Captured (Split Fanfitcion)

Chapter 7

It was way harder to deal with your cramps than usually. At the other times, you just took one pill then distracted yourself with the TV or some books. Now.. obviously you couldn't do that. So you were just lying on the bed, curling up into a ball as you were blankly staring in front of you. You hated that every time you were on your period it felt like you were dying. But well, not like you could have done anything against it. At least the supplies Dennis had bought you surely lasted out until the end. It was not much, but something.

To be honest you hadn't been willing to use the shower until now because god knows when your captor decided to come into your room. Now though you didn't really have a chance. There was hope that now Dennis doesn't want to disturb you. So you quickly packed everything you needed and went into the bathroom. After closing the door, you wanted to check if there was hot water here because you never really tried it out before. It was a pleasant surprise when after a minute of waiting, warm water started coming out from the shower head.

You took off your clothes - well.. at least those that remained thanks to Dennis - and stepped into the shower. It was so good to feel the warm liquid flowing down on your body. For a minute, you stopped thinking and just let you relax. You just let forget all those horrible memories that you'd gained here. For the first time, you felt clean and maybe even that you were safe. This, in fact, was quite hilarious, to be honest.

You didn't know how long you've been there, but suddenly someone started knocking loudly on the door. You panickedly got out of the shower and rushed towards your lingerie. "Wait a minute!" You exclaimed, hoping that he won't come in. Fortunately, your keeper had placed an orange tower into the bathroom on your first day, and now it was the time to finally use it. You quickly unwinded the tower around you and went to the door. You didn't open it though, giving him a chance to mess with you was not between your plans.

"What are you doing there?" A muffled sound came through the door. You relievedly recognized that it was Hedwig's voice.

"I was just taking a shower, and now I'm changing, so please wait outside!" You hoped that he won't come in, so you rushed back to your clothes and started put on your bra.

Hedwig though, he had been having trust issues since you had lied to him. Of course, he had to follow the rules as well and not let you escape. And since you had been in the shower for way too long, he started to worry. "Y-You're not lying to me, are you?" He said shyly as he slowly opened the door. You were just about to put on your dirty-white pull, being in your lingerie. But at the moment he saw you, he squealed and loudly shut the door. You were watching in the other direction so instead of covering yourself, you almost dropped your clothes because of the sudden noise. You actually didn't even have time to realize what even have happened.

After successfully putting on everything, you finally left the bathroom. Stepping out, you saw Hedwig sitting on the floor. He was embracing his knees to curl up into a ball, while he was leaning his head on them. You could only guess, that he felt guilty for opening the door. It was quite heartbreaking to see him like this, so you decided to cheer him up, because.. after all, he was nothing more but a nine-year-old boy.

Something caught your eyes though.. there was a brand new looking bed-sheet and a sandwich on a plastic plate on your bed. Both of them was perfectly placed on its center. And obviously, they were not there when you went to take a shower. Maybe it was Hedwig who brought them here, but first thing first, you wanted to deal with him.

"Hey, you alright?" You asked gently as you crouched next to the guy.

"I-I'm sorry... I-I didn't believe you.." his voice was so timid and weak, your heart couldn't take it.

"It's okay." You shrugged with a smile. "I mean, I can understand. I lied to you when we met the first time, it's natural that I'm not trustful."

He looked at you with his big sorrowful eyes. "You're not mad at me?"

You shook your head still with a gentle smile on your face. "No, it's okay. I know you didn't mean it to peek."

His expression became happier when he sheepishly scratched his neck. "By the way, I love your underwear. Mr. Dennis was talking about buying you new ones. You didn't like your old one?" He asked innocently. Great, you were now talking about an awesome topic again...

"He was talking about this?" You enquired in a weak voice.

"Yeah, he was pretty angry, he couldn't even talk about anything else but you." He responded with a small nod. "Did you make him angry?"

You swallowed uneasily "N-No, at least I hope not."

Hedwig looked at you not saying anything, but then he started staring his legs. "It's okay if you're scared of him. You know I'm also scared of Mr. Dennis. He can be caring sometimes, but then the other times he's just frightening. So I don't dare to say no to him. Last time -" he quickly turned to you sheepishly "Uhm this is why I had to go during our kiss. Mr. Dennis asked me to let him use the Light. I told him no, because.. because I wanted to finish uhm.. our kiss but then he scared me and ordered me to let him lead." After a deep sigh, he continued "I'm sorry, it was probably weird to see him after me."

