The Bloody Smile

"Tch.... Tch... Tch..... Tch...."

"Liar Liar Pants On Fire..."

Suddenly, a voice escaped through the dark shadows. The voice seemed taunting and mocking.

As soon as the Henchman heard the voice, he felt a surge of uneasiness in his body. His body began to tremble in fear. It was like he was not in control of his body at all.

The Henchman was trying to look away, but he could not look away from the darkness. The Henchman's body was frozen by the terror no matter how much he tried to move or run his body refused.

The voice came again, but this time, it was even more taunting.

"How Could You Lie?"

"How Could You...."

"You Said I Was Getting Torture By You For The Last Month....."

"Tch... Tch...."

"Such A False Statement....."

"You Shouldn't Have Lied To Your Boss. Liars Are Bad, You Should Be Punished For That..."

As soon as the voice entered the Henchman's ears, he immediately fell onto his knees and bowed down before the darkness.

"....Pl.... Please... F... Forgive Me....."

"I.... Didn't mea... Mean To Do Any Of That...."

The Henchman then pointed toward his Boss and continued, "It Was Him!!"

"He Made Us Do It!!"

"IT WAS HIM, PLEASE DON'T PUNISH US FOR HIS SINS. I BEG OF YOU!!!"

Just as the Boss heard Henchman's voice, he clenched his fist in anger and spoke. "COWARD H....."

But before the Boss could finish talking, the voice came again, but this time it wasn't taunting it was calming.

"So.... You are the Boss around here.."

"Let's cut to the chase already. Someone definitely has offered you this job, and you took it without even thinking about it cause you were busy thinking about the money it would get you, and I totally understand that. There is no shame in accepting that you were greedy."

Suddenly, the voice changed from its calming nature to a haunting one.

"You Had Your Fun. You Tried Your Luck, But It's Time For You To Tell Me That Person's Name Who Told You To Do This."

The voice changed to its calming nature and continued, "And I Understand If You Want To Keep His Name Hidden In Your Chest With Your Integrity. I Respect Loyalty The Most."

The voice changed again to its haunting and terrorizing nature.

"BUT THERE IS NO STOPPING ME RIPPING YOU APART AND PULLING THAT NAME OUT OF YOUR CHEST!!"

The voice changed again to its calming nature.

"So what's it is going to be, die with integrity or die without one because either way. You are not walking out from here on your feet."

After hearing the voice, the Boss released his clenched fist and looked at his terrorized Henchman. The Boss's forehead was covered in sweat, not because of the weather but because of the fear the voice had planted inside him.

As the Boss looked into his Henchman's eyes, he realized that he had messed with someone completely out of his league.

"Gulp...."

After a few moments, the Boss gulped in fear as he managed to get the courage to look back into the darkness.

"W...."

The Boss tried to speak, but the moment he opened his mouth. His whole body began to tremble in fear. His hands began to shake as if his body already knew what was about to happen next.

"Hhhhaaahhh…!"

The Boss took a deep breath, trying to control himself before breaking down.

"I.... I am.... Dead.... Either.... Way, But Before I..... Die... I Want To Know The.... Person.... Who Will Kill Me...."

The Boss spoke while looking down on the ground. He had the courage to speak, but he definitely didn't have the courage to look into the darkness.

As the Boss finished, the voice came again.

"Who Am I....."

The voice was haunting and chilling; with every word spoken, the uneasiness in the warehouse grew.

"Why Don't You See It Yourself Who Am I...."

As soon as the voice finished, two small crimson lights became visible in the darkness. The lights were floating in the middle of the air.

"BAAAAMMMM!!!"

All of a sudden, the entire warehouse lit up. Each and every single light of the warehouse was turned on, making the Henchman and the Boss clench their eyes and cover them up due to the brightness.

A few seconds later, the Boss removed his hand from his eyes and saw what was waiting before him.

Just as the Boss saw what lies ahead of him, his jaw dropped due to sheer fear. He immediately fell to his knees. His feet could not handle the weight that his eyes had just seen.

The Boss saw a man with brown hair and crimson color eyes tied in chains. There were two chains from the ceiling attached to each of his hands which was making the man float in the air. There were two attached to each of his legs from the floor.

The chains from the roof were trying to get him further into the air while the chains from the floor were trying to pull him down. His entire body was covered in wounds, so many that his skin barely showed through the blood.

The man had several burn marks on his back, chest, and his hands. There were also marks of punches all over his body, but there was a dagger that was stabbed right into the man's chest, making him constantly bleeding.

But there was one more thing that was the most terrifying out of all, and it was the man's smile. Even after so many wounds, the man was still smiling. 

Blood dripping from his chin and his body was making his smile even more terrifying.

"Fweeeet!"

Suddenly, the man whistled to get the Boss's attention and asked.

"So You Want To Know Who Am I...."

"Khh… khh… khh…Khh… khh… khh…"

The man laughed as he finished talking.
