Suddenly a ringing in my ear brought me back, I\u2019m in my apartment, Leo\u2019s on my bed right beside me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I move to see my watch, he growls and tries to bite the sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was it all a dream?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A knock at my door wakes me up, stumbling out of bed, did I get hit by a bus?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My head hurts with more pain than I ever thought possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who is at the door? What day is it? Who am I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another knock,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I shout, clearly patience is not their strong suit. Running to the door while tying my robe, and making sure I\u2019m not half naked. I can hear chatting through the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I make sure to peer through the eye hole in the door, a man is looking right at me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miss, I need you to step outside the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A serious tone, like the one my mom would use when I did something absolutely terrible that she deemed disrespectful and not okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a moment,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I replied back, as I threw on a pair of pants, and made sure I was fully dressed before whatever was happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My heart began to flutter, the lack of memory, along with this man\u2019s serious tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happened? What could I have done? What did the darkness make me do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I opened the door, releasing my fear with a deep exhale,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hi, I\u2019m Katie, how can I help you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma\u2019am you\u2019re under arrest for assault of a private detective. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to remain silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My body froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mind froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The darkness kept me warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It knew this would happen, and the darkness seemed to be winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pulled out his handcuffs, placed my hands together behind my back, and secured them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I couldn\u2019t say anything if I wanted to\u2026 I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I DID NOT DO ANYTHING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Want to know what happens next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tune in next Wednesday for the Chapter 10!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blessings,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With light and love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stay true, stay weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
