Fear of the darkness


What am I supposed to do? she wondered, while she supposed that the new day had already come. Amelia was certain she had slept the whole night and looked forward to seeing the sun’s rays. She already missed the blue sky and the deep blue color of the ocean.
The moment she got out from the closet and realized there was still dark, she wanted to scream. She pulled her long hair away from her pale face and took a deep breath, doing her best to abstain from panic-stricken reactions. She walked to the door and placed her head on the cold surface while paying attention to every single sound. She used to fear the darkness. She missed the daylight and the man that had promised he would stand by her side forever.
The following minutes she was able to understand there were some unexpected changes. The heat was gone; the cold air kept assaulting her face and the naked parts of her skin, giving birth to many silent, sneaky questions about the place she was in. She didn’t mind taking off her black dress and high heels.
What the hell, she whispered and headed toward the balcony of the cabin where she opened the door slowly, and stepped outside.

The dense fog had covered everything while the freezing atmosphere started making her feel like being trapped in a cage where the beast of the dark would meet her soon. She felt unwelcomed and the darkness kept showing her that she would remain scared for too long. As time passed by, she couldn’t stand the cold atmosphere.
Amelia was certain there was something terrible going on, and couldn’t wait, she was determined to discover the truth.
She opened the door and could still hear nothing and no one.
You have to do this, she thought and walked outside the cabin heading toward the stairs while she could only hear her heartbeat.
The doors of the cabins were closed and she didn’t dare open them since she was sure she had to find the crew and her lover first, so she rushed to go back to the ship’s bridge.
Every step, every breath made her feel like being in the worst place in the world. She had never imagined she would experience a situation where you have no one by your side.
Amelia tried to be quite and calm but the dense fog, that started surrounding the place she had entered, changed her mood. Out of the blue, she ran down the stairs and headed to the first exit she saw. She couldn’t remember where she had left her cell phone, and she really needed a flashlight to guide her steps.
There was no one chasing her, but her mind liked teasing her soul, disturbing her positive mood, while increasing her agony and the fear of the darkness…
