Red Roses - Part 27

He didn’t cry or scream loudly. It was no use. He had no idea where he was or whether there were people outside this room. He had to get out of this room and find Lucy. But it seemed like distant dream. Helping someone was impossible when one’s own life is on stake. He looked at the creature. What was this creature?

Was this monster?  He hadn’t seen or heard about such creatures existing in planet earth. He was always felt that the presence of any supernatural was only myth. “ Who are you ?” , he wanted to say. But the words were stuck in his mouth due to fear. It had no eyes, no mouth or no eyes or any feature that would call it human.

The creature moved closer to him with it’s weapon. It was ready to start it’s work of massacre. Another victim’s life was going to be sacked as part of it’s obligation. It bought the chainsaw towards his thighs and stopped it there before it directed it’s weapon inside his flesh. The blood gushed out of his wound. The pain was intolerable. He screamed loudly.

It waited for him to stop screaming. When the pain was bearable, he stopped screaming. But the torture didn’t stop there. It pierced the weapon inside his next body part until every part of his body was wounded. The pain was excruciating with every wound it made on his body. However he was able to bear. He didn’t give up. He had made up his mind that he would never give up on his life so easily.

The creature was about to place it on his heart when he spoke for the first time, “ Stop! Can you please answer one question before you can take my life? Where is Lucy.. the girl who was with me? I want to see her one last time.” The creature didn’t answer. It was about to accomplish it’s duty. It was about to put the chainsaw into his heart. Within a split second, he heard a feminine voice asking it to stop.

He was startled. The voice was so familiar. It was Lucy. He was relieved that she was fine. But the fear appeared from nowhere. Why was she here?  “ Lucy… Run!!”, he screamed at her. She didn’t listen. She walked towards the monster as if it was normal. “Stop Fern! Won’t you let me play with my prey? I promise you that I will give him to you once I am done.”, she said. She gave an evil sarcastic smile.
