| Michael's pov |
I'm being dragged across the stone cold floor.
To where?
I have no idea?
Am I going to die?
Probably yes.
"Fresh meat!"
Fuck.
They swarm around me like pigeons to a dropped piece of food.
"We'll wait to open him up. He looks too fresh."
The thing throws me over its shoulder and slams me back down.
I hear a crack noise.
My ass.
The thing starts to laugh.
"You just broke your tail bone."
I'm close to tears.
He slams the door.
My foot is chained to a pole about 2 feet away from me.
A bathroom.
I'm in a bathroom.
So that means one of two things.
I'm close to the exit, or I'm even more fucking screwed.
I hear screaming.
Ashley.
The thing carries her into the room.
Slamming her down on a toilet seat.
The doors missing on it.
I see a piece of her leg next to the floor.
After the thing is done chaining her to the pole next to the toilet, he picks up the flesh.
"Here, eat up."
He throws it at me.
Laughing as he walks out.
I don't touch it.
Just stare at it.
I look at Ashley.
Half of her leg is gone.
Her leg has blood dripping down it still.
"You know it's rude to stare?"
I look up to met her grey eyes.
I can't tell if she's angry or upset.
"You're the fucking reason I'm here."
She rolls her eyes.
"So were you going to tell her? Were you going to leave her out there? To die? To get fooled around with?"
I shake my head.
"Then what is it Michael?! What did you want from her?"
She rattles the chain.
"I-i love her Ashley. I wanted to save her."
I don't look up from the filthy floor.
Dried blood stains and bugs are on it.
"Oh."
It's silent.
"I'm sorry."
I look up at her.
"What?"
"I'm sorry. If I would've- if I would've known you loved her this much, I would've shut my mouth."
I look down again.
"I thought you were just messing with her, Mike." "I'm sorry."
It's silent again.
I try to move but I hear another crack.
"Fuck."
I mumble.
I lean against the wall lined with old sinks.
"How's your um-"
"My leg?"
I keep my gaze on one big spider and don't look up.
"It hurts, I'm trying really hard not to cry, or they'll take off another limb."
We hear a thump.
A bang.
Yelling.
The door opens.
"Fuck."
