Chapter 11
I am not a shadow of your past.
......
The wailing sound ringing on my ears was telling to just give up, to stop fighting.
The woman was taking her time dragging me by my two feet to the center of the arena. I was not giving her any fight, it was useless after all and a waste of time. I felt numb of all humanly emotions, pain was the only thing inside me.
I wanted to cry desperately but there were no tears to spare. How it could have been that way, it was far from how I thought it would be. I was supposed to win from her, she had a shitty weapon! Yet she was the one reigning on me. I was helpless and for the first time, I wanted to give up, to die, because suddenly everything was too much and there was no solution in sight. I had lost all the hope left within my being.
I welcomed the darkness that was slowly taking m

I'll get you out of here......Knowing nothing about the whole truth doesn't mean I don't know anything. I knew they were keeping secret from me. But silence is so much better than telling series of lies. Sometimes being in the shadow rather than burning in the sun is more acceptable. One way or another the truth will come out. All I need to do was to be patient. But I was born stubborn needing to ask all the questions in the world."What if everything went wrong? What would happen to me? Am I digging a grave for myself?" I asked the salesman.He only smiled patting my shoulder. It was the first time they sent me the same man. It hasn't been a month since my last talk with him and there he was. I preferred him over the others anyway.The Salesman never sweet talked me about the thing they wanted me to do, he always had hi

That's a dangerous game you're playing there Red.......Promises left undone were promises meant to hurt you."I promise, I'll do anything to get you out of here," Nick whispered as he leaned once more to take my lips in his. "Believe me please, you have to Jodi." I smiled through our tangled lips.His words were full of conviction that I didn't know for sure where he was getting it. He wanted to do something unthinkable just because of his testosterone imbalance. I might say it was absurd but I was starting to believe him. There was a tiny sliver of light inside me that was making me gamble all my trust on him.I didn't know what the future holds but there was one thing I was certain in that exact moment, that Nick would be on my side and I longed for him to be on my side.My body quivered at his every touch at his every caress

Tired, but she'll survive yet another day.......People often obsess with things they can't have that they don't stop for a second to think if they truly need it. Sometimes not getting what we want may result in wonderful stroke of luck."No!" I jolted backward over the side of the arena as the bullet barrelled out from the gun in my shaky hands. It seemed that getting what you want wasn't as exciting as it used to be when you were just wishing to get it.I was lucky enough to win myself a 45 caliber pistol. Though it wasn't a reason for celebration at all, I wouldn't jump for joy, the damn thing didn't come with a stupid manual. The television didn't help at all for making it look so easy.It wasn't easy at all! Firing a gun never stops by just pulling its trigger. There were more to it that one should

The Sergeant wants to see her.......I stopped running, it was too hot for extracurricular activities anyway. I sat on the green grass tilting my body so I could look directly on the shining yellow sun. The rays was too bright that it was slowly blinding my eyesight but I refused to close my eyes. It was a battle between the two of us; the king and the human. However after a few minutes my eyes started to hurt thus I averted them in defeat. I bent down connecting my two hands with each of my knees, I burry my head between my legs and closed my eyes, red covered my eyelids. It was the same color of my curly hair.I inhaled deeply. The wind blew hitting my sweat covered body making me shudder. I hated the morning runs, I could take that time for extra sleep but the salesman was a Nazi about it. What was the use of running anyway? I couldn't even remember th

What do you even want from me?......I wanted to cry. I wanted to have the strength to fight but I was weak. The fever had a great toll on my body and it wasn't just that but also my previous fights. Walking was already hard let alone struggle away from the tight grip. The guards were not making any room for me to move, their fingers were almost digging to my skin.I surrendered the idea. I focused my head elsewhere, we were walking on dingy path for too long but we hadn't stop. The trails were also new, I had no clue there were such elaborate paths in that place, if I was walking alone I would been lost. I didn't know how long it had been since I came in the underground, it could have been a month or two, it could even be a year already, I lost track of time along the way. It had been long but I still couldn't memorize its corners.I was getting tired of the wa

Make me.......If it was easy, anyone could have done it.All I have to do is get a freaking bottle of water. Water. Bottle. Water bottle. Bottle of water. I kept repeating and jumbling the words inside my head, my heart was starting to race like a rabid horse. My hands felt like an open faucet and I was going disorientated from nervousness. How could I possibly do it?I pushed open the glass door and walked in through the tiled floor of the convenient store. I stopped for a while, squinting my eyes to adjust with the lighting. I am just a normal customer, so don't mind me, I thought smiling to the boy arranging the boxes of cereals.I continued walking through the isle and further down to the fridge that contain the precious bottle of water. It was on the corner near the cash register, it was too close

Be the good fox, they want you to be.......They said if you want to eliminate fear then do it everyday. But it wasn't entirely true in my situation because the more I see blood the more I fear it. And the horrors just become more real as time goes on."Don't please! No...NO!" I shouted to the twins' looming forms. I couldn't run, my feet felt like blocks of heavy cement. No amount of shouting could make them move. There was nothing I could do.I was trapped!I glanced back and forth between the door I entered in and the approaching twins, finding a way to escape but sadly there was none. They caged me like a rabid animal with two hungry lions as guards. It would be not long till I get eaten.The wide spaced room was getting smaller as they approached me. I kept wishing for the walls, the floor, the ceiling or a

You're loving the wrong version of the girl that I become. ......I looked straight in the eyes of my opponent, two golden yellow gems stared back at me. We were both waiting for the first one to attack, analyzing each other's movements. I stood tall not losing eye contacts, making her see that I was the dominant one.With a step on my right, an ear piercing growl escaped shattering my ears. I swallowed down a stubborn lump on my throat that wouldn't go away. I kept my stance showing no fear for I knew she could smell it, like a perfume that lingers in the air. Fighting a human with or without weapon was something but fighting a rabid hungry lion with bare hands was another thing.It was an obnoxious thing but it wasn't for them.I run desperately for my life. The lewd cheering of the audience were making me anxious. I co
