The Mummy Maker

Chapter 35

there was a row of metal bars creating cages across the back wall, opposite had rusted tools with blood and muck on them. the all tot he right held chained to the wall four of them while the last wall held nothing but the ladder surrounded by what looked to be a locked cage.

I opened the lock as Marcus made his way down the ladders, what the fuck?" he gasped steeping out the cage and into he room. he gaged holding his nose but this scent smelt familiar to me more gag.

there was a camera tripod in the middle of the room, I looked inside the caged and only he middle to held ripped thin blankets and a rusted bucket. I walked into one cage and looked at the wall, this side of the bars separating the cage held Mystics name and beside it on the other side was... my name.

I gasped and took a step back, "what?" Marcus asked, The pain was intense as I screamed crouching down, holding my head. Memories of my time here flooded back like a damn holding back water. I remember every horrific thing here, where most of my scare came from.

I remember that Myst had been here longer then me, she taught me what I could and cannot do. she kept me out of trouble and protected me when we finally made our plan to escape. I shook my head and stood up, turning to Marcus I noted the room was clear then before still dirty but not as bad.

The cell door had now shut, there was clean straw on the floor. "you okay?" a sweet little voice said, I turned tot he bars where My Myst. the one I had be 2 months ago was stood with a smile.

"Myst..." I breathe walking tot he bars and grabbing them looking at her pretty face.

"Feels weird being back in this cage again... Haven't been here since I passed."

"why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"I would have hoped you remembered if nothing more then to stay away from here, when I saw you I couldn't help myself and after I found out your forgot it was easier to pretend.

"When Ivan saw you he wanted you back and I refused to give him that." she sniffled a couple of tears dropping. "Why did you come back ?!" she shouted.

"I-" she cust me off.

"It's not fair! I wanted to take you home not the other way around... I get why you forgot, It was a traumatic time and you did murder him." A hand came into view from the darkness behind her had it clamped her shoulder.

Ivan stepped out and stood behind her with a grin, "you " I growled, he smirked at me.

"My little flower..." his voice was rotten, dripping with venom and he reached out and caressed my check. I swallowed the vomit that flooded my mouth and shook him off, he looked taken back. "you have matured so much little one."

he frowned and grabbed Myst around her waist clamping a hand around her mouth as he pulled her back into the darkness. "No!" I shouted reaching through the bars for her. I screamed in pain again as that night ran through my head, Myst being let out for her weekly chain up.

she kneed Ivan in his sack and grabbed the keys throwing them into my cage, I opening the door and making a break for it. I heard the struggle and turned back to hit Ivan on the head letting her go, we made it tot he bedroom, I heard her shouting faster to me.

I made it outside and hid behind a tree, I noticed she hadn't come out and I heard struggling an crash's there was a scream and then silence. suddenly what felt like hours Ivan emerged from the cabis dark doorway.

"Little Flower!" she shouted, his breath visible in the freezing weather. "Just you wait till I get my hand on you!" he growled, he stepped foot of the porch when a sliver blur ran and jumped on his back.

He yelled as she bit his neck, she grabbed a fist full of her hair slamming her down on the ground. she was bleeding a lot and I could tell she was to week to fight as he knelt by her head and shoved the large kitchen knife in her chest. I gasped making his head snap over to me.

"My little flower." he growled with a grin, he stood and made his way toward me. My eyes looked on my best friend lifeless body made me snap. Kill him her voice rattled through my brain. My body began to move on it's own as I scream running to her body.

I grabbed the knife pulling it form her chest and turned to him. "Ha! what are you going to do with that my little flower?"

"I am not yours!" I growled leaping towards him, All I saw was red. I left the knife cut him in differnt places, the red cleared when I heard hom drop to his knees.

"My little flower... so mature." he said weakly, I growled thrusting the knife into his throat.

"I. Am. Not. Yours." Pulling it side ways his blood spirted over me as he fell to the ground pulling the knife out. I watched his blood mix with the pure white snow before dropping the knife and walking into the cabin.

I packed a bag with this I needed and grabbed some shoes and some blankets. I wrapped one around my body and wrapped Myst In know, "Come on Myst, You need a hospital to get better."

"Bella?" Marcus voice floated around me as I panted, I looked up and him and smiled through my tears.

"I remember." I whispered, he walked over and helped me up. we made out way tot he car and slipped in my body shaky and week.

"Lets get you home." he said, I noticed the sun had began to rise as we began descent home.
