~*~ Penni’s POV ~*~
I looked down into the crystal blue water. I could see a school of fish swim under the surface, not paying any attention to me. They swam over the unusually smooth lake rocks. It looked like something out of a little kid’s book or movie. I looked over to Slendy, who was watching me play in the water. “This is surreal! How did you find this?!”
He chuckled slightly at me. “A proxy of mine would come here with his girlfriend when they were human. I don’t think he remembers it, but I thought it was beautiful.”
“It really is! Almost like the fairy tales Daddy would read me before bed.” I said, making my way out of the water.
“You really loved your father, didn’t you?”
“Well, yeah. He was the one there for me when I would fall down or hurt myself or some kids would pick on me at school. Mom always took Kathrynne. I think that’s why his death has affected me more and I got the blame. I just wish I would’ve stayed inside that day, then we’d all be alive and happy.”
“Maybe, but then do you know how much harder it would’ve been for me to get to you? You’re father would’ve probably been extremely protective of you.”
“I’m positive he would’ve been. He died protecting me from whatever killed him. I was there and I saw the fucking bastard and I can’t even remember what it was.”
“And that is why you blame yourself.”
“Exactly.” I said, lowering my head as I felt tears brimming my eyes. The simplest conversations about my father hurt me still.
“Don’t cry, my dear. We still have all day here, I have Masky and Hoodie taking care of anything that needs to be done today.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Thank you.” I said, leaning into kiss him. When I pulled away, everything looked different. There was no fairy tale lake, no colorful fish or green trees, and most of all no Slender, just dark. It wasn’t the comforting dark, like when Slender had saved me. It was a terrible darkness, the cliché horror movie kind. There was a sharp pain on my wrists, probably from handcuff. The only sound I could hear were the clicks of the seconds ticking by. Brilliant.
“Hello?” I called out, hoping that there might just be someone in the room.
“Penelope.” A voice came from the darkness. A voice I haven’t stopped hating in three years. Matthew.
“Where the fuck am I and why aren’t rotting away in some cell?”
“Tsk tsk. Language Pen, someone as important as you I would assume to have decent manners.” He said, an irritating tone to his voice.
“Says the guy who raped me.” I snapped at him, almost growling. I didn’t even bother asking why I was ‘important’.
“False charges. You never exactly said no.” He snapped back.
“But I did say I didn’t want it. The last time I checked ‘stop’ and ‘I don’t want this’ isn’t consent for you two have your terrible way with me.”
“And you let the one who killed your father have his way with you.”
“How the fuck do you know about any of that?” I growled at him.
“That’s a minor detail for later. Right now, I think I should feed you. I though you knew better than to starve yourself, and for some parasite to this world. I’m quite ashamed of you Penni.”
“Last time I checked, I didn’t give two fucks about what you thought of me.” Just as the words escaped my mouth I heard the sound of skin slapping and felt a stinging pain on my right cheek.
“That’s a warning. We play nice here. Now I’m going to unlock your handcuffs and turn on the light, I’ll be back in half an hour to decide if you get to keep your privileges.”
I heard him unlock my handcuffs, freeing my hands, before moving to the light switch. One he turned it on, it took all my might not to lash out and attack him. There was something about seeing his disgusting face, that annoying smirk that constantly played on his lips. I wasn’t scared of him anymore. I was disgusted with him. He had hurt me, he had left me so broken only to deal with my already shitty life alone. He promised he’s be there. He lied.
He carefully put in a number pin by the door and exited the room. I looked around my small cell. It was quite sanitary for God knows where, with everything being and non-shiny metal. There sat a tray of food on a small table in the corner. Next to the table was a small bed, also metal, with a mattress, a single pillow, and a small throw blanket. My throw blanket. I had left it at his house after he had raped me. I shook my head and looked at the other wall. There was a toilet, shower, and some paper towels and toilet paper.
I rubbed my wrists as I made my way to the tiny table. I noticed the food was the McDonalds I had when I left home. I sat down and unwrapped the sandwich and began eating in the total silence. I hated it. I’d grown so used to hearing Sally’s irrelevant talk that I missed it. I missed everyone actually. It’s funny how quickly everything can change.
I soon finished eating and decided to lay down on the bed until Matthew decided to grace me with his presence again. The bed, if it could be called that, was just as uncomfortable as I had thought it would be. The springs creaked under my weight and I could feel them through the mattress pinching into my skin.
I could not have fucked up more. I was kidnapped right after I had yelled at almost everyone at that house. I deserved it in some way, letting my anger get the better of me. I didn’t say things I didn’t mean, but I shouldn’t have left. I wanted to hate Slender, and Eyeless was being a jerk, but I shouldn’t have said it. I shouldn’t have left. I should’ve stayed, maybe talked things through.
I felt a tear trickle down the side of my face and I didn’t care. I just wanted to go home.
AN: Lame and short chapter I know, hate me later. The next one will be far more interesting I promise. Um, I promised the reveal of one of my covers and I'm not going to back down now, but fair warning it can change and I may decide not to use either. I just want to know which on you guys like more. You'll have to go on my Twitter to see it because Wattpad's acting weird (see Twiiter thing in last AN). So yeah, THANK YOU ALL FOR 15K+ READS!! I've been in a bad mood lately and everytime I look at the reads it just makes me soo happy!! Love you all! Vannahxx
