A PUZZLE

BRIA

I realised that I had made a mistake by coming here to talk with the devil. He tightened his grip on both of my hands that he held beside me on the wall. He neared his face to my left ear. His hot breath fanned my face making me reddened. He inhaled deeply, and a shiver ran down my spine. The feeling was foreign, but my body responded to it in a surprising way.

"You are like a puzzle, scattered in pieces but I promise you that one day, I will fit all the pieces together. And that day, I will ruin it for no one to solve it again."

I shuddered in fear at his words.

My eyes stung with tears.

"I-I know that you will kill me when the time comes." I breathed out.

"You are right. But you don't know that I can do more cruel things to you than just killing you." He hissed.

My heart was about to explode at the thought.

"Please don't hurt my family." I pleaded.
