You Saved Me

Camera Man

My eyes drift open again against my will. I woke up again. My eyes dart around the room. Xavier is standing in the corner adjusting a video camera. I move around trying to get away from him ad he walks twards me "NO!" I scream muffled by the ducttape. "Stop Moving!" Xavier said. Holding the lock to my hands. "Do you promise youll be good and not try to kill me if I unlock this?" He unlockes the lock around my wrists and holds my hands together. "Promise! Or I WILL hurt you!" He says sternly as I nodded again. He slowly releases my hands from his harsh grip. I slowly bend my elbows feeling every sore mussle slowly adjust to new positions. I look over my shoulder at Xavier again hoping he will untie my feet. Anything to spark a chance of escape. He ignored my gaze and was toying with the camera. I looked back down at my wrists something I hadnt seen in what felt like years. There were deep gashes and crusted blood deep in the wounds and the patern of the chains etched into my flesh. I move my hips feeling the sudden immediate urge to use the bathroom something I hadnt done in a while. I move my hips down closer to my feet and hug my knees. My head dizzy from the sudden movments after being chained stationary for a while. "W..What is the camera for?" I manage to stammer. "Hold this!" Xavier says with daggers in his voice. "What?" I ask stupidly in a sleepy daze. "DONT ASK QUESTIONS!" He snapped screaming at me. "Your parents want to know I didnt kill you yet." He said calmer now. "This is todays news paper. Hold it under your chin!" I sneek a look at the date

"October.28th?! Ive been here for weeks?!" I say loudly blinking tears out of my eyes! Refusing to look at the camera. It feels like ive been here forever. "They say most people dont survive past the first 48 hours. You should thank me. Ive been cleaning up after you. And keeping you alive!" "Why!" I scream "Just kill me! Or let me go!" I scream crying in giant sobbs. "I may be a bad person. But im not a killer Shay." Tears stream down my face. "My mom will pay the ransom I know she will and she will find you and kill you!" I scream. "Cooperate Shay!" Xavier says frusterated. Pulling out a knife. I lunge twards his feet pulling harshly at the chains around my feet. Smash! I feel a sharp sting against my arm and smell blood. He stabbed me. "Look Shay Sit up and look at this camera NOW!" crying in pain holding my arm. He pulls me into a sitting position and places the newspaper infront of me "Look at the camera." he says daggers in his eyes. I do as im told feeling more and more blood pulse out of my arm. Click. The camera flashes a blining light. I feel blood on my hand all the way down my arm. Everything is spinning. Then everything is dark. Peaceful. Maybe death finally answered my calls.
