♥ Chapter 32♥
Aurelia Dusk.
"Why are you here?" I let out a sigh.
''Some son-of-a-bitch policemen put marijuana in my backpack, then said it was mine.'' I replied, with a tone of indignation. And you?
He looked down at his food again and didn't answer, leaving a mystery hanging in the air. I looked at my friends, who were staring at me in shock, their gazes reflecting the incredulity of the situation.
'' What? '' Hina gave a nervous little smile, trying to break the tension.
''The demon is looking at you very angrily,'' Dina muttered, almost unable to articulate the words in front of the intensity of the scene.
I looked at Lucian to see the anger shining in his eyes, and it scared the hell out of me. I was even more frightened when he stood up furiously and walked towards me without looking away.
'' Come with me now, damn it!!!! '' He shouted, banging on the table, his voice echoing through the canteen with a frightening intensity, like thunder ready to explode into a storm of fury. Each word was charged with an aggression that cut like sharp blades, making my heart race in sheer fear.
I stood up quickly, I didn't want to make him even angrier. As soon as I approached him, he grabbed my wrist so tightly that I had to bite my lip to keep from letting out a groan of pain.
I was dragged with frightening violence to our cell, the heavy silence around us making it clear that any attempt to intervene would be quickly suppressed. He pushed me so hard into the cell that I almost lost my balance and fell to the ground. Every step was like a sentence, every movement imbued with an imminent threat, and I found myself plunged into a vortex of anguish and despair as the darkness of the cell enveloped me like a sinister shadow.
'' Why the fuck were you talking to him?!!!! '' He advanced furiously towards me.
'' L-Lucian! '' A violent slap hit my face, causing my vision to blur for an instant. The pain reverberated throughout my body, echoing like a silent cry of despair.
It fucking hurt.
'' Answer me, damn it!!! Why were you talking to that new guy? You're mine! '' His voice erupted like thunder, each word a stab of fury that tore my soul apart and made me feel small in the face of his implacable wrath.
I was pushed so hard against the wall that my back ached, as if it were being pressed down by an avalanche of anguish and rage.
'' He... He talked to me and I.. I only answered his questions. '' My voice came out shaky, echoing in the cell like a lament in the midst of a storm.
The tension in the air was palpable, each word carrying a weight that seemed to drag us into an abyss of despair and desolation.
'' You're fucking mine! '' He held my jaw with suffocating force. ''Only mine!!! I don't want you talking to anyone!
I took a deep breath and opened my eyes, staring at him with determination, pushing hard on his chest.
'' And why not!!!? You can talk to other people and I can't, Lucian!!! Why can't I!!!? Just because I'm yours!
'' Exactly, fuck!!! '' He shouted back, furious.
The walls of the cell seemed to echo with the intensity of our exchange of words, each syllable laden with unbearable emotional weight.
'' I'm not the fucking Nebula who's going to give her pussy to anyone, for fuck's sake!!!! You're fucking crazy! I want peace, Lucian! Peace! I can't take it anymore, enough!!! You forbid me everything, while you can talk to everyone!!! '' I shouted, letting all my frustrations escape in a whirlwind of words, as if each one was a punch to the wall that separated us from freedom.
Our breathing was too labored, each exhalation an attempt to calm the whirlwind of emotions that enveloped us. He clenched his fist with overwhelming force, and I saw the veins in his neck pulsing with rage, as if he were on the verge of exploding in fury.
Without saying another word, he turned and walked out of the cell, leaving behind a trail of tension and despair. I let out a shaky sigh and slid to the floor, unable to hold back the tears that began to fall like a storm of despair.
The tears rolled down my face, a painful expression of the torrent of emotions that was consuming me inside. All the frustrations, anxieties and fears simply exploded inside me, forming a tumultuous sea of uncontrollable emotions.
I don't know how long I stayed there, lost in a sea of sadness and helplessness. But eventually I got up and climbed onto the bunk, seeking some kind of comfort in the solitude of my own embrace. I leaned against the wall and hugged my own body, seeking a sense of security in the midst of the emotional chaos that enveloped me.
From crying so much, I ended up falling into a deep sleep, letting myself be carried away into a world where worries and fears couldn't reach me, even if only temporarily.
