Capítulo 6: Innocence
The atmosphere in the house became cold and intense. My unbelievable state forced tears down my eyes once again for the hundredth time. Mother Lu shook her head in shock and slowly walked out the room with disappointment written all over her face.
This whole time Sherman's head was down almost as if he was recollecting his memories from the incident.
"Well... there is a ton of work still waiting for me at the office, so... i am going to take my leave now." Sara said as she escorted herself out after waving goodbye with the already signed documents. Its too late now i was married to a murderer.
The silence that came in between me and Sherman when everyone left was a suffocatingly intense suspense. He maintained the momentum of looking at me and looking away for a whole while. His expression was as if he was disagreeing with whatever the news said. All i felt was fear, anxiety and questioning desires to know how exactly his brain worked.
Hours of awkward silence went by and it was just the Tv babbling itself away. The courage to speak finally just oozed out of me "I mean...you had a hammer last night didnt you?" The evidence that was embedded in my memory of the terror i felt seeing that hammer was astounding thinking that it was for me. little did i know he used it on other people instead.
"You killed them didnt you?" i asked as my uncontrollable questions spurted out.
"...."
He replied with the words of a mute. He tightened his fist and i could see the blood rushing away from them.
How much hatred did one have to have to do such horrendous acts. How much of a lunatic did one have to be to do such a thing.
"How could you? Those were innocent lives." My confidence for speech levels increased. but my tears contradicted.
"Is that what you think of me?...Am I just a fucking bastard who goes round taking people's lives without a reason?!... Is that all i amount to when it comes to you?" If i didnt know better i would think that he was hurt. I was almost feeling apologetic for a minute there, before clearly thinking about the evidence that was already placed before me. Anyone could connect the dots. Nothing could ever change the way i thought about him.
"So you did have clear reasons to kill them?.. So do you have clear reasons for wanting to kill me too?" It was a bit of a risky one but i needed to know the reasons. Maybe i could divert them. Whats done was already done i needed to think clear and find my way to survival.
"You know what..? I am the fucking stupid one that chose to go out there to save your arse. I dont even know why i bloody care." He hit the table harshly standing up causing my reflective 'standback'. He huffed as he spoke in anger. A volatile scare was what he did to my nerves.
"You are clearly a stupid idiot who cant differentiate whose trying to bloody help you and whose trying to end you." His rage travelled in waves. It was like my tears had come to a sudden stop and motions of movement were taken away from me.
He walked back and forth huffing, puffing and shaking his head in an obviously excruciating anger. "NOT NOW NOAH!!!" he roared once again before leaving the house.
The amount of confusion that rummaged the synapses in my brain had it jumbled up in a helix. What ever the hell was going on... was a clear indication that this place was going to be my place of death.
My chance of escape was there to grab. Mother Lu was upstairs and would most likely not notice me leaving. a sweat dropped as i got up from the couch. It felt like needles under my feet with every step i took towards the door. The sound of Mother Lu coming down the stairs had me flying back to my seat.
She came down with her phone stuck to her ear. She looked agitated and angry. It seemed like she was having bad news from the other side of the line.
"What!?" she roared making me jump.
"...When was this?...
Okay so how did stocks drop within less than 24 hours?...
Ofcourse i have to come. The company's at stake...
Sara double time, take up an investigation for any signs of company embezzlement from any of the share holders....
immediately!!" She cut off the phone right after that.
She came towards me with keys and her hand bag in her hand in an utter panic.
"Where is he?" She asked hurriedly
"Where are you going Mother Lu" I asked worried for my well being. If she left then if my chance to escape failed then that would mean i was stuck here with Sherman... I wasnt ready to accept that.
"Listen to me honey... the company is going down to shambles and if i dont go.. there is always a risk of bankruptcy..." She said holding my hands, almost in a pleading tone.
Company? They even owned a company?
I knew my facial expression was just enough to tell her how i felt.
"Look...here is a key to the guest room. If you are too scared to be around him just take a few snacks and water upstairs and then lock yourself inside. That way you wont get to see him. I'll make sure to come pick you both up tomorrow so dont worry" She smiled handing me the keys in reassurance.
"Now where is Sherman again?" she asked once again.
