The Eternal Sorrow

The End. Or is it?

"What did I tell you about misbehavior?"

"I'm sorry, please don't kill me, it won't happen again."

"That was the last chance, sorry Lilian." Nicole watched as he pulled out a knife and cut her head off cleanly with one stroke. She held her breath so as to not scream as she heard the girl scream. She saw him put her head back on the body and put it up against the wall and take a photo. The film came out and he shook it and laughed with a crazed expression on his face as he left the room.

She heard him mutter "where is that stupid girl anyway?" His expression was annoyed as he stomped off. She heaved a big sigh as she turned around. What she saw almost made her fall over. She was face to face with the man she saw just leaving the room. He looked at her with his eyebrows raised. She thought about it for a few minutes, then she remembered she hadn't taken her schizophrenia medication. She rushed out of the room and went to her room and laid down just as Aiden was coming. She thought about how she was going to tell him as the door opened. Would he say yes, or would he be confused? She wasn't sure which would occur but this was her only chance at escape. If this didn't work she might end up like Lillian or worse. Her heart ached as she thought about what happened to her as bile rose up her throat. She felt the sudden need to vomit as she vividly remembered the severed body parts and the horrid stench of the room. She had only one chance to do this and if she failed it was over. She jumped in shock as the door opened suddenly.

"Where were you?" He was suspicious of her. She needed to come up with a lie and fast.

"Oh. I was in the bathroom." She began to wring her hands together behind her back as he paced around her twice, stopping in front of her and stooping down to her height. She realized that although she was 5'7, he still needed to crouch to be at eye level with her.

"Hmm, what's on your mind?" He noticed that she was out of breath, nervous and acting as if she'd seen something. She took a cautious breath before deciding that she was going to do it and if she died then she would have died fighting for her life.

"Do you happen to have any schizophrenia medication?"

"You have schizophrenia?" He raised one eyebrow, unaware of his apparent sister's condition. He concluded that was the cause of her lacking breath, nervousness and her acting as if she saw something she shouldn't have.

"Yea, I thought you knew?" He wasn't aware of it but she just exposed that he wasn't her brother. He left the room for 2 minutes and came back with a bottle of pills in her name. She was surprised. Had he taken them from her kitchen? She decided to just go along with it and swallowed the pills with a glass of water. She smiled and gave him back the glass. He looked at her with a confused expression. He looked at the bottle and realized it was empty and glanced at her but she was ok, or so he thought. The moment he left the room, she started coughing blood and before he could get back, she was on the floor foaming at the mouth. He looked at her phone to realize she had called the police.

"Don't worry, ma' an ambulance is on the way." The call ended and he realized he was in so much trouble. He decided to leave before they could arrive, but the moment he turned around he was in cuffs.

"Search the house!" He heard one of the officers say.

"Wait, I didn't do anything, she overdosed herself." He tried to prove his innocence by allowing them to check his security footage of the rooms. To their advantage and his shock, it showed all the women he'd kidn*pped, tortured and killed in the past 20 years. He realized he'd been fooled by Nicole and his life was over. He was going to be away for a very long time and by the time he got out, if he ever did, she would've filed a restraining order against him.
