The Neighbor
Chapter 8: Easy Or Hard way
A girl jumps out and grabs her. It was Kristine Conner. She forces herself out of the trunk, making it fall to the floor
Angel: Kristine?!
Kristine: Help me... please help me!
Angel is in shock as she's forced against a drawer, knocking things down. They hear footsteps rushing to the door. Angel gets away from Kristine
Kristine: No don't leave!
Angel: I will help you I promise just don't let him know I'm here
She sees a closet and goes in it. She closes it but there's a gap to where she can see what's going on. Kristine sees a window and runs over to it. She tries opening it but it's barricaded. Ethan runs down the stares and sees her
Ethan: Kristine
She looks at him
Ethan: What do you think you're doing?
He takes a step, she quickly runs to the corner of the wall
Kristine: Stay the fuck away from me you fucking pyscho!
He laughs
Ethan: I have a guest upstairs and your making a lot of noise down here. Might have to make some new adjustments
Kristine: Just let me go Greg please
Ethan: I can't do that
She starts screaming for help. He runs over to her and grabs her. She starts kicking and punching at him still screaming. He's able to wrap his arm around both her arms while covering her mouth and brings her to the trunk. He sees it on the ground
Ethan: Damnit
She struggles to get free while screaming still. He lets her arms go while grabbing her head and hits it against a wall, knocking her out. He picks the trunk up and puts it back where it was then goes over to the drawer and grabs tape. He tapes her hands behind her back then her legs. He goes to a small freezer next to the closet, takes out a jug of water,goes over to her, and starts pouring it on her face. She wakes up coughing. He sets the water on the drawer then takes out pliers and a cutting knife
Kristine: What the fuck? What the fuck!!
Ethan gets on her
Ethan: Open wide for daddy
He uses the pliers to grab her tongue. Angel covers her mouth as she watches. He begins cutting her tongue as she starts screaming. Angel closes her eyes but can hear everything so she slowly covers her ears and starts tearing up. He rips her tongue out and sets it next to her. He gets a first aid kit from the drawer and starts stitching her up. Once he's done he picks her up and puts her back in the trunk and locks it. Angel opens her eyes and watches again but covers her mouth. He grabs the tongue and puts it on the dresser then runs upstairs, closing and locking the door. Angel gets out of the closet and walks over to the trunk still in shock. She unlocks it again and opens it slowly. Kristine looks at her in tears
Angel: I'm so sorry
She grabs and lifts her up. Kristine starts freaking out. Angel turns and sees Ethan standing there. Kristine hides back in the trunk. Angel backs away until she hits the wall shaking in fear. Ethan notices the closet door opened, looks at the trunk, then at Angel
Ethan: I told you this was off limits
Angel: I know...I should have listened
Ethan: I can't let you leave now. Not after what and who you saw
Angel: I trusted you...
Ethan: I trusted you to but you broke that trust by coming down here
Angel: please
Ethan: Don't beg, it wont work. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice
Angel: What's the easy way?
Ethan smiles
