Her Story

Chapter 21

I lay my head on the floor and sprawl out looking like a starfish as cuffs appear and attach to my wrists and ankles. As the final cuff locks my strength dies and the laughter tears through me, unforgiving and blood thirsty. I stand up and lunges at the door but the cuffs and chains keep me away from the door. 'that's going to hurt later.' I think as my back hits the floor. The cuffs dig into my wrists and ankles but I don't mind and keep struggling to try and get out. The need to draw blood strong and alluring but I wasn't trained or prepared to be a killer. Not yet anyway, I still had a long way to go. A couple days pass and the feeling disappears. I sit in the middle of the room tired and my body aching. The door unlocks and I look up to see Zalgo. "Let's take you back. They have been worried to expect so be bombarded with questions once you leave your room." He says picking me up. I nod my head and we return to my room. Zalgo ruffles my hair and I smile tiredly. He goes back to his Kingdom and I pull on a hoodie then go to my door and unlocks it. I step out and head to the kitchen keeping my gaze on the floor. I shove my hands into the pocket.  I walk down the stairs and steps into the dinning room. I look up and everyone is at the table. The conversations die as they slowly notice me standing there.  I ignore them and sits in the corner resting my head on my knees ready for the uproar of questions. The room erupts and I can't tell who is asking what or anything so I just stare at them blankly. I see Levi stand up and I watch him with careful eyes as he walks over his plate in hand. I brace my self ready to be hit with the plate but he just crouches in front of me and practically shoves a roll into my mouth. I cry out and grumble at him as he smiles innocently. "Geez no need to suffocate me with a roll if you hate me so much." I mutter under my breath teasingly. "Maybe next time don't hide in your room for three days with out explanation JD. Then I wouldn't have to try to kill you with food." Levi says. I roll my eyes and picks at the roll slowly. Levi sighs and pulls a piece off the roll and pops it into his mouth. I swallow and takes a bite myself humming happily at the warmth. Unknown to us the others had fallen silent and were watching us. "So JD, what were you doing in your room for three days?" Slender asks. I look at him and shrugs. "Sleeping. The days before I came here were crazy and I barely got any sleep. So I guess it finally caught up with me and I crashed." I lie through my teeth. "But you still seem tired." Jeff says. "Nightmares." Is all I say leaning my head back against the wall. Levi looks at me worriedly but I smile and wave off his worry. It was kinda true though, I did sleep and I was plagued with nightmares but I spent most of the time fighting to get out of the cuffs.
