“And am afraid that's just the way this world works, it ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet.”

ASHER
….
One of his hands on my mouth, while the other on my wrist. His grip crushed my wrist, and I was sure his sharp eyes wore a psychopathic look, even though I couldn't see his face.
“Let…me..go…”
It was difficult to speak, but still I tried to struggle, and tried to bite his palm, but when I realized that the more I struggled, the more he held unto me tighter, and the more my ass became more scared of him killing me on the spot because I didn't want to cooperate, I decided it was the best to dance again with darkness that was ruining my life once again, so I gave up and surrendered to my doom.
I let him aggressively drag me deeper into the alley, to darkness, to the abyss..
"You're number five" He whispered, his breath cold against my ear.
“Fi…five?" I repeated, confusion mixing with terror, and my heart that was sinking deeper
“Four students vanished before you, do you understand now, hmm?" Kaidën crooned. "You'll fit perfectly."
And it was only then did realization finally dawned on me, that this psychopath was behind everything- The disappearances, every single shitty thing that happened.
Confused aren't you?, Let me explain.
Once upon a shitty time, four students unexpectedly disappeared from this God forsaken university one after the other, and even though the police and the university officials had said they would get into the bottom of this, after few shitty months, they all f*****g failed their useless promise to do so.
Yes, they all forgot about it, and the case died, and now?...now I was one of the victims…
I, a guy who got absolutely nothing like connections to get me out of this abyss that I had fallen into. I, who was a guy who never talks to anyone, so I doubt anyone would ever even notice that am gone.
Fuck, they would all bury my disappearance, like they did to the rest.
"The…the… missing students..."
Even though my voice was barely above a whisper, I let it out of my covered mouth, and tried to struggle again, but immediately I did, he twisted my left arm back, and I felt all the bones inside it breaking into pieces, but he didn't care in the f*****g slightest, why would he ever?
"My collection."
His lips were so close to my neck when he said that, and I imagined him smiling, and it killed me, it killed me and made me try to break free again even though I knew it was so pointless. So yes, I regretted it immediately I tried doing that, cause he twisted my arm and tightened his grip the more
“Do you really love playing with fire this much, hmm?” He whispered
“Do you really think you would escape…”
His whisper became a loud chuckle as he broke my bones the more…How lovely indeed.
"No one ever does."
And then I heard those words, those f*****g heartbreaking words that sent ice through my veins, but this was what he wanted…Fuck, this was exactly what he loved.
As he dragged me into a truck, I spotted a familiar symbol etched into the side, a twisted omega.
The same symbol was carved into the trees near campus, where the missing students were last seen, and I had never really cared about it, or the missing students that much cause I got my own shits to face, but now that I was literally in the same shoes that every one of them were on, I couldn't help but to feel that that damn symbol was mocking me..
No one was really on my side- a sad poor boy. When Kaiden noticed that I kept on looking at that damn symbol, he held my chin and made me look at him right in his eyes that sparked up with amusement.
"You're piecing it together, aren't you?"
He asked me happily and he tied up my hands behind my back, but I didn't reply, cause I hated his guts more than I hated this fed up life, but my silence only made him more happier than before, and I hated myself again for letting that happen
“Remain a good boy and stay silent this way, okay?”
Those were the last damn words I heard, before he tossed me into the trunk that looked like nothing but a dark prison, and slammed it shut, and it was only then did I finally realized that this was the really how the mad real world was…
