The Puppeteer Part 3

The Puppeteer - the night of escape 2

"I-ill go up first,  come up when I g-gave you the signal.. "

Emily nod.

Then he slowly open the door,  it was dark outside too.  He walk out to the small hallway and close the door behind him.

He inhaled deep.  It's extremely quiet at this hour until he can hear his own breath. It's dark but he could see properly as he got used to it.  Slowly he climb up the stair,  one step after another,  and there's no sounds of his footsteps as well. He can walk very quietly and that helps him in many situations,  scavenging for food,  escaping his trainers,  killing his target.. And some more..

He is scared..  And never thought this day would have come..  The day he will betray his master. He got this twisted feelings inside him..  One side of him are scared of him.. Scared of how he will get punished and what will he take from him..  William took his fingers,  his eye,  he wouldn't hesitate to take more until he got nothing and dispose him off where he would never be found or even known to be exist..

But another side of him,  despite knowing all the pain and fear he had,  having, and will go through,  does not care that much anymore and it seems all the pain and hatred is the fuel for him to stand up and try something to deny his master. He took his eye and some of his fingers.. So what?  He still survived right?  No matter what he will take next,  Zylen is going to survive another day. He can do it

After all these years fulfilling whatever his master wants,  this time he wants to do what he wants,  what Isaac wants: to help his Emily.  Isaac is the person he truly loved, the person he should obey and trust, not to his master who controlled him all the time and force him to do things that he don't want to. He never wanted to be the person he is right now. He never wanted to hurt people, he never wanted to be such animal. He wants to be someone kind and strong just like Isaac.  And the strength of doing this for Isaac drive him stronger.

As he reach the hallway he slowly reach to the main door,  as he grasp the door handle the voice that he was expecting call him out from his back "Slut"

.. Shit..

He paused.  Slowly turn around,  and heading to the direction of the voice,  the living room. William is sitting on his couch with only his cigarette fire as the light in the dark space. And all the courage he had almost felt like it had been swallowed by the fear once he is upon his master.  He is always so scared of him.. And he wish he did not felt that way

"Don't just stand there,  come here"

He slowly walk towards him. He look down to the floor as the safe space has been removed by his own very step. William grab both of his hands and pull him,  forcing him to sit on his lap.  Zylen yelp and looks shock as he look down to his own sprawling legs.  It never felt safe to be so close with William.

.. Why did he do this.. Did he find out..

"Still got nightmares?" He asked "look at me when I'm talking to you"

Zylen quickly look up to his face. Their electric eyes meet eachother.  And it makes William smirks. He out down the cigarette,  and recharge out for something else

.. But how..  Where did I messed up?..

.. Or he just messing around with me like he always did isn't he?..

"Why are you so quiet?  Still not comfortable with me after so many years living in my house?" Zylen didn't reply,  but he was shock to heard a clink,  like a metal bump into something.  He trembles in fear "M-master.. " it could be a knife or an iron rod

.. He's gonna end me?  He's going to punish me.. No.. No..  Please no..

Zylen shut his eye,  when William shoved the metal object towards his face.