"No, it was okay. Nothing really happened." You answered with a fake smile that you had been practicing over the years. You were just so good at it. After it though, you started thinking for a minute. So this is why he just appeared so suddenly. Maybe he just wanted to tell you something or he had a work to do, but well.. it was obvious how this all turned out. So even if Hedwig had the power to let's just say "lead" this body, if someone scared him, then actually they could use that Light anytime. This was clearly not that thing that you hoped to hear. "By the way Hedwig.." the guy has looked at you as you started "did you bright these stuff to me?"

He quickly looked at the bed where you were pointing at, then he shook his head. "Nope, I don't know who did that. It looked like it is now when I came in."

"I see." You bit your lower lip as you sat down next to him. Your stomach though, it started aching as soon as you settled down to the floor. You quickly embraced it with trying to muffle a painful moan. You could definitely use some spasmolytic.

Hedwig, after seeing your face, looked at you with concerned eyes. "Are you ok? Does something hurt?"

"It's just my stomach that's all." You waved as you gave him a reassuring smile.

"Are you sick?" He looked like he was seriously concerned about your health which gave you a funny feeling. "I heard Mr. Dennis talking about something like this, but I didn't really understand it."

Huh, Dennis again.. surely he just had to tell everyone that you're in this situation. Great.

"I'll be ok, don't worry." You were still smiling just to make him less worried. He looked at his knees for a minute like he was thinking about something, but then he turned his head towards you again.

"You know I love listening to music and dance. I always dance in my room under my window when I turn on the radio. Kanye West is the best!" He said with a wide smile. His purpose was probably to change the topic to a better one.

Wait a minute. Did he say a window? Maybe.. you could escape through that window. Maybe... you still had a chance. This realization hit you like a train but gave you hope. You decided to make up a little scenario when he'll want to show that room on his own. You had to be careful though. You couldn't allow yourself to fail this time.

"Maybe.. you could show me your dancing skill." You said with a mysterious smile.

"B-But my radio is in my room." He pointed confusedly towards the steel door.

You pretended to realize this problem. "Oh, yeah..." for making the whole scene more realistic, you bit your lower lip nervously. But then like you would have got a better idea, you grinned at him. "Maybe you could show me your room. And then I could see you dancing."

Hedwig stopped for a minute and started thinking. You clearly made a hard time for him with this idea. Finally, there was hope for your miserable situation. But then, all of his statements sounded like a bolt from the blue. "Wait do you want to trick me? Why do you want to see my room? Do you want to escape?!" He looked at you angrily.

No no no this is bad, you had to make up something. Just think!

You put on a calm face in order to hide your nerves then you looked straight into his eyes. "Okay Hedwig let's play a game" he nodded "you have to guess whether I'm lying or not." He nodded again "And if you lose, you will show me your room. Are you ready?" And he nodded again. You sighed deeply, then continued the eye contact with him. "I always look for the trouble. So the teachers can send me to the schoolroom. Where I can be alone. Far from everyone else."

You were smiling and it's because of the confidence you had. As you could see, he was having a hard time guessing the right answer. Obviously, he didn't want to mess it up, because he wasn't supposed to let you out of this room. But still, he couldn't say no to this challenge.

But after a minute of thinking, he finally gave up "Ok, I'll show you my room.". This short answer made your heart start racing in excitement. Yes, finally your time has come! You can escape from this hell! "Well actually" he continued as he stood up "I'll wait for it. Mr. Dennis has told me to let you alone for this week and I don't want him to be really angry at me. But don't worry I'll come to talk with you often!" He said grinning as he went to the door. "Now I have to go, Mr. Dennis wants to use the Light!" Then he shut the door on you.

You were not really disappointed, at least you could see some progress. Although.. it should be wiser to hurry a bit more. With every day you got closer and closer to that ceremony. And obviously, you HAD to get out of here before that day.

But now at least, you could see the light. You could start to truly hope for once again.

Finally, you had a chance.
