Darkroom Diaries : Whispers In the Fog
~Darkroom Diaries~ 5
He stood at the window, the fog curling around the Glass like it was alive, like it followed him.
Raina sat on the edge of the bed, eyes fixed on him. The silence between them felt heavy, like an unspoken deal.
He hadn't told her his name yet.
She only called him "Unknown."
And he never corrected her.
Raina Mitra | FL
I should be scared of you.
Unknown Person
You were...once.
(Softly).
Raina Mitra | FL
(She blinked. Her breath caught).
What do you mean-once ?
He turned, his face half-shadowed by the dim light.
Unknown Person
There's some,thing about me you remember. Even if your mind doesn't.
He came closer, his step slow and deliberate. She could hear the sound of the floor cracking under his weight... and something else. Her own heartbeat.
When he reached her, he knelt, gently taking her hand, as if it was the mos fragile thing in the world.
Unknown Person
Your fingers used to draw me long before you ever saw me.
Raina Mitra | FL
You talk like you belong to me...
He looked up, eyes unreadable.
Unknown Person
I do. I always did.
She shivered, not from fear. For something else.
His hand traced the line of her wrist, where paint still clung to her skin.
His touch was warm. Too warm.
Raina Mitra | FL
This is't normal...
Unknown Person
No, it's not normal.
(low voice).
You didn't asked for normal. You asked for me.
She didn't remember saying that. But her body learned in before her mind could catch up. His breath was against her collarbone now.
And than, he said it.
Raina Mitra | FL
(Her body Frozen).❄
Kael...?
It echoed in her chest like thunder. That name.
Suddenly, flashes hit her mind : -
A night bathed in candlelight.
A whisper against her lips.
A shadow melting into her body.
Pleasure. Pain. A Promise.
She gasped, backing away.
Raina Mitra | FL
What did you do to me ?
Kael
You asked me never let you forget.
So I become part of what you fear... and what you crave.
Kael
Let me remind you, Raina. Slowly. Deeply. Until your skin remembers what your heart tried to erase.
Raina Mitra | FL
(Her knees weakened, and she trapped between fear, desire and a mystery that burden fire).
Raina Mitra | FL
Raina's thought : (My dreams start into reality. My body begins to respond to memories my mind can't access. And...Kael ? He's not A stranger from the fog. He may be tied to a darkness... she fall into again).
Disha | Raina's best friend
Rsina...
( Disha waved from across the hall). You Okay? You Look...hunted.
Raina Mitra | FL
I'm just tired, ( trying to smile ).
She sat the window, canvas in front of her.Without thinking, her fingers started . Charcol in hand. sketching.
Disha | Raina's best friend
Ooooh... someone's drawing her mystery man again.
Raina Mitra | FL
( Raina blinked ).
It was him again.
Kael.
Always... Kael.
Everyone else had gone to sleep. The only light came from her desk lamp. She had just removed her kurti, walking slowly towards her towel. Then_
Raina Mitra | FL
( She gasped, clutching the towel ).
How did you get in ?
Kael
( Emerging from shadow )
I was never out.
He steps closer, his gaze dragging over her like a slow flame.
Raina Mitra | FL
This is not okay... This can't be.
Kael
You wanted to forget me, Raina.
But your body remembers.
Every time you're alone...
It's call me back.
He brushed his finger down her soulder.
She didn't move. Couldn't.
Raina Mitra | FL
Why me...?
Kael
Because you asked for the kind of love that comes with a little madness.
