Elemental: We are all murderers #2

Chapter Fifty

Azania 

I wake up in a cold room. Everything is black. I can feel that I'm blindfolded. I try to move my arms and legs but they are both tied by chains and cuffs. "Hello?" I ask. I already know who's there, X. "Hello little one." He says. I don't know where I am.

Everything is dark. All I can hear is his voice and a dripping sound. "What do you want with me? What is your goal here?" "You'll see." "What is that supposed to mean?" "It means you will have to wait. Right now I need something from you.

I need you to break free from the chains that you think you have, because you don't have the luxury of time." "Why would I listen to someone who murdered one of my best friends? You must be clinically insane if you think I will ever listen to you."

"Well, I'm not the one talking a little too boldly to my kidnapper right now. We both have the same goals, so I suggest you do listen to me unless you really want to die." "It seems like death is a better fate than this." "Don't go saying stuff like that. Not with her face." He says softly.

But I knew that I hit a mark there. For some reason, he's so obsessed with her. "Why? Why are you so obsessed with Aurora? I'm not her, you know. I'm somebody else. Somebody completely different, we're just two opposites with the same face."

"You don't think I know that? You really think that I would have chosen you? A 16 year old girl. You are the only person who can solve this case in the entire world. Trust me, I've looked, but it seems that the universe has decided that you are going to be the one to do that.

I wanted to be the one for so long and so now I have to help you along the way. It's not by choice. People want to kill you, Steyn wants to kill you. He's out there right now, he's been watching you this entire time, but you have not noticed.

He owns this estate, he can kill you in a split second, but he's watching you, watching your progress. Ever since that night at the ball, it has intensified." "Why don't you kill me? Get it over and done with, all of your problems will be solved."

"None of my problems would be solved I won't kill you. Unfortunately you are the key to solving everything, to exposing Steyn for who he really is, a murderer. She deserved way better than what she got." "What happened to Anna?" "Shouldn't you find out for yourself?"

"The story doesn't add up, and I'm assuming that you know she wasn't killed by a stalker, she was killed by her father. Then Anna disappeared, supposedly kidnapped by the stalker, never to be seen again, but I don't know what happened to h-her, whether she's alive or dead."

"I'm not going to answer that question." "Why? What the fuck is wrong with you? You just said that you were going to help me along the way, but instead you're making this a thousand times more confusing. Just tell me what happened to her.

You said that we both have the same goal, so why aren't you helping me you fuck." "Careful watch that tongue of yours or you might get hurt." He says, and I can feel a cold blade on my cheek, but I don't care. "You are the worst."

"No, I'm just realistic. We're not swinging on swings anymore. This is real life shit. It's not a fantasy."  "Swings?" he removes whatever he put on my cheek. "You're going to be here for a while, so you might as well get comfortable. And you'll be alone in this cold, dark room." No.

"No, no, please. No, Please. No. Please let me out of these chains. Please, Please, no. Please don't leave me by myself. I can't be by myself. Please don't leave me by myself. Please." I'm pleading and begging, trying to move, but the chains are keeping me still.

I can't stop fighting against them. I can't be alone. I can't. I can't be left alone in a dark room again like I've been in my entire life. I can't. I can't do this. I can't do it all over again. I did it once. I escaped. I'm. I'm free now. I'm free now. I can't. I can't be alone in this room anymore.
