3 PmNavidI was walking towards the activities room, when a man called me. I look at him, I see that it's Damião. Elea scene for me, calling me. I turn around and go to him. He wanted to touch me but I moved away, it was a self”reflex, it was no longer enough for Nancy to touch me. I didn't want to be intimate with anyone. Seelord Damião smiled.“ My son, my poor boy…“ What do you want? “ I asked impatiently“ People only go to the underworld of their own free will, for two reasons: when it is to escape or for love… Which two were they? “ He asked, reading my eyes.“ Both. “ He said.He grabbed my wrist and pulled me. “ Come here, you remind me of me when I was young.I went with him to his room. He let go of my hand and walked to a table with drawers. He opened the drawer and took out a paper.“ Do you see this door?I nodded my head, looking at the drawing. There was no door, it was just a design of gray bricks one on top of the other.“ It's the door to freedom! Take it...“ What
LucasIn these three days I never saw a man change by giving! Navid didn't talk to anyone, he just walked around the hospital and activity areas. His routine was the same as always, breakfast, activity area and his room, but he didn't talk to anyone. He was able to be in his room looking at his drawings. He knew he was up to something, because my brother Mike had told me that something serious had happened. The hospital increased security, looking more like a prison than a place of healing, I feared everything that was inside, but above all I feared what was to come. Something told me that something serious was going to happen, I always had a good sixth sense. Navid sometimes walked like the walking dead.I saw how much the nurses cared, he was able to get attention that many couldn't, but for me this was nothing more than manipulation. As if he wanted to appear crazy, appear disturbed and surrender to the rules of this place, so few suspected his abilities, what he was capable of, bu
NancyEarly tomorrow, I'm in the hospital. He hadn't come for two days, as he had business to attend to. I barely arrive and I already see the worried employees' faces. One of the nurses approaches me.“ Where is Charles?"“ Yesterday something horrible happened!"“ What ?"Soon after, a security guard approached me, Roger. He motioned for the nurse to move away and she did.“ Our companion Charles, unfortunately, is no longer with us!“ Like this?"“ Someone killed him, and I already know who it was! Your little love!"I took a deep breath, not believing it.“ It's all your fault! You spared him… he was supposed to die."“ Where is he?"“ It disappeared! Do you believe it?"“ It's not possible, where would he have gone? He's not out of this hospital!” the quickest way possible, to Marlon's room, not believing that he was gone. I enter the room and look around, I feel an emptiness inside me, seeing that it's not here. I look at the wall, seeing his drawings and notice that there are t
SashaI look at the door and see the lock moving, as if someone was trying to open it. Next to the lock there was an iron drilled into the wall, which was similar to the lock. The room was old, so there was a display of some tools that were used in the past. The door was locked from the inside, as I took the sheet from the bed and passed it through the lock and the iron next to it, making a knot and thus preventing anyone from entering. Marlon had taught me how to do it.“ Open the door! “ I hear a male voice shouting, it was one of the hospital security guards and the voice of Sebastian, the man who always tormented me. I remembered Marlon's words, “Don't open it for anything, don't say anything and nothing will happen to you" and so I did, but I knew it wouldn't last long. Because the room was old, as was the lock.“ Sasha, I know you're there! There's no point in running away... “ Sebastian shouts and then there's a huge noise, as if someone was trying to break down the door. I con
SashaLeo holds me and helps me walk down the hall, the alarm goes off. This happened whenever one of the patients became rebellious and was destabilizing the hospital. In this case, Marlon was the reason they turned on the alarm. The patients panic and start walking around the corridor like crazy, until we can barely walk. From afar I hear a noise and look back, it was Nancy. She had shot a patient, who ended up falling to the floor. Unhappy and unhappy, who made our lives hell.“ Go fast! “ Léo helps me walk as quickly as I could, the patients became more agitated and horrified. I quickened my steps until we entered a corridor and Leo fell to the floor. I look at him scared, seeing him lying down and bleeding, he had been shot. I grabbed him, trying to get him to stand, but he couldn't and pushed me away.“ Run away, run away Sasha!“ No, I won't leave you here! Let's go! “ I say trying to help him stand, but he pushes me once again.“ It's not me she wants! And you…. Run away, I'll

