THE CLOSET ✔️

TEN

Kayla's POV

I crawled swiftly, ignoring the pain as I pushed the door completely open. I placed my palm on the cold tiles and retrieved it sharply. It hurt so bad.

I had no idea being couped in a hot closet could make you sharply allergic to cold.

I drew a deep breath and crawled out of the closet, the brightness almost blinding me.

I grunted happily when I spotted a bottle of water on the dresser.

I moved quickly over and was going to grab it when I heard the room creak open and I froze.

I shut my eyes in fear of what he'd do to me.

"You bitch!" I heard him growl and I turned to look at him, pleading with my eyes. He advanced menacingly towards me and my heart did a flip flop as I grabbed the bottle of water and held it out towards him.

He stopped and stared at me.

I motioned for him to open it and then demonstrated me drinking from the bottle then he nodded, his eyes suddenly went soft, traveling between me and the bottle as he stooped to my eye level.

"You were thirsty?" he asked and I nodded, meekly.

He screwed it open and gave me a chug.
Coughing soundlessly must be the most painful thing in the world, I coughed more, hoping anyone would come in.

He pushed the bottle to my mouth and I drank more,hoping my throat would heal, stalking for time.

Come in Jay.. Please.. Anyone!

My eyes trained on the door and I recoiled slightly when Lewis stroked my cheek.

Without warning, he jerked me up by an arm and my stomach wounds protested madly. I lashed at him with my hands and backed away from him, slightly crouched over from the pain.

Where I stood, I could see my reflection in the mirror. My heart twisted at the sight. Before I could stare more, a loud bang erupted at the door and I made for it.

But being in pain, I was too slow and too weak. I tried to scream but only air came out. I thrashed mindlessly as his arms pressed painfully against my bloody stomach. He threw me head first into the closet and instead of tying me to the chair, he tied me in a sleeping position with the rope.

He shot me a look of disagreement before taking off his bloodied shirt.

This motherfucker was a fucking psycho

I heard him rummaging in the other closet obviously for another shirt as the banging on the door intensified.

I heard everything go still before Lewis' voice cut in.

"Me? For questioning?..."

My heart soared happily. He was being arrested!

Then a thought crossed my mind, what if he never came back? I'd die in here.

I struggled to move but I couldn't I was tightly bound. I couldn't scream either and there was literally a savior at the door

Wow, best day ever!

Jay 's POV

Candace shuddered weakly in my arms and I looked down at her face.

"You eaten?"

She shook her head and I was about to reprimand her when a loud bang sounded at the parlor. We both rushed out and met the Officer there. He said he'd come to take Lewis in for suspected murder of Kate and I was shook!
