Silent Bride|| Outlast

Chapter 6

Gluskin had left, I look around the place in a hurry. I didn't know when he'd return. I sneak around. The radio starts it's loop again. The song Gluskin was humming. "When I was a boy..."
There is the body Gluskin dragged in front of me. It's head missing. Behind a lit curtain lies a brutal scene of bodies and human remains placed and tied up to imitate the moment of childbirth
It looks like a women giving birth. The sight is very disturbing but wasn't the worst of what was yet to come.
I turn around and bump into Gluskin.
Oh god!
My eyes stare at him and he looks down, holding his shoulder, blood seeping trough his clothing.

God damnit...
"Darling I... I made a mistake... I want to protect and..." i interrupt him with putting my finger on my lips. Then pointing at the sight that I just saw.
What's that?!

"Did I frighten you with it? I'm awfully sorry, I didn't mean to.." he looks like he means it. His guilt was coming up.
I nod, close the curtains and breath in deeply.
Let's just... that wound...
I point at the blood and point at a table, meaning he should sit down.
"Darling... I'd love it to hear your beautiful voice..." he whispers while obeying me for once.
"Our children would want a mother to listen to"
Our children Gluskin... really? That where you cross the damn line...
I roll my eyes and make him sit, and as soon as he does I undo the buttons and remove clothing off his shoulder. There's a big bite or gash taken out of his skin on his shoulder. It had to be treated or else it would get Infected-
why would I even care... you got... uh... rubbing alcohol?
I interrupt my thought while taking care. How can I get him to understand me.

I look around and see dust on a table. I think and get an idea. I made a sign that said "wait" with my finger. Then I start to write in the dust. "alcohol?"
I make him look at it.
He just blankly stares at it. I sigh annoyed and wipe it away, he grabs my hand and looks at me. Going on his damn knees for god sake. "That part of you the world sees, they think it's perfect. As God intended. Even these idiots and lunatics see it. There's something special about you... Though it seems like a dream now, being here with you"
Oh my god he's not joking... he really wasn't...
I could feel my head spin a bit. I knew exactly why.
My medication... shit...

It has been over 36 hours since I took medicine for my schizophrenia.
My hands shake and I tear up.
You're nothing... just get him to kill you already... or should we kill him... like we always did... huh?

The voices in my head scream at me, torment me.
You really think you'll escape?... you'll die....painfully slow...
No we will kill him. Just grab the knife and push it slowly trough his neck... see the artery POP.

I stumble away from him and hold my head. It was so much shit.
"Aaaah...." comes out of my mouth. That's a first.
"Darling... I didn't mean to scare you..." he comes after me.
Just run Evelyn... maybe jump trough that elevator shaft!
My thoughts weren't mine anymore, I don't have any control.
Evelyn... jump... you'll die either way...
My head wanted to commit suicide.Physical me did not.
"Darling... please talk to me... I won't give up on you. I know you're worth it"

He held my hand while I was having my mental episodes, those episodes could last 3 to sometimes 30 minutes. I couldn't focus on anything.
14 minutes pass with me in pain. Then it gets quiet in my head. I slide down the wall from where I'm standing and start crying out loud. I wanted to get away now.

"Darling I... how can I make you feel better?... I don't want my darling to get hurt..."
Eddie Please... I cant be your wife...
I shake my head and wipe my tears.
I DONT WANNA MARRY YOU! My eyes scream, but all that comes out of my mouth is whimpers from crying. He slowly gets closer and on both of his knees, he looks at me with concerned eyes and reaches his hands out to me. "Darling..."
the Gluskin that I used to know was back for a little while, his sympathy got back and he placed my head in his hands. His thumbs wiping away my tears. I felt the roughness of his skin. I could see him being broken from the inside.
Something bad had scarred him.

"I'm sorry darling... This will sting for a while..."
He suddenly uses some kind of sleeping gas into my face, I try to avoid it but I'm too late and pass out.
