Dark Desires

Chapter 10

Toby tugs at the collar as Jeff left the room. He didn't understand if this was a joke or not, but his instincts told him to fight and keep fighting. Jeff walked in moments later to the sound of Toby fiddling with his collar and chain, Cute, he didn't like the collar.

Much like a puppy who didn't like a sweater, he fought to get it off but couldn't. "It's locked on baby doll, there's no way out. Besides, why would you want to leave? All I want to do is care for you!". His voice was soft, sweet, almost as if this wasn't happening.

Toby decided to save his strength, and listened in on what Jeff wanted from him. He felt as if he would die in here if he made one wrong move, so his hands stilled, his breath was quiet, and his eyes locked with his captor. "Glad to see I have your attention Toby" he chuckles.

"You know how much I love you right? Heh obviously enough to keep you locked up..." he trailed off " But in order to be free...You have to obey and not try to leave, especially after I tell you who i really am...". Jeff took a deep breath, sitting next to the shivering man.

His hand gently laid across Toby's, as he began to spill the secrets he's been keeping in so long. " When we first met in the park, I was planning to kill you...then, I saw you weren't like the others, you have morals, you have strength, you have a unique way of seeing the world...so i started following you, stalking you." he said proudly.

" When I got angry at anyone i would go kill, slaughter, maim, torture, drown, anything i could do to relieve the rage i had over those who hurt you. Then I found out how you were treated at home..." he looks up into Toby's wide, dilated eyes.

" I made your father eat his own flesh by keeping him alive after severing his arm. Your mother was slowly cut, day after day I would cut skin off until she died of infection. Your father finally passed once I cut off his right leg, and I burned and buried their bodies in the woods across state". He said almost too calmly as if it wasn't a huge issue at hand.

Toby felt nauseated, but also relieved. His parents were dead but, would he be next? He honestly didn't know what to say, it was so much to take in. " J-Jeff....I-I...P-please don't kill me" he begs, his voice wavering as tears threaten to spill. He scoots back shivering "I'll do anything please don't kill me!".

Jeff had a worried expression "No, no I would never hurt my precious diamond! We're meant to be together! A-and don't worry I'll let you go once you get used to the place and the cops stop looking for you" he smiles. "They already think your neighbor has something to do with this, so you aren't to blame". He meant it as a way to calm him down, and thought it worked a little.

Toby just nods his head toying with the collar,trying to change the subject slightly. " What if I have to use the restroom? Or eat? ". Jeff pets his hair, kissing his head " I'll get you what you need baby, trust me. You just worry about you, and your new home while I clean up the mess in the basement". Toby let out a mewl of disgust " There's bodies down there?" he whispers.

Jeff smiles with pride "Yep. They woke up my baby boy! They had to be punished! So you rest up, and when I'm done cleaning up I'll make you dinner ok?". With a small nod Toby agreed, With food he would have strength to fight if needed, but Jeff seemed to genuinely think he was taking care of Toby, so chances are he won't be purposely harmed.

"How did I not see this?" he asked himself while giving up on the collar. It was a tougher material than he took it for, and obviously didn't break with just a few scratches and twists of it. "well...Maybe if i earn his trust I can escape once he let's me off...So it's a waiting game" he thought to himself, and decided if surviving meant waiting, he would try as hard as he could to please him.
