The Neighbor

Chapter 14: Obey The Rules

Ethan finishes eating. He takes everyone's plates. Angel and Brian had eaten the food but Sarah didn't even touch hers

Ethan: Sarah; why haven't you eaten?

She glares at him

Ethan: I asked you a question

She spits at him. He wipes his face

Ethan: Someone needs a time out

He unties her other hand then forces her up. She starts pulling away. He force pulls her making her fall so he grabs her by the hair and starts dragging her as she screams in pain and cusses at him. He opens the door to the basement and throws her down the stairs

Angel: Sarah!

Ethan looks at Angel

Ethan: Quiet Angel

Angel: She's just scared leave her alone

Ethan looks at Sarah whose on the floor in pain then closes the door. He walks over to Angel and gets in her face

Ethan: She's scared huh? Are you scared Angel?

Angel: Yeah

Ethan: Why? You've been behaving so you have nothing to worry about

Angel: You're hurting my best friend

Ethan: She's doing it to herself. All she has to do is cooperate

He strokes her face then walks away and goes to the basement door

Ethan: Everyone better be at the same place when I come back

He goes in and closes the door. Brian looks at Angel and grabs her hand. She looks at him

Brian: Did that bastard hurt you at all?

She shakes her head

Brian: I can't believe he kidnapped you

She looks down then looks at Kristine

Angel: Kristine

She looks at her

Angel: He said he met alot of girls; do you know what happened to them?

She nods then uses her untied hand to slide it across her neck

Brian: Oh my god

Angel: He's going to kill all of us

She shakes her head then uses her finger to "write" on the table

Angel: Obey

She keeps going

Angel: Rules

Next thing they know they hear Sarah screaming from the basement really loud like a blood curdling scream

They all look at each other. The screams get louder. Angel starts shaking. Brian holds her hand tighter. The screams finally stop. It's a moment of silence until the door opens. Ethan comes out covered in blood as he closes the door

Angel: Oh my god!!

Ethan: I didn't kill her relax!

He goes over to the kitchen sink and starts washing his hands. Angel starts crying. Ethan hits the sink and walks over to her

Ethan: I said relax

Angel: What did you do to her? What the fuck did you do?!

He grabs her face

Ethan: Calm yourself

He unties her other hand and grabs it

Ethan: I'll show you

He takes her to the basement, then to the trunk and opens it

Ethan: See for yourself

She can hear Sarah crying. Angel looks inside

Angel: Sarah

Sarah sticks her head out

Sarah: Angel?

Angel sees that Sarah's eyes were gone. She covers her mouth in shock

Sarah: Angel? Where are you?

Ethan: Get back in there

Ethan puts her head back in and closes the trunk. Sarah starts banging on the trunk while yelling

Ethan: See she's still alive

He grabs her hand and takes her back upstairs
