Novel & Cerita Cry Of The Unheard

The very act tore my heart in two, but it seemed like my only way out of this harrowing nightmare. "Please forgive me, Clyde. Please forgive me," I pleaded, my voice cracking with the anguish of my impossible decision. I glanced at Clyde, desperation etched on his face, his tear-streaked eyes pleading for mercy. “No, just listen to me onc-“ Before Clyde could finish his plea, an ear-splitting explosion rent the air, shattering the peace of the graveyard. The force of the blast rattled the ground beneath my feet, and a sense of utter horror gripped my soul. The deafening noise echoed through the tombstones, tearing apart the stillness of the night.

ADRIAN’S POV We sat closer now, not miles apart but near enough that our hands rested on the couch between us. Still holding on. Reeves pressed play, and the recording resumed. Hours of audio stretched ahead like a sentence we had to serve together. Alexei's voice explained the trafficking operation with businessman efficiency. The sound of workers processing cargo—footsteps, the beep of scanners, voices calling out numbers. The background noise of the warehouse—fans, distant traffic, the hum of fluorescent lights. And underneath it all, barely audible, the sound of women crying. Soft. Terrified. Helpless.

Claudine's eyes met Mary's, sharing a moment of profound sorrow. Denzel wrapped his arm around Claudine, holding her close. As Mary's words faded, the air seemed to vibrate with unspoken grief. Suddenly, Claudine's head tilted back, and a mournful howl erupted from her throat. Denzel joined, his voice blending with hers. Kris, Jacob, Ronald, and the others followed, their howls weaving together in a haunting tapestry of sorrow. Mary added her voice, a soft, melancholic wail. The forest echoed with their collective lament, a chilling, beautiful dirge that conveyed the depth of their loss.

"No! Please!" She roused from the pillow with an audible whimper, feeling her heart pound so wildly within her chest as she held herself like a scared little child and cried her heart out after that horrifying night terror, feeling cold shivers crawl all over her dampened skin as that truly macabre image of herself being buried alive and those desperate wails of hers still rang into her mind like an ominous echo. ..."No! Please!"... She sobbed as she held her knees close to her heaving chest, only now noticing she was still dressed into her white top and jeans from yesterday as her tears fell over the dark fabric.

Mine. And I stood in the midst of it, in the midst of their practice symphony. The sound of clashing blades reverberated through the streets, raw and piercing, folding amongst shouts of authority and commands—a steady drug of boots against cobbled stone. It spread through the air, dense and electric, a drumbeat in my blood. This wasn’t just noise. This was power sharpening itself. It was everything we had gone through — the betrayals, the humiliation, the years of being pushed to the side — transformed into something larger than life, something with unstoppable force.

To humiliate my parents, he chopped off my limbs and had someone violate me. When I was barely hanging on, they thought it'd be fun to call Nathan on my phone and said I could beg for help. As the phone buzzed, the agonizing and severe bleeding pulled my consciousness in and out. When the call was finally picked up, Nathan's annoyed voice came through. "What now?" I forced my bloody mouth open and called out, "Nathan, help…"

The sound tore through the summit, not like thunder or explosion, but like memory cracking under the weight of truth too long buried.It was not an echo.-It was inward, through bone and blood and breath, a scream that had never been heard and had always been felt, transmitted through the generations as though a kind of marrow-born legacy. Kaela faltered to an only knee, and her blades fell to the ground and the ringing of her ears was like a voice that had no place in this world, not that it is unfamiliar, but that it had been familiar and been snatched away.

The kind that only comes from someone who knows he’s about to die and still has hope he might not. But Dante’s out there. That hope is fucking useless. But the sounds won’t stop. There’s a sharp, wet sound next. Like someone throwing a raw steak on the ground—only heavier. Thicker. Then the crunch. Fuck, that crunch. It’s not a sound bones are supposed to make. Not like that. It sounds like someone stepping on a bag of chips filled with marrow and regret. The cracking. The muffled gurgles. The yelling. Then begging.

His fist delivered words he couldn’t find. My vision blurred, and a ringing sound filled my ears. I tried to free myself—to fight back—but the ropes didn’t permit me—holding me like a prisoner. And when the pain became unbearable, laughter erupted from deep within me. A harsh guttural that echoed off the walls. The walls had heard my cries and laughter many times, but this sound—so raw and jagged, uncontrollable, and bitter—never had it heard.

If I had stayed on the farm, none of this would have happened. Now, here I was, locked in a dark dungeon, in an unknown world, feeling utterly alone and defeated. The cold, stone walls seemed to close in on me, making the despair even more overwhelming. I wrapped my arms around my knees, feeling the chill seep through my jeans. Every sob felt like it echoed off the walls, making it sound even louder.
