My Tormentor

“Put the gun down. You don’t even know how to hold that thing!”

“No, I won’t. I am going to kill you today.”

“Oh, really what would you do after that??? You know that you are going to die here after a few days. Without me, you won’t survive, not even for a few days.

He was just trying to scare her but she had been over this. The brutal torture every night. This giant house was no less than a cage for her. She had been allowed to do anything but had no connection with the outside world. How long she had been there??? She even has forgotten the counting. She decided to kill the monster once and for all. She was trembling while holding the gun. She had never held once before.

She was scared and afraid and who better than the guy on the other side of the gun knew that??? He tried to calm her down. He was going to tell her the truth about everything but something else was written in his faith. He was the villain of her story and he had to pretend like one.

“Give me the keys. I am leaving your hell right now.”

“Trust me babe that’s a bad idea.’’

‘’Do you still think you can scare me??? I am the one with the gun now. I am not going to ask again. Just give me the keys now.’’

She pulled the trigger and he stopped. He was staring at her and thinking of the possibilities of his survival even after being shot from such a close distance. After speculating about the consequences he decided to move. Although the survival chances were very low from being shot such a close range. He still wanted to try. He had a little hope that she didn’t hate him that much. She once loved him so much how could she let him die? She can’t hate him that much.

She was shivering and even in that cold, she was sweating. He started walking towards her.

“I told you to stay away from me. Just stay there and give me the keys.”

“I am not gonna give you the keys. Do whatever you want to do.”

He was ready to take all the chances even if it involved him getting killed by the love of his life. He was back again in his beast mode.

“You think I am joking??? I will shoot you. Just stay there.”

“Give me the gun babe. Give it back to me. You can’t kill me. We both know that.”

She realized that her warning wasn’t affecting him. She had seen him being a monster and she knew how would he treat her after getting the gun again. She decided to play the card in reverse although she was scared as hell.

“Stop there or”

He was getting close to her with every step.

“Stop there or I would shoot myself.”

“Don’t be stupid. Give me the gun.”

Although that thought shivered his body and his heart started racing. How could he let her do that?

“I am not joking. If you get any closer. I am going to shoot myself.”

Saying that she pointed the gun at her head.

That’s when he realized, it wasn’t as simple as he thought. She could kill herself and he had no one left in the world. How could he let her do that?
