Chapter 5 - Inner turmoil

"Ren! Ren! Ren! Please don't kill me, I'm sorry for the way I treated you I promise I'll never do it again! Just please don't kill me!." With a face fool of snort and tears, Joan screamed out.

When she saw the 'graphic' scene, she couldn't help but wet herself. Now there wasn't a doubt in her mind or cell in her body that believe Ren wouldn't kill her.

Ren quietly walked up to her with the knife in hand and placed it on her neck. "Why should I let you go?" he asked, his voice calm and slow.

"I won't do it again and I've learnt my lesson, I'm so sorry just please don't kill me.!" She screamed out.

"You being loud and it's annoying me." Ren looked at her with annoyance. "Give me one good reason why I should let you go?" Ren asked.

"Because I've learnt my lesson and I won't do it again." She repeated.

"I heard you the first time and that's not a good reason as to why I should let you go. So what if you've learnt your lesson, am I suppose to thank you! Che " Ren said as he placed his hand around her neck and slammed her on the floor!

"See, you don't have a reason. Now, I want you to enjoy yourself." Ren sat on top of her chest and smacked her across the face.

*Pa* *Pa* *Pa*

The slap reverberated in the the kitchen. Ren threw a few more slaps onto her face until his hand and Joan's face was covered in blood. It wasn't clear who the blood belonged to.

"Ahhh", Joan kept screaming the entire time but, Ren didn't let up and just slapped hard.

Her screamed filled the kitchen and echoed throughout the orphanage and even sounded outside but luckily there weren't any people nearby.

Sometime passed and Ren finally stopped slapping her. Joan had long since passed out. The skin on her cheeks got torn and a big wound appeared.

*Huff* *Huff*

'I lost control of my emotions for a while. Maybe it's a good thing to live by my emotions in this life.' Still sat on top of Joan's body, Ren thought.

'No, I will live by my emotions but I won't be controlled by them, Anger clouds the mind!' Ren thought.

" I told her to beg for her life but she didn't. Anyway I don't want to be some sadistic person in the future so I'll end this here." Ren got up and retrieved the knife.

*pa*

"Hey you wake up, it's time to move on to the next life." Ren slapped Joan a couple of times but she didn't wake up.

After thinking for some time, Ren rummaged around and found some salt and sprinkled some on her wounds.

"Ahh" Screamed out, her previous boyish face looked creepy, her eyes danced frantically in her skull.

*Pa*

"Shut up! If you scream again I'll chop off your limbs."

Joan woke up screaming in pain but but was slapped. After being threatened she held back her cries and only her whimpers escaped her mouth.

The wounds on her face was causing her extcrutiating pain. To make things worse the salt on her wounds made her fell even more pain.

"I told you, to beg for your life but you didn't and now, since you failed I'll kill you." Ren said as he placed the knife on her throat.

"No wait, I'll do whatever it is that you want from me, just please don't kill me, ahhhh *sob* I don't waaant to die aaahh *sob* Iuhhm so sowry" Joan cried out, her voice broke as she spoke.

"Shut up." Ren said annoyed. She complayed and held back her cries. Her snort, tears and fearful look being the only thing that showed her current emotional state.

"I want you to remember this feeling, remember it well, this is what I felt like every time you picked on me, this is what I went through."

"Do you hear me? This is how I felt!" Ren said as he grabbed her face and pulled it close.

Ren placed the knife on her face and slowly traced it down her face. A small white line was left on her skin but no real damage was dealt.

Joan Followed the knife with her eyes, tears still flowing out. Her chest went up and down as she hyperventilated.

Ren slowly observed her, he looked at the little details and thought,' For some reason, I'm starting to feel bad for her.'

'Rubbish! She's just like them, I vowed to kill them all.'

'Yeah but she's didn't betray me like the others, she doesn't deserve to die.'

'If given the chance she would so what your gonna let her off that easily. Are you gonna let the others go as well?"

'I'm not gonna let her off but I'm not gonna kill her either.' Ren began to struggle with a proper state of mind. He stood still for a sec.

Joan on the other hand had stopped whimpering, but she still felt fear as Ren was just staring at her and doing nothing.

'Regardingnthose that betrayed me, they deserve nothing more then death, I'll kill them all. Every last one of them!' Ren continued.

When he got to the last thought, his mood changed. He clutched his fists and the hand that held the knife, pressed deeper into her skin and drew some blood.

"Ahh. " Joan tried to contain it but a screamed escaped her mouth. "Please don't kill me, I'll do anything!" she said in a pleading tone.

Her scream brought him out of his thoughts, he sighed, took a deep and asked,"Anything?"

"Yes, I'll do anything!" Joan said frantically.

"From now on, your gonna be my slave. If I order you to jump off a mountain, you do it. If I order you to do Anything, you must do it without complaints. Do you understand!" Ren asserted.

Joan hesitated when she heard his words but a knife was quickly slammed in to the chair, right between her legs. She quickly nodded agreed.

"If you dare betray me, I'll kill you in the worst possible way, you hear me?" Ren pulled her neck closer and looked her right in the eyes.

She nodded... His face was burnt into her mind.

"Good, Quickly clean yourself up and help me with getting rid of this body." Ren used the knife to cut the rope and set her free.

When she was set free, Joan thought about running away but her minds quickly dismissed that thought. She was fatigued and her body was in pain.

"Where do you think your going? There's some water in that bucket quickly clean the blood and let's go." Ren said annoyed.

Joan moved to the bucket and began to slowly taking off her clothes.

"Hurry the hell up, you think I care about your body? I don't! hmph." Ren shouted.

'Maybe I'm not cut out for this.' Ren thought as he sat down on the chair and looked at Joan.

'Even so, when it comes to the others I'll kill them without hesitation.' Ren's expression changed again.

....

Elsewhere....

Alexandra stood in front of the door and anxiously looked up the staircase. It had been a while now since people stopped coming down the stairs and she waited there anxiously.

"Little girl, times up. Get in, it's time to close the door." The guard at the door said.

"Please sir, my friend is going to be here in a minute." Alexandra said.

"No! get in!"While asking the guard, grabbed her and pulled her in.

"No please, at least leave me outside." Alexandra tried to resist but it was futile, she couldn't even slow the man down.

The guard then, used the other hand to push the heavy door.

"No please stop!"

Inside the big warehouse looking room, everyone looked towards the commotion. In contrast to the big room, there was only a little over a hundred people in the warehouse.

In a group of figures all clad in brown cloaks a woman looked towards the door and asked, "What going on,?"

"There's a girl who wants to get out and look for her friend but the guard just dragged her inside for obvious reasons." Another cloaked figure answered.

"Oh it's that girl!" The woman said in shock when she looked towards the door.

"You recognise her?" Besides her, an elderly woman with wrinkles on her face asked.

"Yeah, she's an orphan girl I tried to adopt the other day but she refused. The reason being her friend. I told her I'd let her think it over carefully but she declined." The woman said.

"Oh there's such a girl! Why don't you use her current situation to flip her over into the pan." The elderly woman said.

Everyone wearing a brown cloak seemed to respect the elderly woman in brown.

Just then, man quickly arrived in front of the doorjust as it was about to close.

"The two destigueshed guests have requested some reinforcements. The guests stated it's a code red and reminded to remain incognito." The man shouted into the bunker.

*Sigh*

"Looks like, I get to exercise my old bones." The elderly woman said as she got up with her walking stick.

"Let's go."
