Captured (Split Fanfitcion)

Chapter 3

"..."

"Hey!"

You quickly lifted up your head after hearing the sudden loud calling. It was Hedwig who was crouching near you looking at you with concerned eyes.

"Oh.. Hedwig.. would you want anything?"

"You didn't answer me when I called you." He said quietly. "I-I didn't want to interrupt you or something though.."

"No, it's fine. Not that I could keep you out or something anyway, am I right?" You gave him a bitter smile.

The guy didn't answer but he was staring at your eyes which made you a bit nervous. "Why did you cry? I see you were crying." He said after a minute of staring.

You swallowed uneasily. "I didn't cry, I don't know what are you talking about." For making this more believable you sheepishly shake your head.

"But your eyes are red. Don't lie to me, I'm not stupid!" He snapped with a grimace and you couldn't help but smile. If you ignored his appearance, you couldn't see anyone else but a nine-year-old boy.

"You got me Hedwig, you're really a clever boy." You said wiping off the remained tears from your eyes.

"So why did you cry?" He asked after hopping next to you onto the floor. He leaned his back onto the bed and embraced his knees just like you did.

"It's really nothing, I just.." you sighed as you were thinking about how could you tell a nine-year-old that if you keep staying in this place you will most likely be murdered soon. Although.. you didn't even have to tell him because he already knew. "I'm homesick you know."

"Ooooh" he opened his mouth during the realization "Well don't worry! I'll come frequently and you can play with me! And if you're not lonely anymore, you won't be homesick either!" He grinned in honest joy. You felt bad again for lying to him, but.. honestly, what could you do? Ask him to let you out? It wasn't the right time. "I wanted to have a friend for a long time, but Mr. Dennis and Barry didn't let me. They wanted to be alone for a while and they just ignored me." He crossed his arms huffily. "B-but!" You felt him grabbing your arm as he exclaimed. "We can be friends! And we can have fun together, at least until we can!" It gave you a hard time to understand how could a nine-year-old referring to your death so easily. He was basically grinning while telling you that you're gonna likely die soon.

Suddenly though his expression changed for a second, he was staring in front of him blankly like someone has turned off a switch in his head. But right after it, he looked at you blinking a few. "Ah sorry I have to go, Mr. Dennis wants to be in the Light." He said finally with a sheepish smile. "See you later then!" After it, Hedwig stood up and went to the door. He waved before he closed the door leaving you in the darkness.

You went to the lamp and turn it on, then sat down onto the bed. Actually onto Your bed since apparently, you lived here. You couldn't hope in any sort of help soon anyway.

You sighed. Hedwig seemed to be innocent, well at least on his own. You started to figure out the relationships between those personalities. That Dennis must have been the leader, the creator of this horrible plan, then there was Patricia, who seemed to be nice, but.. you didn't trust her at all. You could have bet that she's on Dennis' side. And Hedwig.. you assumed that he's just there and he listens to the others. The odds of him being any sort of leader was very low. He was just a nine-year-old after all. Also, you didn't know anything about this "Light" thing either.. Thinking about what Hedwig said, you could only think that whoever used this "Light", was be able to use the body. So many questions were gathering in your head. Were there more individuals? Who was the original one, and why did the others appear? You didn't hope to get answers though, but it was interesting to think about it anyway.

The noise of the opening door has distracted you from your thoughts. After looking towards the steel object, you saw your keeper walking in, now in his brown buttoned up shirt again. Because of his glasses, you assumed that you faced with Dennis again. Although, to be honest, it wasn't that hard to guess it, since he was bringing some cleaning supplies with himself.

"I brought you some environmentally friendly cleaning supplies to -" he started, but then he stopped for a second quickly moving his eyes towards the ceiling with concern. You looked at the same place but didn't find any difference, so you asked the guy, frowning.

"Is everything alright?"

He flinched to your sound that caught your eyes. "Of course," He said clearing his throat as he set his glasses right. "Why wouldn't it be?"

Such a weird man.

Then after a bit of hesitation, he went to the bathroom door. After opening it, he quickly turned away with a disgust on his face. "Oh C'mon!" He exclaimed, raising his free hand to his temple to massage it. "I know you don't think about this place like your home, but still, at least TRY to keep everything clean." He sighed frustratedly. Then he held out the cleaning supplies towards you. "Take this."

You hesitated, but then you slowly went closer to him and took the bucket. He directed his index finger towards the bathroom indicating for you to go in. You'd tried to wash your trousers after yesterday's incident which caused a bit of mess in the place. Slowly crouching down, you took the sponge from the bucket and started to soak up the remained puddle under the sink.

"Just why do you have to be so messy? You haven't even been here for 24 hours and you've caused such a big mess around you." He snapped quietly.

You didn't answer, just continued cleaning up obediently. You didn't want to take up the conversation because this way you didn't have the chance to make him upset accidentally. You didn't want to be in the same situation as yesterday.

"And no, you HAD to make a mess in the other room as well."

Just ignore him.

"Just to let you know, I had to clean up after you!"

Ignore him...

"Oh speaking of that"

Why doesn't he leave already?!

"You made your trousers dirty.."

Leave. Me. Alone!

"Take them off."

The sponge has frozen in your hands. You shakily swallowed, not believing in your ears. At least, you hoped you just misunderstood it. You really hoped it. As you slowly turned to your keeper, you saw him standing in the doorframe, looking straight into your eyes. His serious expression told you without any words, that he's not joking. You timidly stood up then while biting your lower lip, you looked down to your trousers.

"I'm waiting, young lady."

His firm command made your stomach twist. His deep voice sounded so dangerous, and you could feel his eyes on your body. You just really wanted to run away.

But you couldn't do that.

First, you got rid off your shoes just to make this whole process faster. Then after a shaky sigh, you unbuttoned your black jeans, and you pulled them down. With closing your eyes you tried to imagine that it's just a really bad dream. His eyes were burning on your bare legs, but this didn't give you any sort of pleasant feeling. You just wanted to end this quickly.

While handing them the clothes, you didn't take off your eyes from the tiled floor. This overwhelming embarrassment made your face dark red, and even if you sheepishly tried to cover your lower part by dragging down your checked shirt, the burning feeling didn't let you go. Why does something like this always have to happen to you..?

Your keeper stepped closer to take off the piece of clothing, then he leaned towards you while he was biting his lower lip.

"I hope you know that I just want your best." He said quietly, almost whispering.

You didn't dare to say anything. Clenching your fist, you just tried to swallow up your gathering tears in your eyes.

You didn't want to give him the opportunity to see you crying. Fortunately, he decided to go back to the doorframe. After a bit hesitation though, he turned back to you.

"Stay as obedient as now, so I won't have to punish you. You'll be good, won't you?"

You silently nodded.

"Good."

You heard the fading sounds of steps before the noise of the shutting door left you in complete silence. You shakily sighed before collapsing to the floor. This was true hell. And this man.. he clearly enjoyed this. He enjoyed that you were in his hands. And.. you couldn't do anything against him.

You HAD to get out of here.
