In This Darkness

The Truth

(Lori's pov)

I woke up, Tom was already up. I guess Maria is still sleeping.My day went very well yesterday, I hope this one will too, I thought to myself.I stood up and stretched. I opened the door and I could hear Tom talking to someone. I approached the stairs and slowly descended. I saw Tom in the kitchen. He was arguing with someone over the phone, I listened carefully to the conversation.

"Listen you police asshole, I don't know any Lori, I have nothing to do with it," said Tom, banging on the table. It was clear to me now that the police were looking for me.

"Maxim, you and I have already finished a long time ago, fuck it, I'm not the one you're looking for," said Tom again angrily and ended the call. Everything was clear to me now. Maksim is the policeman who is looking for me, he is Maria's boyfriend and she can now help me to help. Tom lied about not knowing me, I wanted now that asshole is going to jail.

I ran quickly but carefully to Maria. She didn't get up yet, and I shouted at her, and when she heard me, she jumped out of bed. "What's up, honey?" Maria asked me in concern and amazement. "You have to call Maxim, he is a policeman who is looking for me and you have to tell him that I am at Tom's, since you are his girlfriend and he will help me." I told her quickly and now I had hope to save myself. Maria didn't say anything to me, but immediately ran to the drawer to get her phone. She was happy that there was hope that I would be saved. I thought Tom hadn't noticed me, but apparently I was wrong.

I was sitting on the bed, wiping away one tear of joy, because I had hopes that I would return to my family. Marija was a few meters from me and grabbed the phone, she was standing and then Tom jumped into the room. When I saw him, my legs were cut off and I automatically got up from the bed and took a few steps back."So that's how you fuck with the policeman, and you're running here after George," said Tom, now looking at Maria with his devilish eyes. "Tom..." I started to speak and he pushed me away and I tripped. "I'll have fun with you later, I'll finish with Maria first," he said creepily. He took quick steps towards Maria, and she began to speak "Tom stop let me explain" tears welled up in her eyes knowing what was waiting for her. "Everything is clear to me," said Tom, after which he took her hair and threw it on the floor. She was crying on the floor, and he was above her. He was pulling her hair and yelling at her.I got up from the floor to help Maria, and Tom grabbed her hair and knocked her head off the floor, so she passed out.
"TOM!"I shouted not at him, going down next to Maria. She was unconscious, I shouted at Tom, after which he pulled me by my hair and pushed me away. He called someone on the phone, he called Georg.I overheard their conversation and Tom told him everything and told him about Maxim and Maria. Obviously Tokio and Hotel and Maxim have known each other for a long time. The last sentence I heard from Georg was "You know what to do with Maria."After which Tom ended the call. He left the room for a while, and I came closer to Maria. I was crying, slapping her face to wake up. She opened her crying eyes and said to me brokenly, "Lori." Tom came in and saw me. next to Maria, after which he kicked me in the stomach and I collapsed.I felt pain and felt like I was going to pass out, Tom hit me so hard, I lost my breath.I lay there for a couple of minutes, but I was unconscious and then I heard Maria's screams, I turned my head towards Maria and Tom and I could see something. Tom raped Maria, she tried to defend herself, but every time he would drive her head into the floor.He was so rough and he was literally breaking her. I slowly got up and Tom noticed me and then said "Now I'm raping your little friend, after which I'm going to kill her." I screamed at him and tried to get up, but I felt pain and dizziness. I crawled towards Maria and Tom, and he managed to grab me by the hair and knock me off the floor. I was lying on the floor and I saw Tom taking a knife out of his pocket.Tom started to cut the veins on her arms. Blood was spurting, and he was still raping her. She was screaming in pain, and I got up to help her. I grabbed Tom by the neck, and he stuck a knife in my hand. and pushed me to the floor again.Now I just watched Maria struggle.I cried for her and yelled at Tom to leave her alone. I felt so guilty, it was my fault. This would never have happened if I hadn't told her to call fucking Maksim. Tom started stabbing her in the stomach, leaving scars on her chest and hips. I watched him torture her for another 10 minutes, and I couldn't even move, I couldn't even think about how Maria was doing.

Tom got up from Maria, the bloody knife was still in his hand.Maria was lying half dead on the floor. She was crying and making painful noises.I managed to get close to her, I removed the disheveled hair from her face. She was breathing hard, every exhalation could be her last. Tom destroyed her. She looked at me palely and tried to smile a little. I caressed her face and cried for with her, and she cried with me as well. Although I've only known her for a day and a half, she proved to be a true friend and I didn't want to lose her, and I'm to blame for this."I'm to blame for this" I cried and told her softly. My tear dripped on her cheek, and she wiped my tears and said "You're not dear, I got what I deserved" her voice was breaking as she said this .

Tom called Maxim on the phone and told him"Maxim, I'll bring you Lori, she's at my place, just be at that destination, you already know where and be alone, if I see someone with you, you'll all be dead."
