Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 40
"Talk to me baby."
I look at her with tears in my eyes.
"Violet...this man...this monster! I can't leave you here with him. If leave, you have to come with me. He will kill you! Maybe not today. Nor tomorrow. He's dangerous! A deranged lunatic! You deserve better.... you deserve the world... YOU are my world! I love you with all my heart! I need you in my life and I'd rather die here than live the rest of my life without you!"
Violet gives me a passionate smile as she tells she loves me too. I need to embrace her! I need to feel her touch and kiss her. My passion for her is enough to give me the strength to pull hard on the ropes behind me. I yank them harder and harder. I yell in pain as the ropes loosen up their tight grips on me. The ropes burn and cut my skin as they begin to snap. It takes me awhile for me to really loosen up the ropes! I'm finally able to pull out my left arm from behind me! I grab my right arm and pull off the remainder of the rope. My hands were free!! I reach over to the night stand and grab the knife. I start to cut away at the duct tape that has bounded me for days! Alas, I'm free!!!
I stand up from my chair and immediately fall over to my side. My legs were too weak from the loss of blood flow sitting in a chair tied up for days, having absolutely no movement!
"Luke! Are you ok??"
I stay on the floor for a few moments and then use whatever strength I have left to reach up to the bed to use as support to pick me up.
"I'm ok...I just need a moment to breathe."
I'm slowly able to regain my balance. I can't feel my legs at this point and my arms feel like jelly. I grab a plastic cup next to the television and make my way to the bathroom. I turn on the faucet and pour the tap water Into the cup. I start to drink up and hydrate. Words cannot describe how dry my mouth is!! After about ten cups of water, I pour a cup for Violet and make my way to her.
I pour the water down her mouth for her. She drinks it down, relieved to finally replenish her thirst!
"Luke, if you want me to escape with you, you're going to have to use that knife and cut these cuffs off of me! Clark always takes the key for the cuffs with him! Just know that it's not too late for you to escape and run away! You have a full life ahead of you! If you don't leave in time, he'll kill us both! I'll never forget about you! I'll always cherish the time we spent together! I need you to know that."
I look at Violet, she's all bruised up. I can see the look of fear and desperation in her eyes. I reach over and touch her face. I lean my head into hers and for the first time in what felt like an eternity, we share a kiss. It's a deep passionate kiss, but it feels so different. It almost feels like a goodbye.
Determined, I grab the knife.
"I'll get you out of here Violet! will NEVER leave you!"
Violet smiles weakly and nods her head. She understood. I immediately start slicing at the chain of the handcuffs cutting as hard and fast as possible. After going at it for almost half an hour, I was making little to no effort. The knife was already dull after the hell that Clark had put me through with it. My hand starts to get tired from the force of me trying it cut the metal chain in half. I eventually decide to stop and figure out another plan.
"This isn't going to work. There has to be SOMETHING else in this room to do the job!"
Violet suggests I use a bobby pin of hers to try and open up the latch where one would insert the key to lock and unlock the cuffs. When I grab the clip, I notice something shiny from the corner of my eye. On the other side of the desk, I see Clark's gun! I grab it and take it with me, placing it on the nightstand where my chair is positioned. Violet looks at me with concem.
"Luke, I don't think that's a good idea. Something bad can happen."
I look at her taken aback.
"Something bad can happen? Something BAD can HAPPEN? Violet look at us! This is Bad! This entire situation is HORRIFIC! As of right now, we're both screwed!"
Before she can respond, we hear footsteps approach the room
from outside. Immediately, I hide the gun. Violet tells me to quickly
put the gag back in her mouth. I'm barely able to do so, as I hear
the door start to unlock. I grab the remainders of the ropes that
tied me and place my hands behind the chair. Just as I'm stuffing tied me and place my hands behind the chair. Just as I'm stuffing my mouth with Violet's panties, the door swings open. We both pretend to be asleep as Clark makes his way over to Violet. I open my eyes slightly to see what he's doing. To my utter surprise, he takes the key to the cuffs and unlocks her from the bedpost.
"Wake up!"
He slaps her hard against the face. Violet jolts up in surprise. Clark then makes his way over to me with a bottle of water. I see it coming but still act surprised when he splashes me with cold water to the face.
"Did you both miss me while I was away?"
I ignore him while I do my best to hide my arms behind the chair.
Clark stops cold in his tracks when he looks down at my feet.
I forgot about the duct tape!
"AND JUST WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING??"
My heart is pounding. I see him!
"WHAT THE FUCK?? GET BACK IN YOUR SEAT NOW BITCH!!!!
He screams at me and reaches for his pocket knife on the bed. That same knife that he has used to slash my cheek, arms, and chest. The cold water to the face gives me enough adrenaline to grab the gun on the nightstand. He shoves me to the floor. I hit my head with a loud thud! My vision starts to blur as we wrestle, both of us trying to overcome each other.
Suddenly, the gun goes off. BANG BANG!!!
I hear Violet screaming in the background. I look over to my side. There lies Clark in a pool of blood. Dead. I feel the cold metal of the gun in my hand. I can't move. I can barely see as my vision is blurred. I'm in and out of consciousness, wondering why I can't get up. I'm starting to feel the familiar sensation of faint sweeping over me.
"LUKE!!! Oh my God! Oh my God!!! Please don't die!"
I hear Violet panicking over me. I want to get up, hug her, and tell her everything is going to be okay. I try to move, but my body is paralyzed and I feel a sharp nasty pain jolt from my neck up to the back of my head. My head is spinning. My vision begins to shut down as I my last glimpses of Clark's corpse and Violet standing above me start to fade. I hear her in the distance once my vision is completely gone.
