Chapter 11
Willow
Ashiver runs up my spine as I step into what was once the reception for the hospital. It’s warm and smells of stale alcohol, smoke and sweat. The owners have decorated and kitted it to look like a creepy hospital waiting room. Music plays in the background. A high-pitched voice sings to a ukulele about dancing through a field of flowers. I recognise the song, but it’s played slower and slightly off-key, making it eerie as fuck. A curved desk sits up ahead with a mannequin of a female nurse sitting there, filling out forms. Behind her, a massive portrait of a stern-looking man in an old-fashioned suit looks down his nose at the room. A light flickers, and the windows have been made to look like a thunderstorm is going on outside.
Sitting on the chairs are more mannequins. A respectable couple fills out paperwork as a young girl sits in the corner with her head in her hands. When I walk closer, her head shoots up and she screams in my face before burying her head in her arms once more.
I jump and let out a nervous laugh. It's an animatronic. Nothing more.
Through the speakers, a distant scream carries through the air, meant to hint at the suffering of those further inside the building.
This is just the start of the ride.
I know I need to go deeper.
A couple rush past me, hand in hand as they walk through a curved oak door. Each side has two stone angels. Their great wings furled around their bodies. Their hands clasped as if in prayer. They look down at the ground, a profound sadness on their faces.
The door slams shut behind them.
I follow. It’s either that or leave, and no way I return to Lust and Pain empty-handed.
I’m assuming Kai is here, as he is the third of the Brotherhood.
From what I heard in whispers through cracks in the door, he worked at a Halloween fair last year. The same year, a woman went missing. She was found tortured to death three weeks later. Her body was covered in rat bites.
She had a massive phobia of rats.
The year before, another woman was taken from a Halloween festival. She was found two days later, drowned in a swimming pool.
She had a fear of water.
But that’s what he does. What they all do.
Tyler worshipped Lust. He would always make me cum.
Nate worshipped Pain. My scars are a testimony to how much he loved his worship.
And Kai… I think I know who he worships. Who resides in me still.
He’s the one who frightens me most because of all three, I know he is the one who wants to kill me. Every time he forced hiscock down my throat, he would happily leave it there until I died. When he chokes me, he longs to see the life leave my eyes.
His cock hardens as I cower. His mouth dries as I tremble.
Of all three, this is the demon I fear most.
But that’s the whole point, isn’t it?
The door of the asylum slams shut behind me, followed by a loud click.
Sure enough, when I try to push it open again, the door doesn’t budge. The sound of more thrill seekers attempting to push open the door from the other side tells me it has been locked both ways. I shove it hard. They rattle the handle.
Stepping back, I let out a breath.
‘Shit,’ I whisper.
Yep. I’m trapped.
I know, deep down, that the door has been locked forme. Keepingmeinside.
