CHAP 2

Amira's Point Of View

I WOKE UP because of the sunlight coming through the window. I was disappointed because I thought it was all just a dream. I thought that when I woke up things would be back to normal, but they weren't.

I looked at my wrists because they were still sore. It's red, there's dried blood, and there are wounds. I can't help but to feel sorry for myself because of what I'm going through right now. I'm having a hard time. It seems like any moment my body will give up because of the bad things that I'm facing.

I stopped looking at my wound when I suddenly felt my stomach churning due to hunger. It's my second day here but I haven't eaten yet. I know I'm the only one to blame because I don't accept the food he gives me.

When I heard I heard and saw the doorknob move, I immediately retreated and covered my whole body with the blanket. I weren't wrong. The monster man spat out from the door carrying a plate containing bacon, eggs, hotdogs and fried rice. I felt my stomach churn even more when I saw and smelled what he cooked.

"Eat," he said after placing the plate on my hard bed.

I wet my lower lip using my tongue because I'm tempted to eat the foods in front of me. I slowly took the spoon and fork then took a bite of the rice and dish. I just let him watch me eat without minding his thoughts towards me.

When I finished eating the food, I immediately drank the water and finished it. "Thank you," I said after I arranged the plate and cutlery.

“I only have one rule; never disobey me.” He said seriously then bent down and ruffled my hair slightly before taking my plate.

When he closed the door, I immediately stood up and peeked out the window. That's how surprised I was when I saw all the trees around.

What kind of place is this?

I peeked through the other window and saw the same thing. The surroundings are full of trees, grass, plants and even butterflies.

My heart beat faster. My whole body trembled. I thought back from what happened the other night. Maybe no one really heard me scream that night because we were in a forest.

I covered my face with my hands then let out a cry of annoyance as I gently twist  my hair.

At the same time, my tears fell because of the frustration I was feeling. I quickly went to the door and slammed it. The strange monster man immediately opened it causing him to slap me hard.

"Let me go, you monster!" I shouted in anger.

"How dare you!" He said and grabbed me by my hair then dragged me inside the room.

My head hurts so much. He was currently holding me by my hair as he pulled me into the room. I cried and held his hand so that somehow my weight would be on him in order for me somehow not to feel very painful.

When he let go of my hair, he then punched my stomach, something that made me squirm because of the pain.

"I already told you. You obey me and you will not be hurt," he said then grabbed me by my jaw.

"Do you understand?" He uttered. I remained silent and didn't bother to say any word.

"Do you understand?!" There is an emphasis on every word he said as he gripped my jaw tightly.

I slowly nodded and spoke, "I-I understand," I almost stuttered because of crying so much.

He immediately released me and pushed me on my hard bed. My whole head ached and I weakly covered my mouth with both hands. When he got out of the room, all I did was cry until I didn't realize that I fell asleep.

I jumped up in shock when I heard the door opened which caused me to hug my body because I was afraid that he would punch me in the stomach again.

"Clean yourself and get dressed up," he said and gave me the clothes to wear so I could use them quickly.

He immediately left the room, giving me the opportunity to enter the CR inside this room where I was locked up. When I finished doing what I had to do, I lay down on my hard bed and hugged the pillow while crying.

I just want a comfortable life. But why does the world make me feel like this? Why do I feel and experience only pain and sufferings?

I came back to my senses when the man who kidnapped me entered my room and guided me outside. I cried and opened my eyes and sobbed as I follow wherever he wanted me to go.

I was just surprised when he presented me to a room that I didn't know what was inside. I was shaking with fear and my heartbeat was so strong that I took a deep breath.

"W-what are you going to do with me?" I asked whilea crying.

He looked at me using his poker face before he spoke, "Your new room. Feel at home," he said and left me.

I immediately went inside and smiled. I don't know why he is doing this to me when it is not my fault why his brother died. I do not know! It was a big mistake for him to lock me up here because I am the one suffering from the mistake made by others.

I tried to run away several times but no matter how far I got, he still finds me. He seems to have memorized the twists and turns of this jungle and I have no choice but to surrender myself freely to him because no matter how much I try to escape, I am not succeeding.

"I'm a mess." I said and laughed hysterically when I saw my whole body in a big mirror.

Maybe this is my destiny. To suffer and live full of wounds and bruises all over my body.
