A minor setback

(Isla's POV)

It was like hell for me to escape my captives, I didn't have a clue where I was but I was glad the people who took me decided to abandon me in some sort of a cabin. It looked like a cabin but it had an underground outlet which I found out a few years back when I got lost in the forest. I knew the area like the back of my hand hence finding my way home was a piece of cake

It was odd how no one caught me knowing full well they obviously took me as some slave. I ran back home without looking back. I didn't even notice that i was bare feet, that was the least of my worries and I wasn't willing to go back and find out whatever happened to my shoes hence running away was what I wanted.

Reaching the grounds of my humble home I exhaled in relief as I soon came to a halt resting my hands on my knees as I panted, and gasped for fresh air. I was exhausted and my breathing was too rapid that I swore my heart would rip out of my chest from heavy breathing

"I...I should go in ''I said to myself and pushed forward. I was tired and my legs felt as if they werent mine but I did what I could until I reached the front door to my small house which was a little secluded from the rest of other houses. Ours was built deep in the woods surrounded by tall trees which hid our cottage like house hence getting inside I thought my worries were over, at least a little scolding from Jeena would fade however what greeted me immediately I stepped my feet in the house was a tight slap across my face which made me stumble backwards and hit my head to the wall and fell on the floor close to the small wooden table which had a lamp on it. 

"How could Isla!"my sister yelled in anger, she sounded as if she had been crying and was actually waiting for my arrival. I was stunned at her sudden action which left me shocked as I held my left cheek which burned a lot. The slap was so much that hot tears left my eyes and flowed down my face as I slowly lifted my head to look at Jeena, pushing hair off my face. I opened my eyes and met with Jeena's angry eyes. Her eyes were a crimson red burning with fury and her posture was something I've never seen before which made me even more confused as I slowly rested my bleeding hand on the table and tried to push myself up. The glass pieces from the broken lamp had shattered to the floor and like I fool I landed hard with my hands on the floor hence the pieces were embedded in my flesh causing me to bleed badly

"This...this is how you repay me...for keeping you safe...for loving you and protecting you!''my sister cried out as she fixed her shape eyes at me. I was shaking as I tried to balance on my feet, my chest tightened as I felt the knot in my heart twisting from guilt. I was a disobedient girl, despite everything my sister told me i disappointed her and did something which would endanger my life but it wasn't my fault

"I'm...I'm so sorry I know I was supposed to hide...but...Parker caught me and locked me away...please jeena don't be angry"I remarked sobbing as tears flowed even more, I was ashamed of my actions and the disappointed look I saw on my sister's face made me lower my head as I silently stood there

"If that was the case then I wouldn't even have scolded you...Isla how could you...how long has this been going on?"she asked more calmly her voice wasn't stern like before and I thought she was now over her anger but when I thought about her question and looked up. My eyes widened in shock seeing the many pis scattered on the table, I recognized them at a glance and my heart raced knowing my little secret was out. I was caught and no one would stop my sister from locking me up forever

"I...I...well...please...Jeena...I-I'm sorry"was the only thing I could say to her as my head lowered even more. I was ashamed because I again disappointed my sister who did nothing but love me a whole lot

"This can't be...Isla how long have you stopped taking this huh?''she asked and reached to where I was in stride and grabbed me by the arm. She was angry as she slammed me against the wall and I got even scared. I was so scared that tears flooded my eyes and exploded flowing down my face like a river.

"Its...its not like that...please...I"

"How long!"she yelled so much that I flinched in fear and sobbed fiddling with my cold hands 

"T...three years back...Jeena I didn't want to take these..." I muttered shaking my head slightly.

"You don't know what you've done Isla...all these years you ruined everything have worked hard for to build...do you know what you are and the people who can hurt you if they found you?"she was like a wounded animal let out of it cage as she shouted at me on top of her voice and shoved me away. My sister never lost her cool in front of me but she was scary, her eyes were glowing a dark color which had me wiping my tears with the back of my hand not understanding why she was so persistent on me taking pills but I was wrong I hurt her

"I wont take those okay...I want to leave from here...I love you very much but I'd rather be some slave because its just the same staying with you"I muttered in a low tone as I continued to back away,

`This is the only safe place for you...stop being stubborn now because I'm going to lock you up right now until all this passes"I heard her say and I nodded at her words

"I'm sorry sis...I didn't mean to"I said apologetically hoping she could overlook my mistakes. Her anger was justified. I had no say anything she was right. I ran out of the house hoping to be by myself and let my sister cool down. I promised to apologise to her and do all the chores or make her some of her favorite meals later on. hence I walked to the back of the house to talk to the flowers when suddenly I felt someone attack me from behind hitting me with a log so much that I fell back on the dusty ground groaning as I reached for for the back of my head and there was hot liquid dripping down staining my hand as the pain intensified so much that lifting my head seemed like a challenge

"Bring her to me"I heard the same familiar voice from last time I was taken to Parker's abandoned mansion and before I could hear more or open my eyes to see who the commanding voice belonged to, I passed out and what happened after that was a mystery.
