Chereads / Her DARK SIDE / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

~Daphne's pov~ 12:41am.

I was still trapped in the woods with no way out, At this point I was already having a panic attack because I'm scared of the dark right from childhood. ' I need to find a way out of here real quick, Before I faint from fear' I thought to myself.

But that was almost impossible because It was hard to see what was in front of you Even with the full moon that was hanging on the night sky. After taking some time to calm myself, I had just taken a step forward when I tripped on a tree root, Luckily I fell on dried leaves, so I didn't get seriously injured. I just got up from the ground and was about to pat dirts off my clothes when hundreds of bats came flying towards my direction....

They all flew past me at once, their wings and claws hitting me on every corner of my face and body, Leaving cuts and bruises all over, Not even my uniform was spared...

I was still in the floor trying to recover from the dizziness that came over me when I fell, When one last bat came crawling towards me with sinister red eyes. It looked even creepier than the ones that flew by.. When he got to where I laid It stared at me like a predator looking at his prey for some seconds before it sank it's sharp teeth Into my arm And started sucking my blood like crazy.. I felt my life being drained out of me rapidly. My vision was already getting blurred but before I died I saw a man that was wearing a black cloak staring at me from a distance with an evil grin on his face. And that was the last thing I saw before my eyes closed.

~ Stella's home- 7:53 am~

Stella and her mom was sitting on the dining table having tea when her mom suddenly asked " Why Is your sister not home yet?".. Stella who was about to take a sip from her tea paused and glance at her mom " Stepsister, She's my stepsister Not my sister" She corrected coldly" Yeah whatever you both are my daughters so she's your sister by Blood whether you like it or not.. So answer my question where is your sister?" Her mom asked looking serious. " Well I have no idea. I mean I told her to wait for me at the school gate so that we can go together since she doesn't know her way around. But she stood me up... After escorting my friends back home, When I came to the gate to pick my 'sister' she was nowhere to be found" Stella narrated her fake story " At first i thought she went to use the restroom back inside so I waited for her for hours, But didn't see even her shadow. So that's why I came back home thinking she might have already found her way but..." Stella continued putting on a worried face.. On hearing this her mom got Furious " That sl*t, how dare she sleep out in my house does she thinks this is her father's house where she can go around sleeping with men... It's not the same here!" Her mother fumed.. " I knew it, I should have left with my child, I shouldn't Have trusted David With raising my daughter.. He has no idea how to train a girl child, See how Disrespectful and unruly she Behaves...She has no shame whatsoever And it's all thanks to David"... Mom just kept blabbering on In Rage

" When she gets back I'll give her a Piece of my mind.." I just continued to sip my tea elegantly and thought with a smile 'that's if she comes back alive'..
