KAYLEEN
I opened my eyes after feeling the sun’s heat on my face. Maybe I left the window open again. It’s kinda late and my body feels tired though I already slept. I stretched my arms as I stood up. Walking towards the door, I suddenly realized something. It made me cover my mouth with my eyes widening. My hand smells funny too. Like it’s been washed with blood.
When I look at it, my body trembled in fear. I look at the bed once more seeing the rope gotten to the floor. My reflection on the mirror made me scream my lungs out. Blood is all over me like I showered just pure fresh blood on me. Traces of blood is messed on my room too and on the bed.
I started crying dropping my knees on the floor and sit pressing my back on the wall. That strangers dead before, it’s all me. I killed them all. I started shouting angrily and stand up to throw things. I even hurt myself by smashing the door with my bare hands.
I e
KAYLEENI’m all clean when he came back knocking at the door.“Kayleen?” I immediately run to the door.“Zeke please, you can’t just bring me here. She might do something to you.”“Trust me, you are safe here.” He opened my door locking it fast too. “I want to meet her too. I wanna talk to her, know her.”“That’s crazy!”“Shh! Calm down Kayleen.” His warm hand reached for both of my shoulders caressing them softly as he is looking at my eyes. “Just trust me.” I gave him a nod.The days went normal as I’m locked there. I finally have a normal day, eating normal too. I can’t think how can Zeke help me like this even he knows I’ve killed a lot already. I also murdered one of those people quite close to his heart.If he called the cops and give me to them, I will definitely accept it. I know I deserve to be inside jail than here
KAYLEEN“Shaira!” I spoke once more and it terrified her. Zeke stopped me from walking towards her. When I took another blink, I saw a different woman. They just have the same feature decryption but they have a very different face.When Zeke felt that I’m all calmed he let me go and hugged his fiancé.“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” I apologized showing her the sincerest eyes I have. Her bitter smile together with her terrified eyes made me feel like I became a monster for a moment. “I didn’t mean to. I just mistook you for someone else.”“It’s okay,” she said a bit calm when Zeke let go of the hug. Looking how Zeke cares for her felt weirdly like a sudden prick of pain in my heart. Maybe I’m just not used seeing him like this to a woman since I met him.“Kayleen, does she has something similar with Shaira?” Zeke asked glancing at me with his hand is around her waist.
SHAIRAYes, I am back. It’s so entertaining when she feels horrible or something. It’s calling me to wake again and here I am studying the huge room she got. That doctor is insanely rich, I say. I tried opening the door and everything that can be opened but then they are all incredibly securely locked good. Therefore, I can’t get out and hunt that bitchy Johanna.I’m enjoying myself tonight stuffing my stomach with so much food and tire this body.There are lovely sets of knifes in the cooking area making me check them out one by one. They are awesomely sharp too. Good for cutting some flesh. The thought of blood made me smile a lot and arrange the knife on the table from the largest to smallest.I look at the CCTV camera. Zeke might be watching; I should take his attention. I took one knife stand in the middle of the room to tear my own skin on the hand. Blood started dripping on the floor from my palm. The pain is
KAYLEENMy body is so tired though I woke up very late. Somethings isn’t right so I open my eyes and check myself in the front of the mirror. I almost screamed seeing how horrible I look. I’m filled with bandages in different parts of my arms and legs. I immediately, contacted Zeke but he’s not answering. Maybe he is still at work.I put the phone down and check the whole room. A knife is on the floor and some blood stains too. The curtain is torn making the sun’s light pass through the naked window.What did just happen?I can’t remember anything and I don’t feel good. Since worry has grown inside me, I roamed all over the room to search anything but can’t find any. That only means, she hasn’t killed anyone when she awakened.Noticing the CCTV made me think of asking Zeke to look at the footage. I can’t help myself but think too much about what she has done. Unfortunately, Zeke is not available rig
KAYLEEN“I’m sorry,” he apologized. I’m a bit mad but I’m controlling myself before Shaira could take over my body again.I pointed at the computer. “I used that,” I said dropping my hand to my side.His expression lightened and tried walking near me but I moved away. I just don’t like how he think about me. I admit I deserve it but it just hurts a lot.“I already know you don’t trust me. Now, why am I here? What are you really planning about me?” I started doubting him too.“Hey. Look, I’m sorry,” he apologized again wearing a sincere face.“Zeke?” His fiancé showed up from the door but she’s not stepping inside.“What about her? What is she planning?” Everything is heating up so he sighed.“Let’s talk about this the other day,” he said and left me there.I’m alone again in the silent room. Whatever I do, I d
