Lucky 27

The Game of Life

Jessica hopped off of the chest and picked the lock, lifting the lid off. Arose a young brunette girl who seemed to be in her mid-20s. She had the most beautiful greenish hazel eyes that Jessica has ever looked into, but her body was so skinny, it seemed as if the poor girl was being starved to death

Jon you fucking asshole. "What's your name sweety?"

"C-C-Celeste Bonin." she stuttered.

"Celeste Bonin?" Why did that name sound so familiar to me? "Are you that girl that mysteriously vanished into thin air 2 years ago? You were all over the news. Police went crazy searching for you and questioned anybody who thought that had something to do with your disappearance. After a while, people assumed you were dead and eventually gave up. And here you are! You're alive!" they began getting teary eyed. They were actually going to make it out of this alive.

"No one would have suspected this guy to kidnap me. I didn't even know him. When he took me I was shopping for a wedding dress with my mom and my BFF AJ. Then, the last thing I remember was being gagged with something. I woke up tied to a pipe with all of my clothes torn off of me. I heard someone calling my name and when I looked up I saw my fiancé Seth pinned to the ceiling. And that's when HE walked in" she explained, scowling at Jon's body before climbing out the window. "He did things to me. Terrible things. Seth had no choice but to watch Jon take advantage of me and forcing me to do things to him."

Jessica couldn't believe what she was hearing. Just yesterday he was so sweet and seemed like he wouldn't hurt a fly. But now she discovered who he truly was. "I know what you're saying is probably true. I just can't believe it. He seemed so." she paused "normal."

"You got to realize that we weren't dealing with a normal man here. We were dealing with a soulless killing machine driven by pure animal instinct! He deserved to die a slow and painful death! So don't be feeling bad about what you did. How did he capture you anyways?"

"Well he didn't capture me. I sort of-"

Celeste cut her off, "I never got your name."

"It's Jessica. Jessica Castiel. And I wasn't kidnapped. I came here on my own free will. Which was the stupidest mistake I've ever made in my whole life."

"For a girl who managed to kill a psycho path, you are pretty stupid. Didn't this place give off weird vibes or anything? The bastard lives in the middle of a field, no neighbors, no small shops near by. And why do you think that is? It's because no one could hear your screams while he's beating, torturing, and ra..." she took a second to get herself back together,"You don't have a single clue many times he forced me to look him in the eyes while he did things to me. His eyes didn't see what you and I see. Thru his eyes he saw pure darkness and showed no mercy. But deep down I saw how much of a sad, scared, man he was"

"What do you mean?"

"When he was done having his way with me he would sometimes tell me stories."

"What kind of stories?" Jessica asked.

"Sometimes about what he did to the past women that he's murdered. Other times he would talk about... his family."

"He had a family?" Jessica blurted out in disbelief.

"A wife named Elizabeth and a 3 year old son named Felix. One of the stories he told me was when it was Felix's 3rd birthday, the only thing he had to do was buy a cake. But his boss Stephanie told him he had to work late that day. So, Elizabeth had to go buy it and take Felix with her cuz there was nobody else to take care of him. Jon said it was pouring that day and Elizabeth was in a hurry and didn't strap Felix tight enough in his car seat." Celeste paused for a moment, preparing to explain what happened next. "They got hit by a truck and Felix flew out of the windshield."

"Oh my god... What about Elizabeth?"

"She suffered from severe brain damage. She was practically a vegetable. The docs told Jon that if she were to survive she would spend the rest of her life miserable and that there was nothing else they could do."

"That's terrible."

"If you think that's fucked up there's more to it. When the doctors told him that, he had no choice but to tell them to pull the plug. He couldn't watch his wife suffer for the rest of her life. And when that line went flat, he felt as if he had killed her with his own hands. All Jon ever wanted to do was protect his family, in his mind he failed them. And ever since that tragic day... he's never been the same man that he used to be." Celeste continued.

"I can't help but feel sorry for him."

"Same." she sighed. "But there was one person he blamed more than himself and that was Stephanie. If it wasn't for her his family would still be here. That's why she was victim number one. Hell, I don't even want to tell you what he did to her. All you need to know was that she must have been begging for him to finally kill her. For the pain to stop. Instead, Jon took his time."

"Poor guy only wanted someone to love and call his."

"Yeah, well he went about it the wrong way." she said bluntly.

"I'm serious. I know this is going to sound weird but how come he kept you alive for this long?"

"I reminded him of Elizabeth. He showed me a picture of her once and she was gorgeous. He said I looked similar to her and that I had her laugh."

"Wait wait wait. Laugh? He's made you laugh after everything he has put you through? I don't know who's crazier. You or him. Cuz obviously you are both lacking a bit of light upstairs."

"Believe it or not he had a soft spot. He would drip the whole "psycho gimmick" and act like a civilized being."

Jessica had to know what Celeste ment by this. "Do tell." Jessica said as they proceeded down the long narrow road taking them far away from that hellish house.
