Chapter 170: Wouldn’t You Like To Know?
My eyelash fluttered open as I laid in complete darkness. It’s been a month and sixty two days since I’ve laid in darkness, a month and fifteen days and eighteen hours without no contact from the outside world, the only thing I have is my thought and even they started to leave me alone slowly.
I do not know where I am, I do not know how I got here, I do not even know who took me and what they want for me. I assume they must want something because that must be the only reason they kept me alive.
When I had first came to it was to a bunch of healers who were busy trying to force medicine down my throat. At first I had thought it was poison so I had thrash against them, clawing and scratching while trying to knock whatever they were trying to feed me away from their hands. It didn’t take long for them to be able to subdue me, two firm hands held me down while another yanked my head and pinched the bridge of my nose as they forced the bitter liquid down my throat.
That continued for a weak until I felt my strength returning and so I decided that I was going to escape. I had laid out the perfect plan. I assumed they would underestimate me since they didn’t know who I was, turns out I had underestimated them.
They always wore masks so I couldn’t see their faces but whoever they were, they were strong. They took me down and when I showed no sign of going down without a fight, I felt them inject something inside of me. Whatever it was made my movements sluggish and my tongue heavy, it immobilizes me completely and makes me feel sleepy.
That continued for two more days and at one point it felt like my whole body was paralyzed, that feeling was the worst so I accepted my fate. I stayed still in the darkness and the only way I could see the light was whenever they deliver food to me through the small shutter on the iron door. That was all I could see and then it was darkness.
Staying in darkness was torture, the most cruel torture I have ever experienced I cried a few times, cried till I felt I didn’t have it in me to cry anymore and then the screaming began. I would wake up for no reason and start screaming but that wasn’t the worst of them all.
Hallucinations!
That was the worst part, starting to see things that weren’t there. At first I started seeing father who threw insults at me, then my mother who was begging me to end it all and next thing I heard was the sound of a baby crying in the darkness.