"He is upstairs probably in the toilet.." I fakely smiled taking a risk to lie to her face. Just so i could risk it to take a chance to escape. Only would it be possible if they both left. If she knew that Sherman wasnt here, she was most likely going to wait untill he came back and then every chance would be blown away from me.
"Right okay then.. be safe." She said leaving the house aswell. Moments of anticipation went by until i heard a car drive off.
I looked out the window and 2 glamorous 10/10 cars were waiting outside the porch.
The keys must be inside.
I quickly ran upstairs to what looked like Sherman's room. The same room i was nearly raped in. PTSD was already acting up within a day. I looked on his desk, his bed side table and even under the bed whilst humming "The keys, the keys" as if it would appear out of no where if i kept saying those words.
"Where the hell is it!?" I shouted at the top of my lungs knowing that the house was privacy to myself.
I turned around and I saw a familiar jacket right at the cloak hanger. I remembered his jacket from this morning. He used the car this morning whilst wearing it so it must be in his jacket. I bolted towards the jacket like it was going to runaway from me. Finally a smile since the minute I stepped foot here. With no attempt to even take a breather, i ran downstairs and outside.
The two cars right in front of me looked inviting. I panicked at the fact that i didnt know how to drive, but i have seen movies. Not that my mum would ever drive me to college.
I clicked a random button on the car keys and one of the car beeped. That must have indicated that the car was out of lock.Within second i found myself inside the car with the engine started. Looking around to figure out what to do had me going nuts.
"Get out of the car Elayne!" His voice echoed. I looked up and there he was right in front of the car. It had a thousand horses galloping on my heart. My breathing escalated. The car was being suffocating with every exhale.
Why did he have to come back now!?
"I said get out of there... NOW!!" His face scrunched up in anger. There was no way i was going let myself get taken again. I needed to get out of there now. My hands gripped tightly on the wheel with all efforts. and without thinking twice my leg stamped on any pedal it came in contact with.
My eyes glued shut as the movement of the car whizzed me with it.
BANG!!!
God knows how i did it but as soon as i felt and heard that loud thud, the car came to a stop. The silence evacuated all my courage to escape. No movement came from behind me and he wasnt in front of the car anymore either. I clasped my mouth as i exhaled in shock.
What have i done?
I looked at myself in the front mirror and my deep red eyes filled with tears. I opened the door slowly hoping that i have not just become a murderer.
He wasn't moving. He wasnt moving at all.
Infact a river of blood was flowing down from his forehead to the tarmac floor. I ran towards him and knelt beside him whilst letting my tears finally flow.
"I'm sorry .. I-I'm sorry... I didnt mean to, I Just... I'm sorry." I cried as I shook his slumped up body praying for him to react to it.
"Please just wake up... Im scared just wake up" The panic continuously grew and the walls began to tighten in my heart.
I had to snap out of it and try and save this man's life. If he died, then he would deffinitely become the victim and i the murderer. The papers i signed was already evident enough.
"Okay Elayne... You can do this". I said a loud to myself. I checked his breathing, and there was none at all. his heart beat wasnt steady. He was about to die. The first thing i thought about was looking for a phone to call an ambulance. At that moment it didnt matter if i got blamed for the accident, as long as he survived. I wasnt really surprised by not finding a phone. Bad luck was following me everywhere.
CPR. i had to do something to save him. I thanked God that on my last day of college, the school organised a red cross event. I kind of had an idea of how to operate CPR. I pushed back the thought of him being the person that kidnapped me and him being the person who tried to rape me a couple of hours ago. It was dark but the light that emitted from the car was just enough for me to see.
I interlocked my fingers with a front to back motion and counted to 7 as i pressed on his chest. I took a deep breath and gave him mouth to mouth. Repeating myself again I pressed his chest 7 times and then took a deep breath and approached him to give him mouth to mouth again. What happened next was something that left me flabbergasted, Confused and infuriated.
His hand grabbed the back of my head and pulled me closer to him as he desperately clung on to my lips with his. Leaving no time for me to react to his move, he grabbed my waist with his other hand and pulled me even closer. My screams were left no chance to come out as the insane psychotic demon kept caressing my lips with his.
What the actual Fuck!!!
