and even though i know it's too late, i cannot help but stand and watch this run its bloody course. because i'm here, my body still stitched together with my hopes and now luke is falling apart. he begins to choke, more blood falling from those pretty lips. his fists are clenched, fisting the rabbit's shirt in a desperate attempt to find him off. yet the blade is half way through his chest, the blood soaking his t-shirt as my screams continue.

luke is pulled up with the knife, his chokes something out of a horror movie. and then, with abruption, the knife is pulled out. the glistening of luke's blood causes me to fall to my knees, my mouth running dry as i watch the only person i've ever loved to die before my eyes.

the reflection in my eyes is most likely a horrific reflection. i don't know how i will unsee this, yet the stabbing continues. the knife is thrust in and out of luke's chest, this tea party more of a blood bath.

i'm suddenly pulled under, the screams and the cries blurred and distorted as i rest my head against the bitterly cold concrete floor and scream. i scream louder than i have ever screamed, the tears pouring as the blood pours from luke.

the sharp blade of the knife that is pulled out of luke's chest pulls me back to the surface. and then the blade clatters against the floor, the deafening nose causing me to collapse to the floor again. i begin to scream as i'm pulled up from under my arms, luke's blood smeared on my clothing. i weakly stand up, not fighting anymore.

"kill me," i breathe out. "just... just do it." i quietly sob.

he leans me against the wall, my knees buckling as i stare back at this horrific human.

"you... you killed the person i loved," i sob. i begin to scream again, the tears spilling onto my cheeks as the realisation luke is gone floods into my mind, the freshness of the reminder like sea salt washing into the room. "you fucking killed him!" i shriek, harshly pushing him away.

i'm pinned to the wall as i fight and scream, the terror coursing through my body. all of a sudden, death scares me. yet i want to go.

"i'm not killing you," he lowly says. "be quiet and stand still."

his voice is calmer than usual.

"we're done with you," he says. "thank you for joining the tea party. are you happy you survived?"

i cannot answer because i have no idea if i should be happy. i'm not happy nor am i relieved. i'm broken and distraught.

he walks towards the table again, gently pushing kian out of the way before picking up the pink cake.

"have this cake," he says. "you cannot leave until you eat it."

i rigidly shake my head, pushing my cheek to the wall. "no, no!"

"eat it," he says with more force. "eat the fucking cake."

i begin to cry as it is unwillingly forced into my mouth. i don't fight back at he closes my mouth. i begin to chew, my whole life slipping through my fingers. i don't know the consequences and i'm not sure if i care.

the tears stream down my face as i swallow and stare back at the rabbit. his releases his grip on me as i relax against the wall, gasping with relief.

"now you can go," he says, reaching into his pocket. he pulls out a small, golden key which sits in the palm of his hand. he presses it into my hand, his bloody glove giving me the chills. "find your way home." he says.

i stare back at him with confusion pulling my eyebrows together. this feels too unreal to be true. i force myself not to look at luke as i weakly make my way to the door, my feet shuffing across the concrete floor.

in a daze, i slip the golden key into the golden key hole, my fingers trembling. and i twist, the light already pouring in through the small crack in the door.

i open it wide, glancing back at the rabbit staring back at me. i don't say a word and neither does he as i stare out into the dusty fairground which looks almost like wonderland.

the haunting, pastel and golden rides send chills down my spine. as i approach the carousel, i feel my body going weak. something feels unfamiliar and worrying.

i feel terrible. it feels like i've been stabbed in the heart, it really does. it's indescribable. it hurts.

my knees buckle as the ground begins to approach my face, my-