KAYLEENI breath in some air after staring myself too much on the mirror. I’m making sure that I don’t really look like myself, I don’t want Zeke to be in trouble.“Kayleen?” Zeke knocke
ZEKEI took Kayleen back home by force even though she didn’t like the idea. The cops didn’t catch us but I’m sure the CCTV footage of that restaurant will lead them to my house. I have to think for an alibi. Some strong statement that will make them believe.“You don’t have to do this Zeke,” Kayleen said but I pushed her inside her room forcefully and shut the door close as fast as I could. She kept on pushing and smashing it while I’m trying to block it. I successfully locked it.My breathing is heavy for a moment and I’m trying to calm down.“Just let the police take me!” she insisted but I didn’t say another word. My decision is final.The sudden doorbell almost made my heart pop out of me. My body started shaking, thinking about the cops on my door. I walked in the front of the entrance door
ZEKE“Stop this Shaira,” I told her and turned my back but she pulled he back. I was about to push her but she clings on me like a leech from the back. I can feel her breath on my ear and it’s giving me a weird feeling.“
KAYLEENI’m trying to read him, if he is being serious about what he just said. He looked more than serious and is even looking at my lips like crazy and bite his own lower lip. I admit his threat is effective. Pushing him won’ help since he is too strong.“She want me to leave!” I said all fast. The strong arms holding me loosened so I went free. I inhaled a lot of air to feed my lungs with oxygen since I forgot to breath normally a while ago.“Well, this is my house. You can’t listen to her. You only listen to
KAYLEEN“Why did you stop?” he asked right away noticing that I’m no longer doing anything. My eyes are nailed to him feeling really embarrassed.“I just realized I’m not a kid anymore to act like that,” I answered turning my eyes down.“I love—like it. I’ve never seen someone who can be happy with small things like this.” He walked towards me standing at my side. With a quick hand, he caught a firefly in front of me. I was am
KAYLEENI see no changes from Zeke. He is the same man as usual, carrying his own emotions with him. The days have passed but I still couldn’t leave the house. A lot of chances are left ignored as I remember how he is wanting me to stay. My trust has grown since that day he told me about his past.The door is unlocked but I can’t open it and ran away. My body is hesitating. I ended up staying and thinking about it over and over again. His gray eyes are reminding me to be with him.It’s Saturday again and he brought me with him to the hospital. It’s another day that my feet have stepped outside the house. My heart is filled
ZEKE“What happened to your family Zeke? What’s with your past?” Her question is the same as Johanna’s.“I will tell you everything, Kayleen,” I told her as I guided her to the living room. We sat there silently. I’m composing myself as I start to remember everything while she is waiting for me to say something. She is sitting on the parallel couch with mine. Her beautiful brown eyes are sparkling with the lights.As I started talking, the memories flashed against my eyes.
KAYLEENI can’t help but cover my mouth with both of my hands. How can he just hide something like this?These are skeletons of his family sitting on separated chairs still wearing their clothes. Cob webs are all over their bodies and the room doesn’t smell that pleasant. The chairs are like thrones with the king in the center. The huge portrait of their family are plastered at the back. They look like a happy family together. Zeke has a sister with dark gray hair and sparkling gray eyes like him. She is curly too and looks like a porcelain doll.Their parents both have gray hair too. The father has the curliest while the mother has a
KAYLEENEverything’s been normal the next day. Zeke seemed like he didn’t remember what he just did. Maybe he is too drunk that night. I decided to go to him early but I can’t find him in his room. I roamed around until I found him on the kitchen drinking a glass of water still looking so messy.His surprised gray eyes meet mine when he noticed my presenc
KAYLEENZeke and I are all silent sitting face to face in the dining table. He unlocked my room and guided me to the main dining area of the house. He doesn’t look like the happy and lively person I meet. Now, I felt more horrible letting myself get in this house and mess up with his life.I will take his trust to let me go in and out of my room. Then, leave on
ZEKE“Stop this Shaira,” I told her and turned my back but she pulled he back. I was about to push her but she clings on me like a leech from the back. I can feel her breath on my ear and it’s giving me a weird feeling.“
