I don't remember much about what happened after the twentieth slash of the whip on my skin. It feels as if I had an amnesia or a trauma about it but I know deep in my gut and mind, that memory will resurface and will surely haunt me.

I don't know for how long I was bedridden. I just remember waking up in an unknown room with my front in the mattress. I felt myself bandaged and that's all I remember before going back to the blackness. I don't know how long I was succumb in darkness, and oddly, I wished to stay in it forever. I was always labeled as the dark girl in the house because I'm always in the dark. Places, things, wants, needs, and even my personality is dark. I may be sarcastic and cheerful at times and in the outside, but like any other; I have a dark side where no one has ever witnessed. And I let it be that way.

Murmurs, whispers, voices...the room became filled with these voices but they seem foreign in my ears.

"Is she OK?"

"Does she look like she's OK?"

"No need to be rude"

"It's better if she doesn't wake up"

"How the fuck can you say that?!" Someone roared.

"You don't deserve her. She doesn't deserve you!!"

A whimper escaped me as my head pounded with the loudness of the voice.

"Alexandrielle?" A hand touches my shoulder and I flinched.

"She's waking up" a very foreign voice spoke.

My eyes slowly opened and I was greeted in a faintly illuminated room.

"Ms. Riley, can you see us?" A guy with a white cloak approached my side with a small flashlight in his hands.

I managed a small growl at the blinding light he's lighting my way.

"Can you hear us?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Ask me one more stupid question and I'll strangle you when I'm up" I threatened with my voice hoarse.

Some sighed in relief as someone handed me a glass of water. Two pair of hands helped me get up and I winced.

Drinking up, my senses came back and I can see them clearly. The band, Jane, my parents (caused me to growl), my grandfather, the doctor, Manager Kurt, Edmund, and Nanny are all in the room with me along with Zach and Mr. Harrison.

"Now you seem to have your senses clearly, am I correct?" The doctor said and I nodded, my face contorted in a coldness I have no control of showing.

"Anything you need?" He asked as he checked my pulse, my breathing, the bandage's position.

"I want the bandage off" I said and they all opened their mouth in shock.

"But dear, you're not fully healed yet" Nanny tried to stop me.

"I want it off" I repeated with my dominant tone. I never talked to her and Edmund with my dominant tone and I know it surprises them.

This is what I never wanted to happen. Being cold, my dark side consuming me whole. Like my emotions are shut, off...gone. I didn't feel remorse, I didn't even feel the pain in my back anymore. I'm just numb...not feeling anything. I don't want this to happen but like I said, I have no control over it. All fight in me gone, feelings gone....hope gone. Why am I even still living? I could've just died in that punishment.

"But it can cause infection, skin diseases-"

"I said I want it off" I said with a flash of my human canine which dominants have it all. Like I said before, we are quite resembled with werewolves.

They all looked at me shocked as I bristle towards them. I don't trust anyone anymore.

"Alexandrielle..." Zach tried to approach me but I warned him with a growl...aggressive. Because I can't trust anyone and I only have myself now, my nature automatically switched in aggressive mode in order to protect myself.

Zach answered mine with his own answer of my threat as he continues to stalk towards me. In reaction, I tried to attack him as many hands hold me down, raging, screaming, growling as they sedate me to put me in another void of darkness.

AN: *cries* aaah! What did I do to Alexandrielle?! 😢😢 My poor Alexandrielle what happened to you?

Shut up mind! Ask yourself why did you make Alexandrielle like that?

*stops crying* It's because I'm crazy. *flashes a goofy smile before exiting*

*shook head* Hopefully you like the chapter. Hmmm three chapters in a day? Wow, hallelujah!

Tell me what you think. 😉😉