MarlonIt was barely dawn and he went for a run, in a park close to home. I run as much as I can, not only to stay in shape but because the memories come back to me. That psychiatric hospital, that place, those people, my wife…. I….Everyone asked how Sasha was? If she had recovered, but no one asked me how I was. I didn't even ask myself that question, perhaps because I spoke about it once and only once about what happened in the hospital on the day of the trial. I only spoke so that she could be released. All the hospital's patients were transferred to another worthy psychiatric hospital, without torture, I know because I made sure of that. I was the most annoying and demanding police officer on the team when I went to check the conditions at the other hospital, I did it not only for Sasha, but for the patients, for my friends, for Leo.Leo died, trying to save my wife, in his name I made sure that his brother was arrested for his crime. Leo was always innocent, he spent his entire
Days later“ So, tell me about yourselves! “ Says psychologist Renata.After Sasha insisted so much, I agreed to go to the appointment, it was a way to make her less upset with me for not telling her about Nancy's escape.Sasha told me a little about her new life, she was able to open up more, already used to having to tell someone professional something intimate, but not me. Because of my profession, I learned that not everything should be said or told, as it can turn against you, making me not trust everyone.“ So Marlon, tell us a little about yourself! “ Said Renata. “ from what I see, it went through a lot of ups and downs.I was silent. Sasha looked at me and held my hand.“ My wife said practically everything about our lives! “ She said.“ But and you?“ I don't have to say...” He said.“ Marlon… Please! “ Said Sasha.“ You spent a month in that hospital, being tortured. There's no way not to know it was in all the newspapers, the police officer who served as a spy and saved ma
EpilogueMarlonI get home and see Sasha sitting on the couch with a paper in her hand, she looked nervous and scared.“ Sasha…She looked at me and approached me, giving me a big hug. I returned the hug and gave him a kiss on the shoulder.“ What it was?She looked at me.“ I'm Pregnant!I couldn't contain myself with the news and I gave him a kiss, pressing his body against mine.“ Are you happy? “ She asked me distressed.“ Of course I am, aren't you?“ What if our son or daughter, be a…I put my finger on her lips, shutting her up, before she said anything stupid.“ He will be perfect, be beautiful, healthy and have lots of love…“ If you are like me?“ It will be even more perfect!She showed a smile and nodded. That smile was everything to me.“ I love you.” He declared.I took his mouth, plunging my hands into his hair. Our kiss was strong and intense, we could barely breathe. In one movement I took her into my arms, placing my torso between her legs. I walked to the stairs, bu
MarlonNancy once again left a plate of food and left. He treated me like those animals that carried out tests in the laboratory. She fed me, but tortured me, taking away my strength so I couldn't escape. He kept me alive to torture me. I had no idea of time or the day I was here, but it seemed like an eternity. I sit inside the cage, hugging my arms around my legs and resting my head on my knee, trying to maintain my sanity. At that moment I hear a noise, footsteps approaching me and a familiar smell. I look and I can't believe who I see in front of me. She, the woman who wanted to open my eyes so many times but I didn't listen, the woman who even though I doubted her, she came to me.“ Sasha! “ He said in surprise.She held the railing.“ Wow, what did they do to you Marlon?” Her eyes shone and she looked distressed.“ You have to get out of here! She's crazy, get out of here!” I said.“ No, without you...“ Go Sasha!“ No!She takes a hairpin out of her hair and tries to open the
SashaI wake up and get scared seeing Júnior in front of me, watching me. He looked distressed and furious at the same time. I faced him, lying on my back, waiting for him to say something.“ Have you spoken to my brother?I didn't respond and continued staring at him.“ Responds!“ No.“ Do you know where he is?“ How would I know, he is no longer my husband.Junior took a deep breath and rubbed his head.“ Why do you ask me about Marlon?“ Because I find it strange that he disappeared, on the same day that he left you! I find it very strange.“ How did it disappear? “ my heart accelerated, I didn’t understand what happened.“ I suspect he was kidnapped! He has been incommunicado for three days.“ What?“ And I suspect someone is involved in this! “ He looked at me seriously.“ Do you think I have something to do…“ just the day he separates from you he is kidnapped!“ I would never hurt him...“ Really? The scar he has on his abdomen, who made it?I looked away, how could he think s
SashaThe day passed and it seemed like an endless time, I felt lifeless, as if everything was black and white. I missed my home, Marlon... without him it felt like something was missing from me. I sit on the bed and pick up a book to read, I like to read novels. One of the nurses was kind enough to lend me one.“ Sasha…“ Mike! “ I say surprised looking at him. He was at the door looking at me with a smile. He came closer to me and sat on mine. In this hospital, men and women were all together. It was a happier place with good energy.“ Why are you here?“ I will be hospitalized for a few days, they are testing my mental state!“ What happened?“ Nancy, she’s alive! I saw…“ Didn't she die?I shook my head no and explained everything that happened. Mike opened his eyes, surprised by what I said.“ Of course no one would believe you? Nobody believes in people like us!“ I know…“ Marlon?“ We are no longer together... It's better that way. “ I wiped the tear from the corner of my eye.
