Chapter 58 - The City Falls Silent


    "Aurora," I scoffed.


    "You''re making me sad. Is that how you greet me now," She said earning a chuckle from Desmond.


    "Let me guess, you''re the one who ordered him to kidnap me." I nced at Desmond to get my point


    through.


    "It''s nothing personal, honey. I still like you." She smiled her warm smile that used to make my nerves


    disappear. "Remember that story about the two kids and the bad guy?" I knew exactly what she was


    talking about. The story the torturous guy told me about when I woke up the first time. I nodded slowly.


    "That''s me, Ollie and... your dad." That was when I started sobbing. My heart was breaking over and

    My sobs didn''t cease until I saw my torturer. "What did I say about being loud," I didn''t breathe. I


    watched him with wide eyes to reveal the face behind the mask. It was Ollie! Cheerful friendly Oliver.


    "I''ll let it slide just this time." He gave me a cheerful smile. One I was so used of.


    I had to wake up from this nightmare.


    "But," He paused. "I can''t seem to forget you pped my daughter." His whole expression shifted


    before his fist balled and crashed into my face over and over until I felt nothing.


    Just. Nothing.


    The ringing in my ears was so much I couldn''t focus on anything. Someone was shouting. They


    seemed so distressed, they needed help... or was I the one screaming?!


    Gunshots sounded through the vacancy but weirdly enough, I still didn''t feel pain. Maybe I was dead!


    The ever so persisting ringing started getting louder and louder. Consuming me. Getting me into its

    mist.


    And then... nothing.
