"All you need to do to keep her alive is keep your mouth shut and not talk back." A male voice said.
Kate eyes eyes widened as did mine. I could feel my heart drop. The door unlocked and Mr. Benson walked in.
"I know you kids are awake." He said walking closer to us.
We both remained still.
"So, Jack?" He started.
"Your sister is telling you to try and save yourself. If you're successful in getting help, then you come back and rescue her. Do I have everything right so far?" He asked with a devious smile on his face.
The both of us sat up.
"But you're afraid that my wife or I may hurt her, perhaps hurt her so badly that it may take her life? Why would I do that to her?" He asked with the same smile on his face.
"Go ahead, try and escape." He said.
"Just letting you know, that if you somehow escape. Your sister will be killed." He said with a serious face now.
"That goes for you too." He said pointing his finger at Kate.
[kate]
"That goes for you too." He said pointing his finger at me.
Tears started to roll down my face.
Mr. Benson walked over to me and put his face real close to mine. He took his thumb and wiped a tear from my face.
"You're going to be mine now... Forever." He whispered.
"Perhaps now would be a great time to get our day started." He said backing away.
"What time is it?" Jack asked.
"Not too bad, 1:32 am." He said looking at his watch.
Kate and I looked at each other.
"Come with me." He demanded.
Jack and I stood up and followed him out the door.
"Helen! Wake up the brats are in for a treat." He said banging on a door.
Jack squeezed my hand tight.
He led us outside and behind the shack was another smaller shack, a garage. He opened the large door and there were two seats set up about 5 feet apart from each other on a platform about 3 feet off the ground.
The woman, apparently her name is Helen, walked in.
"Get up there." Mr. Benson said pushing us towards the platform.
(I'm just gonna call Mr. Benson Howard from now on)
I sat down in a chair and Helen came up to me and tightly secured me to the chair with the buckles that locked in your wrists and ankles.
She walked back down and joined Howard.
"They had a plan to break out." Howard explained.
"Oh really." Helen replied with a smirk similar to her husbands.
"Did you tell them what would happen if they did break out?" She asked.
"I did and now I want to give them a little glimpse of what it's like to go against your parents like that." He exclaimed.
"You'll never be our parents!" Jack shouted.
"I thought that I had already told you about what would happen if you talked back." Helen scolded.
"Kill me, just kill me." He said.
"Jack?!" I said to him.
"Where's the fun in killing the kid who disobeyed my rules? It's better to watch him suffer and watch his own twin sister be killed in front of his eyes." Helen said.
"And have to live knowing that it was his fault that his sister is dead." She added.
My heart was beating out of my chest.
"NO! Don't kill her." Jack begged.
He began to sob.
"Don't kill her." He said quietly.
"Bring him down here." Helen demanded to Howard.
He went onto the platform and took Jack while he was in his chair. And brought him down in front of the platform.
Helen came and stood next to me with her right hand behind her back.
I had taken me until now to realize that I had been hysterically crying. I had been so caught in the moment to realize anything else.
Howard was holding Jack's head towards me so that he couldn't look away.
"Please don't do this." I said calming myself down.
"It's funny how you think I'm going to listen to you." She said and laughed.
She pulled her right hand out from behind her back and in it was a knife.
I started to cry again and I could also hear my brother crying now.
Helen walked over to a machine that sharpened the knife. Sparks flew off the knife. She walked back over to me with the knife in her hand.
She pressed the long side of the knife up to my upper arm causing it to burn me because it was so hot.
I screamed.
"You don't have to do this." I said.
"Oh, but I want to." She said with a grin on her face.
She brought the knife right in front of my neck.
"No! No! Stop!" Jack screamed.
Howard out his hand over Jack's mouth, but I could still hear his muffled screaming.
Then, she pressed the knife to my neck.
Bang, bang, bang.
