The Opposite Wonderland

7

I found myself laying down behind a huge building. I got up slowly making sure I didn't fall again like what happened in the forest. I started walking while limping my way around the building, I see no one but only the street lights. But when I was approaching the lights, the lights started going out one by one. I decided to keep on walking not caring about the lights going out, until something was creeping up in front of me and behind me. But for some reason I wasn't scared, I just smiled weirdly and walked faster than I did before. 'This is exciting I'm getting chased again this is fun, am I going to encounter death again? Oh my goodness, this feels so good. I want to experience more of this, please I need more excitment. I need more, please someone give me more.' I suddenly stopped, why am I acting like this, is it because of the forest about how gory that place was? Or is it something else?

'Come on Nathaniel, let me out. I'm hungry. I want to feel danger, excitment, and encounters close to death. I want to feel it all.' Someone whispered in a very deep scratchy voice in my head.

What the hell? Who is that?

'Nathaniel let me out. Now.'

I kept on walking ignoring the voice in my head. Until I felt my body slowly becoming weak. My body fell down on the ground. I feel a lot of pain in my body its very excruciating. I can't stand it.

'Will you let me come out now.'

I shook my head, then the pain became even worse. Tears started falling down my face, I got up again no matter how many times I kept on falling I still kept on getting up. I wasn't going to give up so easily. Finally my body became stable, I started to walk again. This time I felt myself getting thrown into the wall.

'LET ME OUT NOW!!'

I shook my head again. Not ready to give in. Then I felt that someone thrusted 10 swords into me. But I softly smiled anyway.

"I think I know what you're doing, you're trying to control me. Or you're trying to make me do what you desire. Which one is it?"

Then the pain became worse. Tears started falling down my cheeks again.
I really don't want to give into this person. I really don't.

'Will you give in now?'

I shook my head again. I was ready to feel the pain increase but I heard someone yelling. Then the voice in my head starting screaming and the pain in my body started to become even more excruciating. I started screaming as well. Then I felt my body become weak. I almost fell down until someone caught me. I looked up to see a man with a lot of scars on his face carrying me. He then whispered.

"Listen to me. Don't say or look at anything. The only thing you can see is my shirt. You'll only be able to talk and see when I take you to somewhere safe from here."

I quickly put my head on chest only looking at his shirt.

...

I realized we came to a complete stop, but that didn't stop me from not looking up. Then I felt myself being thrown towards the wall, but for some odd reason I landed on something soft. But still I didn't open my eyes.

"You can open your eyes now."

I opened my eyes to see that man way too close to my face. My cheeks turned red, then I kicked and punched him, until he couldn't move.

"Jeez, you should be thanking me for saving you, but nope all I get is my body being extremely numb, and I can't move for a couple of minutes."

"If you weren't to close to my face. I wouldn't have done that." I said coldly.

He sighed. We sat in silence for a couple of minutes, until I felt something lick my face. I turned around to see a kitten. I slowly picked it up and started to play with it. Then I felt that something was wrong. I turned around to see the guy just looking at me furiously.

"Don't you dare hurt her."

"I wasn't going to hurt her." I said, then I stopped playing with her, and gave her to the guy.

Suprisingly he got up and took the kitten in his hand. He kissed her head, the kitten smiled. She reminds me of Coco, everytime I kiss him he would always smile. I was so lost in thought I didn't pay attention to what the guy was asking.

"Hey kid, where are your parents?"

I looked at him, and shook my head.

"To be honest, I don't really know where they are. But I do know my mom, Alana, my teacher, and a pet of mine are somewhere safe."

"What about your dad?"

"He wasn't around when I was born. So I don't really know where he is."

"Oh."

He slowly got up, and grabbed my hand.

"Follow me. I will lead you to the room you'll be sleeping in for tonight.

I nodded, he smiled. Then he walked me into a room. He was about to walk out the room. Until I stopped him with one final question.

"What is your name?"

"Cheslav Solov. Also one more thing."

He reached inside his jacket to give me something. I looked closely to see it was a book

"Now here is a book for you to read if you can't sleep."

He gave the book to me and left the room. I sat on the bed and looked at the book.

The Forbidden Love.
