Stockholm Syndrome

Chapter 29

Liu's Pov

It was quiet and dark. The sound of the house creaking from the wind reached my ears. I opened my eyes to see my bedroom and sat up. Looking around I saw the familiar band posters hanging on my walls, my computer on my desk and the clean carpet floor. Getting out of bed I saw the bathroom light on. 'Jeff must be up.' I thought as I walked past the door. Gently knocking on it I softly called out, "You in there Jeff?" When I didn't get an answer I slowly opened the door. I wish I hadn't, the scene was horrifying. The once white sink and floor tiles were red, dripping with blood. I looked at the mirror with my mouth agape. Writing in blood was 'GO TO SLEEP'. I backed out of the bathroom and ran to my parents' room but stopped when I saw them. They were dead, throats slit, multiple stab wounds, and smiled carved into their faces. I was violently pushed the the ground and someone straddled my hips. Opening my eyes I saw my little brother, eyelids burnt and cheeks cut into a terrifying smile. "J-Jeff, what did you do!" Why did you kill them!" I asked and he shrugged. "I don't know, now GO TO SLEEP Liu!" I was then filled with confusion. Jeff was repeating my name and shaking my shoulders but his voice sounded female. "Liu wake up! Come on it's just a dream!" 'What?" "WAKE UP!" I snapped my eyes open and hit whoever was waking me up. "Ah shit Liu." I was panting and sweating as my gaze traveled down to a (H/C) haired (E/C) eyed girl sitting on the floor covering her mouth. She moved her hand and I saw blood staining her white teeth. The image reminded me of Jeff's cut smile and I jumped out of bed into the bathroom to empty my stomach. (Y/N) came in and started to take care of her mouth. I was shaking from the sight and my nightmare. She cleaned the sink and looked worriedly at me. "Liu, are you ok?" She asked and delicately placed her small hand on my shoulder. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" I lashed out at her and she retracted her hand from my shoulder. I closed my eyes gripping the sides of the toilet tightly. After sitting there for a while I took a deep breath and flushed it. Shakily standing up I went to the sink and rinsed my mouth and washed my face. Stumbling out of the room I saw (Y/N) cast a worried glance at me from the bed. "You ok now?" She quietly asked but I didn't reply. She grabbed the room key and whatever she brought and gently grabbed my hand. I absent mindlessly followed her to the from desk as she paid for the night and handed her key in. Bidding a farewell she took us to the car and I sat in the passenger seat. "Where are we going?" She asked and I tried to speak but my body wouldn't listen to my mind. So instead of driving she sat there in silence with me. 'It's his fault all that happened.' The voice now known as Sully said. "I know, it's his fault. All his fault." I replied with and (Y/N) looked at me. "Where are we going Liu?" I shook my head to clear the thoughts. I needed to focus, that night happened years ago. "I'll drive." I sharply said and got out of the passenger seat. "No Liu, I will. You're pale and have bags under your eyes. Just tell me where we're going and you can sleep while I drive." I gritted my teeth as she argued and looked around to see no one. Opening the driver's door I grabbed her hair and pulled her out of the seat. "I think you've forgotten who's in charge here. I. Am. Now get in the back seat or I WILL, kill you." Her eye's widened in fear and quickly she moved to the back. Turning the car on I looked back at her. "Give me the phone." She reached into her pocket and handed me the phone, almost dropping it. I went to the texts and found the address again and continued to drive.
