“Help!”
Someone's shouted. It's reaching my hearing. I cover my ears but I still can hear it.
My heart is like a beating drum.
I feel like I'm having a lump in my throat.
“Mom! Who's that?” I asked, but she didn't even throw a glance at me.
“Can somebody help me? My mother needs an emergency, please,” its voice became shaky, and based on my hearing, it's a boy.
“Whatever, just do whatever you want!” My mother shouted, and she disappeared.
It seems like she's going somewhere, and she will do what she wants.
I ran towards the basement, because of that voice.
He's having a victim again, and this time it's a boy.
I sneak out from the door, and carefully check the rooms one by one.
“Bingo!”
From my perspective, a boy is sitting on a torturing chair, with a chain on his legs, and his eyes were blindfolded.
“Help, my mother needs me, please,” he pleaded.
I think, he's crying, and shouting all the time until his voice is slowly disappearing.
My elbow accidentally touched the chainsaw.
“Hello? Is there any human? Please, I can't help myself anymore,” he said.
I scanned his whole body. His fingernails were gone, and his body had some bruises and wounds.
My tears were slowly dripping down my cheeks.
“Please, don't hurt me...”
I'm hoping that my decisions will help him, and his mother.
I immediately untied his chains and removed the blindfold.
His exhausted eyes widened.
“Zoe? Why are you here? This place is dangerous!”
I didn't reply, instead, I signaled him to become silent, and just follow me to avoid some noises.
“Let's go,” I said while holding his arm to support his body.
He's tired, and he can't walk properly, or run just to save himself.
“Zoe!”
I feel like my soul already left my body.
“Sheez, you need to hide, and please be careful,” I whispered, and he nodded.
“Zoe! Where are you?” that guy is causing me to tremble.
I hate this!
“Zoe!”
I decided to hide at the big box beside the exit door from this basement.
Furthermore, I saw Ian, he's hiding under the black blanket.
“Where the hell are you? Zoe! You're getting to my nerve! Come out!”
I saw his shadow, it seems like he's holding a screwdriver with a bloodstain on his hand.
He cursed and disappeared all of a sudden.
That's a good thing, and I think I should buy some time for Ian, and he will be able to leave from this hell.
“Ian? Let's go,” I said in an airy voice.
He's having a hard time because his feet were hard to control, maybe it's because of the pain from the different tools.
I hold his hand and immediately ran.
To be exact, we're doing a brisk walk, so we can escape this creepy basement.
“I think, you can go now, that's the exit door, and you need to go to that door, and go to the right pathway, so you can reach the highway, please take care,” I explained.
I hug him, I'm not feeling well.
“Take care!” I shouted.
He starts to walk away, and he's not giving any glances.
In my opinion, that's not bad, because I understand that he needs to be in hurry.
A cold sharp object was pointing at my neck.
“Where do you think you're going? I've been yelling and calling your name, but you're not responding!”
I want to scream, but unable to make a sound.
“Let's go, you should help me to clean that boy, hurry up!”
I gasped for air, I shouldn't let him know that Ian was already gone, and I'm the reason why he's free from this hell.
“Zoe! Where's the boy?”
My eyes widen.
“I don't know, sorry for that—”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Nah, why would I? Or should I ask you for that? Are you kidding me?” I rolled my eyes, but it's a bad move.
He starts to scream, and the things are broken by his pride and ego.
“I want meat! I want to taste his blood! Bring him to me!”
“I'm not the maid in our house,” I said with a serious tone.
“Or I should drink your blood, instead of others?”
“Nah, no, thanks,” I walked away.
A terrible something happened to me, “Zoe, I want you to be a lawyer,” a woman voice was covering my bearings.
“But, Mom, I don't want to be a lawyer, their education is long and stressful.”
“Yes, it sounds like pressure, and stressful for the others, still it can help us,” she said.
“I want to sleep,” I start to yawn.
“Sleep as you've never been wanted to have this kind of period of sleep.”
That's something earlier I said, was just an accident.
“Zoe! I'm here!” Sammy exclaimed.
I hug her and whispered something, but I didn't understand, sorry for that.
“Is that your boyfriend?” the girl that was asking me if that was my boyfriend, but I think, it's not obvious to them.
“Promise, trust me, and I will do everything just to keep you alive, and happy,” Sammy said. I arched my eyebrow because I'm so confused right now.
“Sammy, my father was a criminal, and I can't take his insanity, he was even drinking the blood from these bodies,” I said.
My tears start to stream down on my face.
“He loves to eat some fresh foods, especially the meat from the human body, and plants,” I added.
“He's removing some fingernails, and it seems like you're going to let him be the punching bag for the right time.” I'm pointing out their family and the proposal from the company.
Her family is our friend, partner in our business.
“Yeah right,” I decided to remain silent. I found the old book of something that I can't tell anyone.
“Don't cry, someone was watching you, even though you're asleep or not, but something will appear.”
