Forever Mine [Yandere Rivals]

Chapter 2: Escape

--------------------------

"Stupid lock..." I mumbled as I jiggled the shard of glass in the key hole, hoping that it wouldn't snap in half mid-process. A sudden creak sent me dead silent as I waited for any signs of danger.

.... None.
Ignoring the previous noises I continued to try and pick lock my way of the damned cell.

I didn't have much time left before Uni-chan would come down to check up on me. And if she were to see me and what I was doing, I would be reminded of who was in charge.

I shivered involuntarily as the thought crossed my mind of the previous punishments I had to endure because of my stubbornness and stupidity.
My hands shook more than before, with the memories still fresh in my mind, they began to clam up in fear. I swallowed back the fear, took a deep breath, and held the shard flat before trying once more to pick the lock. After a couple more seconds I heard a click and the lock popped open.

It popped open...
It was open...

I gaped at the open gate and looked at the shard in my hand, surprised that it worked and not broken like I had imagined it would of. A feeling of relief and comfort engulfed me before I quickly stumbled out of cell, making sure not to make any noise.

Step by step, inch by inch, I made sure to place my feet carefully. Avoiding clothes places and the red rug, over the cable cords and stains. I made sure to not make any noise.

I can't afford to get caught.

I just can't.

I don't want to go back there.

Is this how Asu felt when I kidnapped her? Will I end up as her? Death at the front of this house, dropped into the river, everyone thinking it was a suicide? Will she ever be caught?

Why wasn't I better person?

My hands shook violently as I made it to the door. Carefully, I opened the door. I sucked my breath in as the door creaked, the hinges clearly rusted. I had half my mind scream at me to go back to the cell and lock myself in before she came back. But I stood my ground, muscles clenched and tense. Seconds passed by, then minutes and maybe even hours. I stood completely still, I don't want to move. I don't want to open the door and further, I don't want to turn the corner and find Uni-chan, knife in hand and handcuffs in the other.

I don't want punishment.

Is this what I get for killing? For hurting people? God... Why are you doing this to me?!

I'm waiting for something to happen. Anything. It never came.

Hesitantly I peer out through the small crack of the door. Nothing. No signs of anyone or anything. The house was dead silent, it was still. My hopes flared, maybe she had left and now was my only chance to leave this hell hole. Without bothering about noise, I ran out the door. I tripped over my shaking feet and stumbled through the hallway. I got to a door with a peek hole. I tried to pull open the door but it was locked. I tried to mess with the lock but it wouldn't open. Growing desperate I go to the kitchen, my foot and head ached with past memories. I looked through the cabinets, looking for something to open that lock with. I caught a glimpse of a meat hammer and ran back to the door.
