Her soft devil

4. The tunnel

I hear gunshots down the hallway, I sure hope they don't come up here.

As I walk past a room with an open door, I feel hands pull me inside of it.

Oh no. Not again.

--------

I let out a sigh of relief when I see who was behind me. It was Eve.

"Are you crazy, you can't walk in the hallways when theres an invasion! Now come here" she said in a low voice.

She brought me inside the room and closed the door and the light. 

I didn't see much but she led me to another door, only it was smaller this time. 

"This is a tunel and it will lead you to outside the house. It's the only way out. We're going to go through it, together."

She opened the door and went in. I went in aswell.

"Wait, I forgot my phone" she said.

She went back to the room and opened the light. 

--------------

It had been a couple of minutes since she was gone, I was starting to think there was something going on. 

I went up the tunel and was stunned to see Eve, mascara running down her cheeks, sobing, attached to a chair, a gun to her head.

It was the man from the room earlier who was holding the gun.

"Come with me or I'll kill her." he said.

"NO ANYA! Go back, he'll kill you too if you go with him!" eve said.

I took a deep breath.

"You don't deserve this Eve, you really don't. You are an awesome girl and I know you have a bright future."

"But... Sam will never let me out of the house." she replied.

"You don't have to worry about him anymore. He is never going to hurt you ever again."

"HE'S DEAD!?" She said, not holding her smile.

A  deep voice answered. "Yeah, he's dead. I put a bullet right through his heart. But if you two don't hurry, you'll be next."

"Eve. Listen to me. Take my phone. There's my adress on it. Go to it but you musn't go on the second floor. Build yourself a second life and forget about me, forget about this life. I know how these men work better than you do."

"But I can't just LEAVE you here!"

"Yes you can and that's what you are going to do. Either you leave me here and build yourself another life, either he kills us both."

Eve--------

What do I do, what do I do, WHAT DO I DO??

She's right, either she goes with him or we both die. 

But... it doesn't feel MORE right to leave her there...  

"Listen here people. I don't have all day. Either you go or you die. For me, it seems like an obvious choice." The man said.

I looked at Anya, who gave me a comforting look. I knew in her eyes that she wanted me to go.

She nodded at him and he untied my hands and let me go. 

As I went down the tunnel, I heard her whimper as he tied her hands.             

I didn't know if I should get back up there, or continu going through the tunnel.

Drew (man)------------

I don't understand. She could have gotten away easily, but she decided to switch places with another girl? They must have known eachother a long time for her to do this.

Oh well, I really don't give a fuck. 

I just have to kill the girl and get rid of her body, she saw my face without my mask, and rules say she can't be alive. 

As I was preparing to pull the trigger on her, I couldn't bring myself to.

I looked at her. She was wearing a short red dress with a lot of makeup.

Even with that much makeup, I could see the red below her eyes indicating that she cried a lot.

It must have been that guy from earlier. He had been an enemy to our family for a very long time, I'm glad he's gone. 

He was holding her against that wall as she had fear in her eyes.

I lowered the gun, I couldn't bring myself to kill her after all she'd been through.
