Stockholm Syndrome

Chapter 22

Liu's pov

I sat on my bed sharpening my knife. Looking out the old broken window I saw that the sun was going down. I hated the night, it reminded me of that night. The night I lost my little brother forever to a monster, the night the police would find me 'dead' along with my parents and my poor little brother gone. I shook my head of those thoughts, I couldn't think of them. It hurt too much. Standing up I opened up my door and wandered the halls looking for any sign of Jeff. I went to the kitchen and opened the door only to find him sitting on the counter with a bag of chips in his lap. "Ya know Liu this place could use a TV, other than that you have it all set." My anger and hatred started radiating off of me. Jeff noticed and set the bag of chips to the side and licked his fingers before jumping off the counter. "No need to glare, I was just eating." "Why... Why did you do it?" I asked him and his smiling face faltered. "What do you mean why?" I took a deep breath before answering his question. "Why did you kill them? Why did you try to kill me?" He didn't say anything, he didn't even do anything but stare at me with his unblinking eyes. "I don't know." He finally answered. "You don't know! That's not an answer you fucker! How do you not know why you killed your family!" I yelled out. This man was unbelievable. "Look, I just don't know. What made you kill that nurse and security guard huh? It's the same damn thing." My eyes narrowed at him in disgust. "Don't you dare try to compare us, we're nothing alike." He laughed at me and I lunged. "He wasn't prepared so when my knife landed in his shoulder he grunted. Pushing me off he ripped my knife out and decided to use it, leaving me without a weapon. "Fuck." I muttered under my breath. 'Looks like we'll have to do this the hard way.' I nodded my head in agreement and went to land a punch or a kick but he dodged and stabbed the knife through my back. Growling i reached to get it, only to get kicked in the stomach and stabbed in the shoulder. 'Get up!' The voice yelled at me and I grunted. Pain flared through my back as I Grabbed the knife and ripped it out. Jeff then tackled me onto my back and pinned my wrists above me leaving me defenseless. Taking the knife he stabbed my stomach and I yelled in pain. "Liu, doesn't this remind you of ten years ago?" Jeff asked me, sadness laced his words and I grunted trying not to remember. The feeling of defenselessness, fear, the feeling of betrayal as the knife sliced through my skin. Closing my eyes I felt him place the knife at my throat and I braced myself for my death. Just as he was going to slit my throat a bang was heard and Jeff fell off of me limp. Opening my eyes I looked up to see scared (E/C) eyes and (H/C) hair. "(Y-Y/N)." I muttered and she looked down at me. Anger and hatred suddenly replaced the fear in her eyes. She brought the frying pan she used on Jeff above her head and slammed it down on me, causing a sharp pain to course through my head and then blackness.
