Niccolò's Chocolate House

Chapter 39

*Dari*

A gush of air escape me, as he continued in my direction. My heart hammered loudly, sinking deeper within my chest, with each step. While the door was being unlatched from the outside moments ago, my hope was that someone had come to my rescue. Preferably, someone I knew.

This, somber state of inhumane confinement, was beginning to be too much. To the extent that I wouldn't have wished it on my worst enemy. I couldn't fathom being in this ghastly place for much longer. It was quite some time since I'd eaten. Hunger and frustration were a lethal combination on its own and my raging hormones weren't helping the case either.

The hairs on my skin stood at attention, my final warning that something awry would take place if I allowed it. But what could I do? Shackled to the wall like some unruly pitbull and all? The determined look in his eye seared my soul. A silent prayer crossed my mind as he stood at the base of my feet. Suppressing the waterworks as he examined me, from my toes all the way up to the crown of my head, I analyzed him as well.

His words hung in the air, the promise of his pleasure, in exchange for my demise. Enough tv shows had depicted how easily a situation, like the one I currently found myself in, could go sideways. Law and Order: SVU. Criminal Minds. Homeland. I'd been bing-watching them all, with Krysta and Tey, for the past few months. Whenever they were available. A countermeasure was fortunately in order.

His greeting wandered my psyche. The longer I was processed it, the more unhinged I became. It was almost impossible to miss the glint in his dark eyes as he uttered it. Almost. The threat hidden just beneath, nearly masking his nefarious intentions. He paused midstep, a little way in, extending an arm to close the door.

Earlier, it had been so devastating, being alone in this dark expanse. Quite frankly, it never occured to me that the presence of light might beckon danger. My spidey-sense tingled with urgency. Heaven only knows I didn't want him anyway near me, but I had no idea what to do.

The overhead lights agitated my peepers. A reasonable response considering, the room had been dark going on forever now. I'd been in the twilight zone for however long. It was a struggle to keep them open, but I couldn't close them, for fear of what may occur if I did.
