C2 REGRET

I woke up inside darkness, I closed my eyes back thinking I'm dreaming. I pinched myself and it dawned on me that this was reality.

"Am I dead? Am I inside the coffin??"

I asked myself...As I moved my hand and leg freely.

"Okay am not dead yet but I might be sooner," I thought within me.

"Hello!! Who is here?? Somebody help!!!" My voice echoed back to me

I waited for some time and I got no reply...I shouted again. I looked around inside the darkness, is this even a room or where?

Oh, I am hungry!! I said almost crying

I got myself into trouble, I should have to go back after using the toilet. Or what if it's my stepmother that arranged my kidnapped?

Oh, I am dead!!

I was feeling weak as I drifted into darkness.

***

I woke up inside darkness, God what's all this have gotten myself into!!.

I was weak and I couldn't even shout or scream-I don't know how many days have been here, I busted into tears.

"Maybe, I shouldn't have escaped, I shouldn't have come to Penrith, I shouldn't have gone to the coffee shop," I said slowly crying.

If I had stayed at home and endured whatever rose did to me or maybe I should have run down the street maybe I might have not been in this position.

If I had stayed back home,rose was ready to kill me, and now this I don't even know.

I heard footsteps before I could process what was happening a bright light was shone at me, it almost blind me and I have to use my arm to cover my precious eyes.

After what seemed like forever the person went leaving me alone in the darkness.

I sighed in frustration. Ava your life is messed up right now, Poor me.

"Please I am sorry" I muttered as my voice failed me.

I don't think I can survive any day, here again, I am very hungry, thirsty, and weak. The worms in my stomach are feeding themselves with my intestine already-that I know.

Even though they are going to kill me I would have chosen a painless death or a less painful one. The one is experiencing right now is hell before death.

Mum, I thought you are watching over me, come to my aid Or is it that am also going to meet you like rose said-My father's wife?

I don't know whatever I inhaled but my body system is weak. That's all I thought before I slept again

***

I tried opening my eyes, my eyelids are weak to open themselves. I closed them back and then forcibly open them.

I was still unaware of my environment but I know I wasn't in that dark place again, after I was aware I looked around I was in a room. A pounding headache hit me, as I held my head.

How come? How did I get here? Is my life now a drama now? I woke up in a dark place, and now, am in a Godknowsroom.

I looked at the room and I must admit, Like where the fuck is this!! Honestly, this room is elegantly beautiful, but who knows if this is where I will be executed.



Lame!, this place is beautiful for them to kill me here.

I tried standing up I couldn't feel my legs, I was so weak I have to lay back on the bed thinking about what is going to happen to me in some minutes to come.

"Where is my bag?," I thought. I sighed as there was nothing much in the bag just my ulcer drug and the little money there.

I waited a little bit as I roll over to the other side of the bed, when last did I sleep on a bed like this?

"Wait, what if this is my room," The crazy thought came into my head. Ava, you shouldn't be thinking about things like this in this situation.

I laughed at myself, my life is extraordinary every day. I rolled again on the bed, gosh this headache is mad.

At last, I heard footsteps again, I was scared and happy at the same time. The door opened and a guy came inside.

He stared at me and I recognized him quickly as one of those men in black at Penrith.

Everywhere was silent, as he kept staring at me as if he is checking something in my body.

"Is it that fast that I will start servicing you?" I thought within me.

I need to talk, maybe he wants me to talk.

With the pounding headache"See, I am truly innocent I don't know you guys before, I came to Penrith not up to an hour when I met you guys yesterday" I rushed my words with the last strength in me.

Yesterday? What if I had spent months here, yeah, I am very sure I have used more than a day here.

But wait, why is he staring deep into my eyes like that -Jeez!! His eyes could kill.

Another fact noted down, I am with dangerous people. It's either he is a mafia or I don't even know.

He left without saying a word, I sighed.

Not too long, The door opened and a young lady came with a tray of food and a water bottle, as she dropped it on the stool beside the bed.

"Miss, I was asked to bring this," she said dropping the food on the table. I crawled to where the food is.

I quickly carried the food and start devouring it.

"Don't get choked"A deep cold voice said

I looked up and it turns out to be the same guy, I couldn't find the young lady that brought the food. When did he enter?

The food must have occupied my head so much.

He dropped some pain reliever drugs on the table "You have some questions to answer in the next thirty minutes, Get freshen up in the bathroom" He said pointing in the direction of the bathroom "And check the wardrobe if you can find your size"He left after saying that.

How was it??
