Part 5

In the kitchen

Ethan was untied from the chair and then tied to a hook on the wall while Hannah was tied to the chair Ethan was just moved from. They both were gagged with a type of dish cloth.

As Ethan hung on the wall he tried to break free but he couldn't. Logan grunted and muttered to himself as he searched the kitchen for something. Logan came across a draw and smiled giddily to himself. He pulled out four large knifes and began waving them around like a child pretending to be a ninja. He started to hum the theme tune to bull's-eye. He made a moo' sound and threw a knife at Ethan. It missed him by a inch just scratching his leg.

The next knife he threw went into his other leg. Hannah let out a cry in pain as she watched her brother howl. The next knife went into his forearm. Just below were he was tied up. Logan then placed the final knife down and took off Hannah's gag.

"Stop. please. Just stop. I'll do anything for you to just stop hurting him" Hannah pleaded.

"Anything?" Logan hummed

"Sure." Hannah said through her teeth chattering. Like she was cold.

"Sing for me" Logan went over to Ethan and leant on him like a drunk buddy. Ethan whined in pain.

"Okay. Okay I'll do it. Just. Get away from him"

"Take it away doll face"

"What do you want me to sing then?" Hannah said in disgust.

"Call me crazy. No. A fool in love. Sing something about US" Logan moved his hands to be enthusiastic 'My name in lights'

"So you want a song about a psychopath who is about thirty maybe and is in 'love' with a sixteen year old girl. I don't know or want to know any songs like that. do you?"

"Very funny. Fine do you play chess?

"Yes but not in years"

Logan left the kitchen and started rumbling around in the next room. Hannah squirmed out of her bounds and ran over to her wounded twin.

"You didn't run? Why?" Logan leant against the door holding the chess set and board.

"Simple. You would have caught me and then killed him" Hannah scowled while putting pressure on Ethan's woundso.

Logan left hannah standing there while he set up the game. One everthing was set up he grabbed the knife and pointed to the chair smiling.

The game had begun. Ethan watched his sister. He knew she was good at logic so she would win.

"If I win you let us go" Hannah told.

"And if I win? Or should I say when I win"

"Name it"

Logan laughed then put hannah in check.

"If I win. I kill him."

Hannah swallowed hard. She licked her lips and nodded.

"Deal" Hannah said scanning the boArd with her eyes.

Logan smiled and the game continued.

"And that my dear is check mate" Logan laughed.

Hannah turned white and looked at the board again. With a sigh of relief she moved her knight over and sat back in her chair.

"Now it is" Hannah sighed.

Logan began clapping slowly. Mocking her almost. Hannah wiped away the few tears that fell as she watch Logan pick up the knife again and walk over to the other side of the kitchen.
