Insanity

Insanity, Chapter 2

Chapter 2

His run quickly slowed to a walk as he got near the car. I could feel my heart pounding throughout my entire body.

He stood outside the passenger door. His hands were cupped around his eyes as he stared in through the window. His face looked emotionless, completely blank.

"I need help!" I yelled to him.

His face remained without expression.

"Hello?! Please! Please help me, I'm trapped in here!"

He stood silently, just watching me.

Suddenly he burst into a violent rage, banging on the window, screaming like a madman.

"I'm gonna get youuu!" he shouted. He voice was deep and rough, but he spoke in a playful tone, like when adults talked to babies.

I screamed, I cried, I begged him not to hurt me. I wasn't sure what I did to provoke him, but he definitely wanted to hurt me, I could see it in his cold, crazy eyes.

He struck the window repeatedly, each hit harder than the last. The glass began to crack.

Once I got to the car I peered in through the window to see if the woman had been hurt.

"You alright?" I asked her. She didn't respond, she just stared at me, she seemed frightened.

"Hello?! Can you hear me? Are you hurt?"

Still no response.

"I heard you screaming, please answer me, are you hurt?"

Nothing.

Maybe she's in shock, I thought, being in a car crash would be a traumatic experience for anyone.

"I'm going to get you out of there, don't worry-"

"Aaaaaaahh!"

She suddenly became hysterical, her scream was almost deafening.

I stumbled backwards in surprise.

She pulled at her seat belt, trying to rip it off, almost as if it were a leathery black snake wrapped around her body.

She looked at me, I could see nothing but fear in her eyes, like a helpless rabbit would look at a big, hungry fox.

She pleaded for her life, I couldn't understand why. I didn't threaten her in any way.

"I'm not going to hurt you!"

Her blood-curdling screams continued.

I tried opening the passanger door.

Shit.
I whispered to myself.

The door was locked.

"You need to unlock the door!" I tried explaining to the panicked woman, no use.

I had no choice, I picked up my gun and used the stock to break the window.

* * *

The window shattered.

"I'm gonna get youuu!" he yelled again, in that same playful tone.

He reached in, trying to grab me. I had nowhere to run. He grabbed my hair and pulled me towards him.

I panicked, throwing my hands around aimlessly, trying to fighting him off.

I got ahold of his arm, I scratched him, I could feel his blood beneath my nails.

He grunted, his grip on my hair loosened.

* * *

The window shattered.

Her screams grew louder and more frantic.

"Don't be scared, I'm only here to help, everything's going to alright." I said, trying to comfort her.

I reached in, trying to unlock the door from the inside.

Suddenly, she grabbed me, digging her nails into my skin.

"What are you doing?!" I cried out, "Let go!"
She pulled my hand to her mouth and bit me.
