When Tom had thrusted the plastic pipe in Smile's mouth,
Smile has bit on to it such that a part of it broke and remained in his mouth.
Tom was careless not to check.
Smile still didn't have much hope, what could be posibly do with plastic piece,
Perhaps kill himself?
But one thing is for sure, that he would kill someone with it and try to possibly escape.
Just like that he thought few things and fell into the slumber,
Smile's sleep was definitely not normal,
Everytime he slept he'd see nightmares filled with horrors, it all started in that day.
It was autumn, he was almost 9 years old, he was coming home alone after his school,
He felt something inside of him,
He felt a bit of pain in him, a flock of birds flying above him started falling and dying, it was like they're trying to suicide.
The branches of some died tree started to fall, several more birds were falling now,
A little bunny which was coming this way just collapsed and didn't move.....it died.
Smile was in a shock, he was in pain and adding more to that, how gruesome would it be to see many living things die like it's nothing.
He was going home holding all that pain, a old man near him collapsed and rolled over the land which went downward, like a lifeless corpse,
Was it all because of him? He thought, but what had he done.
He quietly entered his house went over to his room and fell asleep.
And then started the cycle of horrifying nightmares.
He was sitting on a throne made some kind of black stone,
It was perfectly carved with some weird symbols on them.
Lifeless bodies with no heads we're bowing to him,
Each of the had living pigeons in their hand,
They were holding them captive but for what reason?
Soon enough he started to hear some chantings out of nowhere,
It emitted from the body of those corpse.
Smile flinched a little,
Soon a women came forward to the centre,
The place was like a dark cave with torches on the walls,
The women cut off her left hand with a weird looking dagger and started to take the blood from her right hand and draw some sort of shape.
It felt like a ritual would go because what she drew was a star in a triangle,
She stood on the star and stabbed her heart, and she fell to the ground,
She was already dead so it didn't much when she died again.
The blood rushed to the lines of the star and triangle.
It filled them giving a little glow of red,
Soon every corpse started to run holding the pigeons,
They brutally threw them to the ground obliterating them,
They were doing quite symmetrically around the ritual,
Four people came around that ritual shape
And lit themselves on fire pouring gasoline on them.
It felt like the ritual was ready,
Smile stood up, he wasn't in control ofcourse, he couldn't feel much too, but he could see.
His body went over and stood on the ritual place,
He plunged his arm deep in his chest,
And plucked his heart,
He felt dizzy but he was somehow alive for few seconds,
He crushed his heart with his hands and fell down.
Smile suddenly woke up to the call of his mother, he ran and had his breakfast with his family.
.....
Smile was sleeping in the basement, he soon heard some footsteps, it was Elena's he was quite happy even though he didn't show anything on his face because he wanted food more than anything else.
Elena steeped forward, "How are you darling, hope you're doing alright"
Smile saw her, he remembered his mother when he was very young, he had fallen inside his house and started to cry she said the same thing.
Smile started to cry, he made a sorrowful expression bending his head.
Soon he felt two warm hands holding his head,
She brought it closer to her chest and hugged him.
Smile started to cry even more, he was now like a little baby, "I don't want this torture" he said in a sorrow tone.
Elena patted on his head, "It will all be over soon and you will be alright, so don't worry"
She went a little black holding his head and kissed him on the forehead.
She had a expression of someone was a genuinely in love.
She soon left the basement, she had also left some bags near him containing some food,
He didn't want to accept but it was first time he felt Elena as a sweet girl who gave him some sort of motherly love.
Would be possibly in future fall in love with her?.
He picked the food from the bags and started to eat them like a hungry beggar.
.....
Just like that
A week passed,
Smile's hair had grew longer almost covering his eyes,
Luckily he was quite fit because food was given to him on the right time, and he would exercise sometimes to get rid of boredom.
Tom was infront of me with a satisfied expression, ofcourse he would be
Since he now said, "Young man, we are ready for the step 2"
Smile was horrified hearing that, he had endured so much of pain and he did not want to imagine or most likely could not imagine what would be worse....
