The Neighbor

Ms. Childs hears voices calling her so she wakes up. She's at Ethan's place. Both her hands are taped to the chair.
She starts tugging at it

Brian: Ms. Childs

She sees him then Angel and Sarah. She wants to call out to them but her mouth was taped. Ethan's across the table from her eating

Ethan: Going to school on a Saturday? Not good at lies; are you? If there's one thing I hate it's liars, right kids?

They all nod

Ethan: Oh yeah these are my kids I was talking about. You remember Brian and Sarah?

She looks at Brian who was sitting by her left side then at Sarah who was on her right

Ethan: Oh yeah and Angel was right here this whole time; isn't that a coincidence?

Angel was sitting next to Ethan. He starts rubbing her head. They're all staring at Ms Childs

Ethan: It's not nice to stare children, eat

They all start eating. Ethan finishes then puts his plate in the sink. Ms. Childs purse was on the counter so he goes over and starts looking through it. Angel starts to get nervous, her hand begins to shake as she eats

Ethan: What's in here that made you want to leave so bad? I saw you put something in it

Angel looks at Ms. Childs. The way she looks back tells Angel the earring is in there. He finds it then laughs

Ethan: Oh Angel

He turns around and shows it to her

Ethan: Now I know it was really you this time; right?

She stares at him, too scared to talk

Ethan: Angel answer me and for the love of god, don't lie to me once more. This is yours right?

She nods. He slams the earring on the table, unties her hand, and forcefully pulls her up. She pulls away but he grabs and picks her up then starts taking her to the basement, she starts screaming

Ethan: I'm going to have to show you what happens to those who want to leave so badly

Brian and Sarah start yelling out her name as Ethan opens the door and throws her in. She falls down the stairs and hits the floor. Ethan closes the door then tapes down Brian and Sarah's other hand then untapes Ms. Childs mouth

Ethan: Sit tightly everyone, talk to each other, and learn that you will never leave me

He goes into the basement

Ms. Childs: What's he going to do to her?

Sarah: Something very bad

Downstairs...

He sees Angel by the closet, she was messing with the coded door

Ethan: Why do you want to leave me Angel?

She stops what she's doing

Ethan: Why do you want to run so badly?

She glares at him then looks back at the door

Ethan: Angel

She punches in a number and it unlocks. She's shocked then looks at him

Angel: It's the date of my parents accident

Ethan: I'm warning you. If you open the door you'll regret it

Angel: Fuck you

She opens it only to be welcomed by a brick wall

Angel: What?

Ethan: Do you really think I'm that stupid? I put that there on purpose to get everyone's hopes up

Angel: No

Ethan: And to think you were on your way out of here. There's only one way out now

Angel gets up and looks at him

Angel: Why was the code the day ofy parents accident?

Ethan: Angel come on now. I know Sarah told you, she never keeps her big mouth shut

Angel: I don't know what you're...

Ethan: Oh cut the bullshit Angel. You're not good of a liar if you haven't noticed

Angel: So what now? Are you going to kill me like you did to my parents?

Ethan: So she did tell you? I was just fucking around

She swallows hard knowing what she did

Ethan: I'll deal with her later but right now I have to deal with you. To answer your question. No of course not

Angel: It's my third punishment though

Ethan: That's very true

He starts to walk over but she quickly moves to the other side of the room behind the trunk

Ethan: But you have something that's too valuable to me

Angel: And what's that?

Ethan: A child dear

Angel laughs

Angel: What are you talking about?

Ethan: Oh I think you know when you and Brian earlier

Angel: You're full of shit. He didn't...

Ethan: Didn't what?

Angel: Nothing

Ethan: Oh I see... We'll just have to try again then

Angel: Oh my god you're serious? You want me to have a baby? Why?

Ethan rolls his eyes

Ethan: You know exactly why

Angel: No! No! No! Fuck that!

Ethan: I'm sorry Angel but it has to be you. Would you rather have Brian fuck Sarah? Maybe even Ms. Childs?

Angel: You are fucking crazy!

He smiles

Ethan: What goes around in my crazy head? Where do I come up with these crazy things? I'm not crazy! I'm fucking sane

Angel: So then what the fuck are you going to do to me then?!

He starts laughing maniacally

Ethan: Come here I'll show you

Angel: Fuck that

Ethan: No? Ok then I'll just go over to you then

He kicks the trunk, knocking it over to her. It opens and Kristine's remains come out including her head. Angel screams in shock. Ethan starts to head over. Angel runs but slips on the blood

Ethan: Whoops! Clumsy Angel that looked like it hurt. Let me help you

He grabs her leg and drags her to the pole and chains her arms but then grabs longer chains and chains her ankles to the stairs. She's lying flat on the floor

Angel: Please I won't do it again!

He sighs

Ethan: I gave you so many chances Angel but this was the last straw

He goes over to the drawer

Ethan: I really didn't want it to come to this

He takes out a hatchet. Angel starts freaking out

Ethan: After this experience you will never do anything foolish again

Angel: Dad please don't I'm sorry

She starts crying while tugging at the chains

Ethan: Run run run as fast as you can

He walks over to her legs and rubs the hatchet against them

Angel: Please! Don't!

Ethan: You can't catch me

He lifts the hatchet

Ethan: I'm the motherfucking gingerbread man!

She screams no

Ethan: Scream for mercy baby!

Upstairs...

They hear Angel screaming. Brian starts tugging at the chair

Brian: What the fuck are you doing to her!

The screams get louder. He starts making the chair jump

Brian: Fuck! Fuck!

Sarah: I knew she was going to get caught goddamnit. Why did she do that?

She starts crying

Ms. Childs: It's my fault I should have called the cops when I was in the car. Oh god Angel I'm sorry. I'm so sorry

The screaming goes for ten minutes straight then stops

Sarah: He killed her! Oh my god he fucking killed her!

Brian: No he didn't fucking kill her Sarah! How could you fucking say that?!

Sarah: Were you not listening! She's dead!

Ms. Childs: Guys stop!

Brian: You don't know what he does down there. He took Sarah's eyes. He took this girl's tongue off. He made us watch as he tore off her fingers, then he killed her in front of us at this table and made us watch as he tore her limb from limb

His eyes tear up

Ms. Childs: He did that? He made you watch? Oh god

The door opens. They all quickly look. Ethan comes out covered in blood. Both Brian and Ms. Childs mouths drop.

Brian: You killed her! You actually killed her!

Sarah: I knew it

She starts crying

Ethan: No

Sarah: What do you mean no?

He had pulled Angel halfway up by the back of her shirt and drops her on the floor. She was pale and her eyes were in tears

Brian: Angel

Ethan: Go on, show them. Run.

She just lies there and glares at him

Ethan: Come on you can do it, run to the table

She picks herself halfway up and starts crawling, revealing that her legs were gone

Ms. Childs: Oh my god!

Brian yells and starts tugging at the tape again

Sarah: What the fuck is happening!

Ethan: I'll tell you what's happening. Angel is "running" to the table

Sarah: I don't hear her running

Ethan: Oh wait I forgot you can't run without legs

Sarah: What?

Angel: He cut my fucking legs off!

Ethan laughs as Angel begins to cry, seeing Brian and Ms. Childs staring at her. She drops to the floor

Angel: Sarah he knows. I'm sorry

Ethan: Aww boo hoo. Well dinners ruined, time for bed. Today was one hell of a day
