Skyla
Where am I? This seems like an endless tunnel. I don't like it here, I am surrounded with total darkness. I tried calling out but it seems that I lost my voice. I couldn't even utter a word for help.
I've been walking here endlessly and I am starting to feel irritated.
"Where the heck am I!" The last time I remembered was when I was being kidnapped. Right! I was kidnapped but then Alexander helped me escape, and then the next thing I remembered is I felt a bullet shot through me, then I passed out.
Wait! Am I dead already? This can't be real! No, I can't be dead, it is still too early for me. I have just found my family and now I'm dead?
A lot of thoughts keep circling my mind while I am still walking in this endless darkness.
"Someone, please help me. Z, help me!"
Suddenly, my surroundings change, and I am brought to a church. It's a rainy evening and I saw someone come with a basket in hand.
I moved closer to that person and I realized it's a man, and he is with a baby! I gasped, but it seemed the man could not see me, he was carefully looking at the child. His eyes are soft, like he is telling something to the baby.
Wait, I think I know this man. No, this person is still a teenager! He is wearing a hoodie jacket that is making it hard for me to clearly see his face. He seemed familiar but due to the darkness and the rain, I am having a hard time processing my thoughts. Then I heard him say something to the baby.
"Sarai al sicuro qui, Mio. Ti prometto che mi prenderò sempre cura di te. Ti amo così tanto, e un giorno sarai tra le mie braccia per sempre (You'll be safe here, Mine. I promise I'll always look after you. I love you so much, and someday you'll be locked in my arms forever.)"
I could not understand what he was saying but I could feel his emotions. It stirred something within me and I felt like crying. Oh God, what is happening to me?
After he said those words, he carefully laid the baby down and made sure the baby wouldn't be soaked in rain. He also made sure that the baby is fully covered so that it won't be sick. After that, with one last look in the basket, he left.
I made my way to the basket and I was shocked by what I saw. Inside the basket is a baby girl, to be precise, it was me when I was a baby!
I had a picture the time when I was found by the orphanage, and it is exactly the same as the baby in the basket. I couldn't believe it! Am I back in the time where I was left in front of the church?
Suddenly, my surroundings change again. And I am back to the time with me growing up in the orphanage.
I am 5 years old, and I am sitting alone in the garden of the orphanage. Children around my age are playing together, but I chose to be alone, like I always did. Since I was a child, I have always preferred to be alone.
I was playing alone when I noticed a man standing beside a tree. My child self ofcourse didn't notice it but I did. I saw him just watching intently to my younger self.
After my younger self got bored playing alone, she returned to the orphanage, and after that I saw the man also left.
I could not clearly see the face of the man. I don't know but it seems something is preventing me from fully seeing his face.
I don't know what happened but once again I found myself surrounded again with darkness, but this time it was raining with thunder. I really hate thunder and I don't even know how it started.
I shivered in the cold, and a cold bead of sweat started to form on my forehead.
Boom!
A very loud sound of thunder was all I heard, and I could feel my body shaking. I screamed and shiver from fear when suddenly, I heard a gentle whisper, like waking me up from my nightmare. And all went black and that's the last thing I could remember before my consciousness drifted away.
