The Bride

Chapter | 4 | Captured

I gulped at his intimidating stare, It would be an underestimatement if I'd say I wasn't terrified by this man. I began to nervously play with the Ring on my finger. His once so caring, soft eyes turned into a death-like glare as he spotted the ring.

"What the fuck is that, Darling?" He growls as he stepped closer and snatched my hand, examining the ring.

"A R-Ring f-from my f-f-friend." I stuttered out. He took my ring off of my finger and threw it away.

"There. You won't be needing it from now on. Cause you're mine." Eddie said rather sweetly and stepped closer. His arms wide open.

"I'm not yours!" I yelled, not agreeing to his obsession behavior. Eddie's smile faded away, his eyes focused on mine.

"You won't have a choice, D-A-R-L-I-N-G." He growls and mocked the nickname he gave all the other people who crossed is path.
"You don't really think that I'm letting you go now, do you? Oh, how long I've waited to finally find the little girl I had in mind...and now you're here...and you will never leave."

His hands shot towards me, yet before he could grab a hold on my wrist I dodged it and began to sprint back to corpses by the radio.

"Darling! Wait up or are you just another whore?!"

I didn't even think about turning around. The door was luckily opened by Waylon after he left, maybe I'll encounter him on my way? I ran down the hall into another door, which led into a smaller room. There was nothing in there, so I took a diffrent door and came into a much brighter hall. A wedding gown was on one of the mannequins and lots of scatches of "the perfect" fit on the bride, as soon as he found himself one, seems like I happen to be that woman he dreamed of.

"I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad...~"

I proceeded to run into the other opened door. Waylon really left them all open, yet it was only an advantage for me since I follow them till I find him.

"She was a pearl. And the only girl that daddy ever had. A good ol' fashioned girl with a heart so true...~"

My little escape leads me to an elevator and it was still working luckily. I got in and pressed the button below the one I was currently in.

"One who loves nobody else but you...~ Oh Darling, this won't get you anywhere...~" He chuckles darkly and pressed the elevator button after I got out. I curse, while my legs carry me into the next room. 'There is No place like Home' was written on the wall with black paint and I only scoffed at that. Thats when I noticed, that I ran into a dead end, which also means that Waylon didn't make it...did he?

"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. On the surface."

"But when they look deeper, when anybody with eyes to see looks at what you truly are. That's why they don't trust you. You're not what you're meant to be. Not yet."

"Leave me alone!" I yelled as I frankly searched for a hiding spot.

"This place can see into your mind. And the things you've done. Oh, they're a sin, darling. But a flower is only as sweet as the soil that nourishes it. And yours needs nourishing, and pruning, and care..."

The only option for me was an rusty old locker, no other option was given and he nearly reached this room, I had to get in there. As soon as I closed the stall, I covered my mouth with my hands. My rapid breathing would be to loud and this would eventually cause him to find me, but this wouldn't have mattered anyway, because he instantly found me.

"....Hmmm. Close. I can... the smell of my love's arbor. Darling, you can't hide from me..." Eddie appears in front of the locker and put chains around it, which made me wonder. How did he get the damn chains?! The whole metal crashed onto the ground, my head slightly crashed onto it at the impact and it caused me to hiss out in pain.
"You make yourself a gift for me. A delicacy to be unwrapped and-- unwrapped again. And savored."

"Here we go and--" He began to say and cut himself off midsentence as he pulled the whole damn locker over the stone floor. I began to panic, this lunatic actually got me locked up.

"I 've been a little... vulgar. I know. And I want to say, I'm sorry. I just... you know how a man gets when he wants to know a woman. But after the ceremony, when I've made you my wife... I promise I'll be a different man." He grunted out and suddenly stopped. He got closer to the open and glanced at me.

"I want a family, a legacy. To be the father I never had. I'll never let anything happen to our children. Not like..." his eyes focused on something else as he got lost in his mind. I knew who he was referring to instantly. He wanted to be better than his own parents, the one who caused him harm and fucked up shit. The reason for his condition, the reason why he hated women.

The locker suddenly stops and with a swift pull, he picked it up and placed it back the original way. My eyes took notice of the arms and corpses hanging from the sealing. It smelled like blood in here and gore began to rotten at the side. The flys feeding on the human remains and I could feel the food slowly coming out of my body. I was on the edge of throwing up, the smell was even more horrible than I could have ever imagined. Whatever he does here, it involves a lot of blood, human body parts and most importantly; death. The anatomy of a male genital was listed on one of his boards, he scribbled something on it, which I couldn't read that well, since I was to far away. Yet I completely understood what he was trying to do her or at least I know what he used to do here. He made men into women, but they all died because of blood loss. A terrible way to leave this hell life in my opinion. Eddie walked into the room humming again, he had a bottle of chloroform in his hand, which he must have stolen from one of our intensive stations. A smile tugged on the corner of his lips as he approached me, with the said bottle.

"You'll have to wait here. I know you must be just as eager as I am to consummate our love. But try to enjoy the anticipation...this will help you relax, till we are ready to start our future." He sprayed the gas in high doses which instantly knocked me out, whitout having a saying in this. The darkness consumed me and my body went limb. The sleep took over and pained screams filled the air before I completely fell into the dark hole.
