Trapped In Silence

Sinopsis: Si Mariecon Guerrero ay isang aspiring writer na ginugugol ang kanyang mga araw sa pagtatrabaho sa isang bookstore at ang kanyang mga gabi sa pagsusulat ng mga kwentong puno ng matinding pag-ibig—mga kwentong kailanman ay hindi niya inakalang mangyayari sa kanya. Ngunit isang kasunduang kasal na orihinal na para sa kanyang pinsan ang aksidenteng napunta sa kanya, kaya’t hindi inaasahan, natagpuan niya ang sarili niyang kasal kay Hydeo Ridge Dela Fuerte—isang makapangyarihan ngunit malamig at walang pusong negosyante. Kailangan ni Hydeo ng isang asawa upang masigurado ang isang napakalaking business deal, at ang dapat sana niyang mapapangasawa ay ang glamorosang pinsan ni Mariecon na si Madeline. Ngunit dahil sa isang pagkakamali sa mga papeles, si Mariecon ang napirmang asawa sa courthouse wedding. Nang matuklasan ang pagkakamali, labis ang gulat niya nang tumanggi si Hydeo na ipa-annul ang kasal—para sa mga dahilan na hindi niya gustong ipaliwanag. Ngayon, natagpuan ni Mariecon ang sarili niyang nakakulong sa isang malamig at kalkuladong kasunduan sa isang lalaking hindi nagbubukas ng kanyang puso. Ngunit habang sinusubukan niyang alamin ang katotohanan sa likod ng kasal na ito, unti-unting nagbabago ang kanilang relasyon. Ang kasal na nagsimula sa obligasyon ay nauwi sa matitinding banggaan ng kalooban, mga lihim na sandali, at isang damdaming hindi nila maitatanggi.

Ma demi-sœur m’a accusée à tort d’être responsable de ses allergies, et, dans un accès de rage, mes trois frères m’ont enfermée dans une cave exiguë, sans lumière ni air. Ils ont même enchaîné la porte. J’ai frappé la porte de la cave, suppliant de toutes mes forces qu’on me laisse sortir. Alors que le frère aîné, un homme d’affaires d’élite, s’apprêtait à partir, une froide colère se lisait sur son visage : « Tu as l’habitude de maltraiter Zoé dans de petites histoires, mais je n’ai pas l’intention de t’embêter pour ça. Cette fois, tu savais que Zoé était allergique aux fruits de mer, et malgré cela, tu l’as laissée en manger. N’est-ce pas là une malveillance délibérée ? Tu ferais bien de réfléchir à ce que tu as fait ! » Le deuxième frère, récemment couronné Roi des Chants, et le troisième, un peintre talentueux, ont grogné : « Une personne aussi perfide que toi, qui trouve toujours des excuses, tu vas rester là-dedans, et que cela te serve de leçon ! » Après avoir dit ces mots, ils ont pris ma demi-sœur, tremblante, dans leurs bras et se sont précipités à l’hôpital. Peu à peu, l’air dans la cave se raréfiait. Chaque respiration devenait un combat. La suffocation m’a envahie, et bientôt, tout ce que j’avais ressenti s’est transformé en un calme absolu. Je suis morte, seule, dans cet espace clos. Trois jours plus tard, lorsqu’ils sont revenus de l’hôpital avec ma demi-sœur, ils se sont souvenus enfin de moi. Mais ils ont ignoré que, dans l’obscurité de cette cave étouffante, j’avais déjà succombé au manque d’oxygène.

"What's that?" I whispered to myself as I felt something moved very fast behind me. It was very dark at night and a dim-lighted lamp was the only source of light I had to see my way home! "Oh my God!! What could that be?" I whispered to myself again as it moved again, this time, I felt it getting closer to me. Suddenly, I heard a soft whisper close to my left ear "she's back and will spare no one". It was as if what was chasing me was right before my face but yet, I couldn't see it, I could only perceive the smell of warm human blood! ****** On her 18th birthday, Katerina Bathas expected a miracle.

My father is the First Warrior of the Moonflash pack. He often takes me to all kinds of banquets, and I always look forward to them. Today, he brings me to a banquet hosted by Judy. I take a bite of raw meat on my plate and immediately spit it out. I once ate raw meat when I was younger, and my stomach hurt for several days. I nearly died. The healer later told me that I'm allergic to the protein in raw meat, and that experience left a lasting impression on me. Judy looks hurt when she sees my reaction. "I went to the forest myself to catch that reindeer," she says. "I killed it just this morning. I didn't cook it so that I wouldn't ruin its freshness. I didn't expect Ray would turn her nose up at it." Dad is angry about how rude I am, so he chases me out of the banquet and locks me up in a cramped lounge. The lounge is hot and stuffy, and I soon start finding it hard to breathe. A sharp pain twists in my stomach like a knife. I want to find Dad, but no matter how much I bang on the door, he refuses to open it. Through the window, I can see Dad and Judy standing in the center of the hall. They're conversing happily, but no one even looks in my direction. I'm suffocating, so I lie on the floor. I want to shout for Dad, but I can't make a sound no matter how hard I try. Then, I realize that I'm standing up and can walk through the door. But why is my body still lying on the floor? That's when it hits me. I'm dead.
