This time, I wasn't afraid of the darkness. It wasn't infinite and cold. It didn't bring this emptiness inside my heart. Instead it was warm and relaxing, the darkness was soothing my aching body, my broken heart. I could slowly feel my body start to tingle and respond to the ends of my nerves. My fingertips were being snapped back to function and I could feel a warm current running through my veins, through my capillaries, and through my arteries. My lazy dull heart, was beating with life beating with strength. Air was flushed down my lungs, and my mind was slowly reminiscing the past events, hitting rewind to the sudden twisted life I was now experiencing.
I abruptly woke up when I see the image of my dead father, water rippled around me and I realize I was inside a huge tub like container filled with herbed water. Some of it managed to get up my nose a bit and I coughed up a bit. I stayed absolutely silent trying to hear any noises that were coming from any directions. But there was nothing coming or doing anything. I looked down at my body and tried not to blush bright red when I noticed I was only wearing a nude color set of underwear.
Swinging a leg over the tub I managed to get out of the tub, my skin shivering at the touch of the cold breeze kissing my wet skin. I bite my lip and made sure to tip toe my way towards the towel rack, managing to grab a towel that was hanging there. Quickly my hands worked to wrap the towel around my body and froze when I heard the floor underneath my feet creak. Then there was a soft series of voices that I couldn't really understand what it was saying.
I rushed over to the back of the door trying to look at anywhere that would help as a weapon. The creaking of the flooring gave me a clue that whoever it was, was coming over to my door. I placed my hand over my mouth and nose to try to cover up my breathing.
"When do you think she's going to wake up?" I was finally able to distinguish what the voices were trying to say.
"Who knows, I really do hope she wakes up." Were they talking about me? I looked around the room and noticed there was absolutely no windows to escape from. The squeak of the door knob was a sign of someone trying to open the door. I willed myself to stop from breathing as the door was opened.
"Wait where did she go?" I hear the guy protest and I used my entire weight of my body to slam myself against the door and crush the two guys hard. As soon as I opened the door again I looked at both of the unknown men and shoved them down to the floor. I jumped over their legs and dashed out of the room. My hand grabbing onto the towel to make sure it didn't fall of or anything. I turned to the left on a corridor, trying to have my ears perk up to hear anything.
At first no one was following me or saying anything until the alarms went off. My nerves were spiked up and I ran as fast as I could down the corridor. I suddenly pressed on my brakes when I saw that the exit was blocked by more guards.
"Crap." I cursed under my breath when I abruptly turned around and opened the first door that I came across and just closed the door behind me. I tried taking a couple of breaths before I heard a series of gasps and slurs. I turned around and see Nick and Ray along with the other girls I met at the cafeteria back at school, Jezbelle and Annallie if I remembered correctly.
"Ari what are you doing up?" Nick looked at me with a hint of frustration in his eyes. I looked over at everybody else in the room and I could already feel myself tense up.
"Arya, don't worry. You're in a safe place." Ray was the only one that actually took a step towards me. Slowly the events of the last memories come into my mind. The monster, my father, and finally those two being my guardians. I felt my teeth clenched as frustration and anger kicked in. I sprinted towards Ray and shoved him back.
"Where the hell were you two! You call yourselves my guards!" I screamed hot tears pouring down my face. Nick came behind me wrapping his strong arms around me trying to pry me off of his brother. I shoved my elbow back, connecting to Nick's gut making him release me. I turned around and started hitting him as well.
"My dad is dead! Where were you to defend him! TO save him!" I cried out in frustration and pain. Ray managed to grab my arms as one of the girl walked towards me and placed both her hands on either side of my face.
"Arya you need to calm down, breathe okay." She whispered to me, her aqua blue eyes looking at me with such tenderness that it made my heart ache. My speeding heart slowly turned to it's normal rate. All you could hear from me was muffled up whimpers. Ray held me to him as the girl, Annallie, kept on trying to soothe me and whispered soft praying.
"Well that's definitely too much drama for one night." The scarlet blood red headed girl waltz towards us and didn't even glance at me.
"Can you two dim wits put a leash on the human and let's focus back on the fact that there's been many treaties broken all around our area." She glared at both Nick and Ray. What was her problem? She wasn't even looking at me what the hell! This made me even madder, not only did I lose my father, but I'm taken into a place without my consent.
"I don't care about your stupid area!" I snap at all of them. All of a sudden all of their gazes turn to either glare or look at me. I was too hot and angry to even care.
"I demand you to take me back to my home." I could feel my jaw clench as the images of my home flash in my mind.
"Oooh do you think your little attitude is going to make me obey you?" The red head snared at me.
"Jez!" Ray cautioned her but she just glared at him.
"Well I doubt you've realized it but your home has been eliminated." Her cold tone dismissed as if nothing. I looked at her and back towards the hunters. Nick was already barking at the red headed Jezbelle to hold her tongue.
"What do you mean eliminated?" My voice was barely audible. The blondie was the first one to try and hold me. Maybe she thought I would float away, which I would much rather do.
"I'm sorry Miss Light, but your house had too much evidence of our magical realm. It would've been dangerous for you and the people around you." Her sweet angelic voice was part of the reason why I didn't completely loose it.
"It means..." I whisper to her, her bright blue eyes looked closely to mine and tried her best to soothe me.
"It means Miss Light, that the records of your family and you have been eliminated from all of the human records. As far as your school any of your friends is concerned. Your family moved out of the nation due to a family promotion." She explained to me. My hold on reality slowly slipped into a thin thread.
"This is insane?" I gasped, I could feel a twisted smirk tug at the corner of my mouth as my breathing began to quicken.
"My whole life, erased because of some stupid creature?" I didn't realize that I was already sounding like a mad woman.
"This is just a nightmare!" I cried out as I covered my ears feeling the pressure in my head to try and soothe myself. All the voices around became an eerie echo. I couldn't make myself to actually pay attention to what they were saying. Everything came into a deep blur.
