CHAPTER 31

Elsie’s consciousness came back gradually, like the dead slowly rising from their grave. Her hands had broken through the earth a while before her eyes rose above the surface.

And now she could breathe.

Pain throbbed from the back of her head, all the way down to her waist. She had fought him. Sustained many blows. And of course he’d won in the end, as she knew he would. Where was he … now…?

Elsie sat up in the bed. She had a blindfold on, the room frozen black in front of her. Her wrists and ankles were bound to the bed.

Her clothes were still on.

“Hello?” she called out pitifully. “Is someone there…?”

She couldn’t hear anyone. If he was still here, he was being nice and quiet.

Elsie strained her hearing. And then she caught it.

The familiar ticking of the grandfather clock downstairs.

“Hello?” she tried.

A new sound. Faraway. Tires crunching gravel outside. A car.

But was he coming or going?

“Shit,” Elsie muttered. She tried breaking free of her restraints but they wouldn’t budge. Not for her feeble strength. The chords were far too tight.

“Aaarrgghhh…” Elsie moaned.

Door slam. Soft footsteps.

So he’d left her here. All alone.

And now he had returned.

Elsie kept still as she listened to his movements downstairs, gradually drawing nearer. She heard items being shuffled around. The sound of a gun being loaded. His feet on wooden stairs. Surely … he didn’t mean to kill her?

The door opened slowly.

Elsie remained completely still.

Silence.

Then a finger. His finger.

Pressing against her neck. Checking her pulse.

Elsie held back a yelp.

The finger’s intensity relaxed. She felt it draw a line down from her neck and across her chest.

It reached her stomach and stopped short of going down further.

“You must be so afraid,” he whispered in a gentle tone of voice. “I can’t even imagine.”

The finger shifted towards her pelvic region.

“Fuck you,” Elsie gasped.

He quickly pulled his hand away from her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you were awake.”

“Are you going to rape me?”

“Would you like that?”

“What? No!”

He suddenly put his hands behind her head.

Elsie struggled with him, trying to knock his hands away. She was unsuccessful.

He removed her blindfold.

She kept her eyes shut. “I don’t want to see your face.”

“Why not?”

“Because then you’ll have to kill me.”

She heard him moving to the other end of the bed.

“You won’t see much of me in this light, I’m afraid.”

Elsie kept her eyelids clenched.

“Please open them.”

“No,” she said.

“I SAID OPEN THEM!”

He shook the bed violently.

Wincing, Elsie’s sight gradually returned.

She could see where he was. She could see his figure bending over the bed.

Two bright blue circles were glowing around the hollow edges of where his eyes should have been.

“Oh God!” Elsie shrieked. “What the fuck?!”

“What’s the matter?” the man demanded of her. “You don’t like my face?”

“HELP!” Elsie screamed.

“You don’t find me attractive?”

“FUCKING GO AWAY!!!”

“You can scream all you want, no one’s going to hear you,” the man said ominously.

“HELP!!!”

“We’re all alone out here.”

“SOMEBODY!!!”

“It’s just me and you.”
