The Neighbor (Fully Edited)

Chapter 17: Why? (Edited)

One Hour Later...

Everyone was at the kitchen table staring at the plate of food. Each of them had one wrist taped. Ethan comes from the basement with Kristine who was conscious but pale. He sits her down on the left end of the table next to Cass then sits down next to her. He didn't tape her wrist. She stares at the bowl of soup that was in front of her. Ethan starts to eats. After a few bites he noticed he was the only one eating

Ethan: Well come on now, eat

They just stare at the food. Ethan hits his hand on the table while getting up. Ash snaps out of it starts eating. He glares at Cass but she doesn't eat so he walks over to her. He grabs her hand, places it on the fork then on the food, and puts it in front of her mouth. Christine glared at him as she watches, along with Axl

Ethan: Eat it

She slowly puts the fork in her mouth

Ethan: Mmm...Mmm..Mmm yummy

Suddenly, Kristine grabs the fork from Ethan's plate and stabs him in the hand. He yells as he looks at his hand up close. She quickly runs to the basement door. He takes the fork out then sees Kristine run in the basement

Ethan: KRISTINE!

He runs after her, closing the door behind him. Everyone just stares at the door

Ash: What do we do?

Axl: We get the fuck out of here

Cass: What are we waiting for then?

They all grab their forks and starts poking at the tape. They can hear things breaking down in the basement. Ash drops her fork

Ash: Fuck

They hear footsteps coming up the stairs

Axl: Shit

Him and Cass put their forks down

Axl: Stay calm

The door opens. Ethan comes out holding the back of Kristine's head, pulling her out of the room then closing the door. He drags her to the table. He sets her on the chair, this time taping both her wrists. She starts tugging at it for a couple of seconds then stops and glares at him. He gets in her face

Ethan: What the hell were you thinking pulling that shit on me? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!

She looks away from him and anger. He shows her his hand which was bleeding

Ethan: Look what you did to me

She stays staring at the floor

Ethan: LOOK AT IT!

He grabs her face and makes her look at him

Ethan: Look at it bitch

She slowly moves her eyes to it then back at him. He lets go of her face, lightly pushing it away. He stands  then puts his hand on his face

Ethan: Why would you do that? Why? Why? Why?!

He grabs the bowl on the table and throws it to the wall. Everyone including Kristine jumps. He goes in the kitchen and puts his hands on the sink, catching his breath. He didn't care that his head was bleeding all over the place. He looks at the glass cabinet and stares at his reflection. He suddenly starts banging his head on the glass until it cracks and finally stops. He starts making noises. At first it sounded like he was crying but then starts laughing. Everyone at the table looks at him in shock, terrified of him. He stops

Ethan: Kristine

He looks at her from the cracked reflection of the glass. He glares

Ethan: Kristine
