Blackwood

Chapter 7

(Y/n)'s POV

I opened my eyes to complete darkness. The air around me felt cold and tasted stale. My head pounded. It felt like my skull was being crushed. I try to reach for my head but something catches my wrist. Panic courses through me and i start to tug my wrists. Some type of restraint keeps my hands down, i guessed chains from the sound they emitted. Ringing blares in my ears, and my heart pounds in my chest. I cant help it, i start screaming for help.

I dont know how long i was screaming but eventually my voice gave out. It felt like there was glass ripping my throat. I tried to scream more but nothing came out but a pained cry. Tears streamed down my face and i whimpered.

~Time Skip~

It felt like hours. Hours spent crying in that cold, dark room. Suddenly, the door opened. A short burst of bright light shined into the room. It looked like a hospital room, medical equipment scattered on counters and metal trays. The sight of the equipment alone shook me to the core. The door closed with a slam, the light ripped from the room as fast as it flooded in. I could hear footsteps coming down a flight of stairs to my right, before stopping right next to me.

I tried not to move, fear coursing through me. Trying to pretend to be asleep. I knew whoever it was, was staring at me. I could feel their eyes burning holes into my skull. "I know your awake." They spoke after what felt like hours. My heart felt like it stopped. It sounded like a man. The room felt haunted after they spoke. I could feel my bones rattling, my heart pounding against my rip cage. My skin felt like it was vibrating.

I hear a soft thud. Like something being placed on a metallic object. Then the pressure on my wrists are released with two small clicks. I kept still as metal clangs on the floor. The person stood there a while longer before leaving. When the door shuts, i immediately sit up, only to crash back down onto the metal slab i seem to be laying on. My wrists felt like there were pins and needles shooting through them. Slowly, but shakily, i use my elbows to sit up. My head ached and i put my hand shakily onto my head where the pain was. Stitches? Why were there stitches? I drop my hand back onto my lap.  

I looked around the room. Most of it was still pitch black but i could see things closer to me. I was right about laying on a metal slab. I look down at my feet, sure enough, there were chains. I pull my feet slightly and the chain moved with them. I guess whoever it was loosened the chains. Slowly i pull my knees to my chest and wrap my arms around them, holding them to me. It felt like i could fall apart at any moment. I felt so powerless, so alone. I bury my face into my knees and just stay there. The last few memories i have before this room flashing in my head. The move, my house, my... parents. It suddenly dawned on me. My parents...

I could feel glass in my throat, but not from screaming. I was holding back tears, choking on them. My parents were gone... no one will come find me. They probably think i did it. I could feel the tears flooding my eyes, threatening to fall. I feel so weak.

Why did everything have to go wrong?

A/N: Finally! This chapter took a while to write. The past week has been extremely stressful and things happened that caused me to delay the chapter longer than i wanted. But i had some time today to finish. So enjoy!
