The serial killer - Calum (part 11)

I sat in Calum's bedroom, absentmindedly looking out of the window and enjoying the sunlight spilling onto my skin. I was ripped from my thoughts by the sound of yells and shouts coming from the living room. I put my ear to the door and listened.

"What the fuck were you thinking?!"

"Probably the same thing that you were thinking when you took Y/N!"

"I had a reason to take her, she knew too much!"

"So does she! Look, I have my reasons for bringing her here!" my eyes widened. I opened the door and walked out. I gasped at the sight.

"Luke, you didn't." I mumbled, looking in horror at the girl that he was holding the arm of.

"I had to." He sighed. I looked at her. She looked just as broken as I probably had when I was taken. Tears streamed down her face and her wrists were held together with rope.

"You're all fucking crazy." I spat as I rushed to her.

"Please help me." She choked, looking at me with watery eyes.

"You're going to be absolutely fine, honey." I smiled gently, untying the knotted rope and letting her wrists go.

"Hey, you're still our hostage, you don't call the shots." Ashton spat.

"Go fuck yourself, Ashton." I snapped before leading the girl towards Calum's bedroom.

The girl sat on Calum's bed, looking down at her hands. I looked at her.

"What's your name, sweetie?" I asked softly.

"Cassie." She mumbled.

"You're going to be okay, honey." I reassured.

"How can you be so sure?" she choked. I sighed.

"Because I was okay." I nodded. She gave me a questioning look, waiting for me to explain.

"Calum took me just over half a year ago. Yeah, it's been tough at times, but I'm okay. And you will be too." I promised. She nodded and gave me a small smile.

"Am I interrupting?" I whipped around to see Calum stood at the doorway. I sighed and stood up, walking to him. Suddenly, he curled an arm around my waist and pulled me into his body.

"Be ready." He mumbled in my ear. I looked at him.

"What?" I asked. He shook his head.

"I can't tell you anything, but keep her close and be ready." He whispered before kissing my neck and leaving the room.

I opened my eyes and looked around. I frowned as Calum's side of the bed was empty. I stood up and headed into the main area of the cabin. I frowned as I saw two bags packed and ready by the door.

"What the-." I screamed as a hand was put over my mouth.

"Sh, babe, it's me." Calum whispered in my ear. I sighed in relief as he let me go and I turned to face him.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"My plan." He spoke. I gave him a questioning look. He sighed and looked down.

"Bringing you here wasn't right. I shouldn't have been so selfish and Luke bringing Cassie here...that was the last straw." He said.

"What are you saying?" I asked.

"The bags are full of enough food and money to get you both back to the city, and you're taking my car." He admitted. My eyes widened.

"Calum, you can't do that, the others will kill you, they'll do so much to you and I don't want anything bad to happen to you-."

"Hey, stop." He spoke, gently taking my face in his hands. I looked up at him.

"I love you. I really shouldn't, but I love you and it's not right to keep the two of you here." He said.

"I love you, so I'm letting you go." He choked. I smiled gently and nodded as tears formed in my eyes. I leant up and pressed our lips together gently. He returned it quickly, holding my face to bring me closer. He broke it and looked at me.

"Cassie is already in the car. Go." He demanded. I nodded before opening the door and taking the bags.

"I can never thank you enough for this." I choked. He nodded.

"Goodbye, Y/N." he choked.

"Goodbye, Calum." I whispered before shutting the door.
