In the mind of a serial killer

~Chapter 6 ☠️

I studied the bin, contemplating whether or not I should open it.

For all I knew, it could be another dead body.

But I guess there was only one way to find out..

I stepped closer to the bin, slowly lifting the lid.

I squeezed my eyes shut and then moments later I heard Lily gasp.

But I couldn't recognise her gasp.

Was it a gasp of surprise or a gasp of horror?

"You have to open your eyes Paige. You need to see this" Lily said, gently shaking my arm.

The last time she said that I had gotten the biggest shock of my life.

I slowly opened my eyes.

I have to be dreaming.

There's no way this is real.

Did I say that I had already received the biggest shock of my life?

Well I take that back.

I stared at her unconscious body. Still In shock.

"Caitlin?" I whispered, shaking her arm.

I mean there was a chance she was still alive..

Right?

I put my ear against her pulse and was amazed by what I heard.

"She's still alive! Quick we have to take her inside..she's ice cold!" I ordered grabbing Caitlin's  arms in a hurry.

Lily grabbed her legs and we slowly carried her through the back door and on to the couch.

Lily quickly went to grab some cushions and a blanket.

We splashed water on her face, hoping she would wake up.

After a few splashes, one of her eyes flinched following with the other.

"Caitlin" I said patting her face so that she would wake up.

Her eyes slowly fully opened. They gazed around to her surroundings and then her eyes stopped at me.

Her eyes widened and her face turned.. almost..grey?

She got up in a flash and backed away "pplease don't hurt m-me.. I beg you- I'm sorry!"

The fear in her eyes was more than I could take in.

Tears began to gather up in my eyes as I slowly backed away from her.

"Wait, Paige.. come back!" Lily called after me

"J-just give me time, I need time.."

"was that really necessary?" She asked Caitlin.

I ran up to my room and slammed the door shut.

I fell onto my bed, crying all the tears I had left.

If this how my life was going to be like, I don't want it anymore.

But I'm going to have to live with it..

I'm dangerous.

What if I end up hurting Lily too?

How many lives will be threatened.. because of me?

I am no More than the root of the problem

I am no more than a killer who needs to be chained up.

I am no more than a person who loves to kill.

A person who wants to rip Lily's throat out.

Now where do I keep the knives?

I crawled off my bed and grabbed the pocket knife which lay on my drawer.

Someone's going to die tonight.

And I can guarantee you it won't be me.

I opened my room door and made my way out into the hallway.

I crept down stairs, closer to where my prey lay.

Step 1: pretend to be Paige

I walked into the living room to find Lily crouched down onto the floor, talking to Caitlin.

I see they got my surprise..

"Caitlin! Are you feeling better now?" I asked, looking worried.

Caitlin looked at me, probably wondering whether she should be afraid of me  or not.

"It's okay Caitlin..remember what I told you. This is the good Paige." Lily whispered to her.

"Yes.. much better...thanks" she replied awkwardly.

Lily flung her head forward, trying to gesture something at Caitlin.

Caitlin nodded back and turned her eyes to me.

"Come sit with us" asked Caitlin, looking quite uncomfortable.

I came and sat next to her on the couch and couldn't help but notice her flinch as my legs touched her foot.

Well who could blame her..

I did abuse her in every way you could while her time with me.

But you know.. the past is the past.

"I understand if you don't want anything to do with me," I sniffled, wiping away a tear.

"No-it wasn't your fault!" She said, looking at me with eyes full of pity.

"Should we call someone...your parents perhaps?"

No no no no no no no

"No please don't..the last thing I want to do right now is tell everyone where I was and what I went through. I don't want to live through it again. Just give me time please,"

Fewww!

That's my girl!

Now..what would Paige say..

"Take all the time you need Caitlin..we're here for you," I said, smiling at her

"Thank you," She says, smiling back at me with her annoying little smile.

"We won't force you to tell us anything. But just know, if you need someone to talk to, we're here for you babe," Lily said, hugging her.

Ugh. All the love in this room is making me sick. I can't stand a minute longer in this room.

I guess I'll have to speed things up.

"Um..Lily.. go get Caitlin some water.. she doesn't look dehydrated and it'll give us some time to catch up." I say to Lily.

She nods and gets up, leaving the room.

I have about 2 minutes precisely.

I got up from the couch and walked towards Caitlin.

Before she could stutter another word, I grabbed her neck and squeezed it with all my strength.

"L-Lil-" she tried to scream out Lily's name but that only pushed me to squeeze harder.

Her eyes were bulging and her face was turning purple from all the pressure I was applying onto her.

She used the energy she had left to pull herself away from my grip but I was too strong.

Perks of being a human devil..

"Put your hands in the air and turn around!"

I froze.
