"I need to speak to you about something.

Meet me in class 2-1 after school"

I step into the room. It's pitch black apart from a candle on the teacher's desk.

"Hello?"

I sit down at one of the desks.

And the candle goes out.

"So..."

My body freezes.

"You actually came..."

"I did. I knew it was your handwriting on the note."

"The writing was in red, wasn't it?"

I nod even though I don't think the person can see me.

"Didn't you wonder what it was written in?"

"Red pen?" I question.

There's a moment of silence.

"Blood."

I shiver.

"Why are you like this?"

The candle flickers back to life and I spot a figure sitting on top of the desk in front of mine.

"Because of you."

They hop off of the desk and turn to face me.

Head to toe.

They're covered in blood.

I step back in shock.

"Are you okay?! Where's all that blood coming from?!"

He smirks, running his hand along his mouth.

But it's not just his hand.

A glint of metal sparkles, clenched in his fist.

A knife.

"I never said it was my blood, did I."

I gulp as he stands extremely close, our noses almost touching.

"Why?" I ask quietly.

"You."

"How? How is it me that's made you this way?"

"You make me jealous. And then there's no other place for those people you flirt with."

"Other place? Where do they go?"

He rolls his eyes.

"Kai... Tell me where they go."

"You really are stupid, aren't you!"

His hand moves quickly and the knife runs along my thumb.

"Where do you think they go?"

Without a warning, the knife slices through my thumb. I hear it fall to the floor and the steady drip of blood follows.

"SHIT!" I yell, moving to grab onto my wound to try and soothe the pain.

"Don't move." He says sternly. "Or it'll happen again."

I take deep breaths, stuck in my position.

"They don't go anywhere. They die."

I take an even deeper breath.

"Kai..."

The blood dripping from my thumb creates a steady pulse for me to concentrate on.

"Yes?"

I feel the knife rest against my forefinger.

"Why..." I whisper for the third time.

"You, my baby girl."

His free hand moves to my chin and forces my head up. Staring into my eyes, he smirks.

"You should be asking yourself that question, you know."

My forefinger falls to the floor. I shut my eyes tight and cry out in pain.

"You're a monster!" I yell, tears falling from my eyes.

"Your middle finger looks nice..."

"FUCK!"

"You shouldn't swear, my princess."

I hate the nicknames

I hate them

I hate what he's become

"You weren't always like this. You used to be so sweet and loving. Now you're just-"

slice

"Oh, princess. I'm still loving, just more than you can understand. And I was never sweet, you created that image of me in your head. And be careful, you'll lose your whole hand in a minute."

I bite his hand that's under my chin and try to run away but he catches me.

"Naughty!" He exclaims, chopping off the rest of the fingers on my right hand. "That was bad..."

I fall to the floor and cry out again.

"Whoops, I said don't move. That's your hand then."

chop

"KAI, JUST STOP!"

"Oh, my baby girl." He hisses. "It's too late now to stop."

He kneels down next to me and stares into my eyes again.

"If I kill you, you'll be mine..."

I gulp.

"Right? And no one can take you then."

"I'm yours anyway!" I yell, tears falling heavily now.

"That's what you think. But there's so many other guys after you... I just can't have that."

He reaches into his pocket.

"Open your mouth, princess."

I do as I'm told, scared for the rest of my body parts. He puts something into my mouth.

"A gun..." I mumble against it. He chuckles, putting his finger on the trigger.

"You'll be mine, won't you?"

I cry even more, eyes shut again.

"Good girl."

He shuffles forward and plants a kiss on my forehead.

"I love you, my princess."

"There is still no sign of the missing girl, after these five years. But we will continue searching-"

I switch off the TV and sigh.

"You won't find her." I say, getting out my gun and shooting the TV screen right in the centre. I look at the gun for a while, scanning it.

"She's been gone for too long."

I swing the gun in one hand.

"Shot her. With this gun!"

I shoot the wall three times, causing rubble to fall onto the floor.

"She's all mine though, that's what matters."

"Imagine her now."

"You're not supposed to be like this!'"

bang

"'Why do you do this?!'"

bang

"I'm hopeless without you, don't do this to me!'"

bang

"Hopeless, hopeless, hopeless. That's all she was."

My mind flashes back to the pile of dead bodies in the school yard.

"All that I did for her... And she rejected me 24/7 in return."
