HIM

2.

"Daddy! Mommy! Where are you?"

I look around the house to show them the picture I drew of us. I know that they will be proud of me since this has been the best one yet! Hmmm... Will they stick it on the fridge door like all the others or will this go somewhere more special? Well, I hope I can put it somewhere special since I worked on it for like 30 whole minutes! That's a long time if you ask me...

That's why it's weird that mommy and daddy haven't looked for me because normally they do...

Light.

Why is there light?

There's supposed to be darkness...

I feel a sharp pain coming from my wrist but it's not like the pain before I slipped into darkness. This is different. 

I open my eyes and instantly close them again. Gosh, why is it so bright? Why am I not dead?!

Cautiously I open them again and I'm faced with a bright room. It looks like an operation room though. I explore the room further with my eyes and an uneasy feeling crawls up my skin by all that red dried-up substance on the walls.  

Could it be blood? No... C'mon (y/n) think positively. Maybe it's tomato sauce?

Restraints are holding me back, just when I was about to move. W-Wait wh-what? What is happening? Where am I? C'mon, don't let it be that shithole I was in before... Since he never turned the lights on in that room that  I was chained in, it could be an option.

Please... Please, I'm somewhere else, just not there...

Rumbling comes from the door... Someone is coming here... Be strong...

Heavy footsteps... Silence...

It's a tall man, rather muscly. He's wearing a black hoodie that looks somewhat old and used. But the thing that throws me off the most is his blue mask with two painted on black holes that looked like he was crying black tears. He just looked overall creepy and unsettling.

Wh-What does he want from me? Who is he? Why is he wearing a mask? Big tears start flowing down my cheeks and I find myself hyperventilating. Why do these things always happen to me?

He sighs and shakes his head. He steps closer, which makes me whimper and just sob even more. 

"Please...Please don't hurt me. Please. Just let me go. Please. I beg you! Ple-"

"Can you please just shut the fuck up?! God...Just be quiet! Is that so difficult??!!" he spats at me. It makes me instantly shut up. Silently I continue crying. 

He unshackles me being careful not to touch me. Then he takes a step back and looks like he's waiting. I just lay there unsure about what I should do. Does he want me to stand up or is he testing me?

"Could you be slower? Get up! Ugh..." He yanks me up by my arm and drags me with him through the door. He pushes me into a car and puts a blindfold on my eyes. I've never shaken so hard in a long time. Soft sobs escape my lips and I'm digging my nails into my palms. 

We drive for like an hour in utter silence before I feel him park the car. He gets out and comes over to my side and grabs my upper arm to take me out of the car. He takes my blindfold off so I can see the distressing wooden cabin surrounded by the woods. 

Still, without saying anything to me, he drags me into the cabin. The room that looks like the living room is equipped with a comfy looking sofa facing a little television and a wooden dining table with four seats. He sits me down in one of those seats and sits down facing me.

I look at the table because I'm too scared to look at him. We sit there for about five minutes before he breaks the silence.

"So listen and look at me" He lifts my chin with his glove covered hand. "And stop crying or I will give you a reason to cry. So I'm Jack and you'll be staying here with me if you want or not. And if you ask yourself why I took you with me after killing that fat fuck you were living with and saved you from suicide, well my answer is that I felt like it. You're not entitled to ask any questions or your situation here will get worse because you don't want to see me when I'm mad."

He places a shiny object on the table which takes me some time to recognize. A scalpel...

"Now I have some rules (y/n)" I'm taken aback by him knowing my name while he bends over the table to get nearer to my face. "If you don't follow them I won't hesitate to slit your throat" He traces my throat with the scalpel, being careful not to apply too much pressure. I softly whimper and I barely can hold my tears back.

"Rule number one. Don't you ever dare to touch my mask. Understand? Never. Rule number two. You will not disobey or question me in any way. I will not tolerate it. Rule number three. You will never try to escape or it will end very badly for you. Rule number four. You don't enter my room without my permission. And the final rule. Never forget I'm not your friend. I'm your worst nightmare"

He comes even closer almost touching my nose with his mask. He reaches to his mask and unveils the lower part of his face. Devilishly he smirks at me and makes me tense up when I see his sharp teeth. 

"If keeping you is too inconvenient I'll make the light in your eyes disappear" Slowly he licks his teeth and backs off a little.

I gulp and grip the table. My breath is shaky and I just want to be left alone. He backs completely off and sits on the chair.

"So is everything clear? If not I would love to repeat it but in a not so nice way."

I shake my head and I look at my hands. A low chuckle escapes him.

"I love your expression when you're terrified" 

That said he stands up and walks towards the corridor that probably leads to the other parts of the cabin. I sit there, still in shock about his last comment. He puts his hand against his forehead and softly shakes his head. I hear him whispering something to himself but I'm unable to hear what he said.

"Are you always this slow? Stand up now or don't you want me to show you your room and the bathroom huh?! Ughhhh" He grumbles.
