He really was a monster,
A living monster...

"meri???"
Rizaph called me out and broke my trance...

"Rizaph, I am here.."

"meri, are you...... Crying"

"no, am not"

"hey...
Don't cry it's okk,
i am fine here..."

"rizaph.....
I am sorry..."

(crying)

"hey meri...
Don't cry....
You might look ugly right now...
It's not your fault, it's okk...

Meri remember,
you used to cry like this even when we met for the first time.....
It was so cute.."

I closed my eyes to remember those times,
those beautiful times I had....

I was 6 years old when we had new neighbours,
rizaph and his mother....
Rizaph was a quiet kid,
quiet as well as kind,
a complete opposite of Theo,
My brother who was a naughty and clumsy person,
He was not even able to sit still for a minute without causing trouble....
Rizaph went to theo's school and both of them got closer,
Soon they became best friends...

One day,
Theo invited rizaph to our home without even informing me..
Theo that day took my candies so I started crying and went to the hall to tell mum....
At that time I saw rizaph standing their looking at me,
Who had tears all over the face...
He smiled warmly but I was super embarrassed...
He came towards me and took out a handkerchief and gave it to me....

And thus our friendship began...

Rizaph had a big talent for art,
what to say,
he was an artist,
ya an literal artist,
It was like his drawings would always come to life,
So one day I asked him to teach me as well,
So i used to go to his home to learn...
He used to hold my hand and teach me to draw,
he always had a warm,
caring smile,
Soon I realized that I had a big crush on this man,
I literally fell for him....
And then when I was 18

I confessed... But..

He said no,
He said he always thought of me as his sister....
And that was my heartbreak,
But I knew at some point that he would reject me since he was my brother's best friend...

And now,
He was in front of me,
In such a stage....

Door opened and in came him,
Wearing a black shirt,
Sleeves folded till his elbows....

"I guess you both had enough talk for today,
Now lets begin with your punishment Ella..."
He said smirking evilly...

He went and sat across rizaph,
took his hand in his hand and then started plucking his entire nail out one by one out of his fingers....

" Ahh...hhhh......."
Rizaph screamed at the top of his lungs..

He had no emotion on his face,
he continued plucking those nails out....

"please,
Please stop,
Please,
It was my fault,
I ran away,
Sorry please please leave him,
Punish me......
I did wrong,
It was my fault please..."
I pleaded while trying to untie my hands....

Due to my futile attempts the chair fell down with me on it....
He stood up and came near me and helped me up by putting the chair straight....

" you know what Ella,
In our story i am not the hero
And I don't want to be
Instead here
I am the villian,
But not like other stories,
In this story the one with you till the end will be the villain.
I won't let you go ella
You'll be with me forever....
This is your punishment,
The more you run,
the more people close to you will suffer.....
I won't punish you Ella,
cause I love you,
I'll punish them.....
In front of you...

Isn't it good,
You just have to sit here and watch them getting killed inch by inch.... "

" you are worst"
I said looking at him with eyes filled with anger...

"I AM NOT A GOOD PERSON ELLA,
DON'T EXPECT ME TO BE ONE"

How can someone be so bad,
so evil...

"only if you promise to not run away will I stop this"

I then looked at rizaph only to find him at the brink of death,
Blood ozzing out from every finger of his hands....
He was unconscious....

He has to reach hospital immediately, or else he will die....
I can only do this now...

Sorry rizaph....
Everything was my fault to begin with....

"I promise."
I said....
"i didn't hear clearly"
" I promise I won't run away,
Now can you please send him to a hospital,
He needs urgent care"
I said...

"why should I??"
"please"

"Ella,
It's been so long since you came here but you have not even once called my name,
now say it,
I might send him to a doctor if I like it"

"Denver, please send him"
" again, say my name Ella"

"DENVER"

"OK,
I'll keep my promise.
Do remember what you just said,
Keep your promise as well cause I don't know what more will I do to break you completely if i find you running again...."

He then went away...

Denver,
You can't break me,
Never,
I will run away from here one day
I have never hated anyone in my whole life,
But you have changed it......

So here's the chapter.....
Sorry for the long break I took in the middle....
Due to some college matters and all I was very inconsistent for this two months....
But I'll work harder...
Since I also know how happy I feel after writing...
My exams are coming and I didn't study a single word.... Do pray for me... Hope it will turn out well... 😆😆😆😆
