Chapter 21 ELSAI still had my hands wrapped over my body in a protective and shameful way. I pulled my leg to my chest on the bed filled with red roses that he had carried me to after carefully removing the knives. I couldn’t think straight; I had no idea what to do next. The door to the room I was in opened, and my body instantly did a little shake. He had folded the sleeve of his black shirt, revealing a cursive tattoo on his left arm with an initial ‘H’.I moved backward to the end of the bed, my arms still wrapped over my body, and my heart still beating against my chest with intensity. I felt pain all over my body, mostly from the sharp knives that pierced me.“I drew you a bath. Can you walk, or do you want me to carry you?” He asked, his eyes staring directly at me, like he felt sorry for me. How could he feel sorry after he caused this?“I want to be left alone.

Episode 24 (Noche Del Diablo)ELSA"Nooooo," I tried to scream, but it came out muffled, his hand still on my mouth. He turned me over, so I was facing him. Tears, hurt, and anger filled me up. He wore a ghost skeleton mask and skeleton hand gloves too, one that covered his face and hands properly. "All they wanted to do was help. You monster." I punched his chest with every ounce of energy I could muster up at that moment."Don’t worry, Kitten. Their deaths are personal." His thick voice filled the air as he jerked my leg off the ground and threw me over his shoulder.I kicked and struggled; he didn’t flinch, he didn’t act like he was carrying someone half his weight. "Let me down! Let me go this instant."He opened the police car door next to us and threw me inside the passenger seat, using the handcuffs in the front seat to clip my wrist to the bars on the car seat.He stepped into the driver's seat with some keys in his hands as he put on the car ignition."You… you’re going to ki
