No Escape

19

Jun Seo felt like she was trying to crush him...it didn't seem like a normal comforting hug...it was painful and suffocating.
One of her hands tangled itself in his hair..
At that moment he understood what she was trying to do...
He freed himself from her grasp and stepped back.
______

He was tired of this game...he was tired of everything..
He was continuously trying to move on but it was way too hard. One can't just move on without going through a dark agonising phase..but for him that particular phase was his whole life.
The look he saw in his mother's eyes when she expressed her affection to him for the first and the last time was killing him.
Everything was too painful that pain was now meaningless for him.

__________

She took a step towards him..

"Why are you running away from me?"

Her tone was maniacal..her eyes were different from how they looked a minute ago. There was a malicious glint in her brown orbs.

Her fingers gently traced his jaw...he caught her wrist and pushed her hand away with a light jerk.

"I think you should get some sleep.."

"I think I should get something else honey...I can't resist anymore.." she said as she went straight to the kitchen and pulled out a chef's knife and went back to the living room..he was still there..looking at her with eyes full of confusion..

His confusion turned into instinctive fear when he saw that knife in her hands. He wasn't afraid of getting hurt again...but her weird attitude was stirring up dread inside him..

She was now just standing there examining the knife..

He didn't see that coming..he thought that she regretted what she had done..but he was wrong. She was still the same..

She then looked up at him with half lidded eyes as she inched closer.

"You're not afraid?" She grinned manically.

"What do you think?" He eyed the knife which was moving towards him in an unnoticeable manner..

She didn't fully register what happened in the next few minutes..only thing she could remember was blood..too much blood..
And blackness surrounded her.
