Davina’s Pov:-
I looked around, and my heart began to beat rapidly against my ribcage, I walked closer towards the wall for a better view and a wave of terror rushed over through my body.
“Oh my god!” I whispered as my stomach whirled inside while looking at the horrible view in front of me.
The wall had huge chains attached to it and at the right corner, there was a dirty toilet. The wall where the chains are attached was covered with blood, it was clear that whoever was here was brutally tortured, even the chains had blood on them.
In front of the huge chains, there was a dirty slim mattress and a plate with raw meat laid on it and a mug of water placed beside the plate. As I looked around I saw blood at the corner of the mattress, I stepped closer and saw a finger laying there.
I gasped loudly, “Jesus!” I stared at it with wide eyes and my breathing began to go weak.
The place had a terrible smell and when I looked closer at the wall, I noticed marks on the wall as if the person drew on the wall with their fingernails. Flies were flying over the blood and raw meat also at the finger, it was horrible to look at.
I swallowed hard while staring at the blood and finger, I turned to the left side and a gasp left my mouth when my eyes landed on the corpse lying in blood. I stepped closer while my heart was beating rapidly, sweat began forming on my forehead and my head pounded with tension. I covered my nose as the smell of the corpse hit my nose.
It was in a decomposing state; the face of the corpse was destroyed and as I stared at the dried out blood and flies around it nausea hit me. I quickly turned around and covered my mouth and took a few steps away from the smell.
Looking at the horrible view, I rushed out of that room and walked back to the place where I fell, I looked around for something to climb up and get the hell out of here but I could find nothing. The anxiety kept increasing while my legs kept shivering in fear, I’ve never seen something this horrible in my entire life.
I have to tell Arthur about this, I thought while chewing my lower lip and looked around. I walked towards the mud wall; I tried to climb by putting my feet on the floor while digging my fingers into the mud for a grip. I placed my right foot up and slowly moved my feet off the ground; I tried to move my feet ahead, I slipped and fell down with a thud.
“Ah,” I groaned while holding my left knee,
I glanced down and saw few drops of blood coming out of my knee, “Fuck,” I groaned as I tried to get up.
“Oh, it hurts,” I whined in pain,
“Come on, Davina… you can do this,” I said to myself while trying to get up from the ground, I limped towards the wall and tried to climb it again.
You can do this; I kept saying this to myself as I put my foot up and dug my fingers into the mud and moved forwards. I put my foot forward and tripped again but I tightened the grip and balanced myself.
“Come on,” I mumbled while I kept climbing.
Finally, I climbed it with great difficulty. I reached the upper ground and got up from the land while groaning in pain, I had to take support from the tree while getting up from the ground. The pain in my knee was making it impossible to walk fast; the sun was setting and the light was becoming low and low.
Jesus, I have to get out of here… fast,
As I kept walking in the direction of the mansion, I felt as someone’s following me behind. I turned back and there was no one but I could feel someone’s gaze on me. I quicked my steps while glancing back, I kept breathing hard and the anxiety was making my legs week.
Whatever I saw back there kept flashing in front of my eyes, I must inform Arthur, tell him everything that I saw there. There’s a corpse there, Who was that? And Who killed that person? What is that place?
I had tons of questions running in my head but one thing was sure, something horrible happened on this island.
Whoever the culprit is, he’s still roaming around, looking at that place I could say no one is safe here, we need to leave this place as soon as possible.
I kept walking faster and faster, it was completely dark now and the feeling of being followed was increasing and I felt scared and tense. My legs were shaking and aching in pain and tears began to form in my eyes as fear of getting caught by the person kept increasing inside.
I saw the place and knew that there’s a corpse in it. What if the killer targets me now? The question popped inside my head and it made me even tenser.
As I reached closer to the mansion, I saw bodyguards roaming here and there as if searching for someone, I noticed Arthur and Coop talking to each other. Arthur had a furious expression on his face while Coop had clam one, I raised my hand and was about to call them but I tripped over and fell down.
I cried in pain while trying to get up, I turned and pulled my knees up, As I began rubbing the area where I got hurt I noticed something moving among the trees. I stopped crying and stared into the darkness; I saw it. The person dressed in all black, it was a man, I could say that seeing the clothes and height. His grey eyes were the only thing I could see in the darkness. He had a black cloth around his face seeing his eyes, and he was staring right at me.
I swallowed hard, my heart stopped breathing and Air wasn’t reaching my lungs even though I was taking deep breaths.
“Boss,” Someone screamed, I could hear multiple footsteps reaching me but I couldn’t tear my eyes off those grey ones. They held a warning in them, and it was crystal clear, that intense stare made my insides shiver in terror.
“Davina!” Arthur called, But I kept staring at those eyes while my body began shivering in fear and slowly black dots began to appear in front of my vision.
“Davina, Look at me,” Arthur yelled while shaking me.
I stared at those grey orbs, which were screaming at me that he would come after me, and I’m no longer safe.
“He will come for me!” I whispered while I lost my consciousness.
