Midst of Darkness! 8. Struggled Swim!
Aurora's POV I struggled, did whatever I could do to get hold of something or someone. Hands couldn't help but struggled to hold on to the water which wasn't possible. Legs couldn't find the ground to stand. Eyes were closed and saw nothing but darkness, lungs burnt without oxygen and head filled with the water through nose. It felt like my heart would come out of my chest and float in the water. My heart felt more pain than my body. I was about to pass out but then a strong hand pulled me up. I clutched on the hand tightly and sucked in the breath, took in as much as I could do like I am not going to get air again. My eyes opened as I kept gasping for the air. Eyes were burning due to water. Those mischievous grey orbs mocked me. Rafael was holding me up. "I have a phobia of water, please... Leave me!... I'll die!" I pleaded and tried to get out of the water but he held me back firmly. He was standing in the water like a king, and water wasn't even reaching his chest while
Midst of Darkness! 9. Challenging himself!
Aurora's POV I stepped back when he placed me down. I know my eyes had shown him nothing but my weakness. I was still trembling with the cold and my hair was dripping. He looked at me with a blank look like he didn't notice me stepping back but he did. He noticed it and that was my first realisation that if he is calm then he is more mad. "We can visit the swimming pool again, if you insist..." He cocked his eyebrow. "Are you going to rape me?" I sobbed while clutching on my arms tightly as if it would have saved me. "Rape?" He chuckled. "I would call it pleasure..." I followed his movements when he went to my closet and grabbed a towel. I couldn't understand what he meant, how can I get pleasure when I don't want him to touch me. When I am terrified of him. I flinched when he stood behind me and started drying my wet hair. He ruffled them gently. "Rape is when woman doesn't enjoy it, it hurts her, she feels disgusted and she doesn't feel good..." I stood there froz
Midst of Darkness! 10. Good girl!
Aurora's POV That night I slept like my soul had left my body, it was almost like I was unconscious due to drowning. But that nightmare didn't leave me alone, I was a seven year old child when I was playing around the pool with my puppy. He ran towards the pool, I quickly grabbed him so he wouldn't drown himself, his one leg was injured and dad had rescued him from the streets. I bonded with him quickly. I was about to get up when someone kicked me from behind and I fell into the pool along with the puppy. Same darkness, burning of lungs, feeling of body getting numb and not getting anything to hold on, fear of death, everything was the same. Someone pulled me out, it was Dad. He rescued me. "How the hell did you end up in the pool" He yelled at me, but it didn't matter because I was numb. I was shocked. When I recovered, Dad told me that the puppy died after drowning. I still regret that day and my fear of water got stronger. I don't remember who kicked me but all I heard
Midst of Darkness! 11. Who is he?
Aurora's POV I was reading a book after having dinner. Occasionally checking that officers are still out. It was almost past ten and I was wondering if he was going to come that night. What if he came but saw police at the door and went back? A part of me wanted him to come and get caught by police and a part of me wanted him to disappear and never come back like he never existed. I looked at the book again and realised that I was just looking at the page and was thinking about something else. I wasn't reading at all. My mind wasn't working properly, I was scared. My fear came to reality when I heard noise outside. He was out there! I clutched the book tightly as my stomach churned. I thought I won't be scared as the police were out but I was wrong, he scared me even with that hope. I placed the book down and got out of the bed, my hands trembled as I twisted the lock and opened my bedroom door. My soul almost knocked out of my body when I saw Rafael in the living room. H
Midst of Darkness! 12. Real identity!
Aurora's POV "Which book you were reading?" He asked while shuffling through pages of the book I was reading before that chaos. Bodies are still on the floor, one had a bullet in the chest and the other had a bullet in the head. I was shaking uncontrollably, not knowing how bullets hit the exact spot. Rafael was normal, unaffected by the bodies like it was his daily work. I had no idea how he managed to stay so calm. What was his profession, what does he do for living? I wondered. He again took a seat beside me which he left to freshen up and that's how he found my book. "Mind giving me some insights of the story, I am bored!" He was mocking me. I was still in shock, my eyes weren't living bodies. He just added to my list of nightmares. He holds the craziness which I wouldn't even imagine in my dreams. I couldn't deal with him. If the police couldn't believe me then I was ruined, that was my only hope. "It's a thriller story" I mumbled staring blankly at bodies which
Midst of Darkness! 13. Claimed!
Aurora's POV He placed me down on the bed and I fell on the bed like a lifeless doll thinking was I the first girl he was doing that to me. Had he forced other girls too? What will he do once he is done with me? Probably kill me after satisfying himself. I couldn't help but wonder about that. As he promised I was numb, he snatched all my hopes and left me helpless. There was no one to save me. I have no family, I have no one to call a family. Rafael got an easy target, or maybe I was wrong because I don't think even that would have stopped him. I closed my eyes when his thumb touched my lips. He didn't smell like a gun and cigarette that night. There was a hint of freshness in his scent. It invaded my mind when he leaned closer to me, I could feel his breath on my face. "Aren't you going to stop me, Angel?" He asked amused while caressing my cheek with his knuckles. His platinum rings were cold. He wanted me to struggle and then make me realise that I won't succeed. I didn
Midst of Darkness! 14. Accident!
Aurora's POV "Aurora!" I groaned in sleep as my body hurt with movements. I took seconds before I understood that someone called me in a whisper. Adrenaline rushed inside me and my eyes snapped open, body jolted up as I sat and cowered back with the gasp. "Hey, it's okay... It's just me.." Catherine frowned at me while raising her hands in defence. I sighed in relief and ran my hand through my hair. I thought it was Rafael. My throat was dry, I grabbed the bottle from the table and gulped the water down. My heart went to its normal beating as I looked around and realised that I am still in the library. Catherine made me sleep here after breakfast and I had a good sleep that feels like I have slept for days. Maybe I was really tired. "You look like you have been sleeping for decades." She chuckled, my eyes must be swollen because I can feel it. I don't mind because I am feeling fresh and relaxed after a nap. "Shift is over... And we still have half day left... It's such a
Midst of Darkness! 15. Framed!
Aurora's POV I looked at the man shocked and frozen in my place. "He is dead!" I mumbled in shock. I looked at his body, it was wounded badly and was heavily bleeding. "He died on the spot!" The man beside him screamed at me. "You!" He got up while fuming in anger. "You are the same girl, right?" He accused. "You had an argument with him in the restaurant... You did it on purpose. You killed him!" I shook my head furiously. I can't do this and that too for little argument. Has he gone crazy. It was an accident for god's sake! My eyes turned glossy. No matter what, he died because of me. "Excuse me, Mr. Whatever!" Catherine gritted. "You crazy fuckers were driving like you were snakes in past lives and you made us lose control... It's your fault and he was a piece of shit anyway." I looked at Catherine. "Don't say that about a dead person." It sounds really bad but she is right, it was their fault that they were driving roughly. Police and medical help arrived
