Immerse In Pain

Chapter 22- Scared But Strong

Everyone fears the darkness as much as Eve does. Ever since she had been in this world, everything is happening in the darkness. Never saw the light of sun. Never saw the light of hope. But only the darkness, that quietly fades her happiness.

Sun is hidden inside the clouds. A storm by storm and rain by rain. No life. No hope. The Black Forest had only this weather routine.

Feeling a cold hand over her cheeks, Eve opens her eyes wide. She was still in the same room. As the memories from earlier appeared, she jumped from the bed and saw Hampton near her.

Hampton startled at her actions. The pain was gone. She felt as if no bruises or pain on her. It feels like she had been sleeping for a while.

Eve touched her face and caressed on. Feeling the smooth soft skin of hers, she went infront of a large mirror. There was no bruises nor swelling eyes, but the normal Eve.

It looks like as if nothing had happened to her. It feels so insane. She was brutally beaten, but now she saw herself as a normal beautiful girl.

"W-What happened?" She asked to Hampton with the same wide eyes.

"You had been unconscious for three days. I also didn't understand a mortal healing so fast, as leaving no scars. I thought you pretty face will be in a total mess.

But look at you now. All new. I found it today. I have doubts on you, that you being a mortal. No mortal had that healing power." Hampton had the same effect that Eve had now.

"I-I don't know what is happening to me. It's so strange. You are so strange. I-I don't know. I am going crazy right now." Eve clasp her arm tightly over her ears and kneeled, feeling depressed.

Hampton stood by there, where he was before. He didn't helped Eve. He stayed there hold his hand in the back. Having Nothing to say, he started thinking.

"Let me go. Let me return to my chores." Eve got up from there. She was in so much pain, but she denied the fact and tried to be strong.

"What? After what had happened to you, you want me to get you lose to that hell hole? Are kidding me. You almost got raped there. How you be so stupid right now? I-"

"Why do you care about me getting hurt? Huh?" Eve glared at him with a meaningless smile.

"I didn't cared to you. I was making sure that you would be no harm before the ritual. Or"

"Or what? Is there anything else that you want me to be alive for? You wanted me right? You wanted to torture me after what ever ritual they are going to held." Eve spoke pacing toward him.

The fear that she had before is gone. She want to show her strength. Everything comes and go, so as her pain and agony. She is easy to get adapt into anywhere or anything.

Eve wanted answers. The answers to get her to the final destination. Only being brave and strong can lead her there. And she is taking that path.

"Why are you mute? Do you need me that much or." She neared him and whispered on his ears. "Do you like me?"

He was taken aback. The frown on his brows increases wrinkles on his forehead. He is much like 40 and above. Like her Boss.

Without a word he left her. She felt as if the whole world turned around. Not eating for so long she felt weak. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she waited for him to appear.

After few minutes a lady in maid dress came into the room. She hold a food tray on her hand. Without thinking twice she devoured the whole plate.

The room she was in, is very elegant. The black and red coloured rug on the floor brings a unique feature into the room. The red window rugs and dark furniture bring a darkness feeling.
