Day 4 cont
Nina
We were completely drenched from head to bottom by the time we neared the camp site and it was still pouring heavily.
If one's not careful, they could even be carried away in this downpour. It's like it is raining cat and dogs over here.
As if on cue, a heavy wind came and blew us away and like a twig I was made to fly away but before I was whisked away back to the jungle, I was held by a strong arm.
It turned around to see who it 2as and yes of course, it was Mike.
My saviour. He is somehow mysteriously always there to rescue me.
I've become such a damsel in distress it seems.
But I also thought it was the professor until I turned around to see Mike. He is also drenched as well. All of us are to be exact.
I stood there, staring at him with my water drenched eyes.
What exactly is he doing in the rain?.
We both stood there, staring at each other in the rain.
It felt like that moment we were two lovers are standing in the rain, staring at each other with so much love in their eyes soon, they will lean in to kiss each other.
But I know it's not that moment as we are just friends.
I felt his hand around my waist as he pulled me closer to him and our chest meets and that made me freeze.
I couldn't see the look in his eyes because of the downpour but I saw him lean in close to my face and just like that, my eyes closed on there own accord.
Before I could register what was going on, I was yanked away and I fall onto something rather hard.
I slowly opened my eyes to see the professor.
Professor Abraham gave me the most angriest look I could ever think of before pulling me with him, not caring if I could actually meet up with his pace.
I turned around to see that Mike is still standing there in the rain looking dumbfounded.
It was like the professor knew I was looking back at him as he tugged on my arm and I slipped and fell on the ground.
I could feel the sting on my elbow and knee but he didn't wait for me to brace myself as he yanked me up and keeps on dragging me.
Even with the pain in my knee and elbow, he didn't stop walking like he was about to fly to the skies while dragging me with him.
I want to tell him to stop but I couldn't as I don't want to be a victim to his anger as of now.
So I just kept on following him or let myself be dragged away. Whatever you call it.
When he reached the camp site, most of the people have already found their safety and so, he headed straight to our tent.
To my surprise, he threw me into the tent as soon as we entered and I lost my balance once agan and I fell flat on my face.
I was sure I had sprained an ankle but before I could check, I felt him pull me up and he pins me to the wall.
"Why don't you want to listen to a simple instruction, why do you keep on testing my patience?" he growls in my ear.
He has pushed me to the wall and pinned my body with his, so I couldn't even move an inch.
"I think maybe you didn't hear what I said earlier" he continues.
Even though my eyes are shut, I could still feel his anger radiating from his body and voice.
"What did I tell you?" he asks.
I didn't know if I was supposed to answer him or not, so I just decided to keep quiet, just to be on the safer side.
But it turned out, I made the wrong decision.
"Speak up!" he barks, making me flinch, if that's possible while being literally pushed to the wall.
"You...you told me to stay away from him" my voice came out in a whisper.
"Speak up louder, I can't hear you" he barks again.
"You told me not to see him again" I blurt out, a little bit louder and my voice is chocked already with fear and not to talk I am on the verge of tears.
"Then why did you do so?" he asks.
He was just trying to help me as I was about to fall, that is what I wanted to tell him but I knew better than to say that.
"Cat got your tongue now, speak up" he screamed and pushed me more and I winced from the wounds I sustained.
"I'm sorry" I just couldn't help but cry out.
I didn't even make any mistake and yet, I am apologizing.
"No you're not, but I'm gonna make you be now" he says.
He let's go of me and I was happy for the personal space for a moment.
But then I see him unbuckling his belt.
Just what exactly is he going to do?.
Is he going to hit me with it?. No.
What if he is going to...
My thoughts were cut short when he pulled out the belt and made a fist of it in his hand.
"Sir, please, I'm sorry, I won't do it ever again, I promise" I cry out while trying to cover my body so that he won't hit me. Not that it would help anyways.
He just ignored my pleas and walks over to me.
I just shut my eyes, waiting for the whip to land but it didn't.
I look up and saw him standing before me.
He squats to my position and then raise the hand which has the belt on.
"Look here" he says, pointing at his hand.
I gulped as I stare at his hand.
"You know what it is, right?" he asks.
I was quick to nod.
There's no way I would want my body to be trashed with an belt.
"And I'm sure you know how I can use it on you, right?" he asks again.
I nod my head once again like a crazy person.
He moves his face so close to my face that our breaths are fanning each other.
"Now, if you dare defy my instructions once again, I'm going to tie you up on that bed and hit your butt till you can no longer sit for days" he says, pointing at the bed with his hands.
"Understood!" he says and I quickly nod my head
I quickly nod my head once again.
"Use words to answer me miss" he barks.
"Yes...yes Sir" I mutter.
"Now get up and change those clothes before you catch a cold" he says and walks away from me.
I lay there for a few minutes, shaking in fear.
I have never seen the professor this angry before. He was so so furious earlier.
Even more furious than when he saw us in the morning.
I wonder just what has gotten into him?.
He is acting so over protective and paranoid all the time.
I got up from the floor and walk over to my bag. Picking up a new pair of clothes, I head into the bathroom.
I didn't even bother to take a hot bath to ward off the cold away as I just change my clothes as walk out.
He was already sitting on the desk chair, reading, when I walked out.
He has also changed his own clothes.
I didn't even bother looking at his direction as I head up to bed.
It is still pouring like the sky's going to be split into two, so, I decided to get some rest.
With that, I hopped onto the bed and soon, a very exhausting sleep over took me.
Today's experience is also worth weighing a person down.
**********
All of a sudden, I opened my eyes to see that it was dark.
I had woken up because of the pain that I was feeling all over my body.
My face, my hand, my legs, even my intestines are hurting right now.
The places that I had wounded myself earlier hurt the most.
I try to move but I couldn't because it was even painful to even move.
"Help, please help" I cry out as the pain becomes unbearable.
My head is spinning and throbbing that I felt it would have been better if I should cut it and throw it away.
"Oh! It's hurting" I whined again.
I just wanted to get up and find myself a first aid but I couldn't even do that.
So, I just lay there, helpless, and crying for help.
Just like that, I started to see black and all my senses began to fade away.
Even though I was slipping into darkness, I was glad that I wasn't feeling more pains anymore.
