I am not weak

Eyes widened and heart pounding so fast she stared at the dark hallway . Exhaustion overwhelming her , she dropped down to her knees . 

“I can’t run anymore . Let it end now ” , she muttered to herself . But deep inside her , she wanted to live , she wanted to get rid of all the issues suffocating her . She held her head tight , trying to control the pain , the pain of two voices shouting aloud in her head , one wanted desperately to live and another wished to end it now .

Then a gentle male voice muffled her thoughts . She released her head and relaxed .

“Everyone makes choices in life. Some bad, some good. It's called living, and if you want to bow out,  then go right ahead. But don't do it halfway. Don't linger in whiner's limbo. “ , said the voice and left her in dark deep silence .

She decided that she wanted to live . She was ready to face it . She stood up  managing to harness every ounce of hope and energy left in her . With slow trembling steps , she entered the hallway . Her eyes focused to the darkness and she scanned the hallway for any noise before she took another step . Out of no where , a sturdy hand gripped her and pulled her towards a pillar . Surprised and shocked , she tried to loosen herself out of his grip . He laughed out aloud and whispered in her ears , “You are so fragile . You are mine , there is no one here to help you ” and started molesting her . She cried for help until her throat went dry . It was then , anger rushed through her veins and she pushed him away from her . She then stood in a fighting stance facing him , growling .

“Interesting !” , he said and threw him over her . She dodged away at the right moment and swiftly turned back and held his long black hair from behind forcing him to kneel down .

“I am not weak ” , she muttered in his ears . A dagger materialized itself in her hand . Without even wasting a single moment , she plunged it into his neck and crushing his wind pipe . She then kicked the dead vessel away , pulling her dagger out and started walking .

Her victory was like a butterfly resting itself on you , momentarily .Then came few voices booming out of the darkness , which sent a chill down her spine . Angry curses and  villainous laughter  filled  her head . The torturous voices made her trip down and she fell down to the floor .Then everything turned silent . She stood up and started to build a protective brick wall  around her , in her mind .

“ You have learnt a new trick but very naïve . A brick wall ? Against us ? If you think this will prevent us from entering your head , you are a fool ” , came a voice and broke out laughing hysterically .She then heard something hitting her wall . Very soon , her wall started to cripple down .

“You are still weak my dear . You cannot outrun us . We are your inner demons and only weaklings like you invite us to stay with them ”  , said a voice .

Her wall soon turned to dust leaving her exposed to the 7 demons . She looked at the them , black figurines standing in front of her each brandishing a weapon . She started crying . They all smirked at her pitiful state .

They all rushed towards her like smoke and when they neared her , something powerful and big , like an energy shield spread itself out from her , throwing them away . They then managed to stand and stared at her with awe and shock .

She stood up and opened her eyes and pointed her finger towards them and said , “I am not weak . I am in command of my actions and not you .So , be gone ” . The resolve and authority in her voice demanded obedience and they all bowed and vanished into thin air .

A man in white robes stepped infront of her . “Well Done ! You took command of your state and you stopped depending on others for help and you have proved yourself worthy of surviving in this world .” , said the man and moved away from her .

The darkness was swept away by brightness and she walked towards her destiny with new resolve and courage .
