Darling
Chapter Three
The sun beamed through the bedroom window, peering down like a golden light on Luanna. Her long eyelashes fluttered open, showing her bright hazel eyes. The girl sat up slightly but fell back so that her aching head rested on the pillow. Easy there , she thought to herself. Without moving her head to much she looked around the room she was lying in, she was familiar to the smell of the bed sheets and the posters that were taped to the bedroom walls. It was Niall’s room.
Luanna thought she must have dreamt what had happened and everything was still okay. But that’s when she spotted Niall fast asleep in the chair in the corner of the room, his hand grasped around a hammer.
Niall hadn’t tied her to the bed, in fact the door was wide open. So very quietly she rolled out of the bed and stood up, letting the blood flow right to her head making her weak body feel nauseous. Alcohol and being knocked out was definitely not the best blend for a beautiful Saturday morning. She tiptoed across the room as quiet as a mouse, trying not to creek the wooden floors below her feet. But Niall was fast asleep, his mouth wide open to let out the snoring.
The house she was familiar with was dark. The windows and curtains closed.
To leave the house she had to walk through the kitchen and into the lounge room to the front door. There was no sign of anybody else in this house. It was echo quiet.
Lua made it to the door and wrapped her hand around the knob twisting for it to open. But it stayed stuck. She looked around for the unlock button but there was none. The girl ran to the window and tried to force it open but it stayed shut.
Lua made her way around the whole house trying to unlock every opening. But no luck. She was puffed and tired. Her head still pounding like the thundering hooves of a thousand wild stallions.
The TV set on the wall was on, and the news was lightly playing. Two pictures of a boy and a girl popped up on the screen along with the caption.
TEENS FOUND BRUTUALLY MURDERED
The young kids looked about Luanna’s age. She couldn’t help but stare at the TV as the reporter told the viewers about the kids story. They go to the school Lua used to go to.
”Sarah Saetang, only 17 years old was reported missing for four days. As the family prayed and wished that their daughter would come home safely. Long-time boyfriend Logan went searching for his girlfriend.”
The TV flashed images of the mourning families and photos of the two.
” The two were found on an abandoned football field outside of town. Both murdered. Logan had been run over by an old sledge tractor while Sarah had shown signs of rape. Investigators and Police officers are out now searching for the killers of these innocent young and in love kids.”
”So sad isn’t it?” A dark voice whispered.
Lua stumbled back shocked. When she turned she saw Niall standing behind her. His face was frozen and expressionless.
”Niall… Niall what’s going on.”
He didn’t answer.
”Niall! I want to go home!”
Niall’s lips formed a hard line and his blue eyes squinted. “Why?”
”Because...” The girl hesitated, “I’m scared.”
“Why would you be scared of me darling? Why do I frighten you? I would never hurt you, you know.” He stepped closer to the frightened girl. “I love you Luana. I always have.”
He tucked his hand around her neck and wrapped his arm around her petite waist.
Lua’s eyes were filled with tears. Her mind was wondering. why was he doing this? Where is Harry? Am I going to die here? Am I going to be his slave? Where is his dad? I’m sorry Niall but I don’t love you like that. I’m sorry! I need to get out of HERE! .
He leaned in, his lips almost reaching hers when she pushed him hard away. Lifting her arms up to push him and slap him as hard as she could. Niall stumbled into the chair behind him as she kicked and slapped him, screaming “HELP! HELP!”
Her body fell exhausted but she still swung hits. Niall grabbed her arms tightly and held her still. Raising his arm up to display a fist before punching Lua in the face.
Lua fell to the floor holding onto the side of her now-bruised face as she sobbed.
Niall stood breathless. Before falling down in tears as well.
”I’m so sorry Lua! I’m so sorry!”
He reached over to caress her but she pushed him away.
“I would never hurt you, you know?” She repeated the same words he had said.
They both sat in silent, Niall hating himself. Lua trying to soothe the bruise on her cheek. The TV continued talking about the news.
”Niall…”
He looked up, his were bloodshot from crying.
“Where is Harry?”
Niall paused, “Nothing you need to worry about.” He spat out harshly.

I'm still, not moving, not breathing. What other choice do i have? The demonic howls are only thing I hear, death the only thing near. What is this place so dark and cold? That speaks of sorrow and sings of pain? What is this place, my heart cries in? What is this place?
The darkness is over taking the sleeping body. The enclosed space circling his thoughts like a washing machine. His lungs struggle to breathe, his head aches. Are his eyes closed, or is it so dark it seems as if he is sleeping. Unaware of where he is, his heart pounds faster and faster.
”Luanna!” His dry throat screams.
