Let me in. (Robert Downey Jr Fanfic) Complete

44. Burn Emilia

*Emilia's POV*

I can hear voices. Voices I recognize but I'm not happy to hear them. I loathe their voices. I slowly opened my eyes. I saw unclear silhouettes in front of me. I blinked a few times until my vision became clear again.

"About time you woke up." Veronica snapped at me. I ignored her and tried to register my situation. I was laying on a bed. I couldn't move my arms or legs. They fucking tied me to the bed. I wanted to snap at Veronica but noticed that my mouth was covered with tuck tape. Instead I just gave her a death stare. My body aches all over. Especially my face and my abdomen and rib cage. Then I remembered Veronica giving Lance an order to beat me up because I spat in her face when she was making fun of Robert being pathetic and stuff. Lance must've knocked me unconscious. My head was throbbing and my mind was a chaos. Somehow this room feels familiar. I don't know from where though but it makes me feel sad.

"Do you remember this place?" She asked knowingly. Like she was able to read my mind. I just kept staring at her. Imagining that I was clawing her eyeballs out.

"You used to live here, dear." She smirked an evil grin. I looked around the room once more. I remember. This is the room I dreamt about. The fire. It looks different though. Someone must've cleaned up the house but I remember. The atmosphere of this place is making me feel sick. I can feel terror, horror, pain and death all around me. I feel like I need to throw up but I'm desperately trying to keep it in. I'm sure I'll choke on it with this tuck tape on my mouth. How did I even get here? And where is here? I don't remember travelling. Have I been unconscious this the entire time while moving? I closed my eyes and took a deep breath through my nose. Trying to calm down.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" She asked still with that smirk on her face. I thought about it for a minute. She brought me back to my childhood home where my family died...

This is where I'm going to die as well. I nodded.

"Smart girl! This is where it's all going to end. You should've died here too twelve years ago along with your family. I'm going to erase you from the world like you should've been back then." She said enthusiastically. Like a little girl telling her friends that her parents gave her a puppy. It's disgusting that she takes so much pleasure in torturing a human being. She's pure evil. Then my eyes landed on a guy who walked in the room holding a tank.

"This is the last room Miss." He said to Veronica.

"Hurry it up!" She snapped at him. He started spreading the liquid in the tank all over the floor. The scent quickly made its way up my nose thrills. Gasoline. She's going to fucking burn the house down. She's going to kill me the same way my family died. She's going to fucking burn me alive! She's crazy!! I was desperately trying to break loose from the rope around my wrists and ankles as I started to panic. Veronica was just laughing hysterically at the sight of me. I knew that she was going to kill me eventually. That was the whole idea. For her to get her satisfaction in killing me so that she would leave Robert and Sophie alone. I just expected a quick death. A gun shot through my head or something but I'm going to burn to death while I'm fully aware of it! She's a fucking monster!

"Stop fighting, dear. No one is coming to save you and escaping is not an option." She then walked towards Lance and her hand disappeared behind his back. When her hand came back in sight, she was holding a knife. She slowly came walking towards me with an evil grin plastered on her face.

"This is just a precaution. If you actually were able to break free. I won't let you escape this house." She raised her arm and brought it back down with all her strength, stabbing me in my upper leg. I squirmed in an unbearable pain. My whole body tensed and I screamed, the tuck tape muffling my scream. She then turned the knife in my leg and pulled it out. The pain was so intense that I was starting to feel lightheaded. Then another sharp, excruciating pain when through my other leg. I was screaming at loud as hard as I could but the tuck tape was muting my pain and gasps. I didn't want to cry, not in front of her but I couldn't help it. It hurts so much. My entire body is shaking because of the pain. Veronica continued laughing like she's never been this entertained in her entire life. What I wouldn't do to kill her with my own hands right now.
