We all bleed differently. Some through wounds, and some through words.
-Unknown.A few months ago...|I R I S|"Why is it so dark?" Tori, my friend asked looking above her at the sky darker than the coal."Because it's night?" I answered in a 'duh' and that earned me a roll of eyes from her. Tori is scared of dark, the only reason she is standing here is because I wanted to take a walk at night before we leave this place tomorrow morning."You know there is very scary saying," Tori started, scared, looking around as if making sure no one else is hearing, before she continued, "Darkness is the biggest ally of monsters." She finished and safe to say she is shit scared right now."Do one thing," I said and she looked at me with uncertainty as if I am going to ask her to find the monster for me. "Return to your room, I'll be back shortly." I told her and she somehow looked relieved for a minute before worry staked over her face."Hell no! I can't leave you alone." She insisted."Tori, I'll be fine." I assured her and though she didn't looked convinced but she took my words for it and turned around, heading back to the hotel we are staying in for tonight.I continued my walk in the opposite direction, walking and staring at the little stars twinkling above my head. The moon is half of its size today as it accompany me by moving along with me. Walking has always been an important part of my night ritual, I can't sleep until I know I have done my night walk. I blame it on my father and mother who always took me with them to walk around in the town at late night. The town wasn't as dark as Italy is right now if anything else, the town was bright and peaceful at night.A shrill piercing scream tore through my ears, stopping me in my tracks. I clutched my chest in one hand as the fear trickled inside my body, immediately. I realized how fast my heart was beating when I heard the sound of dub-dub reaching my ears. By the speed my heart was racing it had be no surprise if it would end up coming out of my body.I hadn't even recovered from the first scream when a painful cry for help hit my ears, scaring me. Being the curious woman, I am, instead of running in the opposite direction of the scream I followed the sound of that painful cry until it started sounding close.My mind told me to turn around and run for my life but my heart told me to follow the scream until I calm my curiosity. And, like a dumb person I moved further until I am standing behind the source of that loud painful sound.A man larger than the life was towering his sitting figure. Because of the dark I couldn't really see any of them. But I know the guy seems familiar and was well aware of what was happening right in front of me. Blood dripping from the face of the boy begging for his life while he only relaxed his shoulder before a dark and evil chuckle escaped his lips.Leaning down, he rested his gun under the familiar guy's chin and forced him to look up at him."Please, let me go." The familiar guy begged tears streaming down his face mixing with the blood droplets on his face.I felt having difficulty in breathing as I watched the scene unfolding in front of me regarding a murder. I don't even know if it would be a murder but the horror on the scared boy's face feed to my assumptions."I am sorry. P-Please, don't kill me." He stuttered his bloody teeth showing looking scary. I kept my palms on my mouth trying to keep myself shut while watching a such horrific scene."Pathetic." I heard the man with the gun say in a low tone before he kicked him on the chest resulting in him falling down on the ground.The boy lying down on the ground tried to crawl away from the monster in front of him only to be dragged back by the man, the ground consisted of a few sharp rocks that probably dug deeper in his skin when he was dragged to which he responded with tortured screams that penetrated like a shape knife through my ears.A soft gasp left my lips and I tightened the hold of my palms on my mouth. Tears streaming down my face as I watched shockingly a man torturing another man with his life. The boy's shirt was stained with his own blood while he kept screaming for help and begging for his own life in front of a monster, all in vain."Time to pay, Ray." He said as his gun pointed straight for his head and before he could pull the trigger I heard myself screaming.His head snapped behind and just in time the light on the streets not so far away from us glowed. I observed his gray eyes focused at me with nothing but only emptiness in them. His gray eyes were as dark and melancholy as the ashes of people he might have killed.Being the focus of his predating gray eyes was weighing down on my shoulders as I waited to disappear in the thin air and get away from his dangerous and dark aura that was slowly enveloping me, now.My eyes moved to the boy who was covered in his own blood, behind him. His blue eyes connected with mine slightly begging me to save his life but the life drained out of his eyes in a matter of seconds when the monster pulled the trigger and the bullet hit between both of his eyes.His blue eyes that were imploring me to make sure his survival, were now staring back blankly at me. I feel responsible for his death by the way his lifeless eyes are looking back at me. I found myself unable to bring anything out of my mouth.Neither words nor a scream that I desperately want to get out.My eyes moved back to the empty gray ones which were already looking back at me with a bored expression, "You weren't on today's murder agenda." He muttered under his breath as if he is bored and just warm to get done with it. He crooked his neck, slightly, bringing his hand up aiming for me, lazily.My breathing stopped for a quick minute when I realised how close I was standing to death right now. Just a flicker of seconds and his fingers will pull the trigger, bringing me the same end as the guy lying life less behind him.But before he could pull the trigger, I gathered all the courage and took his unawareness as an opportunity when I ran back towards the way I came from, to survive.Curious fingertips on dangerously soft skin. -Unknown. |I R I S|I ran faster than I ever did for my life, passing the large trees touching the sky I stopped when the hotel came in my view. Turning around, I looked for him but there was no sign of the monster running after my life. Still, not letting my guards down, I immediately rushed inside the hotel and locked my room once I was inside it. Resting my back against the door, I panted everything that happened just a few minutes ago, flashing in front of my eyes. His dangerous grey eyes holding the coldness of the world and those blue eyes begging one second to be saved and looking black at me with nothing in the the next second. My heart beat is racing like crazy, refusing to calm down and give me relief. I found myself struggling to breath as if someone's invisible fingers are wrapped around my throat squeezing the life out of me and I can't do anything about it. Helpless blue eye
Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways. - Sigmund Freud.|I R I S|"Sup, little cat." I heard him whispering in my ear from behind. His voice laced with nothing but danger freezing me in my tracks.Chills ran down my spine when I realised how close I was standing to my end. I couldn't help but go rigid in my place. His face was so close to my back that I could hear him breathing right behind me. Tears threatened to fall down my cheeks but I controlled them. I can't cry. I won't. There are people. He can't do any harm. He can't kill me. He won't kill me. I chanted in my head to assure myself of my safety between these people who are talking shit about Ray who isn't here and is dead. They are all blaming him for making us all late but no one is thinking about the things that could have gone wrong with him. Terror slowly seeped inside my body just by the mere presence of the monster stan
I do not suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it. - Edgar Allan Poe.|L O R E N Z O|"Why not just kill her?" Mason, my right hand questioned as I made a drink for myself. His question was straight and logical but what he didn't knew was that my sister is coming to meet his brother today. And, I don't want to be covered in blood when my sister will see me. Taking a sip of the drink that burned my throat and inside as it drowned deeper. "Aleeza is coming." I answered his questions and he shut his mouth in understanding. "But what did she do?" Rowan asked, more like demanded. "She witnessed a murder." I told him and took another sip of my drink. Rowan kept staring at me for more explanation and I wanted to flip him off but decided otherwise. I don't want tk be in a sour mood when Aleeza arrives. "I committed." I added for him. "Done," Lucas said when he returned from locking the woman with big violet eyes. I've never seen eyes like hers
They have promised that dreams can come true, but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too. -Oscar Wilde. |I R I S|The basement room where they locked me in is scary. The walls here are painted with the blood of people who died at the hands of this monster. The air around me is suffocating and it is hard to stay calm when you can hear the piercing scream of another person from a few rooms away. I wonder how he is getting treated and how old he is. I wonder what he did to be here.Hugging my knees to my chest, I pushed myself in one deep corner of the room. Right now taking every next breath feels like a bliss. Because I don't know when would I stop E breathing and it would all end here without me achieving all I wanted to in my life. Just because I thought I had enough time. The room isn't completely dark but the only source of light in this death trap is the ray of light that is reaching to me through the small window. And, I have suddenly grown paranoid of dark. "Are
The devil does not come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you've ever wished for. - Tucker Max. |L O R E N Z O|Everyone enjoys different things, different genre, different music, I enjoy watching people bleed when their face show the terror I made them feel. It gives me power. It assures me that I am the one with power and not the other way. I have never craved anything in my life like I live for power. And, the screams of the man who tried to mess with me sounds like the most soothing music right now. Aleeza is sleeping in her room peacefully while I on the other hand am taking a walk in my basement to see the suffering of people I caused at midnight. My feets came to a halt when my eyes fell on the woman lying down on the floor with her knees brought up to her chest. I recognized her from the night when she witnessed me murdering a 21 year old boy. He was an asshole. A fucking asshole who was taking pleas
And, all of a sudden she felt really tired. Like the world has drained her for everything that she had. -Unknown. |I R I S|The night passed quickly and surprisingly enough, I found myself covered with a blanket in the morning when I woke up. There was no one else that came to my mind other than Rowan who could have done that. Because, of course, the people here aren't saint who provides blanket and food to the people they have kidnapped. I am starting to think that maybe Rowan isn't as bad as thought of him to be. But it's only been one day and the image of their friend killing a boy of my class is imprinted in my mind which makes it hard to believe anyone associated with him. His heart didn't melted when the boy was begging him. He didn't even flinched when he shot him in the head and he didn't hesitated when he pointed the gun at me to kill me. "I can't believe him." I heard a feminine voice that echoed through the hall of the basement before it reached me. Is she another pr
Our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. -Edgar Allan Poe.|L O R E N Z O|"What on Earth do you think you brought her here for?" I called from behind and all three of their heads turned towards me. Aleeza looked furious when met my eyes and Rowan looked like he would support her in everything right now. Lucas couldn't care less about the matter right now as he ignored everyone. My eyes stopped when they met her violet ones. Her eyes widened in terror and I noticed how she deliberately but quickly took steps back. I couldn't help the smirk that overtook my face when I realised the terror I fill people with just by my presence. "What on Earth was she in basement for?" Aleeza seethed and the way her eyes were shooting daggers in my direction and the way her jaw is clenched, I am pretty sure she is furious right now. "To die," I answered simply as I made my way towards them. "Shut up, Lorenzo." Aleeza warne
Why do we cling to what we loose while we ignore what we still hold? -Steven Erikson. |I R I S|"Don't be scared. You're safe now." Rowan reassured and I was starting to believe at these two. "Yup." Aleeza said popping the 'p' as she settled the tray of snacks on the bed in front of me. I am really hungry. I have barely ate anything from last two days. Even the food Rowan brought me last night didn't do anything for my lost appetite. But now when I have some hope that I could be safe. Like, maybe, just maybe, I can live. I am suddenly starving. "This is your room." Aleeza informed me when I took one snack from the tray and put it in my mouth enjoying the crunchy taste on my tongue. I closed mt eyes and devoured the taste of the delicious food. "Thank you." I thanked her with a genuine smile on my lips. I don't remember the last time I smiled with all those chaos going on in my life. Aleeza returned my smile and I turned my head to Rowan, "Th
