I tried to scream and kick the hand as I fell in the darkness. The hands that were holding my feet and covering my mouth were ice cold.
I tried to open my eyes, but all I could see was darkness, and the silence was eerie. My hair was all around my face as I felt like the hands that were dragging me would never stop. The skin on my hands and feet felt like they were burning as I was dragged on what felt like asphalt.
I suddenly stopped, and the hands on my face and legs disappeared. I was trembling with fear and confusion as I tried my best to shift to a crawling position. My entire body ached as I got up to a sitting position, and I tried to catch my breath while tears threatened to fall from my eyes.
I looked around, and it was still pitch black. I tried to speak, but my voice trembled, and my throat felt like it was burning. I realized it was because of the sulfuric smell that was getting stronger. I coughed as the smell got stronger and stronger.
“My love…” Rian’s voice echoed in the darkness, but his voice was different. It was as though his voice came from every direction, and the sound was gruff, like he had a sore throat.
“My love…” Rian repeated the two words over and over again. I covered my ears, but the sound felt like it vibrated inside of me.
“Rian…stop this. Please, Rian.” I begged as I kneeled and covered my ears.
The sound of Rian’s voice was louder, and this time, I screamed as hard as I could to block out the sound that was around me. It felt like all I could do was scream louder than the echoing voice of Rian’s laughter.
I was going insane as I felt myself slipping. I didn’t know why, but it feels as though my soul was being stretched by something. My entire body froze into my fetal position, and tears were streaming down my face.
“My love…” The voice was smooth, and unlike the torturing tone of the previous one, this tone was much quieter, as if it was trying to soothe me. “...stand up, my love.”
I didn’t do what it said, and instead, I curled up in a ball and sobbed some more. I wasn’t a crier, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being dissected in my spiritual body. I felt loneliness, regret, pain, and anger swells inside of me.
“Please…” My voice was a whisper, and it echoed in the eerie silence that suddenly fell upon me. The dark was no longer pit black, instead, it’s becoming lighter and lighter.
“Open your eyes, Shyne.” I kept them closed as I felt smoke surround me.
I shivered at the coldness that was surrounding me, and I realized that I magically lost my clothes, and I was laying naked as the day I was born. I hugged myself to cover my breast, and my knees were up to cover my body as much as I could while laying still on the floor.
The sound of a creaking and old door sounded in the distance, and I realized that the placa was now a gray color. The door that opened was in front of me, about ten meters away. I couldn't see anything aside from a warm light inside of the opened door.
“Shyne, my love, come to me…” The voice was coming from inside of the opened door, but I still didn’t move.
“N-no, Rian…” I said with my trembling voice. The silence that followed made me shiver. It felt like something was coming.
I floated in the air, and my arms were spread as my legs were closed. My entire body felt like there were invisible giant hands holding me, and I floated to the direction of the door.
“No!” I screamed as I struggled and tried to break free from the invisible hand that surrounded me.
I closed my eyes as I entered the room, because the light was too bright. As I entered the room, multiple voices laughed at the same time, and it sent shivers up my spine.
I suddenly fell, and my butt hit something soft. When I opened my eyes, I was currently sitting on top of a bed with black sheets.
“So you want to be stubborn, huh?” I looked up, and Rian was standing in front of me while he was naked. I looked straight to his face, and didn’t even bother looking somewhere else.
The feeling of weakness was back as my heart felt like it was racing a hundred miles a second. I was hyperventilating, and the room felt heavy.
“My love…” I focused on Rian’s face, but for a split second, it looked like he was someone else, someone with horns and sharp teeth.
“You like that boy, huh?” He was walking towards me as I forced myself to stand up, but I only had enough strength to back up against the headboard. It felt like anchors were weighing down my entire body.
“R-rian, please…Brixton is a friend, and-”
“Lies!” He shouted. He spoke multiple curse words, and a few Latin words that felt like worse insults. “You like that guy, and you want him!”
“Rian! You’re already dead! You died, and you can never come back! "I shouted as I pulled the covers and tried to cover my naked body. It was hard, but I managed to move my arms.
“I can’t kill that guy, but I can trap you here, my love. You managed to guess that your emotions are my ticket inside your mind, so let’s widen that entrance, shall we?”
He came closer to me and grabbed the covers to expose me. I tried to cover myself, but he was on top of me in seconds.
“You will never escape me! I don’t care if I have to take away your sanity for me to be with you!” Rian grabbed my hands and put them over my head as he sat on my lap, and my legs were between him to disable my movements.
“You chose that guy because he’s alive, huh?” He gave me a devilish smirk that made him look like something else aside from humans. “Well then, my love, let me do the honors and make you feel alive.”
He pressed his knee on my left thigh, and I screamed in pain as my legs opened. In one swift motion, he entered me and I screamed as my body burned in pain. He moved hard and fast as MY screams echoed in the room. My entire body felt like it was on fire, as he laughed louder and louder.
“That guy will never love you like I do! He will never make you feel on edge like I do! You. Are. Mine! MINE ALONE!”
I screamed as he came at me, but never stopped. Tears were flowing from my eyes, and even if I knew it was a dream, the pain was too much for me. I couldn’t focus, and all I could do was scream and try my best to fight back.
“I’ll make you suffer and force you to love me, even if I’ll tear your soul apart and take every piece for my own!” Rian said as he bent me and touched me with his rough hands.
I could move, but the pain was too much as I struggled to even breathe. I felt him turn me around, and he was behind me. He grabbed my waist as he took my hands and secured them behind me. His hands grew claws, and my eyes widened with terror.
“Now…let’s see how long you last.” The voice wasn’t Rian's, and I felt immense pain as his claws dug into my skin.
“Nooo!” I screamed as the monster behind me laughed. He has multiple voices, and I knew this time, it wasn’t Rian who was forcing me. It was something that was behind the curse.
“You are the best offering that Rian has given me, Shyne De Leon…” The monster laughed menacingly as terror spread through my veins, “...the best offering for the love he desperately craved.”
