'Hello, anyone there?' I asked.
The room was too dark to see anything and suddenly a voice replied,
'Yeah, was waiting for you.' It was a guy's voice.
His voice echoed in the room and it made me shiver. From the glimpse that I had got before Dr Ray closed the door, I knew that after about twenty steps straight in the centre of the room there is a bed. I started walking carefully cause someone was already here. And I didn't have the slightest idea where the hell he was standing.
I walked some steps when someone said,
'Are you too brave or too dumb?' The voice came just behind me.
I stopped walking and stood straight, frozen at a single place. I could hear him breathing just behind me. I was deliberately getting scared of whoever this man was.
'Well, I guess you're dumb.' He said but this time from another corner of the room in left.
I turned around my head in the direction of which the voice arrived but, I could see darkness only. I moved some more steps when he again said,
'Nope, you are too brave!' This time the voice came from just another corner of the room on the right.
it was like he was everywhere, why was I getting so scared of him now. My hands were shaking but still, I took some steps forward and my leg hit something like a steel rod. I knew it was a bed so, I moved some steps further. It was a bit suspicious and strange that the guy in the room was quiet for some reason now. I stretched out my hand to confirm if it was a bed or not. And when my hand touched a fluffy ground I understood that it was a bed. I quietly sat there.
'Now I get it, who are you!' Said someone again. It was the same voice but this time it appeared from right next to me.
I jumped out a bit being surprised or I should say being scared. He was right next to me.
I gathered up all the courage of mine and said,
'Wh...what?' But it turned out to be a squeaked voice.
'You're too dumb but try to act too brave.' He said.
I clutched the bedsheet in anger. I am not dumb and he was irritating me cause in this whole world what I hate the most is being called dumb. But I also knew that his state of mind was unsettled and he was a psycho. I know how to handle them.
'Why you think so?' I almost whispered without looking in that direction.
'Cause if I were you I wouldn't have ever entered this room.' He replied.
'Why..... this room is so dark?' I asked for being a bit hesitant, cause after all he was a psychopath.
'Hmm, you are trying to act familiar now. Like others?' He said and shifted a bit more towards me.
Now I could hear him breathing again,
'You. Are. Really. A dumb.' he said and I felt so triggered.
I could feel my whole body being heated up by my anger which was rising every passing second.
'What do you think, you can lure?' He said after a while, he was standing somewhere else now.
Why can't he stand in one place? It was making me angry. Can't I find a source of light? I thought and suddenly my phone rang.
Oh, yeah flashlight! I thought. I took out my phone, it was from mom.
I looked around and he scoffed,
'Go ahead.'
'He is not psycho is he?' I murmured and picked up the phone.
As soon as I received the phone mom cried out,
'Mom! You're okay? What happened?' I asked being worried.
'Sa...Sarah.' She whispered.
'What happened to her?' I asked and my voice echoed in the room.
'She woke up.' Mom whispered while crying.
My eyes got filled and I was stunned. I stood up. Sarah was alright, now I don't have any reason to stay here anymore I am going. I went towards the door to open it up.
'I'm coming there to meet Sarah. Wait for me.' I said and pulled the door. But it didn't open.
'What the...'
'Sarah?' He scoffed.
I turned around to see darkness.
'She's been paying for her mistakes.' he said further.
'Wh...what mistakes? And why would she pay?' I asked and moved a bit forward.
It felt that he was standing just in front of me but far away straight.
'She ruined my date sh...she had to.' He whispered.
Now he sounded like a psychopath to me, a psychopath who was a bit angry. I flashed the flashlight on his face and he blocked the light with his palms.
'What do you mean?' I asked him to clarify.
He lowered down his hands and looked me in the eyes. His eyes had now no effect of this illumination coming from my phone. I was shocked.
I could see his face now, he looked innocent, but all those scars on his face, neck, and hands made him look scary.
'It's nice since she suffered the pain all these days.' He said further.
'What do you mean. Say it clearly for God's sake!!' I shouted.
'What do you think she fell from the staircase on her own.' He said and laughed.
As soon as he laughed my anger went on a high level, he was the one who made Sarah hospitalized. How could he laugh right now?
I ran towards him,
'You bastard how could you do that.' I yelled.
He was looking at me with great anger now, I ran to him and punched on the nose. I practised some boxing in my college days and won some awards too, I was happy that I was able to use my skill for Sarah.
After I punched him he stepped back a bit and his nose started bleeding. I grabbed his collar and pushed him towards the wall behind him. I still had my flashlight on. Though it got covered in my fist when I held his collar, still a pencil of ray enlightened his eyes which looked a bit irritated.
'How could you do that, you psychopath!!' I screamed.
Suddenly he got more furious he grabbed my throat and laid me in the bed. I was running out of breath, I held his arms and pushed it away to get rid of his grip. I could now hear people crowding outside, just to see if I am alive or not. A tear rolled down my left eye.
'I. Am Not, a psychopath.' He whispered.
Finally, I started losing consciousness and my hands fell on the bed with the flash of my phone lightening my face. I tried to keep my eyes open but, after a minute nothing worked. At last, I saw him looking at me with teary eyes, and his grip gradually loosened up. I remember myself being lifted by someone in two arms and my eyes closed when I saw a bright light in the atmosphere...
