Chapter 3: The Awakening
Lori stirs as she begins to awaken, she didn't want to wake up, for the dream she was dreaming was wonderful...she was laying in a huge bed, the feel of silk sheets upon her body...soft music playing.
But as she slowly awakens she finds herself blindfolded in the center of a bed once again, her ankles and wrists bound. She could see nothing, nor hear nothing. Her body ached, the muscles cramped where she wasn't use to being stretched. She could feel the cool flow of air across her bare skin. The sensuous sensations her body had experience flooding her memory. Lori knew fulfillment had pour from her body for the first time. Closing her eyes inside the blindfold she envision a powerful light, knowing that light was her positive energy...
Yet the moon is also full...and the darkness that comes with the moon she wants to be able to turn to it...glow in it's light as it fills her...she wants to become entranced with it as this man has brought out some of the darkness...she wants this man and darkness to consume her once again...with that thought! The door creaked open and she turned slightly trying to follow the sound. She hears him enter and leave and returns again. She knows he has placed something on the floor, perhaps several things but not sure what they are...She knew she should be feeling fear but she found the not knowing what will happen next was exciting her. She also knew he was there watching her. What was he doing standing there? Why didn't he come over to her? What was he planning now? All these questions running through her mind.
She heard the sound of a match being struck, then she could smell the sulfur as it burned and was extinguished. The smell was soon replaced with that of cinnamon; and she knew he had lit a candle. Still, no sound, nor touch.
Suddenly she heard movement as he approached the bed, and she felt the blindfold being slipped off her eyes. Her eyes starting to adjust to the soft light in the room, and standing next to the bed she looked into his eyes once again, but as she looked she wasn't feeling the hatred, anger she once did, she no longer wanted revenge but to let him into her soul and hide nothing from him.
