The monster inside of me.

Chapter 7: The escape

As the three guards approach me, I get up and drop the handgun before placing my hands behind my head. One of them grabs my wrist as he is about to zip tie my wrist together before I duck and grab the handgun before  becoming hesitant. Sam yells

"Pull the trigger!"

I was having trouble pulling the trigger until everything slowed and a voice appeared in my head.

"What are you waiting for?! Pull the trigger!"

"I can't."

The voice gets upsetting before getting stern and saying

"Pull the trigger or they'll kill you both."

I still hesitated to pull the trigger before I saw myself smiling at me and walking up towards me and saying

"Let me help."

I give him the gun before he presses the trigger and releasing two bullets into his chest. He stumbles before falling face first on the hard concrete. I blink before I found myself holding the gun. My hands trembled as I held the gun. The other two guards make no hesitation to draw out their smgs and aim at me. Sam punches the guard distracted by me before knocking him out. Still in my white blood stained uniform, I held the gun firm before one of the guards yell

"Drop the weapons NOW!"

Doing as he asked, we drop our weapons before both of them come into the small cell. Sam walks over to the cell and slams one of the guards to the door making it close and lock. I double kick the guard in front of me before he tackles me on the ground. Sam grabs the smg from the other guard before lighting him up with bullets and aiming the gun at the guard on top of me. We hear footsteps approaching before Sam unlocks the cell door with the guards keys. I grab a handgun before looting a extra clip and slipping it in my shoes. Now running, Sam makes a quick left before sliding across a crate and tackling a guard and knocking him out with a punch. We ran out of room before four guards cornered us. I looked desperately for a way out and saw  a box of explosives positioned near a wall. Sam turns his attention to it and nods at me before drawing his gun. Splitting up and ducking for cover, quick shot the crate of explosives before hearing screams and seeing bodies catapulting away a few feet before not moving. My hands were trembling as I started to whimper and say

"I-I can't do this."

Sam takes notices and cups my face before saying in scary tone

"HEY! Do you want to escape this hell hole?!"

I look at him and nod before he grabs the handgun before saying

"You're a soldier NOW kid! Pick up the handgun and LETS GO!!"

I snap out of it and pick up the gun before Sam points to the debris and runs towards it. I follow closely behind before submachine gun bullets flew all around us. We run into bushes before Sam grabs my arm and pushes me against a tree before whispering

'"Quiet. Don't move a muscle."

I stay quiet before a guard walks in front of Sam. Sam stealthly walk up behind the guard before pulling out his knife and stabbing him in his spine as held the guards mouth closed. Sam signals me to walk.

Evening turning to night

We walk for a few hours before finding a cabin. I walk in with my handgun before Sam follows behind. We canvas the area before I scout the entire perimeter and Sam gives the okay to say the cabin is safe. I look for a bathroom before scavenging it for supplies. Sam sits in a wooden chair before he puts his smg on the table and says

"Finally kid, we made it out that hell hole."

We both chuckle before I ask

"Now what?"

Sam looks around and gets up before opening the fridge. He closes it before searching the cabinets. I pace back and forth before he says

"THANK YOU!"" He says fist pumping the air with two cans of pineapple fruit.

Grabbing his knife, he stabs the top before opening it up and handing it to me.

"Here kid."

I take it before he holds up his can of pineapples says

"To freedom. From that prison."

I drink the juice down before sitting down and looking at the ceiling. He puts the can down before saying

"Sleeping arrangements. We sleep on the floor with our guns near us. And tommorow i'm gonna teach you about hunting."

I yawn before lying under the table and Sam lying next to the door.

In my dream

I move silently through my family home before grabbing the knife and walking upstairs. Stabbing my little brother in his eye before grabbing him by the throat and snapping his neck. I walk into my younger sister room and pick her up before slamming her infant body on the wall and dropping her. I silently go back downstairs and get the gasoline container before  walking upstairs and dousing their bodies in the wet flammable liquid. They awake before I ignite the lighter flame and toss it on the bed.  I see myself across the hallway before he smiles and walks with me downstairs. He whispers and says

"Kill your parents. Torture and torment them like they did to you."

He points to thier room before they pop up in front of me with their skin melting and eyes gone. I look at my hand and see myself holding the knife before I look up and see their deformed faces. My mother screams and yells before she stops still burning and looks at me before running up to me. 

Reality

I woke up screaming before grabbing my gun and aiming it at the pitch black atmosphere.  I exhaled before calming myself and seeing Sam sleeping. I toss the gun near Sam before the voice in my head grows louder and starts to crackle and laugh before saying

"You're pathetic. You should kill Sam."

I begin to cover my ears before the voice gets louder and louder. Laughing and scraping at the walls before other voices that were child like whispered chanted

"Kill him. You should kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him."

I sit up straight before covering my head in my knees as if it was a tornado drill and try my best to block out the voices before yelling

"Get out. Get OUT. GET OUT OF MY HEAD NOW!"

The voices quieted down before Sam woke up and shone a flashlight on me. Seeing me with the handgun rubbing against the side of my skull and shaking violently whispering

"Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out."

Sam gets up and walks towards me before sitting next to me. He calmly eases his fingers to my handgun before clicking the safety on and saying

"Its okay kid. Just lay down the gun"

I follow his directions and put the gun down.

"Good now slide the gun over here."

About to slide the gun, I hear the voice say

"Don't do it. Don't you see he's trying to kill you."

Convcinced at what the voice said, I click the safety off and aim the gun at Sam. He holds his hands up before saying

"Kid this is NOT  a game. Put the gun down."

The voice then says

"Pull the trigger. Do it. You know you want to."

I close my eyes and pull the trigger  before hearing a loud

"thump."
