The Darkness Gets Bigger

6. We're The Beginning of The End

Cat's POV:
I peeled my eyes open, finally conscious after what seemed like a whole year. My wrists ached and my mouth tasted metallic. I looked down, to find myself in a wooden chair, my wrists strapped down to the arms.

I raised my view to see a window to what seemed like a dining hall. I saw a man facing away from me, sat at the head of the long oak wood table, his head swaying from side to side.

"Patrick!" I shouted, identifying him almost instantly. "Patrick, help!"

I scooted towards the window with my feet and knocked my head against the glass, unable to use my hands.

He looked around, and it was then I realised it wasn't just me who was in trouble. His face was caked in blood and with every movement he made, he winced, as if he had injured himself.

Suddenly, his eyes met mine, but he still wore a blank expression of confusion that he had on moments before. He swivelled back around, after a few seconds of staring.

"Patrick.." I whispered to myself

Did he no longer care for me? Was I that easy to just disregard? Perhaps he resented me for not saving him in the first place, after all, this whole mess comes down to me. Me and my stupid brain.

The negative thoughts I had, for so long pushed aside, were beginning to creep in again. A silent tear rolled down my cheek, causing me to let out a bitter sob.

"He can't see you," a cold voice resonated suddenly.

I turned my head only slightly, my shoulders still shaking from my crying.

"It's a two way mirror. You can see him but he can't see you."

I heard footsteps behind me and I flinched as a hand rested upon my shoulder.

I turned to see Xavier towering over me, his face contorted into a frown. It seemed like a second nature to shrug him off.

"Y-you kidnapped me," I choked out, my tears still flowing.

"I gave you plenty of warnings," he said simply "remember when we met a few weeks ago?"

"I tried to help. To save you, but you're too stubborn, Catherine. It's one of the things I grew to love about you."

"I'm offering you a chance. We could get back together and forget we ever ended."

I turned at stared at him. I noticed he had a new small tattoo on his neck. A little double music note with a thick line across it, enclosed in a circle.

"To be quite honest with you, I'm glad it's over," I snarled

His face instantly hardened.
"Fine. Don't say I didn't try," he snapped and turned away.

Finally, the messed up jigsaw puzzle was coming together in my mind.

"You're one of them," I stated, staring straight at him.

"Listen, I don't have time for small talk." Xavier said impatiently "besides, the head bitch is giving you an ultimatum"

"Head bitch..hardly a polite way to address your leader."

I felt a red hot sting as he connected his hand to my face.

He looked uncomfortable as I glanced up at him, unable to cradle my cheek.

"I do what I like," he said, wavering "so shut up, before I cut off your hand too,"

"Too?"

"The fuck did I just say?"

"Who's hand did you cut off, Xavier?" I persisted, trying to look as intimidating  as I could whilst being tied to a chair in the middle of a dark room.

"You'll find out sooner or later. What matters now, is that the head b- leader has given you a final decision,"

"And?"

"Either you join us, or Stump dies,"

A cold feeling passed through my body, and my mouth hung open. I wanted to scream out, and cry, but I had no tears anymore. I was numb. Physically and emotionally drained.

"I suggest you watch," Xavier smirked "you know, while you think about it."

He jerked his head to the window, where three hooded figures were being pushed into the dining hall and forced into the chairs by the vixens.

Patrick began to snap his fingers and sing as he was reunited with his band mates again.

I knew it was all over now, even before it had begun. It was too late. They had already won.
