“ No, you are lying and you know what I do to people who lie, prepare yourself cause I'm coming back and when I do, I will make sure to satisfy my last fantasy with you” I told Nina clearly before storming off the tiny room I had kept her in.
My blood was boiling with anticipation, as I prepared myself for what I had to do with her next. I walked up the stairs and took the stairs up to the second floor where I use as my office and living area.
I stepped into the room, with Xavier following closely behind me “ Do you think what Nina said is true?” Xavier asked me as I turned to look at him. He was standing at the door with his hands resting on the door.
“ What kind of question is that?” I asked him, turning to sit down on the dirty couch across from him. Even though I knew what he was asking me, I had to pretend not to.
“ About you being responsible for Mia's death? Did you raped her? ” Xavier asked me, his voice coming out stronger with an edge to it than he had intended. I avoided his eyes, even mom had told me that the last time I was at home. Was this what she was trying to tell me ?. I can't believe she knew.
“ What do you mean by that? Are you sick ?” I glared at Xavier. I knew how he felt about Mia. He had always loved her from afar. I know he's only here with me because he wants to avenge Mia's death.
“ I'm sorry. I thought what she was saying was true ” Xavier apology to me as I nodded at him.
“ You shouldn't be believing whatever Nina is saying she's trying to pave her way out of here alive and I'm never going to allow that” I replied as I clenched my fist.
“ What do you suggest we do now? It's dangerous and she knows too much about us to let her go ” Xavier told me, his eyes searching my face for a possible answer.
I knew all of that. After knowing that Michael isn't responsible for Mia's death. I'm going to kill Nina and later dump her body in the forest.
I want to get back at Michael for not defending me all those years when our classmates make fun of me. And as for Nina, I'm going to kill her for having the perfect family I never had...
The door opened just as I had come to a conclusion within myself. Deborah walked in, I turned to stare at her, she was dressed in a black gown and a black scarf which covered her face like a hijab.
She strolled into the room with a smile on her face, as she walked over to me. I keep repeating to myself over and over again that Deborah doesn't love me that she's only using me.
“ Austin darling? I'm sorry but I need to get going. I hope you'll kill her at night right?” Deborah called softly to me as she ran her hands down my cheeks.
I smiled at her, even though I ought to be annoyed with her for using me and making me believe that she loves me but No, here I was glad that she was touching me.
“Yes, I will make sure to end her. You don't need to worry, just get married to Michael and take care of my son. Okay?” I told her as she nodded. Even though she has been using me all those years, I was glad that I have a son with her. When he grows, I will take him and train him to be a good boy.
“ Good ” Deborah replied and turned to walk out of the door but she paused “ And one more thing , be careful. I heard the police are snobbing around ” With that she stepped out of the door leaving us to wonder about what she meant by that. I turned to Xavier who was also looking at me lost for words.
“ Get the tools for me, it's time for the hunt ” I nodded to Xavier who turned to run out of the door.
As soon as Xavier left the room, I walked over to the next room to shower and get ready for the real deal tonight.
As the water cascaded down my back , I couldn't help thinking back to those days when I had found out that I had a personality Disorder, that there were two people in me.
***
Six years ago
I walked into one of the best hospitals in France. I came over after one of my musical festivals. I walked down the hallway to one of the nurses who was staring at me, I hope she doesn't recognize me as I was using a costume.
“ Hi ! I'm looking for Dr. Pato” I told her with a gentle smile on my face while bringing my blazer to cover my face leaving only my eyes
She smiled “ Do you have an appointment ?” She asked as I nodded, she then directed me into Dr. Pato's office. He was a counselor, this was where Mia used to go.
Dr Pato stared at me as he dropped the bombshell on me “ I'm afraid Mr. Walker , you have DID. That was the result of the text we conducted on you years back” I was shocked, I didn't know that was the reason why Mia had tricked me down to the hospital but how did she guess?.
“ Is there any cure for this , Doctor ?” I asked him my eyes, begging him frantically to find me a cure.
“ I'm afraid not Mr. Walker. I told your sister that some years back. I thought you didn't know about it then. How did you find out ?” Doctor Pato asked me, prepositioning his glasses on his face.
“ My manager pointed it out to me, ” I told him slowly. As I stood up to leave the hospital, a lot of things were on my mind, like how was I going to leave knowing that there were two people in me? but over the years I had survived and learnt to live with it.
I came back from my thought to see that Xavier was back from the errand I had sent him, I nodded at him as I rushly dressed. I took the gun from him and tested the ammunition before turning to look at him.
