The Girl With Gifts

Chapter Seventeen

When i finally managed to pry my eyes open, i was in a small room laid delicately on a small bed. In the corner was a toilet and in the corner of the room positioned towards the bed was a camera.

Slowly, i sat up the bed bringing my hand up to rub my temple. What happened? Pain flickered through my body as i remembered the events. What he did to Leo. I jumped slightly realising i was only wearing a white silk night gown. That monster had changed me out of the clothes i was in. I could just imagine the scowl on his horrible face as he did it. He did it because he had caught me with Leo and after kills he wanted nothing to remind him of the 'Traitor' he had killed.

I almost wanted to antagonise him get him angry and make him want to kill me. But i learnt my tactics from that monster, he would work it out that i wanted him to kill me. So i could join Leo and the other friends i had lost due to this monster and tell them how sorry i am, that it was my fault this sicko killed them.

The room was small and painted white. The bed barley took any room it was as if he had bought a dwarf sized bed to not allow me to live like a human. To live like the animal he wanted me to be, again. I was propped up against the bed frame looking around the room. Luckily, he had made sure there was some sort of cover for when i wanted the toilet. One of those olden things. The things the ladies used in films to get changed behind. To the side of the bed there was a bed stand with a glass full of some liquid. Who knows what he put in it.

My hand reached out for it and picked it up. I brought my nose to try and smell. Even if he did put something in the liquid it would not kill me, he wanted me alive. Like he wanted to continue to see me suffering. I slammed the glass down on the table again making the liquid move and some splash out. I scoff. I'm not going to drink that. I do not want too.

It should not have been Leo. He should have stayed, he should not have come with me. He should have stayed with The Rebellion and told them the real reason i was leaving but instead i was selfish. It was my fault. Drops of tears rolled down my face. Poor Leo. Naive Leo. Always wanting to save the girl. He could have done something great and got himself a girl but instead the monster because of me, has stopped him blossoming into the person he could have been.

I flopped down on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling. I did not care what was going to happen to me. Obviously, i did not want it to happen but maybe, just maybe, i deserved it. My dull eyes stared at the ceiling.

If Leo was here what would he be telling me to do? Would he tell me to obey this monster? Act like i'm beginning to be the person he wants me to be before i back stab him or would he tell me to fight him from the get go and then try to leave. What would he do? Honestly, i do not know. I realise now that i knew nothing about him, i only knew what this monster had put him through and now he was gone. With nobody really remembering him and not achieving what he was put on this world to do.

My feet itched for me to walk around and without thinking twice i started to pace the amount of cell that i had. My feet took me towards the door with the little window that i could look out off. Two men were outside on either side of the door however, when i reached for the handle and tried to open the door it just wouldn't budge. Scared of me escaping like last time obviously.

This monster only knew about two of my powers, if i wanted to i could escaped but i do not want to give him another reason to find me valuable, i do not want to spend my whole life looking over my shoulder. This monster had to be dealt with. For Leo.

I spent the next few minutes watching the guards trying to work out a pattern however, they did not move so i gave up. Obviously, he is watching me through that damn camera and i will not be able to do anything without him knowing or finding out through what he captures. I smirk to myself before i give a gesture to the camera and flop on to the bed. In honesty, i hope that pissed him off. I hope he comes down to teach me a lesson, i want him too.

My eyes never leave the door expecting him to come through the door at any given time but when hours passed and the corridor lights turned off, i realised nobody was coming. Not even him.
