Hi everyone, first of all I'd like to thank you for choosing to read this story, my very first one and I hope you'll enjoy it.
Disclaimers: Stephenie Meyer owns the wonderful universe of Twilight...not me :(
I opened my eyes seeing nothing as usual. How long are they going to keep me here ? I asked myself. I lost count of the days. For all I knew I been here for years. However, I'm sure I been here no less than a week. The worst part was that they always kept me in the dark. They could at least give me a candle or something.
I rolled over, my left side aching, thanking me for finally getting off of it. The ground was hard and cold. My arms and legs were covered in small indents left from the tiny rocks covering the ground. They wouldn't even give me a thin blanket to sleep on. I closed my eyes again, seeing that keeping them open was no different than keeping them closed.
I laid there thinking over how I got myself into this mess. What a stupid girl I was. I let myself be used and controlled like that. All for what? Everything he told me was a lie. He only used me to get what he wanted, and I fell for it. I let a few tears escape my still closed eyes.
Time passed and yet no one has come to check on me yet. What time was it? Surly it was passed dawn wasn't it? My stomached started protesting, burning me from the inside. When was the last time I ate anything? Finally, from what seemed like hours I heard foot steps coming towards me. I heard the jingle of the keys. The click it made when it unlocked the locked door.
I sat up not saying anything. For the last time I did, I was punished. I cringed at the memory of that. Ever since that time I learned to keep my mouth shut. Prisons had no right to say or do anything.
It was too dark to see but it was the same man who always comes to check up on me. Being here so long my eyes became used to the blinding darkness. The man had a big outline and if I wasn't mistaking he was very poorly gifted with good looks.
The man kneel-ed down and yanked my arms away from my body towards him. In one hand he had both of my writs, while on the another he had something dangling. At that moment my heart froze. It was time.
I found myself being tied up and pulled like a dog. which in his eyes I properly was. We were walking down a narrow tunnel. Big enough to only fit two people. If I turned my head I would be able to see openings in the wall. The lantern from the man allowed me to see the many people locked up in here. How many of them were innocent...or guilty?
I turned away from the people. For once they saw the dim light they started screaming. Yelling that they were innocent, to get them out, to feel some compassion for the unfortunate. My eyes stared spilling tears, for I knew what it felt to be like them. For I was one of them. However, I knew better than to start yelling as they did.
We reached to what seemed the end of the tunnel. Located there was an old bolted door. With two men standing guard on either side on it. They had many lanterns so I was able to see each of their faces. Which meant they could see mine as well.
One of the guards looked up as we came into view. He looked at me and winked. That made my spine shiver with fear. While the other laughed as he saw me. Like he knew what awaited me and found that amusing.
The men exchanged some words which I didn't quite catch. It sounded like French, however I wasn't positive about that. The guards unlocked the door and threw it open. That was when I became blind.
After spending weeks in the dark, my eyes became blind with light. I was trying to adjust my sight, when I left a hard tug that brought me to the floor. I fell over and landed right on a rock. I felt blood drip down on my forehead. In the distant a roar of laughter burst in the air.
" It happens every time." said one of the guards in English. my guess was that he wanted me to over hear those words.
At that moment the over sized man roughly pulled me up by my hair. I let out a scream, which made them all laugh. I shut my mouth I wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of seeing me in pain. From now on whatever happens to me I will not let them see me suffer.
I heard a high screech sound behind me. I turned and looked to see, the huge doors closing. I still managed to see the guard who winked at me give me a smug smile. As if saying better you than me.
By now my eyesight had improved. And for the first time in a long time I saw the world around me. My eyes started to water. For although I felt an eternity pulled away from it. It remain unchanged. I felt stupid for thinking the world would stop because I left.
The man grabbed my tied up arms and added a longer rope and tied me up to the horse. He was muttering something in his native tongue. He climbed on the horse and pulled on his reins. The horse trotted forward, roughly pulling me as well.
And so my journey started. Where... I did not know. But I had a feeling I was going to find out and it wasn't going to be pleasant.
So if your reading this that means you read my story...so thank you and please review!
