They have promised that dreams can come true, but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
-Oscar Wilde.|I R I S|The basement room where they locked me in is scary. The walls here are painted with the blood of people who died at the hands of this monster.The air around me is suffocating and it is hard to stay calm when you can hear the piercing scream of another person from a few rooms away. I wonder how he is getting treated and how old he is. I wonder what he did to be here.Hugging my knees to my chest, I pushed myself in one deep corner of the room. Right now taking every next breath feels like a bliss. Because I don't know when would I stop E breathing and it would all end here without me achieving all I wanted to in my life.Just because I thought I had enough time.The room isn't completely dark but the only source of light in this death trap is the ray of light that is reaching to me through the small window. And, I have suddenly grown paranoid of dark."Are you okay?" Suddenly a voice out of no where made me flinch at my place. My eyes moved towards the window where a man with dark brown hairs is standing and his blue eyes are focused on me.I remember him from those three guys who live with the monster. I couldn't help the way my heart beat increased and it became difficult to breath when the thought of dying right here at this moment hit me.Is he here to kill me?Will he torture me first?Or, would it be a sudden death?Hundred of questions raced through my mind and there was no answer to any of them. Just fear, the fear of loosing everything without even getting it was enveloping me."Hey, don't be scared. It's okay." He tried to assure me in the softest voice he could manage to speak in. But it is hard to believe the friends of the monster himself, they have to be as demoniac as him.His small blue eyes narrowed in concern but I couldn't believe the concern in his eyes while the only thing that okayed in my mind is that I am here to be killed."I am Rowan." He introduced himself when a long breath escaped my lips after trying to breath for so long."Just calm down, please." He pleaded and despite my mind telling me otherwise I let my heart lead my actions as I relaxed, letting go of knees."W-why are you h-here?" I managed to speak with my shaky breathing. Resting his hands on the window he looked back at me."Just to make sure you're okay." He said, softly. I know I shouldn't believe him. For the 50% part I don't. But the remaining 50% of my heart is forcing me to believe his words and concern."Why would you do that?" I questioned as my eyes narrowed at him in confusion.Don't let them fool you, Iris.Don't let them use you, Iris.I repeated in my head while talking to the man with blue eyes, Rowan, as he said."It wasn't your fault." He mumbled loud enough for me to catch. My mind went back to the night when Ray died while begging me to save him.He shot him right in his head and the blood splattered all around from his cracked skull. He was lying in the pool of his own blood when I ran away from there.Tell this to that monster of a person.Tell him to leave me.Tell him to let me go.Tell him to let me live.I wanted to scream all these words to Rowan but kept my mouth shut. The fear of dying inside me isn't letting me voice my thoughts. It isn't letting me speak.I didn't realised that my eyes turned glossy until a tear slipped down my cheek. I immediately wiped it away hoping it goes unnoticed by him.Don't look weak, Iris.Don't let them think you're weak, Iris."I will bring you dinner." Rowan informed me before he walked away from my sight leaving me alone, again, in the dark room with a ray of light that does nothing to calm my panic and my mind that I so desperately want to escape right now.Thr thoughts of my parents waiting for me at home right now crossed my mind. What would they be thinking? Would they find out that I'm here? I don't know what would go through their mind when they will find out that their only daughter disappeared from their life without a word.Would they think of me as a bad daughter?Would they be fine without me?I don't know what to do anymore other than letting the tears threatening to fall down move freely down my cheek when no one is watching me.My mind is a mess right now. I am not capable of sleeping without the nightmares of last night waking me up with sweaty body and fastened heart beat like it would stop anytime, now.I never knew that surviving alone with my mind would become such difficult task for me one day. Someone has really said it right that human mind is truly the scariest thing of all.I don't even know why I am not dead yet. I was brought here to dead, right? So, why am I getting asked about my state and served dinner as if I came here by my will as a guest?This is complicated and the questions in my head are getting tangled with each other creating a headache. My head feels like someone is poking needles from inside my skull.I laid down in the same corner I was sitting in and closed my eyes in an attempt to sleep and forget about everything that is happening in a hope to wake up with everything back to alright and it being nothing more than a nightmare."Your dinner is here." Were the last words I heard before my eyes drifted off to another place of it's own and nothing from the surroundings could be heard, anymore.The devil does not come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you've ever wished for. - Tucker Max. |L O R E N Z O|Everyone enjoys different things, different genre, different music, I enjoy watching people bleed when their face show the terror I made them feel. It gives me power. It assures me that I am the one with power and not the other way. I have never craved anything in my life like I live for power. And, the screams of the man who tried to mess with me sounds like the most soothing music right now. Aleeza is sleeping in her room peacefully while I on the other hand am taking a walk in my basement to see the suffering of people I caused at midnight. My feets came to a halt when my eyes fell on the woman lying down on the floor with her knees brought up to her chest. I recognized her from the night when she witnessed me murdering a 21 year old boy. He was an asshole. A fucking asshole who was taking pleas
