See You On The Other Side

Ultimate Choice

A/N: Some sensitive materials ahead.

Forth POV

Out of sheer terror, I escaped through the door. Beam was acting erratically. It's as if he's gone insane. But my pants got caught in one of the protruding nails at edge of the painting I was hiding under. I pulled myself loose but my belt loop came undone in the process.

*clingzzz*

My keyring fell to the floor. I was about to grab it and run but Beam called my name grimly.

"Forth... where are you going Forth?" His voice pierced fear into my heart. Upon hearing Beam's tone, the hairs all over my body stood up. I made a run for it and hurriedly came down the stairs.

I sprinted to my car and tried to open the door but it was locked. I was reaching for my keyring but found it not there. Then it hit me! It fell upstairs!

"Forth! Come back here! I thought you wanted to talk?!" Beam's voiced boomed from the direction of the stairs.

Fuck!

I ran to his warehouse next door. I figured I can make him think I was still hiding there, grab my keys, then escape!

A/N: We have a word for this. When two people missed each other when they arrived on a place. It's "Salisi".

He entered his dark warehouse. I hid behind a huge painting further in. From my spot, I observed him searching for me. His booming voice sent chills down my spine. Contrary to how much I adored it when he moans my name.

"Forth?! Where are you?! Come to me Forth, I'm not gonna hurt you. I could never ever fuckin do that." He yelled around while still looking for me.

He turned on the overhead lighting. The gloomy warm bulbs illuminated the whole place. I heard the metallic echoes of the something that he picked up. He proceeded to walk around. I held my breath to keep silent as he approached my hiding spot.

"You know?! All I ever wanna do was to have some good sex with you, that's all. But you.. You made me want you.. You made me NEED YOU!" He kicked a painting, ultimately destroying it.

"Remember the painting you saw after we had sex? I painted you nude that day. You still remember? The woman who was scared to death in the painting?! That woman is my mother!" He laughed maniacally but you can discern his distress.

"She never changed. She was still addicted to men like candies that she didn't even recognized her own son. She forced me to have a relationship with her. Hahahaha!!! I had sex with my own mother!!! Hahahah!!!" He laughed hysterically but suddenly turned serious. The echoes of his laugher disappeared and he continued on his voice was full of hatred. "Then I killed that fucking bitch!!! I sliced her throat after I gave her what she wanted! What I hate the most are people who abandon me! Hahaha!!! But that's not gonna happen to you. I really love you so much Forth and I won't ever hurt you."

He smashed his artworks inside the warehouse. I don't know of he was really trying to find me or kill me.

He pressed forward and continued with the destruction of the items inside the warehouse like madman. He was approaching my hiding spot and my mind cannot think of something to do. Sheer terror paralyzed my mental faculties! He took a few more steps and he toppled the huge painting that was hiding me. He smiled when he saw me.

"No Beam! Please..." I pleaded as he was pointing a knife at me.

"Come to me Forth!" He yelled and was about to yank me when we heard someone shout from the door.

"No!!! Get away from my husband, asshole!!!" It was Sammy.

"What are you doing here?" I asked my wife.
