Forgotten memories // Finney Blake

Chapter 10

My eyes burned as they slowly flutter open, my vision was hazy as I looked around the room. I don't know where I am and all I want to do was scream.

I heard footsteps, followed by the man. He wore a creepy mask as he carried Finney down the stairs. "My fucking arm. I should snap your neck for what you did to my arm" His voice was deep and rough. He tosses Finn beside me on the mattress.

I placed my hand on Finn's arm trying to get him to open his eyes. He slowly pulled himself to sit up on the mattress beside me.

The Grabber crouches down and sits on the edge of the mattress facing us before folding his left arm to look at his bloody cut Finney gave him. "Jesus, it's covered in blood. It's like I killed someone. You see that? Hmm? Not like you can see shit." He says as he wiggles his fingers in Finney's face.

Finn gave him a dirty look as he sat in silence not moving an inch. "I know you guys are scared. But I'm not gonna hurt you anymore." He assures us while looking at me.

What I said about snapping your neck... I was angry is all." He says as he turns his attention back to Finney.

"And you did a number on my arm." He laughs a bit. "But I'm not going to hold it against you, hmm. I guess now we're even." He says as he runs his fingers through my hair, my breaths were shaky.

"You don't have to be scared because nothing bad is going to happen here. On that I give my word Johnny." He says before raising two fingers together.

"You like soda? Hmm?" He asks while tucking some of my hair behind my ear. "I'll tell you what, I'm gonna go get you guys a soda, and then..." he pauses before whipping his head around at the door.

"Is that the phone? You hear a phone ringing? I'm going to go see who it is. Then I'll get you a soda then I'll come back and explain everything, hmm?" He starts talking a bit lighter, trying to sound friendly, but I knew exactly what he was pulling.

He's trying to convince us that his intentions are only good, that he doesn't want to hurt us. But I know damn well that's the only thing this sick fuck likes to fantasize about. Torturing and killing people.

He gets up and walks to the door, turning around to face us before shutting and locking it. Finn's hand was still gripping his bloody rocket pen.

Finn gets up slowly, and makes his way to the door. He tries to pull it but it won't budge. "I don't think he's dumb enough to leave it unlocked Finn" I sigh.

He walks all the way to another section of the room that had a light. He pulled the metal string and the light turned on, there was a toilet with a small roll of toilet paper on top.

Some mats were rolled up on the ground next to the toilet.

I see a black phone on one of the walls so I walk up to it and hold it to my ear. The wire was cut.

I hang the phone up and sit back down on the mattress. Finney sighs as he goes to the phone and places it against his ear. "Doesn't work, I tried it already." I groan as I fall back to lay down on the mattress.

He hangs up the phone and lays down next to me. "Do you think we're gonna get out of here?" He spoke quietly as he turned to face me. "Yes" I lie through my teeth as I turn to my side to face him too.

We stared at each other in silence, we both didn't know what to say. "I'm scared Finn" I break the silence, my voice was shaky. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you" he replies as he tucks some strands of my hair behind my ear before falling asleep.

Seeing him asleep made me forget about everything going on around us, in this moment he was the only thing that mattered. I feel safe whenever I'm with him.

I sighed as I let the exhaustion take over and slowly fell asleep.

The sleep didn't help me though.

I had a dream, it was about Bruce. I screamed as I woke up in cold sweat, pulling myself up. "Hey hey, you're okay" Finney assures me as he quickly sits up and pulls me in his arms, my head gently rest against his chest.

I could hear his faint heartbeat through his shirt.

I wanted to say something but when I opened my mouth nothing came out, instead tears started rolling down my cheeks.

I took deep breaths as I tried to calm myself down. "I've got you Alyssa, you're safe" his voice was so soft and comforting. "I-I saw Bruce, I saw him get kidnapped... I saw him die.." I cried as I gently gripped his arms that were still holding me.

I knew he knew exactly what I was thinking because he was quiet for a few seconds before replying "I won't let anything happen to you Ally, I promise." He intertwines his fingers with mine. I just nod in silence before

the black phone rang.
