The Bride

Chapter [12] Words don't matter

Theodore gasps at the request and got even closer to the metal door. Eddie notices that, tho he didn't pay attention, he was deeply in thoughts and his eyes seemed to get lost in mine. I held my own breath at this intense stare down, awaiting the Grooms answer. I wasn't sure what he was planning right now in his twisted mind or what he would do now, yet I held some hope that my words and demands carry at least some weight in this so called 'relationship'.

"Hm fine, sure, whatever...", Eddie began to say as he grasped the keys from the ground.

I was stunned.  "You letting him go???"

"Yeah sure, it was your request. Was it?"

"Well yeah, but I didn't think you'd do that..." , I admit still in surprise and watched the Groom search for the right key.

"You won't kill him though, will you??!"

The Groom laughed at that. "No, I won't. I'll simply let him go."

Something about this seems fishy and for some reason I couldn't really believe the words he was saying.

Eddie, the mercilessly, psychopathic and murderer of hundreds wants to tell me, that he wants to let one of his 'patients' go? What did you plan, Gluskin.

"Ah~" , the sudden sound of his voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I stare at him as he lightly pushes me to aside with his devilish smirk. He put the Key into the lock. A loud click erupts as he turns the key to the right. He threw the keys aside and swung the metal door open. "Tadaaaa~! There we go. You're free!"

Eddie is blocking the view to Theodore as he steps outside. His knees were shaking, you could hear it on the way he walked. And then finally I could see him and my breath got caught in the throat as soon as he turns my way.

My mouth hung wide open by his appearance. I never seen a patient looking like this in this rather ugly surrounding. His stunning eyes were not yellow or orange. He still kept some of his old features. Black hair, which was slicked to the side. A slight muscular body. His skin tone was still normal and not corrupted by murkoff...and one blue and green eye. Heterochromia, was it? I couldn't think straight, but I do believe that is what he has. I bit my lip as he smirks at me slightly, probably laughing on the inside because of my reaction. He was handsome, no denying.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Run." , Eddie suddenly barks at him and getting to his face. Theodore didn't show any fear though as the Groom got to his face. Only his eye twitched lightly as he steps away from the Groom. I shift from one leg to the other as I watched him go slowly. For some reason I didn't want him to leave me here. I wanted to go with him. But I was left in the hands of the Groom, who was fumming in the inside. Before Theodore left through the door, he holds. As Theodore spoke, he didn't look back once. His voice was cool and ambitious.

"Thank you, (Y/n). I will repay your favor soon, don't worry."

And with that, he left. Eddie studied the door. His fists were tightening. Silence seemed to consume as, yet soon interrupted by the loud laughing of Gluskin. He holds his head with his hand as he threw his body to the back. Laughing out maniacally. I grew nervous by that and just stare at him. What was so funny?

"Thank you, (Y/n). I will repay your favor soon, don't worry! Bla bla bla!" , he began to mocke and played handpuppets with his hands. He rolled his eyes after and turns my way. "I don't believe he can repay it though, my darling."

Confused by his words I rose an eyebrow.

"You seem confused. Let me explain..." ,he began to say as he slowly passes me, "...he won't return, because one of my....frenemies....will take good care of him."

"Wait! You said you'd let him go and won't kill him! Not bring him to one of your friends!" , I protested as I grabbed a hold of one of his hands and turn him my way. He only smirks though at that and pressed me against one of the lockers.

"I did. And I kept my word, Darling." , he says in a hush as he caressed my cheek.

"But- No! You didn't keep your word!" He grabbed ahold of my chin, lifting it up and got closer with his face. I could feel his warm breath tickling my lips.

"But I did. I didn't kill him...and I didn't leave him in the locker. I didn't gave him into the hands of some other maniac...I mean...anything can happen when you step through a door?" He let go of me and took a step back, turning his back my way. Furious tears roll down my cheek.

"You planned this!" , I shout at him, though didn't dare to touch him.

"Oh no no no. How could I possibly foreshadowed anything...I could've never..." , he says 'sad and 'hurtful' as he began to walk away.

"I hate you!"

He stops in his tracks, that's when I covered my mouth with both hands. Damn you mouth!

"You will immediately return to your room."

His cold voice made me shiver. He didn't sound like his usual self. His body then slowly turns my way. No smirk or whatsoever, just hatred and some hint of jealousy radiated from his eyes.

"And if I see you out of your Room, I will kill you."
