Farm House

Fighting For Freedom

Ellie groaned while she was pushed hard against the kitchen counter, the strange man pulled her packback off and forced her arms behind her back. The man grabbed some rope and tied her wrists together, she could no longer move her arms. Her head rested against the counter, she turned her head to one side so she could see Joel. He was still trying to break free from his bounds, he looked so angry. Ellie tried to kick the man with her feet, but it wasn't long until her legs were bound together too. She was roughly pulled up from the counter and forced to looked at the strange man, he then gave her the most cruel smile. 

" Do you have any last request?" Leatherface asked. 

" How about letting me go!" Ellie replied, she spat at him which earned her a slap across her face. " You fucking freak!"

" Oh I like you, you've got spirit girl!" Leatherface replied with a chuckle. " It's a shame I've got to kill you, but I'm getting hungry..."

" Then eat something normal!" Ellie frowned.  

" How boring!" Leatherface yelled. " You've never enjoyed the flesh of others, have you?!" 

" I'd rather eat dog shit!" Ellie snarled.

The man laughed and grabbed a knife from the counter, he held it against Ellie's throat while he licked his lips. Her eyes grew wide, she could feel the knife's cold blade pressing against her skin. The man went onto tell Ellie about how he had lured lone children into the Farm House, he promised them food and shelter for the night. Most of the children were orphans or they were with their younger siblings, some had families with them. He told her he had killed over twenty children since he moved into the Farm House, he had feasted upon their flesh and boiled their bones to make broth for his soup. 

" I gave them false security and hope." Leatherface said.

" You bastard..." Ellie said.   

Ellie was disgusted, this man deserved to die for everything he had ever done to others. He told her how he would bound the children and hang them until they were near dead, he would then gut them for his supper while they were still alive. She trembled at his words, all those poor children he had butchered. Leatherface went into to tell Ellie and Joel about Rachel, his words chilled Ellie to her bones. He had murdered Rachel's Father and lingered outside of her home for days to intimidate her, he then stalked her each night until he murdered her in her bedroom. 

" Oh Rachel, lovely Rachel." Leatherface said with a smile. " How she screamed for her Father while I cut off her leg, I left her with a pretty smile on her face." 

" You're nothing but an animal!" Ellie frowned. 

" Listen, you don't have to do this!" Joel said, he pulled at his bound hands once again. " We know who you are, just don't hurt her. Take me instead, let Ellie go!"

" You're too old, I like my meat young and tender." Leatherface said. 

Ellie was jerked forward, she stumbled over her own two feet while she was led towards the doorway of the kitchen. She knew where the man was taking her, the hangman's noose. She struggled and dragged her feet along the floor, she could hear Joel yelling at the man. Joel begged the man to let her go, but his pleas were ignored. She was lifted up onto a chair, she continued to struggle while the man put the noose over her head. She felt the noose tighten around her throat, tears began to form in her eyes while she looked over at Joel, he was using all of his strength to try and pull the radiator's pipe from the wall. 

Their eyes met for a brief moment before the strange man cleared his throat, her bottom lip trembled when the man rested his foot against the chair. Ellie didn't want to die, she wanted to live and see The Jackson Community. She wanted to learn how to swim and play the guitar, she didn't want to leave Joel behind in this cruel world.
