[Cara] Is it even possible for a person to feel so hollow?Detached?Not to feel anything?I mean, I do feel one thing. Coldness. It felt as though thick layers of ice had been laid down over my chest, rendering it completely numb. Where I can’t feel anything at all.Had I finally succumbed to madness?I don’t know, and I no longer care if I do.“Oh, fuck!”My attention shifted to the man humping furiously inside me. His head rests over my shoulder as he shudders for one forceful thrust. He had already lowered his gun, pounding ceaselessly as I could feel him nearing his climax.Honestly, I don’t know what to make of my situation right now. I wanted to think of this as a one-night stand. Nancy and I have done it a few times before, just for fun when we’re so drunk and up for some mischief.On the other hand, in contrast to some of those one-night stands, this one offers absolutely no pleasure.The only sensation I could feel was nothing but him frantically rubbing his shaft into my w
[Cara]I twisted the key on the padlock, and nothing sounded more satisfying than to hear it click open. Nancy was right close behind me, holding the hem of my blouse like a child clinging to her mother.Aside from the dagger, I also stole two guns from the guard and the rifle. I have no idea how to use it, but I know I’ll figure it out when it comes to life-and-death situations.I poked my head out, checking the perimeter first to ensure no one was roving the hallway leading to our cell. Only then, when the coast was clear, I tugged Nancy as we slipped out.Right down the corridor was another door, and on the opposite side was a dead end. Unfortuitously, our cell was located on the opposite end of the passage from the entrance, and it was blocked with solid unpainted concrete walls. There were others too, but they were all empty. The only exit was the door at the end of the hallway, an no other way around.“What if there were more guards posted outside?” Nancy mumbled apprehensively,
[3rd POV—Damon]Damon had seen everything through the surveillance footage soon as Davien had gained access to Burson’s central system. The entire building facility Burson had built in the middle of nowhere was somewhat surprising. Taking into consideration how he had managed to conceal it from their satellite's radar. Davien managed to work it out through the footage for a short period, and he had witnessed it in real time when Burson stepped into the frame along with that traitor of a bitch who turned out to be his whore. It riled him up even more, thinking that she tried to seduce him in his own house. That he had allowed such slut to penetrate through his first line of defenses.However, what he hadn’t prepared himself to witness was when that fucking bastard violated Cara.They were still miles when it happened. As much as he wanted their vehicle to teleport where she was, Damon couldn't do anything but curl his fingers into a ball while painstakingly enduring the entire scene
[3rd POV—Damon]Damon intensely glared at her, his body rimming up with abhorrence when the tip of her finger touched his index and curled around the trigger.It was still a big mystery to him how this woman associated with Burson and at the same time managed to infiltrate his fortress.Looks can be very deceiving, indeed. No one had ever suspected her of anything. Not even his keen sense.She’s like a chameleon. She can hide her presence the way she wanted it to be. It was rather a commending attribute, but at the same time pain in the ass.“I’m very good at tango, don’t you want to see?” Her irritating voice scratched his ears the wrong way, and it took a lot of his willpower not to shove his hands down to her mouth and yank her throat.His gaze around her darkened with fury, blotting red at the corner as his flesh begs him to flay this woman alive and hang her innards right at the door. Brutal, but that’s what he wanted to do.He might have respected women in general, but this one
[Cara]Damon is here.I know I am still mad at him, but then he could be our last hope to get out of here alive.Just the sound of Burson's voice below us was enough to make Nancy quake, and it made my stomach turn and churn in a revolting manner whenever I thought about him and Ashley torridly kissing. My mind simply could not wrap itself around the idea that the two of them were related in any way.“It’s going to be fine, Nancy,” I whispered to my friend, coaxing her to focus on me instead of the men below us.We stayed still for I didn’t know how long until everything became still again. I peered into the exhausted, ensuring that no one will be able to hear us crawl into the vent.I nudge her, making her go forward first as I follow closely behind her. We were moving at a snail's pace rate, but at least we are making more progress than none at all.As we made our way deeper into the vent's dusty surface, the space there became increasingly congested. The unfiltered air traveling th
[3rd POV—Damon]Blood. That was all that he could see.The crimson, viscous liquid pooled around the concrete floor and flooded his vision.He wasn’t supposed to be afraid of it.In fact, he had to bathe himself numerous times with the blood of his enemies.He even knows what’s the taste of it.However, it becomes entirely different when the blood that is spilling right now is from the woman he cherished the most.His beacon of light. The only good in his bad.It was terrifying to look at.Utterly frightening to the point that his mind almost immediately went blank.The rage that had bottled up inside him blew up and started to consume him. His wrath traveled from his chest channeled into his arm and into his finger, prompting him to squeeze the trigger just in time for Cara’s body to fall limply into the floor.One bullet.It could only take one bullet to be able to end a person’s life. But it wasn’t going to be enough.Damon shoots Burson in the shoulders at first, then his leg, gi
[Cara]Darkness…Darkness filled my vision no matter how hard I tried to keep my eyes open. Turning to some point that, I have to physically check my eyes to make sure they’re still open. It was completely dark, with no dotted light that could be spotted in all directions.“Hello?”My voice resounded loudly in the abyss, fading away as it traveled further and further until it was finally swallowed up by the deafening quiet.Where am I?Fear started to encrypt into my senses, and the hairs on the back of my neck sprang up in sheer trepidation.“Anyone?” I called again, whipping around while frantically looking about in the hopes of spotting some kind of indication or flicker of light that I could follow. Yet, there’s nothing. Just an eerie silence and darkness drowning me.“Nancy?”I remembered the last time we were running away from Burson.He was chasing us, prowling behind us while Nancy was injured with her ankle twisted and my body sapped with the strength to run.I sift through
[Cara]I don’t know what I should feel about his presence. Somewhat thankful that he had saved Nancy and me once again but also hateful that he got us there in the first place.“Baby, it’s alright. You are now safe.” Mom pulled my attention and noticed my body was visibly trembling, still shaken from the nightmares that plagued me.There were four of them now. Two of them were already dead. It is completely unknown to me whether or not Burson is still alive. Nonetheless, they still manage to make me suffer even with their absence. While the other one was still alive, whose pair of dark orbs were staring at me intently as though I would disappear from his sight at any given moment.A multitude of emotions was starting to flood me, to the point I didn’t know which one I would listen to.Mom said I am safe, but I’m still not.“How are you feeling, Cara.” He lifted his hands and was about to touch my face, but my body reacted so swiftly and recoiled away from him.“You have eyes, can’t yo
