An Unexpected Bend

Death

"Mia, Mia, are you with me mia?"
"Momma!?"
"No u dumbass what the hell is the matter with u ?"
I could barely see but I recognised the voice. It was unmistakably Ray.
"Wha- jsv-huh!?"
"Yeah u r alive ,big shocker ,now get up."
I followed the instructions as I had lost the ability to think at that moment.
"Did I - did I actually shoot myself" I asked , utterly confused, sitting upright on the same bed I woke up when I was knocked out my chloroform.
" Yeah woman ,that was crazy. You surprised me I didn't know you were willing to go that far for your friend"
"Then how-"
"How u r alive? U see that was the same gun I shot the air hostess with. It doesn't have bullets, it has a ball of blood and a trampulizer, perfectly engineered by , everyone's favourite, me. It is enough so fake someone's death he he he!!"
He said with an innocent kind of grin in his face. That was the first time I ever saw an expression that was humane. That was the first time I ever thought that this cold creature may actually have a heart buried inside after all. It made me feel a bit warm.
"So u didn't kill her after all" I said with my eyes closed and a sweet girly smile.
"Ugh! Now stop bugging me. I was not gonna tell u this cause ,well , why should I but u would not stop chattering about that god awful gult ridden story of yours.."
"Oh so u do care if I am guilt ridden or not huh?" I said in a flirtatious manner
"No it was getting really annoying that's it now do not show me that disgusting smile. God bless the person who would ever fall for u"
"Yeah okay" won't deny that was a bit embarrassing and enough to throw my self esteem out of the window . But then I noticed something a bit more important. A video camera which was set in my room.

"Why is that here?" I said pointing at the camera.
"Oh thaaat... well u remember about the whole 'bait plan'.
Yeeeeah that didn't work out quite well. Prude is apparently more cold than u can imagine. Tho he was concerned in fact very concerned about you but he still didn't give in. So we came up with a little improvisation."
Then he got and fetch a tool box not very far from us
"So I am kindda gonna hurt u a bit."
He took out a very fancy and sharp dagger from that box. The dagger could slit anyone's throat open ease. I could feel my heart sink and my life replaying in front of me.
"Then we will record it using that camera and send it to McHatem."
God these guys are complete psychopaths. Are they really gonna do this? Come on he didn't even kill that air hostess this is also just a game. I am sure of it. There is no reason to worry.

"So u gonna play some other trick over here huh?"
"Oh sweetie," he caught hold of my left hand, "If only I gave a fuck"then he placed that dagger right beside my pinki finger in a perfect position to chop it off. I was scared like really scared but I wore that smile and said
"Nahhhh! I know that u won't you jus-"I choked
I then had four fingers in my left hand. The fifth one was on the floor. Oh that pain was more that anything that I have ever experienced. I wanted to shout so loud that not a squeak left my throat. It was almost like a black out. Silenece, that is what I heard, silence. I looked down and the clean floors were now covered with my DNA. Ray took the detached finger and threw it into the dustbin.

"Okay Mia u gotta shout now" saying his he punched me in my stomach and everything came out like a thunderstrom. I shouted with the largest amplitude possible. I shouted and shouted and shouted. The pain was so damn unbearable.

Why? Why did this happen to me just why? I have never let anyone feel pain then why oh god why this penalty? What for?

I didn't stop screaming and crying for a while. By the time I realised that there is no more stamina left in me to do so I just laid down and sobbed. Ray had already left of course with the video camera.
Just when I started to think there is something humane about him he does this. I bet he didn't even look back after getting his own will. Monsters monsters they are.

Then a sweet looking man entered. He had big kind eyes with brown hair and fair skin. He was rather a bit skinny and came with a first aid box. He was wearing the cutest smile I had seen in days.
"I am sorry for all the pain" he said but I didn't even look at him. I was curled up in the bed sobbing and waiting for the pain to sink in.
"Yeah understandable why u do not wanna talk to me. But I am just her to dress the wound that is it." I was still sobbing and did not move an inch.
"Yeah I know Clechton was a bit harsh with you, but you see he doesn't have a choice. He didn't wanna hurt u either but it had become rather necessary."
" IT IS NEVER NECESSARY TO HURT ANYONE AH-" I said briskly and then broke.
"I see so you do not know his story yet huh!? Well no sweat we are gonna stay together for a while but the thing is that I have never hurt anyone. In fact I am the medic here. Really when I heard your shouts I actually wanted to help you. Let me, I have like the best pain killers and anticeptics here. Just give your hand." I looked at him and he was wearing the same smile. He extended his hand
"Yeah there you go" he gently held my hand and dressed the wound. It didn't hurt much. At that moment I thought that I could really have a conversation with the guy. But out of all the things I do not know why this question came in my mind.
"What is- what is Ray's story?"
I said with my voice cracking in between.
"Ah! I do not think I am at the liberty to say anything but I promise that you will here it one day and then you wont think of him as the same psychotic killer. But till then we can be friends"
"Hm" I nooded my head with a smile.
Finally .
