Bloody hands

Chapter 10.0 The gearwheel in my head

Ryan's POV

I had just wanted to look after my property when I found her around Jack's room. I decided to guide her to my room.
Selena was a bit annoyed, but I thought that was connected to her headache. I carried her to er room so she could rest and be ready for this evening. I hadn't been home for a while and I had missed our fights over dominance.

"Selena?!" I shouted and pressed her against the wall, both my hands next to her head.
"Where is your bracelet?" I asked in a knowing tone.
"My what?" Selena replied, playing the innocent.
"The silver bracelet, don't play dumb!" I roared and grabbed Selena's chin.
"Must have fallen down. I have become thinner since when you gave it to me." she tried to save herself.

"Give it to me." I ordered. My toy gave me an evil look and made no move to follow me. But this wasn't one of our games, this was more serious.
"Good, if you don't want to..." I mumbled angry and began to search Selena's body up and down for the piece of jewelry.

"Stop it Ryan!" Selena pleaded and began to turn.
"Oh no, I won't. You went against my security measures, now you have to pay the price." I told her and turned her, so that she faced the wall. Slowly, I ran my finger down her back, making Selena pull back instinctively.
I had just reacher her coccyx when I felt something at her upper thigh.

My hand went to said spot. I popped my knee forward to have better control over my property. I pulled a small bracelet out of her pocket, just as I thought.
"Can you tell me what this is?" I asked her angrily. Selena had finally understood the there was no way to escape me now. She didn't say anything, but pressed herself against the wall instead.

"Ryan! I have been searching you forever!" I heard my little brother shout. He would have to pay for this too, not only Selena.
Jack, that useless thing, had programmed the bracelets and I couldn't work with people that didn't do their work properly.
"Jack, move your ass here!" I roared, already angry enough to rip his head off. I felt how he came closer, but I didn't want to take my eyes off Selena. If she ran now we would have no idea where she would go.
With one hand I grabbed my toy at the neck and pressed her against the wall so I could turn to Jack. When he saw my face I could practically feel his fear.

"Do you want to explain me how THIS could happen?!" I yelled and pressed Selena's bracelet into his chest.
"I have no idea Ryan..." he stammered and made three steps back.
"No idea, no idea! Listen up, young man! The only thing you have no idea about is what I am going to do to you now!" I shouted and let Selena, who had become a bit blue in the face, fall to the ground. She wouldn't stand up that fast.

I grabbed into my pocket and pulled my little dagger out that I had always on me and took a swing.
I had always been the more athletic one of the two of us, and I was able to go forward while he had to stumble backwards.
But Jack shouldn't die, he should just get scared.

"Where are you running away brother dearest? Are you scared to fight against me?" I asked him and raised my arm.
Jack just shook his head and stepped back even more. "I am sorry Ryan! It will never happen again, please!"he pleaded with a trembling voice. >Yes, it will never happen again!< I thought and took another swing, cutting a hole into his shirt.

With a murderous look I made faster steps and, when he turned around to be able to run quicker, I grabbed his collar and pulled him in a headlock.
"No Ryan! Let me go!" my brother went on but I was not in a forgiving mood. Torturing slow I put the knife to Jack's throat and always did as if I was going to pull. But I just want to see his tears, until he gave up.

When my brother was about accept his death and pressed the dagger closer to his skin and cut his breathing tube violently. He went to the ground slowly and coughed, in hopes of saving himself from the pain and suffocation. I pushed him for the last time and let him to die alone.

Jack wasn't my brother, he had never been.
He had just been another on of many living objects around me that stood between me and my goal.

"Bernhard!" I shouted to our butler who came running.
"Yes, my Lord?" he asked and gave a quick look to the dead body on the ground.
"Make him disappear and tell my parents. Jack died from food poisoning. They don't need to know more." I ordered and Bernhard bowed hastily, already following my orders. I gave my victim a last look.
The tips of his hair were turning pink from the blood and his head was bent at a weird angle.

"That is the price, that is the price." I mumbled and turned away from Jack.

Selena's POV (a minute before)

I saw how Jack's body dropped to the ground and a puddle of blood build itself around his body. Ryan stepped away from him and said something. I wasn't able to listen, I was under shock.
My hands were over my mouth, even though I would have needed that breath. Bernhard came running and the two began to talk. By now, Jack had stopped moving, he was just lying on the ground.

I knew that his heart had stopped to beat in his chest, that his brain had stopped working in his head, that he was dead.
>No...< I thought and began to cry silently. Ryan turned around again, he was bloody and he had this look that made me freeze and through my head into my hands.

"Selena." I heard him say. And his voice, it was so different, so full of rage, so aggressive.
Suddenly it made 'click' in my head.
A gearwheel was standing now instead of moving, some function had been deactivated.

"Stand up, for god's sake!" Ryan yelled and grabbed me by both arms. "Do you still want to escape?" he asked me in an aggressive tone.
I shook my head almost unnoticeable and stared at the ground. Ryan picked my chin up with his bloody fingers and forced me to look into his demonic eyes.
"Then it's good. Give me a kiss. Ryan ordered and I didn't want to disobey and end up with an open throat like Jack.
Warily, I gave Ryan a kiss and felt how Jack's blood dropped onto me. If I just hadn't tried to escape...

Selena's POV (10 years later)

"I'm home!" I heard a voice from the entrance hall. A hold shiver ran down my whole body.
"Living room." I shouted and fixed my sweater. Suddenly I felt two hands on my waist.
"Hello amore. STop shaking." Ryan ordered and I tried to get a grip on myself.
"Yes." I mumbled while his hands turned me around.

Back then, ten years ago, my will for freedom had been deactivated, but never activated ever again.
I wasn't living anymore, I was just trying not to die. But Ryan was not allowed to find out, he would get angry. I couldn't let that happen.
"How is Jack?" Ryan asked. I picked our child up from his bed.
"Good." I said and began to rock the baby. I knew that he would be like his father, a yandere. I did not know why, but it couldn't be different.

The knowledge that I was imprisoned here forever was not the worst. It wasn't the fact that I was Ryan's 'property' either.
It was the thought that my own flesh and blood would be like his father and one day, a scared girl or a frightened boy would show up here, just to end like I did.

Had I just not tried to escape...

A/N: Fourth end.
