Escape VIII- Don't Say It

I twist the knife while it's in his stomach and he grunted, blood oozing from both his mouth and stomach. Before he can reach out his hands towards me I stabbed him in his legs and again for his ankles. I made three stabs in total and just give his eyes a jab so he will be distracted. I don't want to be a murderer.

But I think I just did.

I ran out of the room carrying the knife I've used. I have to be careful, I defended myself from the crazy doctor so I stabbed him but I don't have an explanation why I kill that man on the wall.

I must be crazy to do that.

As I already know that there's only one way out I run straight. But when I'm already at the front door the door is locked. God damnit! I forget to get the keys!

I looked around to find any windows or doors but I couldn't find anything. There is just the walls and the table set. I can't give up now that I've come this far! Think!

I heard the clangs of metals and crashing of things in the room where I came from but as I turned around I noticed the stairs. Great!

I run again up to the second floor and the hallway with five rooms welcomed me. I tried to open all the doors but the first one is locked. The second and the third is just like the rooms below. But when I opened the fourth room I'm ecstatic to found a window. I think this is that crazy doctor's room.

I entered the room and locked the door. I know it's useless but it can help to buy time. I looked down and see the backyard of the house full of Bermuda grass. When I jump out of this I will maybe break a bone or two but I think I will survive.

While I'm opening the window. An static sounds came and I looked back. What the hell?

The doctor on the speaker cleared his throat and I shuddered. It's clear he's enjoying this.

"Hello." I didn't have the time to listen to him nor at my wildly beating heart, I jumped out of the window. I make an unladylike sound as I fall over the ground. I think I heard my bones cracked.

Oh my God. I'll die just from this fall really.

I can still hear the static sounds from the house but I didn't care about that. I limped as I try to crawl in a canal in the corner of the high walls. I didn't dare to go to the front gate because there's possibility that he's waiting on me there.

The canal is not really that clean and it's full of slimy and gross moss but I endured it and just crawled. I'm thankful for my small frame and sexy body when I fit in the hole. But before I could celebrate,

"Took you long enough." The deep and husky voice said. I looked up and saw the most bloody sinister smile I've ever seen.

And I tremble, frightened out of my wits.

The next moment I just found myself being dragged by the crazy doctor to the house as he laughed. He really is enjoying this. I tried to wriggle from his graps but he grabbed my hair and dragged me like that. I had no choice but to stay still because damn my scalp feels burning. It hurts.

I noticed that he's bleeding from the three stabs I gave him earlier and his eyes too is red but nonetheless he seems happy.

God, he's really crazy.

"You know my dear Aurelia, we're just had played for three days now but you're too excited to end the fun. I'm quite disappointed." He said. I stayed quiet as he keeps on dragging me to the room where we fought or rather where I become a criminal.

I froze as he keeps dragging me and then shove my face to the face of the man that I just killed. I think I had just stopped breathing.

"Look what you have done to your playmate baby girl." The doctor said happily. Then he shove me more to face the man that is now like a worn out paper because of his pale, violet and dirtied skin. There's blood all over us, even in my face I know I had blood in there.

"How do you feel about it?" He asked, probing. But instead of answering I just laughed.

I laughed and laughed and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" He now asked and the irritation can be heard clearly in his tone. That just makes me laugh harder. I looked into his eyes directly and said.

"Just kill me." I stated. Not pleaded nor begged. I just stated. To be honest I didn't know what to do anymore. From the very beginning I know that there's more possibility that even if I got out of the house, I couldn't run away from him for too long.

It's pretty stupid of me. I just break my arm and ankle and for goodness sake crawled in that dirty canal just for nothing.

But at least I had experience it. Those things were like just for the movies.

"Are you... already giving up?" He asked and I'm shocked by the quiet hesitation in his voice. What change?

"We both know I can't escape you, now can I?" I shrugged and just stared at him. I think there's still a slightly little tiny bit of humanity left in him.

I don't know, maybe 0.0495%?

I still can't ignore the fact that he has a twisted logic and just plain insane, no.

"You're right." He said then back to his usual smile but after a while he made a face of those one of a disgust. He looked at me straight and then looked down. At first I thought he's looking at my boobs so I crossed my arms in front of them.

"Eyes up here." I said strictly but he laughed. I'm dazed for a moment because it's not like his usual 'crazy' laugh but just like a normal one.

"You naughty. I will not dare to hit on you when you smell like that." He said and I felt my ears burning up. He's crashing my ego, imagine being told like that with a crazy man?

And a crazy man with a pretty face at that one.

"Who's fault is that." I said, more of a whisper because of embarrassment. He looked at me in amusement and it's like his eyes are smiling too as he said,

"You take a bath." I just stayed still as he dragged me on again but to the second floor this time. We head up to the fourth room where I assume his room and where I jumped out of the window earlier.

As I remember my cuts, bruises and broken bones and joints I feel them all and grunt. The doctor looked back at me from his dresser where he's picking up clothes.

"Ah, your wounds. Did they hurt?" He asked as he noticed that my knees are bleeding from the fall. I stopped myself from rolling my eyes at his question. Not because it's obvious I'm hurt but because it's nothing compared to his three stabs on different body parts.

I'm surprised he's still breathing. Wow.

"Yeah, but nothing I couldn't handle." I said and just grabbed the clothes that he's still contemplating about. "I'll go wash up." I said, tilting my head to the bathroom's door as he stay unmoving.

Before I step in the bathroom I looked back at him and he blinked.

And I'm crazy to think that he looks adorable when he do that.

"You should clean your wounds too, you know." I fiddled with the doorknob as I feel my cheeks burned again.

No, don't say it Aurelia. He's crazy and he's your kidnapper.

Oh God, No! Don't say it!

Do.Not.Say.It!

"And...uh, I-I'm sorry." and there I said it. I think I heard my inner self sighing in disappointment because the apology is rather too sincere for her liking. I didn't look at his reaction because I'm too embarrassed and just slammed the bathroom door.

What...was that, really?
