Submission novel Chapter 35

The dark sky gurgled a huge clash of thunder while the angry clouds seethed and drowned the whole world in its rage-fueled stream of downpour. There was no ground, only the muddy substitute which threatened to swallow in anything that steps on it. I wondered how the thorny, leafless trees were holding themselves upright through this damnation. Strong gusts of wind blew all over the surface of the earth and swayed the thorns and spiky bushes as if they were possessed by something evil. 

This was hell incarnate.

Another clash of thunder raged throughout the sky and deafened my ears. The blue sundress I was wearing was torn and tattered with my skin sporting uncountable scars. The wrathful rain blurred my vision to nothingness as I gasped for the very existence of my life. My raven hair was pitch dark with tiny droplets of water falling off from the ends. I stood there, watching those droplets while my mind tried to decode this impossible puzzle.

How did I get here?

I wouldn't have minded much, standings there, in the rain, but something definitely didn't feel right. A sudden soft breeze crashed into me and I heard a very faint whisper of a very familiar voice.

Roza.

My whole being was electrocuted with that single word. A cold bucket of water was splashed onto me as I came into realization. I should run.

My feet started running on their own will, a desperate measure was taken by them so that I could escape. It wasn't a whisper this time but a loud growl of laughter that mocked me and my actions.

You can't escape Rosa.

You can't leave.

You are stuck here Rosa

Forever and ever with me.

My mind was going insane. I felt him digging a hole deep inside my head and settling himself in. No matter where I went, I could hear his voice in my head, feel his breath on my neck and see nothing.

My knees clamped down on the mud with small thorns digging onto my skin. The strangled cries that escaped my lips broke my heart into infinite pieces. I closed my eyes and gave up while he laughed at his victory.

I submitted.

*******

It was one of those mornings I guess, where nothing feels right. The moment you open your eyes, you feel like doing nothing, absolutely nothing. My case was exactly the same but the difference was that nothing actually was right and even if I wanted to, I couldn't do anything. With my hands tied down at the back of the chair, there was nothing I could do and with my brother staring right at me like a hawk, it made me realize that everything happening with me isn't right.

"I thought you'll never wake up but it was indeed a pleasure to look at you, being chased by nightmares in your dreams. I missed your screams so much, little sister. How could you leave me?" His fake attempt at looking hurt made it all the more ridiculous to me. I wanted to slap him but I decided to give him the sweet taste of ignorance.
