CHAPTER TWELVE

Elijah continues to cut into jess's skin ignoring her cries for mercy. I sit at the top of the stairs crying my eyes out. I can't believe he's scarring her like this. I can't make out what he's writing but I see more than one letter. 

"Stay...still," Elijah mutters. I want to scream at him. How would he stay still while someone is sinking a knife into his stomach! I keep my mouth shut though, there would be no point in both of us being hurt. 

Finally, Elijah steps away from the table. Jess is sobbing trying to free her hands. Her head is to the side and her hair is over her face. 

"I'm going to untie you now so you can see my work. Behave." He says in a grave tone. Jess's cries are getting softer now and soon they turn to whimpers. I see the blood trickling down her stomach. It looks like it's a lot. He unties her hands and the restraint across her chest and she slowly tries to sit up. She doesn't even make it half way before she lays back down and gasps in pain. 

"I can't," she cries. Elijah unties her feet and drags them over the table, onto the floor, forcing jess to sit up, and then stand. As soon as her feet hit the ground she falls to her knees holding her stomach.

"Elijah, I can't, it hurts," she's crying again and she looks at her hand filled with blood and starts to sob even more. Elijah kneels down and picks her up from her waist. He places her on his shoulder and starts to make his way up the stairs. I get up from the step, and walk back out into the living room. I watch helplessly as he makes his way to the top floor. I follow him up the stairs and into the our room, not his. He places jess gently on the bed and gets blood on the white sheets. 

"I'll go get a first aid kit," he says. He turns and walks out of the room closing the door. I run over to jess and give her a light hug. 

"I'm so sorry, I should've remembered," I whisper.

"Its not your fault, he's crazy. He would have done this eventually. Now he's going to come back acting all sorry. I know his routine," jess says bitterly. 

Elijah walks backs into the room with a first aid kit. He opens it up and begins to clean Jess's wounds. She sucks in her breath a couple times and grips the sheets. Slowly he's cleaning up all the blood and we start to make out what he etched in her skin. 

Five. 

There, written in his crooked handwriting are the letters "f-i-v-e". Jess stares at the letters and I see her nostrils flaring ever so slightly. I look at Elijah's face and he has a satisfied look on it. He looks up and sees her face. 

"You like it?" he asks with a smirk. Remembering the rules and not wanting to get punished again jess simply nods her head.

"Yes, I do." She says through clenched teeth.

"Good, it's going to be on you forever," he laughs. He places bandages on her cuts and stands up. "Alright, bed time. You're going to have to share a bed. Goodnight."

He walks over to jess, bends over and places a kiss on her lips. Jess looks disgusted but quickly changes her face expression when he stands up straight. Then he turns to me. He makes his way over and I feel nauseous. My head is spinning as I see him bring his face closer to mine. I'm praying it's a kiss on the cheek but no such luck. I can feel jess watching and I feel the bile rise in my throat as he places his lips on mine. They're cold and wet. He breaks away after 3 seconds. He gives me a funny look, then turns and heads out the door quickly leaving me and jess alone.
