The Educator (dark h.s)

Chapter 40- revenge is sweet

"If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?" William Shakespeare.

*Third person*

Jasper Craig awakened in a dilapidated room. His head was pounding so hard it felt like his brain was physically swelling inside his skull. It was hard to force his eyes open, the lids felt heavy and coated with sleep as if a drug had been forced into his system. (Which was perhaps what had happened...?)A little tickle poked the back of his throat and he coughed, his cough echoing throughout the room.

The eerie silence was so obnoxiously loud it was vibrating through his whole body as his brown eyes drifted around the room cautiously. Blood was smeared over the walls, making him feel even more dazed and lightheaded. This room was familiar to him. Being part of The Educator murders, Jasper was well acquainted with the various trap rooms. Black and brown mould dotted the ceiling in clusters, giving you the idea of how many deaths had been haunting the room. As far as he remembered, that was where Rachel Wilson's homicide had been committed, her blood stained the wall for eternity.

Something didn't feel right, he could feel it in the pit of his stomach - twisting and turning. Never had he imagined himself on the other side of the games, as a candidate. His gaze dipped to see cold chains holding his legs apart, his exposed manhood peering back at him. He was naked. A bloody handcuff was put around a sturdy metal hook sticking out of the hard cement floor- he couldn't move an inch. The feel of the harsh metal digging into his scratched skin gave him everything but comfort as he blinked the dizziness away.

He didn't know what was in store for him, but he was terrified. He hoped to show no fear, to suck whatever pain being thrown his way up, endure it until he somehow found a way out. Before he knew it, a blood-curdling scream was ripping through his chest, followed by a loud echo.

It had to be a nightmare.

And the small screen snapped open, showing the all too familiar masked man along with Harry's currently nerve-wrenching voice.

"Hello Jasper, I want to play a game. Now, before I get started I'd like to have a word with you - to raise your awareness." Even behind the mask, you could see Harry's prominent tense of jaw. He was fuming, his friend backstabbing him, unforgivable.

"Are you aware of what the aftermaths of rape does to a woman? And don't even bother answering that because apparently you aren't. Girls that have been raped- their worlds change forever. Their whole lives, everything they thought they knew begins to unravel, to become uncertain. Sex is supposed to be something both sides want, and not one taking advantage of the other. Rape is worse than murder because you technically kill the person inside, leaving a shell of a human being to roam the streets. You're a revolting cad for what you did to my Gwen, and for that- you'll pay." His raspy voice rang, chilling Jasper to the bone.

"I was drunk! I didn't know what I was doing! What happened with my Melanie, you knew she was my whole world! My whole world dumped me! For that blooming twat! I had to do some drinking to get her off my mind... I just had to!" Jasper hollered out, tears rolling down his muddy cheeks.

Harry's eyes gleamed with contentment as he took in Jasper's teary situation. But deep inside, he felt like he could puke. Images of Jasper's filthy hands on his beautiful Gwen, her hopeless cries for help making his stomach swirl with betrayal and acrimony.

"So you go for my girl. You drink your arse off and force yourself on Gwen. I can guarantee I made it pretty fucking clear to stay the fuck away from her or there'll be severe consequences. And you my friend- you have crossed the line." He spat, clasping his hands together as his eyes turned a deep shade of black- the one that symbolised brutal things were about to take place. The whole atmosphere shifted even more than before when Jasper shot him a hateful look.
