—————————————
My hands and feet are shackled by chains and I'm in a dark dungeon with barely any clothes on. My heart and throat burned and my entire being was bare with energy.
My hair is an utter mess and I'm losing hope of surviving this torture. I can barely see a thing as it's almost pitch dark, I must be in my memories,
"Somebody help me!!!" I cough out blood as my throat cries out in pain, so this was how I was tortured before my demise, "help me" my head hangs freely and my blood couldn't flow to my limbs.
Was I just going to die here again?
Music and laughter penetrate my ears, I suspect it's the people who left me to die here. My vision becomes blurry and my head begins to pound,
"Mom, where are you?" I call for her but she doesn't answer me, the darkness does. Tears sting my eyes and fall to the ground, why was this happening to me?
I reminisce moments with my mother, with Debbie and Bryan, with Daylon. Daylon. I could never see him again because I'm trapped here. I can't get out. I'm helpless once again.
"Daylon!!!" I scream his name with my last energy and fall unconscious.
It's Saturday morning and the birds are chirping in a tree, the rays greet him waking him up from his slumber.
He looks around and then to me, he'd fallen asleep on the chair beside me, he rubs his eyes the bags only worse now,
"Morning Eris" he greets me with half a smile and grabs his phone, he sees multiple messages from Debbie and a message from Bryan telling him not to answer her yet as she wasn't in the right frame of mind. That was yesterday night.
He drops his phone and prays to God for ten minutes,
"You can hear me but can't respond" he sniffs, "Debbie and Bryan are worried about you" he holds my hand and notices the red circles around my wrists and ankles, his blood boils but he quickly suppresses it, "I'm worried too. Say something"
Nothing.
"Oh yeah I forgot you can't respond" he admits with tears in his eyes, "I'm not going anywhere this time" his pearls drop on my hand and he takes his time to cry.
I can hear him, his pain, everything. I raise my head to the darkness with tears in my eyes, "I'm here Daylon" my words are almost inaudible, the tears drop to the floor and I'm pained.
"Daylon!!! Daylon!!!!!" I scream and cry and struggle against the chains, he couldn't see my lips trembling to open as I protested in my dark prison, "Da—" chains wrap around my neck tightly partially cutting off my air supply. I cough violently and spit out my blood which lands just in front of my feet, my vision begins to blur and the strength I had gathered began to diminish. My eyes close once again with my hair hanging in front of my face.
He raises his head and traces my lips with a small smile evident on his face, he hears a beep and looks at his phone but there is no notification. He pulls out my phone from his pocket and sights a notification.
A message from my aunt.
He gulps and swipes upward, my phone opens and he sees a picture of Debbie and me as my screen saver. I was the human-horse and she was the human rider, we were ten years old then.
He's surprised I didn't have a password or pattern, he opens the dialer and calls my aunt,
"Eris?! Where are you?! I got back home and I didn't meet you. You could've at least sent me a message or something, I—"
"Morning ma'am" his voice is shaky after hearing how concerned she was,
"Um morning. Is Eris with you? She didn't tell me anything, is she okay?" My aunt's tone becomes playful after hearing Daylon's voice,
"Yes she's with me" the tears were stinging his eyes, "we're in a hospital" he breaks out,
"What?! Which hospital?! What happened to my Eris?!!?!" She panics,
"It's the town's main hospital, she was drugged and raped in school. Please come, she needs you" he begs with tears in his voice and immediately the line drops.
His breathing becomes audible as his eyes slowly shift to my body, he looks at my vital signs and heaves a heavy sigh. He rests his head on my right arm and he finds comfort there until he hears his ringtone,
"Yeah dad?" He sounds defeated,
"How you doing kid?" He's just as worried, "how is she doing?"
"She's still in the coma dad. Are you coming over?" He tussles his hair,
"Yeah, want me to get you something?"
"The box on my bedside drawer. Thanks" his eyes shift to the window,
"Food? I know you haven't eaten kid" he grabs a couple of things and his keys,
"I'm not hungry yet" he didn't feel the need to eat,
"I know what you're doing Daylon, starving yourself isn't the right way to go" Aaron chastises,
"I'll eat later I promise" he lies,
"Be there in half an hour, take care of her kid" the line drops and so does his phone right on the bed.
He looks at mine and smiles at the screen saver, we were so happy, smiling and laughing, being kids and all. He has this irresistible urge to go snooping and he does.
He clicks the gallery first and sees a lifetime worth of photos,
"Girls" he says to himself with a small grin, "she barely has pictures of herself" he continues to swipe most of Debbie's photos hoping to find one that belonged to me.
He gets tired of swiping and heads over to the album, he sees one for Debbie with her best pic on it, one that holds family photos, and one for personal photos. He clicks on the family and the first picture he sees is me with a little boy giving the peace sign.
"He's cute" he comments and swipes to another with me holding a baby boy giving him a peck, he marvels at the emotions in the photo, "She'll be a good mom"
Where did that come from?
He shakes his head to clear the thought and swipes to a video, it looks promising. He presses the play button and the video starts.
He sees people, a man, a woman and a young female adult rushing for water gulping it down like it was the only thing that could save them except the little boy who was comfortably eating his food,
"So do you all like it?" I sneer in the video and a mocking laugh follows,
"Eris you brat!!!" She goes for more water, "what did you put in this?!" Tears are forced down Tiffany's cheeks,
"Just a little spice, don't you like it mom and dad? Not even you Tiffany?" I give a mocking pout as all the water had run out until I pull a bucket filled with water out. They look at each other and start taking cups out of it,
"I like it!" Cody takes a hearty bite out of his chicken and everyone gives him death glares and he shuts up. Daylon laughs as I took a bite out of Tiffany's food,
"It tastes okay to me" he laughs harder as Cody let out a burp which made me laugh. The video ends and he looks for more videos.
Videos of pranks.
He spots another and plays it, it starts with me snickering like an idiot,
"Revenge time!" I whisper-shout and move hair out of my face, "you want nail polish right? Then you're going to get it" I muffle my laughter with my hands and I go to set the camera and wait, "hey Tiffany?" I spot my older sister and call her,
"What is it you freak?" She rolls her eyes with arms crossed,
"I know you're mad at me because of that nail polish incident so I decided to get you a whole set from your favorite company. Ya know, to say sorry so you won't be mad at your little sister" her reaction lit up,
"What colors did you get?!" She's almost jumping in her skin,
"Pink with those sparkles you like" I sing out trying to camouflage my laugh.
Daylon's lips wriggle, he knows what's going to happen next,
"Where is it?!" She squeals and in the blink of an eye she's coated with pink sparkly nail polish that came from God himself, my unruly laughter only incites her anger the more, "Eris!!"
The camera is moving as I'm running away from the crime scene laughing like a maniac. Daylon is trying to catch his breath from the explosive laughter, his eyes move to his phone and see a message but ignore it.