SashaAfter a few minutes of waiting the event began. She was sitting next to Marlon, one of his hands was resting on my leg, crossed with the other, stroking it. I had my arm resting on Marlon's shoulder, while I saw Júnior receiving the award and giving a speech. He liked to give long speeches that sounded like a lecture.I feel Marlon's hand sliding up my inner thigh, teasing me. I pressed my legs, closing them more and preventing his hand from moving forward.“ Stop, Marlon! “ I sent.He showed a mischievous smile, staring at me, as if he wanted to tame me right now.“ It is serious!He put his lips to my ear and bit lightly.“ I told you that this dress would give you problems…I gave him a quick kiss on the mouth and got up from the table, forcing him to let me go before he did something crazy. I was already going crazy with his touch, that if he continued with these provocations I would end up giving in. I went to the bathroom, got myself together and touched up my lipstick and
SashaI look out the window at home, seeing Marlon getting into the car and leaving for work. I waited a few minutes and started getting ready to leave, wearing something simple and practical, leggings and a black t”shirt, sneakers and a cap. I called the taxi and asked it to take me to the address I had written down on the paper. I couldn't drive, because of my mental condition. It wasn't safe for me or others. The place was distant, it was far from the city, it took almost half a walk to get there. When I arrived in the neighborhood, I asked for a taxi to stop one block before the place. I got out of the taxi and walked to the place. I arrived and spent a minute looking at the house, Nancy's house. The house was made of wood, rustic style but it was beautiful and tall. I spent a while watching the house to see if anyone was in the house, but it seemed to be abandoned. I didn't know why I was here, but something told me that I had to come, I had to know more about her, because I saw
SashaI'm at home in front of the television, watching time pass. I try to forget what happened in a moment, but it's all well and good. It wasn't imagination! I saw someone came into my store and messed with my dolls. I really wanted to believe that Nancy was dead, but something told me no, I was terrified of that woman. She was so evil, that even if one day they told me that she died and was reborn from the ashes, I would believe it.Sitting on the couch, I press my hands to my dress, trying to stay calm, breathing deeply. At that moment II get up and go to the kitchen to take the medication, which my new psychiatrist had recommended to me. I had to take it twice a day. I'm starting to get bored, I was used to always keeping myself busy, it helped me scare away "them". I pick up a novel and go to the porch of the house and start reading."Sasha...."I hear the voice calling me again. No matter how much medication I took, there was always a voice calling me, it felt like it was my si
SashaAfter a weekend away from home, we returned to our routines. I took advantage of Marlon's ride to go to the store and he went to work. It was a beautiful day, sunny and people were walking around in the street. My store was in front of a garden, where children used to play. Before opening the store, I spent some time looking at the children playing, happy and radiant. Others were with their parents, the affection between them was so beautiful. I wished my adoptive parents were alive, they were missed to this day. I wish I had had a good relationship with Nancy, my…Sister. Even though I knew she was my sister, I couldn't feel affection for her, just pity. If she had told me right away that she was my sister, it would have been different.I turn my attention back to the store and open the doors. I go in and see that the objects are not the way I left them before. On the floor there were two dolls sitting in front of me, one blonde and one brunette, both with sharp eyes. I take a d
MarlonThe sun's rays come through my bedroom window, creating a pleasant breeze, I could hear the sea waves while lying in bed. I reach over to the side where Sasha slept, but it's empty. I wake up looking to the side and see that there is a note.“Love, I'm waiting for you on the beach"I got out of bed and looked out the window. She was lying in her thong, sunbathing. I spend a while appreciating her and she looks at me, lowers her sunglasses showing a smile. She bites her lip and with her index finger calls me to meet her.I show a smile and lip, appreciating that geisha who seduced me every day, I say goodbye with a look and go to the bathroom. I stand in front of the mirror looking at the scar on my abdomen, thinking about whether it would go or not. I put my hand on my head and breathe, then I decide I'm going. I put the indentrifocal paste on my teeth, wash my face and get ready. I go out onto the balcony of the house that directly overlooks the beach and see her coming out of
