Escape VII- Playmate

I need to change tactics.

It seems that going with the flow and letting him see how shaken I am did not seem to work.

He's a sadist alright.

But he's on another level.

Not that I'm not shaken because damn I am. Who wouldn't? He just throws knives at me like I am f*cking dartboard!

That insane bastard.

I think two days had passed or maybe three. There's no way I'm sure about the time because I can't see any sign of the outside world from here. Butt the whole time we just played two times.

At that time, I couldn't think of a way to escape or a clue where we are. I just know that the first floor of the house has six rooms in total. So far I just know that there is only one way to enter the whole house because there is no kitchen nor dining room after the reception area when you came in from the front door.

It's really creepy because it reminds me of mental hospitals with just one hallway for the rooms.

I also noticed that the house has a second floor. I don't know what would be in there and I'm still thinking of a way to have a way to get there.

I am not tied nor bounded to the floor but the room is locked with both doorknob and a metal chain.

I think I will just have to wait. I noticed that the chain doesn't make any noise when it's being unlocked that's why I always got a heart attack wherever the crazy doctor came in. But how can I get the keys?

And after that? How sure am I that I can escape him with his built and width like that?

I am not even sure where we are right now and if James is still here in the country. What if James already moved on? What will happen to me after I got out of this?

Before I can question more about the cons of getting out of this house, the door came undone, and the crazy doctor steps in.

"Well, Aurelia." He said and then seemed surprised as he saw me just staring at him but not anymore crying nor trembling like how he left me. Oh shit, I didn't put up my act!

"Oh, you're okay now I see. That's good." He nodded and smirked then he laughed at my face when he came closer. "I have a surprise for you." He said and being this close to him I noticed something.

His neck is darker than usual.

Did he go outside?

"Come. Aren't you excited?" He asked and I just stared at him. Should I say yeah right with sarcasm on his face?

No, I shouldn't of course. I just nodded and stand up as he leads me to another room. Next to the room where we used to play. I'm thinking to suggest he clean the rotten bodies or bloodstains on the floor in another room because it smells like shit in here but yeah I shouldn't do that.

I think I'll try to play the role he's been on about.

The perfect sub.

"I wonder why are you so quiet now." He said and he opened the room in front of us. I tried to prevent my eyes from getting wide as I saw another body that this time seems still breathing.

WTF?

"Who..." He just grinned at me and pull my wrist to take a closer look at his newly brought victim.

"He's our new playmate." He said excitedly. I tried not to vomit at his face. I really cannot stand the way his twisted mind works.

I looked at the man hanging with chains on both hands and feet but not like the way I am hanged in another room. The chains in this room are from the ceiling so the man is literally hanging that his foot is an inch above the floor. It seems painful.

"Why is he..." I didn't really know what to ask. Why is he here? Did this crazy doctor get tired of me already? Who is this? Is he already half dead?

But nothing came out of my mouth.

"He will play with us." The doctor said and get the knives on the table in the side to play with his fingers. He then looked at me and smirk again. "But I think he will not last that long." He said almost laughing. "Ah, No, I'm not thinking of letting him that's why." He said and step closer to the man.

The man looks in his mid-twenties, his face pale like mine and he's wearing a hospital gown too.

Ah, now I think about it, I'm still in my hospital gown. Gosh, when I can take this ugly shit off really?

"Wake up." The doctor said and trace the knife in the man's left cheek and the man stirred. When he opened his eyes it widened.

"D-doctor Castro?" He asked and I'm left confused for a moment. But after a while I get it.

It seems that I'm not the only one he fooled with him being a doctor.

And he has a different identity.

Ah, it must be why his neck is in a darker tone and his hair is unusually gelled back. Must be his disguise.

"I'm happy that you remember." The doctor said and grinned widely like the mad man he is. The poor man on the wall seems sober from his deep sleep now and he tugged his chained hands. He seems shocked.

I don't know why but looking at his frightened face feels so nostalgic.

Ah, NO! Not that again, Aurelia. Do not you ever go back there.

I shook my head and tugged the doctor's left arm. He looked at me with a visible 'what?' look.

"I-I do not want a playmate," I said, voice small as it's embarrassing to say that shit. But it seems that it works as he turned his whole body away from the man and towards me. His grin widened.

"What do you just say?" He asked again. Really, this man should clear his ears. He really likes to get on my nerves.

"I don't want a playmate." I nonetheless repeated. What can I do? I have to pull my act together and besides its so much trouble if I will have another baggage when I'm still planning to get out of here.

"Okay." He simply said and I'm shocked at what he does next.

He put the knife on my hand and said, "Then kill him so you will not have a playmate anymore."

I froze. My first instinct is to feel the smooth handle of the knife as I stared at the intricate design on it and how the edges so sharp. It's been so long...

Simon smirked widely when he saw the glint in Aurelia's eyes. The same glint in his eyes. The same dazed and crazy glint.

"No, n-no...d-do not, please...I-I want to live." The man that's hanging on the wall pleaded as they both just watched him. They soon tuned out his pleas and beg as it gets louder and Simon couldn't help but laugh when Aurelia seems to get irritated by the second.

He laughed more when she just stabbed the man.

Again.

And again.

And the pleas stopped as the man also stopped breathing by Aurelia's continuous stabbing.

Simon almost feels the real euphoria as he watched the whole scene unfold.

But he didn't see the next one coming.

So he just holds his chest dumbfounded when Aurelia turned around to stab him.
