " aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh !!! Help please..help" I cried under the covers.

And there is light, literally there is light cause the door of this room just instantly snap open. After I see light I eagerly run toward it away from the suffocating cold darkness. But before I could get out I bump into a slim figure " hey watch out you freak" said the figure.

Out of instinct I instantly crawled to the side away from the figure and use my hand to be a shield in front of my face out of fear.

"oh my god what happen to you ? You look like a sh*T " said the figure and seems that it is about to touch me but in instant I crawled away, feared to be touch ..feared to be hurt again.

My eyes slowly adjust to the light and there I see Marga eyeing me in disgust and confusion while watching me continues to crawled to the side like an untamed wild animal.

I look at her panickily while still imagining things, what had happened to me? This is awful I keep over thinking everthing since I woke up and I can't really control myself.

Marga easily recovered "aww poor little fella seems you finally lose your sanity, what could possibly happen to you now? A crazy orphan? Hmm not bad hahahaha! " Marga said victoriously while still eyeing me with such deep hatred.

What did I do to her to be treated like this, no what did I do to them to be in this gruesome situation. I can't keep on fighting if there is no hope left and could hold my pieces that slowly breaking, also plus now the crazily situation is that it really seems that I'm losing my sanity I keep on overthinking everything I can't possibly live like this. The feeling of someone watching you behind those shadows, that in any minute It could be able to devour you completely I could really lose my sanity if this will get worse.

Marga then turns her back after giving me one last glance, a combination of disgust and self-fulfillment . The second she hold the door and was about close the it and left me her again in the darkness I instantly stand and run towards her feared that I could be left out again inside this place embracing the cold darkness.

Marga look at me weirdly " uhmm could you pleas---ee do-n t close the do-or, just left it open" I said trembling and I can't even complete a proper word to say, urg and I can't believe I said please infront of that witch urgg just wow.

Marga look change to a satisfaction smile "oh ahahaha is that what you want little cleo? Dont close that door so that you won't be left alone in the dark awww.. Scared aren't we cleo? " she said mimicking a mother talking to her kid that can't possibly survive alone. Urgggg! Pathetic very pathetic cleo nice move now you just gives her the satisfaction she always wanted.

She still look at me while smirking " hmmm let me think for a second nope! " she said in a wide smile then push me back inside the room, I was shock and can't even move and when she was about to close the door completely she said something.

" and oh! If you were wondering why are you still here not in the cold coffin don't get a wrong idea that one of us saves you ok cause no not a chance and not in this lifetime, there is this guy who crazily and suddenly pop out of nowhere ..he's not even at the guest list duh.. That jump into pool and saves your sorry ass, aww such a romantic scene but well he just left after that the moment he was able to pull you out of the pool, he does not even check if you were still alive hahaha he just poof! after being a hero for a moment and just leave hmm not a very romantic scene after all. So that is your story why you are still breathing up until know, and why did I just let you after that? Well I still have a birthday party going to begin with and you're not that important to even more spend my precious time with you, you serves really an interesting entertainment, and because you make us happy I ordered them to bring you here in your garbage room as a reward of being a very good girl " she smiled evilly.

" but I'm still not that too kind to just left you easily so I ordered them to bring your slumbered body ..aww.. Hahaha here in your room through pulling you like a garbage sack from the pool area to this floor and ohh what floor is this by the way?" she asked but I'm to engrossed to the information she just said and can't even answer her question " hmm well I remembered! This is the tallest point of the mansion pulling you from there to here hmmmm satisfactory, well that's just it I better leave ciao " she said leaving her infamous smirk with a delightful eyes then shot the door close.

I feel a hot tears rolled down from my eyes, I did not even know and noticed when did I start crying all I know is that she. Marga did intended to see me lying lifeless, she did wanted me dead. Also who was that person who save me but just left, my mind is truly in chaos state right now. And . I roomed my eyes around me I was again left alone in the darkness together with the shadows lurking within.
