The Engineer's Obsession

Chapter 2

The days went by, I was already waiting for my death. Every day, they would show up and dance and I laugh like  crazy person. This place is starting to consume me, it's making me crazy. When will I die?

Though sometimes after dancing with the monsters, he would look for me. Maybe he's waiting for me to die out of starvation. But the thing is, everytime I wake up I'm not even hungry.

I don't feel the need to eat something or drink. Maybe I'm already dead? But, why is he checking up on me when I'm already dead? I thought he'll experiment and build something using my body? Nah, maybe I was too useless to be used.

I heard the music again, they're here. I peeked outside and saw him dancing again. What is he doing? What does he gain from dancing like that? I just can't think of any reason that's why I'm always laughing whenever I think of it.

Will he check up on me again? I don't think so. That should be better, I want to be alone right now. I swear I won't cry again, maybe I'll think of how to escape?

My thoughts were interrupted when the door opened. He entered the cabin as if he was looking for something. Finally, he turned his head towards me. He walked towards me, I froze.

I looked up his face, he's wearing a poker face under that round black glasses and a bucket hat of his. My heart beats fast that I can hear it pounding through my ear.

He raised his right hand, am I gonna get slapped? Is he going to kill me because I'm still not dead? I'm still frozen still, I don't know what to do because all I can hear is my heart.

He played with my hair, the next unusual thing he did was he placed his hand in my cheek as if feeling its warmth through his cold leather gloves.

Why is he doing this? My thoughts got interrupted again when he suddenly held his head. What's happening? Is he hurt? Why am I thinking of these?

"Yes mother Miranda" he uttered.

The next thing I knew was he left me without saying a word. Seems like he got called by mother Miranda. Is it telepathy?

I'm still frozen from where he left me, unable to process what happened. But when I finally be able to move, I shrugged it off. I feel my cheeks burning, I don't know why.

I thought that maybe I could try escaping through the other door while they're meeting mother Miranda. I turned the knob and opened the door.

It led me to the way to a kitchen. This cabin is old but I don't see dust and spider webs. It's just comfortable like someone has lived here but I think this was built way before I was born.

I saw a door near the stove. There was light coming through a small gap below. I think that also leads outside. I heard a little girl giggle outside. She whispered something but I can't understand. Should I check it out? Heisenberg's not here, maybe I could escape through there. Will he know?

I walked towards the door without having second thoughts. I opened it, the blinding light made me close me eyes.

My eyes adjusted to the brightness and I saw a girl standing right in front of me. She has a black hair coming down to her shoulder. She giggled again with a scary look on her face.

"Come play with me!" She uttered.

I don't know her but, why does she feel familiar? It's like I met her before but, I swear I haven't met anyone like her.

She was gonna drag me outside but my mind flashed with Heisenberg's scary face. I walked backwards, this isn't right. Why is there a girl here? Is she related to him?

"I.. I'm sorry, I can't" I immediately closed the door as if I was gonna die just by stepping one finger of my foot out there.

It bothers me that I was ready to die but neither do I want to die. Something's holding me back and telling me that I should stay, in the back of my mind.

I was frustrated by endless thoughts running through my mind and I defenselessly slept in the corner, yet again.

"Come play with me!" I heard her giggle.

My eyes flung open when I heard the giggle. Just who was that girl? Why is she always on my mind? Like literally, ON. MY. MIND.

I didn't realize that there was already music playing outside. I peeked out the window and the monsters who were dancing were already leaving. I didn't know when it became a routine for me to see them but, it just did. I'm starting to get crazy like them.

I got depressed because I didn't see him. Why do I want to see him anyway? I'm going to die because of him, for fuck's sake!

I stood up and went to bed, sat and stared at the wall. I stood up again wanting to go to the kitchen because I was bored but I was stopped by someone when they held my hand.

I looked back and was surprised. It's him, he's here. Am I gonna die now? Did he knew that I'm going to leave through the kitchen door? I closed my eyes accepting my fate of being dead.

Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes, I'm not dead. Well, who could open their eyes if they're dead? But anyway instead of dying, I was pulled and I'm next to his chest. I looked up to see his face, he wasn't wearing his hat and his glasses.

I stared into his hazel eyes with a tint of blue and amber near his pupils. I NEVER had the chance to appreciate his beautiful set of eyes as he was always wearing his glasses. I got lost in his eyes, it's like... pulling my soul.

My eyes widened suddenly when I felt a soft and warm lips crashed mine. I didn't know he could have such soft lips, I always thought it was dry but I was wrong. Really wrong.

I felt his hand cupped my cheeks, he's also not wearing his leather gloves. I felt his warm caress and my heart skipped a beat. It seems like someone has possessed my body that it moved on its own.

My hands reached for his cheeks and I closed my eyes savoring our kiss. It was like I submitted my whole body to him and I don't care what will happen, I just wanted his gentle caress.

He deepened our kiss, my hand came finding a way to his neck and wrapped around it. His hands also did find a way down my waist, wrapped his arms around and carried me to the bed.

He sat and leaned back to the pillow while we were kissing. I was on top of him, but I'm letting him lead the kiss. He bit my lower lip and entered my mouth with his tongue.

Both our tongues are dancing with each other, as I let his hands roam my waist to my back. We took short breaks between our kisses but we continued like there was no tomorrow.

Our kiss was... How can I say this? Wild? Yet gentle that I don't want to let go but I heard something in the kitchen that I let go of him. I stood up feeling embarrassed but I feel like I was hypnotized by something that I heard.

I ran to the kitchen and saw my mom here. What is she doing here? I felt disappointed because I ran all the way to the kitchen and had to let go of him.

There was also someone cooking at the stove. My mind says that I should go to the bathroom but there were strings all around the house. I accidentally touched one that made the fire grow at the stove. It turns out the string was connected to the stove.

The lady yelled that I was useless. This is like before, when I was back home though I can't call it home because I was... never welcomed. I sulked up at the corner thinking of negative things.

I lethargically went back to the bedroom hoping to find Heisenberg but he wasn't there already.

I saw a yellow mist before closing my eyes. I heard his voice before blacking out.

"That stupid FUCKING. FLOWER. I swear I'm gonna burn them to ashes"
