Another chapter. Warning some disturbing shit is up ahead. So if you're not comfortable kindly skip imma put up warnings.
It's been two weeks six days seven hours and forty three minutes since they put me on mandatory observation in another safe house or something. I didn't bother to ask or remember the details after I agreed to that man's demands.
The house that I was in was kind of pretty decent. It had two spacious bedrooms a legit living room,a kitchen , two bathrooms ,a study room ,a piano room and a training room.
I know ,I know,why does it sound like I'm living in a luxurious villa instead of a boring dorm room with other students or should I say residents of this place.
Well the answer is pretty simple I guess.
I'm supposedly one of the biggest threat they have in this area and I'm supposedly unstable and if I'm provoked I could set the whole damn school on fire.
Maybe thats why they haven't let me out during this entire time.
Gosh I don't even remember how it feels to just feel the sun rays against my skin or feel the rain drops or feel the wind ripple through my clothes.
I guess I'm in a beautiful prison. How delightful. Note the sarcasm.
As I played random keys on the piano ,my mind drifted to when I turned thirteen. Yeah.
My mother had finally lost her shit and by that I mean the demons and shadows finally made her go mad
From the nightmares to the torment to the manifestations but what finally broke her is when they murdered my step father.
He was a prick though but mom loved him.
Warning:messed up shit. If you feel uncomfortable you can skip.
Let me tell you the prick part of him. He was an abusive asshole who always made it his purpose to blame my mother for everything. He'd steal her saved up money ,beat her, curse at her and tell her that nobody loved her apart from him and that nobody would accept her or me because we're both so fucked up in the head.
But in one fucked up way or another,she always forgave him after he gave her some lame ass apology.
That's was when I first looked up the word toxic.
Messed up shit right.
Now onto how he died. Mahn I love that memory.
Well the prick finally noticed my existence and he tried to...
Let's just say that didn't sit right with the shadows and demons around me.
Sadly mom was there and watched the entire because she had what I call 'the sight' .
She watched as they broke all of his limbs from the inside and how his eyes were plucked out and crushed into ashes and how his member was cut off then force fed to him and how they peeled off his flesh bit by bit until there was nothing but bones and finally how he was dragged into a fiery pit of hell.
It's safe now
I guess that's what damaged her.
She didn't speak to me for an entire week. She seemed so detached to the outside world. All she did was stare at the place where it all took place.
While this all happened I was the one who took care of her. The harsher shadows also disappeared during this period leaving behind the quieter ones.
One of my mom's friends just happened to visit a week later and when she saw the state of my mom, she called an ambulance.
My mom was soon admitted to a mental facility and I happened to be taken in by one of my relatives.
I didn't stay there long because of I being me and the shadows of death all around me. So I basically took care of myself the remaining part of the year and surprisingly the shadows... helped and by that I mean, they'd posses people who would randomly come to the house and drop off cooked meals ,a substantial amount of money every month,and warm clothes.
Things took a good turn the next year . My mother finally recoverd tremendously and it could have even been considered as a miracle but I knew it was the shadows.
She came back home and treated me even better. My long lost father also came back. Though I didn't know him , his presence seemed to make my mother even better. He also seemed to have a better understanding of me concerning my abnormalities and tried seeking for various ways to get me 'cured'
And that is a small snippet of my childhood.
Pretty amazing right?
The sound of the doorbell brought me back to the reality that I really wanted to escape.
I guess it's time to begin this so called charade that the old man wanted.
Today was supposedly the day when the new members of the elites were going to be announced and a whole big ceremony was set because these members were going to be the last people to ever join.
I of course I'm part of them by default but not everyone knows about this so alot of drama was to be expected.
Well,it was all for my mother's safety. That's what mattered most.
"Stop ringing the damn bell gosh your annoying!" I yelled even though I knew that no one could hear me because of the sound proofed walls.
"Miss Solace"
"You know how I hate to be disturbed Richard"
"Orders" he smiled.
"You know I could have you killed if I wanted to"
"Not today Solace,we are late and the dean won't be happy "
Richard.
He was the guard assigned to me during this period. He was in charge of my safety and training.
He is also very headstrong so our time together hasn't been the most pleasant but I guess we're now both used to each other. Besides ,he was kind of hot. I mean he was well built and by that I mean he had abbs, his facial structure was perfect,his eyes were and ombre brown and his strength damn.
The fact that he could lift me and carry me without breaking a sweat,which happened on many occasions when I couldn't stand because of the training, was a turn on. In short any guy who was very strong was a turn on .
"Carry me"
"We've talked about this Solace, severally. What will the others think?"
We were now walking to the auditorium side by side. If one could see as right now I think they'd say that we look good together.
Or maybe I'm being biased because I may or may not have a small tinsy crush or him.
"They would think that you are a responsible man"
He suddenly stopped then faced me looking at me with very cold eyes
"It can't happen so get that sick fantasy out of your mind"
"What fantasy sir? " I said acting very innocent.
"Whatever it is . We can't be in any sort of relationship . I am your guard and trainer got it"
"Well then,let's kill this ,love"
"Solace"
"You know one day you're going to regret this"I joked trying to make this situation even more dramatic
"Regret what?"
"Letting me go"
"Why would I do that?"
"Because you've fallen for me duh"
"Difficult is one word to define you"
"Richard,you know after today you might never get to see me again "
"And where did you get that stupid notion from huh. I've been assigned to guard you till the day you leave this establishment"
"Why are you getting so defensive. I'm just joking" I smiled.
"You don't look hideous when you smile "he spoke
"Gosh are you trying to say that I'm beautiful"
"You should smile more"he shrugged.
"I should huh"
"Yeah"
"Anyways thank you for being there despite being very shitty though "
"Solace"
"I know I don't say this much but thank you . I know I'm willful and hot tempered and mean at times and stubborn and..."
"Solace?"
"And if we don't get to meet again just know that I think you're very hot"
"Stop talking as if we won't see each other again "
"Goodbye Richard "
" Where's the girl,we can't wait any longer "
"Here I am"
"You're late and everything is at a standstill because of you so get your ass in there and behave!"
"You don't get to talk to her like that Timothy"
"Let me guess ,she seduced you too"
"Draaaaaaaamaaaa"
"Solace "
"See y'all later"
I walked in and all eyes were on me. I spotted Solaria at the corner of my eye and mahn did she looked pissed. Good.
"And now to the most anticipated part of the program. The chosen six."
People began to murmur and soon their attention drifted from me.
I found myself a random seat at the back and made myself comfortable and nearly fell asleep.
"And now to the final chosen student"
I didn't bother on listening and kept spacing out but I was cut short of that luxury when I was roughly pulled out of my seat.
It was that Timothy guy
"Solace? Where is she. Solace ,I repeat Solace"
Oh. That .
I walked to the front ignoring the glares and cold eyes that were on me .
"Congratulations Solace" the dean smiled but a hint of coldness was evident in his eyes.
"I'll be the cause of your end" I whispered as he shook my hand
"Then I look forward to it"
"You'll regret this,I promise you"
The funny thing was,that all along, I wasn't in control of what I was saying so that meant that this dean guy was going to experience some serious shit
