Chapter 20
Because it takes a killer to know one.
......
"Up!" Said a guy's voice, commanding my still sleeping brain. I pried my eyes open then turned my head to look at the source but as I saw the image of the guy I resumed my previous position, facing the white wall to sleep once more. Logan, the son of that bastard sergeant stood in front of my mattress, looking over at me. I could tell that he was afraid, faking the smirk plastered on his face. He was just a coward like his dad.Contemplating my next move, I sighed deeply letting out all the frustration of my last conversation with Nick, weighing the results of my actions. "Up!" again he said, shouting it this time, emphasizing the word like it would make any difference.
"How would you like to die?" Taunting him, I jumped off, grabbing his hand to twist it on his back. I could hear the

No. I think it wasn't any different......."I'm going to kill you all!" I shouted as the two guards pushed me inside my cell, meeting the hard concrete. I hit the metal door repeatedly with my hands until my palms turned red and my knuckles bleed out. "Let me out!" I cried until my voice became pained and hoarse. Dropping on my knees, I felt hopeless and defeated. Dresden fucking played me and I didn't have a single idea about it.The stupid mind games worked perfectly on me. I let them played me. Curving into a ball, I lied down on the mattress, the tears never leaving my eyes. Crazy ideas were running amok in my head, plotting the best way of revenge. I imagined many ways how I could kill each one of them, especially Dresden. I would torture them to my satisfaction until their very last breath.I promised

I got no time to explain but we have to move.......The feeling at the back of your mind that kept you from looking everyone in the eyes, as if they were mind readers that knew what you were thinking about. It felt like they were just waiting for you to make your first move and then poop they would catch you in the act. I couldn't erase the feeling from my thoughts, even how much persuasion I did with my brain that Nick could pull it, I just couldn't. The incident with Dresden, would not be repeated again.I made sure that all my actions were calculated perfectly.But Nick, he said he would be back soon and it was days ago. I thought he would be gone for a few hours only, not days. I haven't heard a single news about him after that meeting, there was no trace of him everywhere I go. It was like he vanished witho

I chose this......."Jodi, what's wrong?" Nick asked, questioning me with worried look. My eyes were still glued at the unmoving camera lens. It took me all the effort to raise my hand and point to its direction."There," I pointed upward.Nick traced my finger to the direction of the camera, an understanding downed to him yet he remained calm. He squeezed my shoulders shoulders, "Don't worry, the cameras are on loop, but we have to keep moving. Trust me, just trust me," Nick explained smiling warmly at me, the bruises on his face were still evident."Okay, let's go then." I let out the breath I was holding and we started our walk again. We had stops and halts whenever we would hear incoming steps.The thumping of my heart never stopped, it went hundred miles per second like the galloping of million horses.I wa

You are the one who looped the camera......."I need to pee, princess." Tears started to form at the corner of Tutti's eyes, her hands going to her tummy. She must be holding her dam long enough. But opening the box could result to unimaginable things however I couldn't stand looking at kid's pained expression."Can you not hold it much longer?" Pleading with the kid was too much, she was the most tame kid I have ever met. We were in the box for far too long, night and day had come. If not for the food inside the bags we would have starve to death. And there she was holding her self like an adult.Soft cries came out from the kid, building up tension inside the box. I raised my hands without no other choice, lifting up the lid that separated us from the outside world. My knees ached from being in the same position for too long, struggling

Well, we can always run but we cannot hide from our fate.......The only thing my body wanted to do the moment the door opened up and my eyes met hers was to lunged for her to the ground and let my hands do the work of strangling that fragile neck to death. I wanted to take her life, to make them pay for all the horrid things they made me experience.I simply wanted to kill her.I could have sworn a glint of resemblance passed accross her eyes but soon as it came, it vanished. She dismissed me with an annoyed look and proceeded her rant with Logan. "Why did you made the guards leave for? Dad would go ballistic if he heard about this!" Dresden spurted, arms crossed in her chest. Her guards were no where in sight, a part of her dubious act. But there was no danger awaiting for her.She was

I know. ......"Come on, let us get inside. Its not safe here. Are we on schedule?" Siba asked meeting us midway to her. She led us inside the farm, the dead like bodies of the unconscious girls laid silently in the beds. Waiting to be harvested for the evil's use. I passed them wanting badly to yell at their ears and wake them up but the only thing I could do at the moment was empathize. Clenching my fists into balls I dragged my feet along the white tiled floor, moving my unwilling eyes away. I silently promised to come back for them."What are we doing here?" Frustrations, maybe mixed with my confusion,I spurted out of a sudden to the two who started their hushed talking. I couldn't take it being left alone in the dark, knowing nothing of the supposed plans of escaping. "Tell me please, I just couldn't find it in myself to calm down when I don't know about our next move

The vents.......When we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, it doesn't mean that there's no end to it, sometimes patience is what it takes.I really thought we were going to walk for eternity. The dark passage just go on without the seem of having an end. Stairs leading us to nowhere and the small fire of the lighter in Nick's hand was getting smaller with each of our steps.My legs were going heavy like blocks of cement, the only thing making me move was the idea of finally being free. That at the very end of the tunnel there would be the waiting sun, gloriously smiling at me. That once again I could spread my wings and fly into the vast horizon without the need of watching behind my back. That at last I could smell the fresh air after so long.We walked for hours, not talking or making any unnecessary sound other than the falls of our feet to t

I'm giving up.......The guy gaped at me, travelling his eyes up at the open ceiling and back at me. He was about to say something and I was ready to make him stay quiet, but then the moment he opened his mouth, the unthinkable happened, the guy passed down cold on the floor. Shockingly as it was, I made my way out the room without second thoughts.I was back in the hallways that gave off a five star hotel ambiance within a jiffy. Taking deep breaths I travelled to the rendezvous the fastest my legs could afford. I ignored the throngs of guests that started to huddle up, panicking as to why everyone were starting to pass out. They would soon all pass out anyway. The perfect diversion I could have wished for.I started to run.This couldn't be happening, I read and memorized the map in my head. I couldn't have gone the wrong way. The ide
