Candle Lit

Berts POV ~ Spinning

Bullseye.

The screw embeds itself inside the lady's neck, making a small squishing sound. Her shocked face makes me smile with satisfaction. 

Her shock turns to anger, fury. She furrows her brow and walks towards me arms outstretched, completely forgetting about her new piece of jewellery. As she steps nearer almost silently, I lift the wine bottle and swing it at her. She steps back to duck out the way and the torch is sent rolling to the corner of the room, leaving us in darkness.

I blindly swing it again in the direction i think she is in. But i don't know anymore, I just don't know.

I feel a gust of gentle wind to my right, unnerving me. I back the hell up into a cold hard wall. The torch starts to flicker as the juice in the battery is dying. I pray silently as the wall moves.

I am wedged forward unsuspectingly as the wall comes forward very slowly with a horrible screech of concrete on metal. It makes an eerie screech and my hands fly to my ears to block out this horror. It surrounds me on all sides, the room must have shrunk so much by now.

The walls stop moving and i pray a sigh of relief as i see the torch on the farthest wall about 2 metres away in contrast to the 5 or 6 it was earlier. I smile and rest my head against the wall, happy to not be crushed to death as the torch goes out and leaves me in complete darkness.

I wave the bottle out randomly in front of me, my heart trying to explode from my chest as i feel something brush against the back of my neck. It makes me run forward into the open empty room, exposed completely.

The blackness is like being endangered on all sides with no control. I am in a black hole. This thing is so powerful and i can't see it.

A quick figure brushes against my shoulder, then the back of my knee. I open my mouth as a hand runs slowly along the back of my ankles, mocking me.

I sink to the floor, tears welled up in my eyes. Completely powerless right now. I sit curled up in a ball, trying to calm my breathing as it strokes my open back.

Shhhhhh my love, it will be over soon. you will see your little friend again soon.

A little whimper escapes my shaking body as i stand.

It caresses my hair giving a playful laugh.

I stand again slowly, my head feeling like it is being squeezed tightly by a powerful force. I spin around swinging the bottle as i realise the pan is gone from my waist. 

I gulp down the fear as my shivering hands try to hold onto the bottle.

Suddenly a massive blast of wind to my left pushing me out the way. Something runs round me as I find myself in the middle of a tornado of wind and force. My body is swayed forward and back, pushing me, pulling me, tormenting me.

I am shoved with brute force near to the ground where it catches me and throws me backwards again. I swing my weapon at in and kick but it keeps going.

It swirls round and round, dizzying my sense of direction. My head spins and my eyes roll around, of no use to me. I look around, trying to find any light and lean my head forward to see what is around me in the dark. I move my head forward as far forward as i can, right into my pan swung at full force.

I am thrown back onto the cold floor and am left alone to spin and spin and spin.

My head stops swirling and the colourful specs inside my eyes go away. My nose hurts and when i place my hand on it comes back wet.

I hear a muffled laugh close by.

I crawl forward, my poor body falling from side to side as i step up onto one foot and then the other. I squint into the darkness.

"COME OUT YOU B**CH, YOU KILLED MY FRIEND, I WILL MAKE YOU PAY" I shriek with full force into the silence. 

Ok, dear. if that's what you want..

A fake sweet voice replies immediately.

Here

It says, coming from every direction. The voice bouncing off everything, giving me no idea where she is. Great.

I look into the room, concentrating every brain cell on looking into this dark void. I scan the blackness, with little success. I swivel my body, scanning every millimetre of space. Into the darkness, i peer immensely, nothing. No sign in this nothingness.

Then a light appears, brighter than anything i have ever seen, the sweet lady's face appears in the centre of it. She smiles at me, to which i glare back. She looks confused for a second then her face morphs into an enraged inhumane thing as the white glow becomes red-tinged. It then rushes towards me with immense speed, forcing itself into my unsuspecting naive self.

I am thrown backwards as a freezing presence makes itself known inside of me. I scream, unprepared for this encounter. My body is being ripped apart, from the inside out. 

I feel my chest lift to the sky, completely illuminated by this unbelievably white light. I am floating, the pain of my life being sucked out of me so overwhelming i feel nothing. I am numb. I smile as i think of Oli as my eyes shut and I lie back, dropping the bottle as my body turns limp...
