She awoke to find herself in darkness. Panic rose over her. Chills ran down her spine. “Where have I landed myself? What place is this?” she wondered. Then visions zoomed past in her head. She was struck on the head by someone. She placed her hand on her scalp and felt the hot blood oozing out and at that exact time, a sharp pain hit her on her head. She was too weak. She could not support herself. She was tired.
Before she knew it, she felt someone’s hand on her back. “Don’t be scared. Listen to me and nothing will go wrong.” He cooed. Slowly he slid his hand into her T-shirt. She let out a ear- piercing scream and pushed him off. Fear was overpowering her. She slowly scrambled to her feet. She was feeling a bit dizzy and her vision was blurred.
Once again, he lunged onto her and pulled her to the ground. “No! Let me go!” she screamed. He tried pulling her clothes off once again. She felt around for something sharp and when she found it, using as much force as possible, she plunged it onto his back. Shrieking, he let her off. She got up and ran. It was dark and she did not know where she was going.
Scrambling against the walls, she found for the door and she opened it and ran out. What she saw outside stunned her. She was surrounded by a forest. Panic rising, she ran and ran and she reached a dead end. Another shock hit her head. She was in an island surrounded by water.
Kidnapped!!!
That’s what had happened to her. ‘But why? Why me?’ So many questions were running through her head. That was when she heard footsteps. They were slowly moving towards her. Then, from behind, he grabbed her and pulled her into the forest. He was dragging her on the ground. She hit tree trunks and rolled on the grass, but his grip on her did not loosen.
He pulled her into the house. “Why?” she screamed. He gave her a horrifying laugh. Then, he said, “Why?... You’re asking me why? Well, it was thanks to your father that I lost my family. He killed my mother and father. Not forgetting leaving my mother’s head outside my house. What cheek did he have? Well, let him suffer like how I am now.”
An hour later, all was over. A load of struggles and all, and she had rammed a knife onto his stomach and pulled it upwards such that it cut through his whole body. Blood was dripping all over the place. She walked about weakly. Then, she walked and walked till she reached the shore.
Taking out her wallet, she took a look at the photo of her brother and sister. She could not help, but to feel hatred for her father. Glancing at them for the last time, she continued walking. As she walked and walked memories were sweeping past her.
She had never had mother’s love. She continued walking. Her boyfriend had dumped her. Her pace quickened. Her first love, her dog, Randy who had passed away. She paused a bit and continued on. Her best friend jumping off a cliff, leaving her all alone. Tears started rolling. Life had never had mercy on her. It had been punishing her from the start. The water was at her chest.
Being abused by her uncle and getting laughed at by classmates. Her mind was whirring. Why was she the only unlucky girl? Why did everything have to happen to her? The water was above her head.
‘Sorry Mark. Sorry Angeline’ she thought as she struggled in the water. She started splashing about. Air, she needed some air. It was hurting. Pain, from inside and outside. Pain beyond any.
A minute later, she saw her body floating on the top of the water, and slowly, it disappeared. It was like as if she was free from all pain and hurts. She felt free. Happily, she closed her eyes and disappeared.
