PANICKED

CHAPTER 7

When I heard the thud I dropped my plate to the floor and ran down the hall. as I approached the room I heard
"THATS WHAT YOU GET!"
Another loud thud occurred.

I peeked into the room and saw alex's head being banged up against the side of the cage she was placed in.
She tried to push him away with her freed hands but he just hit her head harder.

The right side of her face was bleeding and bruised.

I gasped at the sight.

Alex opened her mouth as if she was screaming but no sound came out. Tears came down her face as the beating didn't seem to stop or slow down. If Leonardo hit her head any harder she'd go unconscious or possibly get enough brain damage and die right here and now.

I can't take watching her in pain anymore than she can taking in the pain.

I step into the room and yell," STOP!"
Leonardo stopped and tensed up as soon as he heard me speak.
"See what you did? You try to communicate with this worthless being and now she's getting hurt because of you." He turned to me and said.
"She's not worthless and she doesn't deserve this. I do."
"I know you do. I haven't a different punishment for you."

Oh no.

He picks up Alex and throws her over his shoulder and flings her on the bed. She is put in a sitting position. He walks to opens up a drawer and takes out some rope.
Leonardo yanks her hands forward and ties them to one of the bed posts.

I am told to sit in one of the seats he has directly in front of Alex on the bed.

I have no idea what my punishment is nor do I know what hers will be. All I did was write to her on a piece of paper and now we could die.

He ties my hands up behind my back against the chair tighter than before. My feet are tied to one of the legs of the chair as well.

I can't escape now.

Leonardo takes his bloody hand and gently touches it across alex's face. He tucks away the hair in front of her face behind her ear.

She begins to shake with fear.

The possibilities of punishment he could do to both of us is endless.

He picks up the glass shard I left in the closet to cut the ropes of Alex's arm. I'm an instant he shoves Alex on her back and opens her mouth as wide as it can go.
Leonardo take the piece of glass and digs it into her gums and begins to saw back and forth vigorously.

I sit helplessly watching and screaming in agony for her.

Leonardo doesn't seem to ever stop this horrible act of torture to her until her four front teeth come out from all his sawing and stabbing from inside her jaw.

He holds in his hand part of her gums with 4 teeth attached.

I feel like I'm going to puke.

Alex's mouth begins to fill with blood. And her eyes are bloodshot from the tears continuing to flood her face.

She lays down unable to move or speak in agonizing pain.
She starts to sit up a little until blood poors out her mouth and unto the bed.

Leonardo laughs at her pain and approaches me with the shard of glass.

I'm about to loose my teeth or worse I thought to thought to my self.

"Here's your punishment." He said with a sinister smile.

Instead of opening my mouth and shoving that piece of glass into my gums he unties my hands and says,
"Kill her."
