Dark shadows book 1

forthcoming - chapter 3

Darkness chooses only a direction but light shatters in all the side

Coming out of the hot tub, was like coming out of light into dark and agony. It is a very cold night, I took a towel beside my tub, tried to scrub it all over means tied it to my body, slowly walking towards the mirror, took a hairdryer and kept it at full speed. drying my hair and body, thinking about what is going to happen tomorrow, what will I answer to him if he sees the tattoo. A thousand questions raised inside.

Knock, knock, can I come in Katherine. I brought u some food.

I quickly wore my comfiest PJ and quickly ran to open the door, come in mom. My mom came inside with a tray, some sandwiches and hot chocolate on it.
Mom: Darling, I know you don't want me to be with you
Placing the tray on the table
Me: No mom, can I ask you something?
Mom: what is it?
Katherine: Are you sure, I am going to be a good wife and a good leader,"
Mom: What makes you think that?
Katherine: I am very scared for tomorrow mom.
Mom: Kat I know you're scared I was once too, it's ok to be scared darling because you are going to be married.
Me: I don't even know his name mom. What if I mess everything up? What if he hates me? He is not a witch mom.
Mom: Katherine, your father wasn't a witch either, he was a normal human, it's okay to be scared. Your father made a promise to them, do not forget.
Katherine: I don't want to get married.
Mom: don't you forget, it's not your choice, you owe this to ur father. Eat your food and get some rest.

Life is never in our hands, why does nobody understand me, I am not fine, I am never going to be fine. I Closed my eyes and stared into the dark. My father advised me when I couldn't sleep as a little girl. He wouldn't want me to do that now but I've set my mind to the task regardless. I'm staring beyond my closed eyelids. Though I lie still on the ground, I feel perched at the highest point I could be, I see nothing but cold black nothingness. I take one last look at my fingers wrapped around the light and letting go of the darkness. Down I go, falling, then floating, and, falling again, I wait for the land of my life. I know now, as I knew as that little girl fighting sleep, that behind her gauzed screen of shut-eye, lies colour. It taunts me, dares me to open my eyes and lose sleep. The fire, my life, my family, feels just shattered into a million pieces. Tomorrow is the day to lose everything.

The alarms buzz on the side of the table,

I tried to wake up thinking "it's going to be a wonderful day but will it be? even though my life is going to be shattered. Everything is going to be fine, whatever happens, it's going to be fine " I said to myself, getting out of bed, the feet touched the ground it was cold, the sky was dark, as the hell took over the light and going rule the world, the clouds were unpleasant, I went to the bathroom, while was brushing, I would only think about the June 12, the fire, I was coughing hard, I  was losing myself as I could see the fire around, I shouted with top of my lungs Dad, I  am here, help me, he saw me trying to take me out of the cabin. I couldn't breathe, I closed my eyes, dad, dad my voice was fading always,

Knock, knock, wake up, it's your big day, Crystal shouts
I  need to get you ready  Crystal says, in 5 min I will come out, I am going take a shower, I said, today is not a big day, it's the day I lose my freedom. Stepping out of the quick shower, it was cold, it was 7 am, I came into my room in a towel, wearing the dress was a dream but with the person I loved, I believe in true love, anybody in a room with my mother and father would believe that there is true love, my mom and dad were 20 and 24 when they got married, the love between didn't even smudge until my father died, my still loves him the same. Crystal opens the door, oh nice you took a bath, now let's get you ready, my mom is going in 1 hour, I need to pick her up, chop-chop time is valuable. Crystal was excited about the wedding, she took the dress, "it's perfect, come on wear this bra, it will be nice for the dress, fast, fast, we don't have the whole day here, let me do ur hair", she forcibly made me sit in the chair, I loved her but sometimes she can be pushy.
