SashaEleven o'clock at night, I was in the room combing Hilda's hair, she loved it when she combed her long hair, while she told me what her life was like when she was young. She knew it was night from the clock on the wall, because if it weren't for that, I wouldn't even have noticed. It was always the same here, there was no difference whether it was day or night, centuries could pass and I wouldn't even notice.“ Sasha.I'm scared, because I wasn't expecting it. I see Marlon in front of me, staring.“ Look, he's a handsome man!I showed a smile and approached him. He seemed anxious, as if he had something to tell me.“did something happen?“ Take me to the door. Let's go!“ Is everything okay over there? “ You asked Hilda.I approached and kissed him on the forehead.“ Everything is fine! See you tomorrow.I walked away from her and went back to Marlon.He took my hand and we went together, walking through the corridors. I led him to the door, we stared at him for a while. Marlon
3 days laterMarlonI'm sitting in the cafeteria, playing with my food. Not a second went by without me thinking about her. She had her reasons for being upset with me, but she had to understand that I did what I did because it was the best choice. I want to get out of this and the only way is to get closer to those who suit me.“ Hi handsome!“ Betina, today is not a good day …” I already knew it was her. Over time I learned to identify Lucas's personalities.“calm down, I just wanted to be nice! “ She left and went to sit at the other table.“ what animal bit you Marlon? “ Leo asked, while eating.“ Sasha… She discovered that…“ From your romance with Nancy.“ It's not a romance, it doesn't fill your patience either!“ Calm down, it was a joke!I put my hand on my head and took a deep breath.“ How come you never thought about leaving here? “ I asked impatiently.“ Flee where? If it's out there I'm a killer.I told her about the exit that Nancy had told me about, I wanted to know if
MarlonI feel Sasha's body close to mine, I could hear her breathing. She opened her eyes and looked to the side, she looked scared. I stared blankly and looked back but didn't see anything to scare him.“ What's it?“ I don't know, it seemed like someone was spying on us...“ There is no one, other than the same people who have always been here…She nodded and walked away from me.“ You should go…“ Nancy is not there, she will only be back tomorrow! The environment is calmer and there are fewer guards.“ I understand, but you better go... “ She says to me distressed. She passes her hand over my face and I gently take her lips.(...)I'm upstairs, walk down the corridor that leads to my room. I pass by a room with the door open and I see an elderly man, the same man I used to see the other day, Damião. He waves at me with his hand in greeting and I nod, he looks at me as if he knows where I'm coming from. I take another step and I feel my shoulder being grabbed. I turn around and am
MarlonI wake up with a bucket of cold water, I look around and everything is cloudy, I can barely see because one of my eyes is swollen. Two men hold me by the arm, forcing me to stand. I can barely walk, so I'm dragged into another room. I'm laid on a bed, and they put a metal hat on me, I knew what happened to me. I feel the shock in me, causing a tremor and pain throughout my body. They increase the voltage and intensity, I felt like my head was going to explode.“ Calm down... I want him to learn his lesson and not for him to die! “ I hear Nancy's voice from afar.I was breathing, trying to be as healthy as possible, I could barely breathe because of so much pain. As soon as I calmed down, I felt the shock again, giving me tremors and discomfort. A pain I never imagined I could feel. I don't know how long I was being tortured like that, but I blacked out, only hearing voices from afar.(...)I open my eyes, still dizzy, and see myself in a room that looks more like a prison. I lo
MarlonI am being taken by the two employees to another place. From what I see, I realize that I'm in the area where I was before, I'm heading back to my room. I don't understand why, because I thought I would die in that place, electrified to death.They brutally put me on the bed and tied me up. My body is immobile and painful, I can barely breathe and I am put on a mask imitating a bug's fucinhheira, as if I were capable of biting someone. I stay alone in the room and close my eyes, the images of everything I lived and saw tormented me. Blood in the rooms, men and women being tortured, I smelled death. I open my eyes and see Sasha in front of me, her face was bleeding and asking me for help. I try to free myself but it's in vain, I struggle but to no avail.“ Navid!Suddenly the darkness disappears and light comes, the door opens leaving Nancy walking towards me. I no longer knew what was real from the imaginary, I no longer knew if she was real. I was going crazy, this would be th
Marlon“ Marlon!!I hear it calling me, from afar as if it were a dream. He was lying on the bed, motionless because my body still hurt, I was confused, I didn't even know where I was.“ Marlon!I open my eyes and see Leo and Mike in front of me. I stare at them for a while, unsure if this is real or an imagination in my mind.“ Are you well? Wow, you look like a shame…” Mike said.“ Where am I? “ I look around.“ Underground! “ Said Leo. “ What happened?“ She found out… “ I took a deep breath. “ Where is Sasha?“ I told you not to play with that demon! “ Said Leo.My body was on fire and had small tremors. Mike ran his hand over my face.“ You are burning with fever!“ Where is Sasha?“In the bedroom!” Leo took a deep breath. “ It's locked. They took away every possible object so she couldn't open the door.“ I'm going to go to her...“ You have a fever!” Leo“ I need to see her, I need to find a plan to get out of here!“ Haven't you given up yet? “ Leo“ Never, I will not die in t
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
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
