The last thing I heard was a cry in the distance until I blacked out. Now I'm enveloped in darkness with one word circling in my mind: Tenebris.
I don't know what it means and why I'm thinking of it. I disregarded it and tried to familiarize myself with my surroundings. Everything in my body hurts but I still try. There's a faint light across the room in the distance. Cold. I'm assuming I'm wrapped in metal chains. My vision is blurry and my mouth is trapped in cloth. Rough. I try to remember, but I can't focus because of the stench of blood and dirt around me. I hear someone's footsteps walking towards me from behind. Heavy.
"Where am I? Who are you? What are you doing?!", I bombarded the person with questions but he/she just stayed while releasing my hands from the chains. The person went away after doing so.
"I was hoping you'd wake up sooner or later. Darling, don't panic, I'm not going to hurt you. It's okay," the figure said. I was shocked and confused and scared. He took the cloth from my mouth for me to speak yet no words came out. I shivered in his touch. His fingers caressing my bruised wrists. He kissed my forehead before he spoke again.
"I'll be back soon, darling, I love you," he said softly. I'm not convinced. I'm still horrified that I still don't know where I am. He left me.
My vision was getting blurry again. Soon everything in my surroundings are messed up. Scattered. I heard screams and whimpers and I felt someone tie me with those cold metal chains again. I heard a cry from the distance before I lost consciousness.