And, all of a sudden she felt really tired. Like the world has drained her for everything that she had. -Unknown. |I R I S|The night passed quickly and surprisingly enough, I found myself covered with a blanket in the morning when I woke up. There was no one else that came to my mind other than Rowan who could have done that. Because, of course, the people here aren't saint who provides blanket and food to the people they have kidnapped. I am starting to think that maybe Rowan isn't as bad as thought of him to be. But it's only been one day and the image of their friend killing a boy of my class is imprinted in my mind which makes it hard to believe anyone associated with him. His heart didn't melted when the boy was begging him. He didn't even flinched when he shot him in the head and he didn't hesitated when he pointed the gun at me to kill me. "I can't believe him." I heard a feminine voice that echoed through the hall of the basement before it reached me. Is she another pr
Our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. -Edgar Allan Poe.|L O R E N Z O|"What on Earth do you think you brought her here for?" I called from behind and all three of their heads turned towards me. Aleeza looked furious when met my eyes and Rowan looked like he would support her in everything right now. Lucas couldn't care less about the matter right now as he ignored everyone. My eyes stopped when they met her violet ones. Her eyes widened in terror and I noticed how she deliberately but quickly took steps back. I couldn't help the smirk that overtook my face when I realised the terror I fill people with just by my presence. "What on Earth was she in basement for?" Aleeza seethed and the way her eyes were shooting daggers in my direction and the way her jaw is clenched, I am pretty sure she is furious right now. "To die," I answered simply as I made my way towards them. "Shut up, Lorenzo." Aleeza warne
Why do we cling to what we loose while we ignore what we still hold? -Steven Erikson. |I R I S|"Don't be scared. You're safe now." Rowan reassured and I was starting to believe at these two. "Yup." Aleeza said popping the 'p' as she settled the tray of snacks on the bed in front of me. I am really hungry. I have barely ate anything from last two days. Even the food Rowan brought me last night didn't do anything for my lost appetite. But now when I have some hope that I could be safe. Like, maybe, just maybe, I can live. I am suddenly starving. "This is your room." Aleeza informed me when I took one snack from the tray and put it in my mouth enjoying the crunchy taste on my tongue. I closed mt eyes and devoured the taste of the delicious food. "Thank you." I thanked her with a genuine smile on my lips. I don't remember the last time I smiled with all those chaos going on in my life. Aleeza returned my smile and I turned my head to Rowan, "Th
He was a man of black and white. And, she was color. All the color he had. -Fredrick Backman. |L O R E N Z O|My eyes fluttered open in the morning when I saw that the sun has already rose. Groaning, I got up from the warm embrace of my bedsheet, stretching my body. I ran a lazy hand through my messy blond hairs. Sliding the curtain to one side, I took in the sunrays that tried to reach me through the glass window. My eyes feel down on Aleeza and the little cat who were sitting in the garden, talking like two lost friends. Aleeza did the most of talking Iris only gave her small smile in return every now and then. "Admiring the view?" Lucas spoke and I found him standing beside me. I don't even know when he came here. His eyes focused on the girls sitting in the garden. "Nothing to admire, Lucas." I said turning around from the window and throwing a t-shirt over my head, covering my naked upper body. "Come on, she is so fucking gorgeous." Lucas
What a marvellous feeling it would be, if we could say exactly how we felt. What a monumental victory. What a terrifying thought. -Akif Kichloo|I R I S|Two days have passed in the blink of an eye with these two persons always around me. At this point, I think they are more scared for me than I am. Even after four days of being here I haven't checked the whole mansion, which I desperately want to do because this is just how beautiful it is. "Wanna hear a joke?" Rowan asked from the wooden floor in the room he was laid down on. "Not really." Aleeza said, quickly. In these four days I've realised that whenever Rowan says there's a joke it will never be funny. Never. "Pleaseeeeeee." He whined looking at us with his puppy eyes. Aleeza and I looked at each other. We rolled our eyes before saying, "Fine, go ahead." We said in unison.Rowan now took the criss cross sitting position on the floor, actively. "Knock Knock." Rowan started, excitedly.
There is something so fucking magical about her smile. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|"Food," She replied to my question without looking at me. She sounded annoyed? The way she has been walking in this mansion since last four days and giving her angelic smile to Rowan and Aleeza made me want to throw her out of my damn mansion or leave myself. Because that melodic laugh of hers always sent a weird sensation in my body, the one I am not familiar with. I didn't even realised when my feets started walking on their own and stopped just behind her body. I towered her 5 foot 5 inches figure with my tall one. She tilted her head upwards and those big violet eyes looked up at me with the same fucking innocence in them. "Careful with your attitude, little cat." I warned not taking my eyes off her face. Her eyes flickered down before coming back to meet mine, again. Resting my one hand on the kitchen counter behind her, I leaned down and I felt her
Because there is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away. - Sarah Kay. |I R I S|Aleeza is living three days later. Yes the most she extended her visit is for one day. So, I am left with three days to spend with her. Strangely, I don't feel scared among these people anymore, except him. Because he always have this dark look in his eyes that he gives me as if he wants me to be scared of him. Like, that's the only thing he wants. Even Mason doesn't give me that scary look and scowl anymore since I've made pancakes for me. I am glad everyone liked them. "Guys, it's 3 in the morning." Mason whined in sleepy voice, rubbing his eyes with the back og his hands. "Don't ruin it, Mason!" Aleeza complained as she tried to make him stay till the end of the third movie we are watching right now. It's just the four of us. Lucas, Mason, Rowan and me. For the first t
