As he said this, his face was slowly warping and turning more and more evil.
"What the fuck do you think you are huh?, some sort of genius I bet. You were probably proud of yourself and your achievements right?...but yknow, none of that matters anymore. Now I can play with you however I want because there aren't any rules to stop me anymore. I can do whatever the fuck I want HAHAHAHA!!!!"
He seemed to have gone crazy but the hand holding the knife to Sandra's throat never shook or faltered, so i knew he was still very much sane.
"What do you want David?, Let them go and let's sort this out" I said trying to calm the maniac down.
As much as I'd love to smash his face to bits, I wasn't fast enough yet to get to him before he plunged the blade into their necks. The main question on my mind right now, was how he'd captured them."
6 MINUTES AGO
SANDRA POV
After the guys left, Abdul and I were left at home. It was weird to say, but without Zaheer planning our activities, things felt out of place. I guess I'd gotten used to the order he brought.
Abdul was working out while playing some music on a low volume with his Bluetooth speaker. It could turn off at any moment since it's been a few days since the lights went Off and they hadn't come back on ever since.
He seemed to like classical music and he'd told us this particular piece was by someone called Pachelbel or something like that.
It was a beautiful calming melody and for a few minutes I almost forgot how fucked the world had become while I cooked our lunch. We had a timetable deciding who cooked when, including the guys for maximum equality, Zaheer was trying his best to be a good and fair leader but to be honest I'd prefer if he left it to us girls. Aside from Toyin, who had some degree of skill, both Zaheer and Abdul were terrible cooks, ~but don't tell them that Coz it would hurt their feelings~.
When I was almost done with the meal, There was a low knock on the door, getting our attention, it wasn't the knock we'd agreed on with the otherz, so we instantly became cautious.
Abdul went to check through the peephole, but a few seconds later just swayed and started going open the door. Confused at his action, I asked him
"Hey what are you doing?, That wasn't the knock we decided on meaning it's not Zaheer and the others" but he acted like he didn't even hear me. He'd opened the first of 2 locks before I reacted.
Realizing something was wrong, I leaped at him and tackled him to the ground, trying to snap him out of it. I wanted to just shake him around and try to wake him up from the trance he was in, but surprising me, he instead put me in a chokehold with quick moves.
Shocked, I didn't react fast enough to counter him and the last thing I thought before losing consciousness was why exactly he was doing this.
BACK TO THE CURRENT SITUATION
SANDRA POV
Waking up, i felt my limbs tied up, so i opened my eyes and saw the situation I was in. Weirdly enough, Abdul was also tied up right next to me. Trying not to panic I kept quiet and observed my surroundings.
In the darkness there were about, 3 guys with clubs.
I shut my eyes immediately so not to let these people know I was awake.
I was wondering why they were hidden there, until I heard the familiar voice of Zaheer.
"David??" he said.
ZAHEER POV
The moment I entered here I sensed the few people in the shadows.
They had expressionless faces and had wooden clubs in their hands.
Turning my attention back to David, I noticed he'd stopped monologuing.
"Now, drop that weapon and get on your stomach, otherwise I'll slice her throat really slow so you can hear her dying screams."
He had a deranged look on his face so I wasn't keen to check if he was bluffing or not. I already had a plan but I needed to get close enough to him to make it work.
The moment I got on my back, he made a slight hand movement and the 3 people rushed at me with weird jerky movements.
I'd noticed that he seemed to control them like a puppeteer but without any finesse.
Rushing at me, they started hitting me with their clubs whilst kicking and stomping me. Basically they were trying to injure me in any possible way.
It hurt like a bitch, and I made sounds like I was getting hurt really badly.
"Whack-~ugh~-stomp-stomp-~g-uh~" I made all the proper sound effects.
When he was satisfied with the beat Down, he controlled his puppets to drag me up and over.
When we were in front of him he grabbed my face and started laughing quietly
"You probably never thought this would happen did you?, You with your arrogant ways always felt like you were something special, but now you're mine to play with however I want." The Way he licked his lips while saying this was extremely disgusting.
Slowly i looked up at him before smiling. Before he could register what my smile meant, I reached up and broke the arms of the two puppets holding me.
With my arms free, I broke their necks in one quick motion and they slumped slowly, and fell to the floor.
While all this was happening, David just standing there, shocked at the feat he was witnessing.
When he came to, he screamed before backing away from me as quickly as he could.
"wh-what the hell??!!!!!!!!, h-how?? "
His face had turned into a mask of fear and shock.
"Did you really think you were the only one who got an ability huh, you fucker??" I said while smiling derisively.
He realized that he couldn't beat me so he tried running to get his hostages back, but when he turned around, there was no one there.
He slowly turned to me with a face that looked like he was about to cry
"p-please Zaheer, please s-spare me, I'm sorry for everything, please don't kill me! " he begged
I had no plans of killing him though. I'm sure there were two people who would like to do it instead.
