Chapter 13 - Is it wrong to take care of a psychopath after escaping?

I just sat there waiting for anything to happen but its been hours now and Mary doesn't even come down here, just what the hell is going to happen to me?

I couldn't actually stand inside this cage but I budge my face on between two bars of the cage to look closely on how far the door is but I realize that my main problem at the moment is the cage and if whether this necklace can inject poison or anything but I highly doubt It can. I just sat back sitting on an Indian position and look up wondering how my sister is doing; and I remember, why should I care for her?

"FUCK!"

A clanging sound just got my attention and it seems to be coming from the direction Mary left, Is she going to torture me again? If she is in what way is she going to do it? Its Mary, she is coming towards me but she looks pale. She is wearing a lab coat and the same gloves from before. She is now in front of me about to open the cage but she dropped down the ground.

I tried tapping her toes to see if she is unconscious and I don't know why but I felt the urge to check if she is alright. I pulled her by the legs to grab the keys to my cage and open it. It isn't as hard as I thought but I really wish she'd be thankful for what I am about to do.

I checked her temperature and she seems to be having a high fever, To be honest I actually don't know what I am doing. I carried her in a bridal way and walk carefully upstairs through the door she left open. If she is this sick, then why go down just to torture me?

I looked for a bed on every room and luckily I found one on the first try; And now its time to use my remaining stock knowledge on how to take care of a sick lady. I was about to go out of the room but I stumbled upon her laptop.

It is opened in an unusual browser with what its looks like a sensitive information. It shows an article about a group of young people being used to temporarily act as detectives.

The article says that

"On the past three days, we have managed to collect this very little information about the project P.D. in which we discovered that it is super secret that only a few people know their existence. It is believed that they are using kids who are thought to be outcast, flawed, problematic by society. We found a three kids who are rumored to be participating in this project, First is Victor Caine the son of the owner of the second biggest conglomerate in the world, Second is Jesse Malberg the daughter of the enemy company of Caine enterprises, Lastly is a 15 years old kid named Nash Morton, this kid doesn't have that much background except that he doesn't have a good time going to school and his parents died back when he was ten.

For additional information, we discovered that they are recruiting kids 6 to 15 years old; it is not knows what might happen to this kids after being used by the government."

"That's sick and cool at the same..."

I thought of the article as a joke but knowing that the unconscious girl on the bed is a psychopath, I managed to changed my mind.

I went to her kitchen and start boiling water and while waiting for it to boil, I also looked for a white cloth. I manage to find one and starts folding it in half lengthwise. The kettle is now whistling and I rushed to turn the stove off. I poured the hot water on a basin with cold water in it, I also put the white cloth in so that it'll be on a proper temperature.

"Christ, I don't even know if what I am doing is correct." I muttered

I brought the basin inside the room and put the cloth in Mary's forehead to help bring down her fever.

For a minute I thought of escaping but something kicks in on my head saying that it would be rude to leave a lady alone while she is having a fever so that's what I decided to do, I decided to stay in here until she gets better.

I know I sound stupid staying beside a girl who just tortured me but I also don't understand myself on why am I doing this. I am scared that she'll torture me again but at the same time I wish she will.

I looked for food in the kitchen but all of the food in here needs to be cooked, Just why the hell does she cook on her own?! I started cooking spicy chicken necks in the frying pan and finished in 10 minutes, I know that I just got tortured but I really don't like veggies they're like my kryptonite.

I went to her living room with the chicken necks I just cooked and start eating while watching streamers play horror games.

This streamer seems to like gore but I don't think she'll be able to handle Mary's torture. I just smirked every time she gets shocked but I still enjoy the show. I finished my meal realizing that I didn't cooked a food for Mary; So I get back to kitchen and cook some food again.

I went back to the room a left her with the plate of sausages in my hand. I saw her sitting on the bed playing with the cloth I left in her forehead.

"So why didn't you leave?" Mary asked

"I just thought that leaving a sick lady would be rude." I replied

"So young but can act like a gentlemen, I like it."

"Like what?"

"Nothing."

"Here's your food."
