Prologue
There was silence all around me, except of the sound of my own beating heart. It sounded as if it was about to bounce out of my chest. I tried to call out to see if anyone was around, but my throat was too dry from sobbing. I listened closely, but I couldn't hear a sign of anyone around. Not even him.
Even after all the things that he had done to me, I was wishing he was here, so I wouldn't go crazy alone in this eerie silence. Not that I wasn't already.
These few past days have been my own personal hell. Facing my fears was something I never planned on doing, but that's exactly what he's made me do. It got to the point to where I wish I was dead. But, I knew he wouldn't kill me. I'm 'too precious' to him. I'm his 'pride and joy'. His 'best work'.
I tried several times to escape, but it was no use. I was sure I was going to be with him there for the rest of my days. I would have to sit through the constant torture of facing my fears every single day for the rest of my life.
I didn't know why he had chosen me, over all people. I wasn't anything special. I never found myself attractive, or my personality all the magnificent. He must've seen something in me that no one else had seen, not even myself. Or I could've been just some random test subject of his. But why had he kept me for so long? Hadn't he had enough of my screaming and pleading for help whenever he would spray me with that fear gas of his? I wouldn't dare ask, because of what he might do to me. He never liked it when I asked questions. But still, I've always wanted to know why he looked at me with those bright, clear blue eyes of his the way he did. The way he smiled at me all the time. I wanted to know what he was thinking. I wanted to get inside of his head. I wanted to know why I was still here. I needed to know. Answering my questions was the least he could do after all he put me through, but I knew the consequences of asking questions.
I had sat there for another two hours until I finally heard some footsteps coming from down the hall. I must've looked like some sort of dog waiting for his master to come home. I knew it would be nearly impossible for someone other than him to show up, but it didn't hurt to hope. Unfortunately, I was half-way disappointed when I saw his tall, skinny silhouette in the near distance. Once he had entered the room, the light was shining down on him. He had very nice facial features, and if I wasn't so afraid of him, you could say that I found him very attractive. But his personality ruined everything.
I was sitting in the corner, my face dried with tears and mascara, as he looked down at me. He smirked at me, probably thinking about how dreadful I must have looked. I stared up at him with my hazel-colored eyes, sparkling with forming tears.
"My, my, Angela, why the long face? I figured you would be happy to see me, since you have been alone for quite a while… and I haven't done anything to you." He reached down with his hand, and put it on my cheek, stroking it softly, sending chills up and down my spine, but I wasn't shaking with fear like I usually was. At that point, I knew that I was beginning to grow stronger. But, I knew he was still stronger than me. And I thought he always would be.
He stepped away from me, turning his back towards me, walking slowly away, but he remained in the room. Silence swept the room once more. I figured this was my chance to finally ask him the question I wanted to be answered. Even though I knew the consequences, I knew I had to ask sometime. I took a deep breath and exhaled, holding my hand tightly in the other. I opened my mouth to start talking, but then I stopped myself. I was starting to have second thoughts. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
"J-Jonathan…." My heart stopped once I said his name. Now I couldn't turn back. He turned around, and gave me his full attention. I swallowed, looked down, avoiding his gaze.
"I.. I just wanted to know…w-why am I still here?" My voice trailed off at the end of the sentence. At first I thought he didn't hear me, but the look he gave me was just a look of shock. He knew he had told me to never ask questions. I figured he would be furious. For a few moments, I was expecting him to hit me like he had done before, but instead, he tilted his head slightly to the side while staring at me, with a pleasant smirk on his face. Now I was the one wearing a look of shock. It was unbelievable how well he was behaving right now. Maybe I had caught him in a good mood. He was never in a good mood. He began to slowly walk towards me, and stopped a few inches in front of me. He bent down, so we were face to face. He slouched forward, and took my chin and moved it upward so I was looking into his eyes. The look in his eyes made mine widen. He wasn't angry at all. He was…amused. Amused that I had just asked him a question. He removed his hand from my chin, but I didn't dare look away. He leaned forward a few inches more. At first, I thought he was attempting to kiss me, so I backed away a few inches, but he went over and put his mouth to my ear, whispering softly into it
"In time…. you will know…"
The next thing I knew, all the light escaped from my sight, and I was surrounded in pure darkness.
