BLIND

ANGER

Only moans of sadness and sorrow were left in that Dark Place.

Flowers of misfortune bloomed on the body of the young man who had to endure everything alone.

It felt like being trapped in a maze of darkness. However, it was only the beginning of a tragic fate. He could never have imagined what was going to occur.

Furthermore, the younger man wished that the darkness disappeared, the one which crept upon him to swallow him as a whole. There wasn't much that he could do in that gloomy place. He preferred to blend into the dark instead of trying to overcome it.

He chose to let it control him because he considered this as the only wat tp survive. It all started when his brother Laurent left him in the care of a friend; a friend is a lot to say. In Laurent's eyes, this man was like a Brother. William was his name. However, the soul of this man was filled with animosity and hatred, which were projected onto the poor Damon, who had no choice but to stay in this miserable place.

His mind was twisted, unfortunately. William's hatred was meant for Laurent, as, because of him, his first love has been stolen.

"What are you doing?" William asked Damon. He talked to Damon with hatred, thinking that he couldn't be with the first love because of Laurent, who stole his woman and chocked her to death.

"Cry! You should beg for mercy, Damon!" 

He exclaimed with more force and disgust in his glance. He couldn't stand that arrogant worm.

"What a bad boy you are, huh? You made me very angry today."

He continued as Damon became the target of his cruel and hideous behavior. As a result, Damon fell into deep darkness full of violence.

"OH, Damon, now you finally cry with that pitiful face. YOU exhilarate me when you cry like that. It's like seeing Laurent crying and asking me to stop HAHAHA. I'm disgusted when I see your face. You look too much like HIM."

As a consequence, Damon was trapped in the darkness, writhing in pain as his flesh was ripped away late at night. Even if he laid he always woke up in pain, but Damon still wished to live. 

He felt miserable, which made him desire to be loved. He felt his heart grow colder from the blood and wounds, and he learned to resign himself to his fate. 

At that moment, the pain, the suffering, the loneliness, the hunger, the depression and the fear accumulated over the years began to be felt.

Today William was very nervous. He exaggerated with the punishments and torments. He hasn't cared for Damon for a long time, letting him feed with rats found in the cell. Damon had no longer any strength in his body due to the hunger and the pain inflicted by William. He began to feel very tired and wouldn't want to fall asleep. He was afraid that when he closed his eyes, he wouldn't be able to wake up.

Unfortunately, fatigue took control over him. He closed his eyes slowly and fell into a deep sleep. What a feeling of peace, tranquility, and warmth he could feel in this dream! Damon felt so good that he wouldn't want that dream to end.

This garden full of roses delights him so much. It's as if he could feel the petals by touch, and he could smell the roses'pleasant scent. 

Everything seemed so real. Going further in this garden, he could see that a figure was approaching in the distance. It was a beautiful girl. Her skin shined in the shadows of the moonlight.

"Who are you ?." Damon asked curiously, but the girl didn't answer; she just looked at the moon. He couldn't see the girl's face as much as he tried to. It was all in vain. But it was not a problem for him because this girl gave him a feeling of peace and warmth.

IT WAS LIKE HIS HEART COULD FEEL LOVE.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" He continued with this question, Damon tried to remember if he felt those feeling in the past years, especially if he loved someone in the past. He was busy thinking about the deepness of love. He remained disappointed as he didn't have the opportunity to experience these feelings or to be so attached to someone sentimentally.

WHY DOES HE FEEL THE NEED TO PROTECT THIS GIRL?.

TO LOVE HER?.

TO KISS HER?.

TO MAKE HER HAPPY?.

TO HAVE HER ?.

"I don't want to be persistent with questions or to make you feel compelled to answer me, but I need to understand these feelings I have right now." 

Damon explained calmly as he spoke. He feared that this girl was going to disappear or to get upset after all of his questions. 

He didn't want this, but, at the same time, he didn't know how to talk to a girl. 

All the women he met were immediately charmed by his beauty. He didn't have to count any of them. He had no interest in those women as he had in this girl. He just laughed at the thought.

Still, the question is, was this girl real? 

Or just an illusion imagined in his dream? Just the feeling that it might not be really hurt him. After that, he started to feel intense pain in his chest. 

He looked at her again and stared at her as she arranged her hair behind the ears. He could see her lips moving as if she was talking, but why couldn't Damon hear nothing? He could see that this girl speaks to him with great enthusiasm, and every time a smile appeared on her lips.

This girl started to walk away in the dark, but Damon wanted to stop her. Suddenly, his legs didn't want to move. 

"Wait, don't leave, please, listen, I want to know who you are, please turn your face towards me. I want to see your face! Please do not disappear! Tell me, what is your name? What is your name?! Would you tell me your name.?"

Fear and anxiety were the feelings experienced at that moment as he didn't want the girl to disappear. Maybe he wouldn't be able to see her at all.

At that moment, the girl stopped. It felt like she heard him screaming. Damon was happy that he was able to stop her. The girl turned towards him, but he couldn't see her face. Damon tried hard but in vain. He could only see those beautiful lips. He blushed as she moved.

"What did you say? I can't hear you! Come closer. " he told her, but the girl didn't move. At that moment, she smiled, saying only one word, then disappearing, leaving Damon's gaze to look for her. 

Still, in vain, at that moment, his eyes opened, letting him wake up. He gets up sitting on the hay bed, reminiscing about the dream he just had. 

He nervously laughed with his hand in his hair, "and, in the end, it's all gone... Oh.. but what delights me the most is that I managed to hear her speaking. "He explained to himself. 

" I've never heard such a sweet and beautiful voice in my life. After all the pain I've endured, it made me feel excited.It looked like Damon was proud of himself. 'I could hear her name... "He continued while lying on his back, looking up at a small window through which you could see the moon. With his hands on his lips, he continuously repeated the name of that girl." Annerissa. Oh, ANNERISSA. What a beautiful name... "
