Killer Crown 54 Chapter 54: Captive

"Thank you mother."

She sits down on the bench,

"Come sit, you've earned it."

"Mhm."

"You ran far my child, I think you deserve an award for such good behavior."

"A reward?"

She nods,

"What would you like dear?"

"Answers."

"Oh? To what?"

"This place... is it real?"

"It's real enough."

"What does that mean?"

"You'll understand soon, next question."

"Ok...are you dead?"

"Very much so, no thanks to you."

"Does that mean i'm dead too?"

"Hmm,"

She grabs my face and examines me,

"Not yet."

"Oh...I have one last question."

"Very well, what is it?"

"Are you mad at me?"

"Why would I be mad at my favorite daughter?"

"You know why."

"Oh, that. Honestly I can't really say that I am."

"W-what? Really?"

"Yes my child, now I must go. I'm afraid you're time's up."

"My time's up?"

She starts to fade away and a burning sensation runs through my body. Like there's lava inside my veins.

"Well well, look who decided to wake up."

The sudden light hurts my eyes,

"W-where am I?"

"Hmm, I guess you could say that you're home."

"This...is not home."

'd.a.m.nit, i've lost too much blood. I can barely speak.'

"Oh my sweet, it is now."

The man reaches out and touches my face but I jerk away only to be held down on a table by several chains.

"Ouu, even bleeding out like a wounded animal, and you still remain lively. I like that about you."

"f.u.c.k...you."

"Heh, maybe when you're not half dead gorgeous."

He opens up a door and two women walk in.

"La necesito agradable y saludable para lo que suceda después, así que arréglala muy bien para mí."

(I need it nice and healthy for what happens next, so fix it very well for me.)

'It. What am I, a f.u.c.king animal?'

The women bow and he leaves the room.

'Do they work for him? Are they some kind of doctors?'

They walk towards me and cut open my shirt. The smaller one opens up a first aid kit while the other cleans my wound. I try not to wince as she roughly wipes away the blood.

"No entiendo por qué la quiere viva. Solo mírala, está sucia."

(I don't understand why he wants her alive. Just look at her, she's dirty.)

"Ella no estará aquí por mucho tiempo. Apurémonos, no me gusta."

(She won't be here for long. Let's hurry, I don't like it.)

'They don't know that I can understand them...good.'

"Um, t-thank you. For helping me."

"Don't thank us,"

"We're just doing what we're told."

"But still, I owe both of you."

"Stop talking. You're wasting energy."

The woman tries to put a mask over my face but I jerk my head away,

"What are doing? We have to put you under. The wound is too deep."

"I'll be fine. Just st.i.tch me back up."

"Tch,"

She shakes her head,

"Perra terca. Tómese su tiempo en este, quiero que duela."

(Stubborn b.i.t.c.h. Take your time on this one, I want it to hurt.)

***

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"I mean, I don't know!"

"d.a.m.nit Carlos! Have you tried to call her?"

"Well no s.h.i.t man, i've called at least five times but each time it goes to voicemail."

"Well make it six!"

He rolls his eyes and pulls out his phone,

"Wait...you hear that?"

"Uh, hear what?"

"See? There it is again!"

I race up the stairs and swing open the door.

'No, no please don't tell me she-'

Her phone is lying on her side of the bed.

"f.u.c.k Kazmaria, where are you?"

***

"Ok, we're done here."

'f.u.c.king finally. I thought those two would never leave.'

"Hey wait!"

They slam the door shut and i'm left alone.

'Fine, this is the perfect time to scan the room for anything I can use.'

"Now let's see what we got."

"Let's see what?"

"You...you're the man from earlier."

"How rude of me, I am Kai."

"Let me go!"

"No can do babe. You belong to me now."

"I belong to no one. Now let me go."

He draws closer to the the table and touches my st.i.tches,

"I heard that you didn't want to be out to sleep, why is that?"

"It doesn't matter just get me the h.e.l.l outta here."

"Are you some kinda s.a.d.i.s.tic freak? Ouu, you're a nasty woman, aren't you?"

"I am no such thing, you filthy a.s.shole."

"ANSWER MY d.a.m.n QUESTION!"

'What the h.e.l.l's his problem?'

"Why didn't you take the anesthesia?"

"Because I didn't know what would happen to me if I did."

"Hmm, now that wasn't so hard, was it?"

He presses down on my wound but I don't flinch.

"Does that not hurt you?"

"I've suffered far worse pain than this."

"I like that answer, maybe i'll keep you alive once this is all over."

"Once what is over?"

He clicks his tongue,

"You'll find out later. Until then let's get you washed up and dressed. Apestas a sangre."

(You stink of blood.)

I grit my teeth,

'I'll kill you, and I'll make it slow.'

"¿Qué tal si te quito las cadenas y nos vamos a bañar juntos?"

(How about I take off your chains and we go to bathe together?)

'Don't respond Kaz, keep up the act.'

"Wow you're dumb, I guess you're all b.o.o.bs and no brains. Hm, no matter, i'll send someone for you in a little bit."

The heads for the door,

"Hey!"

I looks over his shoulder,

"Don't go. I don't like being alone."

He smiles,

"An a.s.sa.s.sin who doesn't like being alone huh? Very well then."

'Nows the time to look for his keys. When he unchains you DO NOT ATTACK! He won't let me out again if I do.'

He unhooks a key ring from his pants but adds another on. He then reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a remote. He presse down on it and my chains pop off simultaneously.

'Hmm, handy.'

I slowly sit up and dramatically hold my side,

"Ahh, s.h.i.t."

"If it hurts that much I'll carry you."

"No, I don't need you're help."

"Stop being so d.a.m.n stubborn."

He scoops me up off the table and heads for the exit once again.

'You dumba.s.s, i've got you wrapped around my finger and it hasn't even been 5 minutes.'
