Kidnapping Sophie

I don't know how it happened

Song: My Demons By Starset

The next day, he leaves me and I stay in the closet...in the far corner. I don't want to come out. The dark figure keeps telling me ways to hurt myself. I try humming out loud and I close my eyes to get rid of him and nothing...nothing will make him go away.

When I open my eyes I swear I see snakes making their way down to me from the hangers but when I look up again it's only his belts. My mind loves playing tricks on me. Later in the afternoon there is a knock on the front door. Of course I can't open it so I don't go to the door.

I try to void the sounds coming down the hallway. Loud footsteps bang as they get closer and closer to me and I feel that it is real but I'm just not so sure, however a few minutes later I hear the door open and I hear a voice calling my name. It is not Jasper...I have heard the voice before and I don't want him to find me.

So I don't respond. I hear the footsteps come closer to the bedroom and then before me he hovers with a shit eating grin. His freaking gross cracked teeth that probably haven't been brushed in years makes me want to vomit. He glares down at me and that look should be scaring the hell out of me but the dark shadow scares me so much more.

"Well hello there pretty lady...what are you doing in the closet. Come on out of there...come see me now sugar." He tries to sweet talk me like that is going to make a difference. Not this time you dirty old man.

I don't move. The dark figure is lurking behind watching his every move.

He seems bothered and ticked off when I don't move. "I won't ask you again...now come on out of there."When I don't move he takes two steps forward and reaches down to grab me....pulling me out by both arms.

I slide along the wood floor and I think I just got a splinter in my foot. I reach up and grab the door frame but it's no use I am so weak. He jerks one hard jerk and I am out of the closet...matter of fact he jerks so hard that I fall over practically on top of him. He looks at me and smiles.

"My little brother do this to you?" The one hand traces the bruise on my face.I know he is talking about all the bruises. Jasper likes to use me as his little punching bag. But I don't tell him anything.

He runs his hand along my leg and up my thigh. He pushes me down onto the bed and climbs on top of me. I start to fight but he is super strong and holds me down with one hand. I watch the dark figure come closer to me...pointing to the needle by the bed. It takes everything in me to reach over and grab it and when I do I hold it up against his neck.

He smirks, "Your one mistake...if you are going to go through with it do it...don't wait you little bi..."I stab him with the needle in that moment.

 I don't know exactly what is in it, but I push down and watch the liquid disappear into his neck. He tightens his fist and punches the hell out of my face, knocking out a tooth. Blood spatters along the sheets from my mouth and nose. I lick my lips and he laughs about it. I grab the lamp on the table and crack it on the side of his head and he gets off of me.

 Whatever the shit was in the needle is taking over his body rapidly. He falls backwards, holding onto his chest. Just maybe he is having a heart attack. I really don't care at this point I just want him gone...dead even. And that is what I do. I pull out the drawer and take out his hunting knife. I walk over to him and he looks up at me.

"You really going to use that?" he gasps.

"Do it...now...do it Sophie...don't let him get away with hurting you...do it." The dark shadow pushes me on.

I take a breath and when I let it out, I slice his throat and then take the knife and stab him over and over and over. I don't stop until I can't physically hold it any longer. As I am sliding down to the floor next to his lifeless body, only then do I drop the knife.

When the door opens again, it's Jasper. "What the hell!!!" He screams so loud that I'm sure he busted my eardrum.

I sit and stare off into the air. I watch him panic.

He runs over to his brother and grabs him by the shoulders and then he checks for his pulse. "Justin.....Justin...come on man wake up." He glances over at me for a quick second. "What the fuck did you do...what the hell happened?"

When I don't respond it pisses him off more.

He makes his way over to me and leans in looking right into my eyes. "Sophie....look at me...Sophie." He snaps his fingers and then slaps me to get my attention. "Sophie...damitt, what the hell happened?"

"He...he...was attacking me...I...I...don't know what happened?"

"You fucking killed him that is what happened....what the hell?"

"He told me to do it. He told me to protect myself and that is what I did. Where the hell were you? If you had been here this would not have happened?"

He shakes his head and looks at me with a very puzzled confused look. "Who told you...those voices in your pretty head of yours?" He jabs a finger in the side of my head.

I don't say anything. I can't help the voices they are always there. He pulls me up by my shirt and when I am on my feet he hits me so hard that I fall back against the wall knowing one of the pictures off.

"You stupid little girl; what the hell am I going to do?"

I have to force myself back up and when I do I have the knife in my hand again. If he thinks I am going down like this he is so wrong...I will fight my way free.

"You got to be fucking kidding me...what you going to kill me now. So help me." He reaches out toward me and I swipe the knife in front of him slicing his shirt open. "You crazy little..." He reaches for me again this time I jab it in his side.

When he goes down, I don't wait on his response I take off running. I'm shocked that the front door opens right up and I am running outside. All around me is this vast forest. The sun is going down and I don't know what to do. I can hear him inside making his way to the door...I know if he gets to me I will be dead. So I do the only thing that I can...

Run...

I can hear sirens in the distance. I can hear him yelling for me. I hear the dark voice over me telling me to run...run...run. I push between the trees, bushes, tall grass and things that try to hold me back. I feel the trees beneath me, trying to trip me and a few times I do fall and then get right back up.

The voice continues to yell at me. Arms slap me all over my body; creatures try to hold me back as the sun vanishes into the night. It is so dark that I am in pitch darkness and can't see a step in front of me.

 I don't even see the shadow now but I know he is there with me. He is always with me. I come to a tree and fall against it to catch my breath and I gradually slide to the ground. He is here with me...he watches over me and before I realize it I dose off in the coldness of the night.
