Chapter 29: Life in prison
>>Corvina
Thrown into a dark abandoned cellar, my already twisted foot hit the frame of the door, further twisting into an unrecoverable injury.
A sharp cry of pain escaped my lips as Agony shot through me like a bolt of lightning, searing through every nerve ending and leaving me gasping for breath while I went stumbling down the stairs.
The heavy door slammed shut, sealing me in darkness as I hit the ground. I couldn't even protest as Hubert made it all so quick and walked away.
"No," Tears stung my eyes as I sank to the cold, hard ground, "No, wait," I tried to look back but his footsteps were already receding while my injured foot throbbed with an intensity that bordered on unbearable. Each movement sent waves of agony rippling through me, "No," I ended up breaking down, "No..."
With trembling hands, I reached out, groping blindly in the darkness for any semblance of comfort, but the cold stone walls offered no solace. The air hung heavy with the scent of mildew and decay, suffocating me with its oppressive weight.
This cellar was never used, the only thing it was used for in all the years was to imprison me in it.
The only prominent sound in the dark room was the sound of my sobs.
Despair clawed at my chest, threatening to crush me beneath its crushing weight as I struggled to make sense of my predicament. How did it come to this? I thought I was doing fine
Tear droplets fell to the floor
How did it get even worse than this? How? Just how?! I crawled on the floor, I couldn't get up, there was too much pain in my body. So, I dragged myself across the cold, unforgiving floor, my fingers scraping against the rough stone as I searched for a safe place to position myself.
