••Lisa's P.O.V••

"And after that day, I've never seen him show any emotions, nothing. I guess it all just left a deep void inside him."Bill finished and I felt a tear escaping through my eye. I was speechless, No word could came out of my mouth.

"But that day, when the accident happened and you were in the hospital, I started seeing things that I thought I could never be able to see again in him..."

"No.." I mumbled as I shook my head in disbelief, "No this can't be..he did the same as his dad Bill...he did the same to me," I burst out crying, the tears that I didn't know if they were out of anger or sadness.

"Somehow you had triggered those things inside him, I don't know lisa, that's why I wanted to talk to you, to tell you....He started acting weird after meeting You, Tom's like he's fighting a battle with himself. He was triggered multiple times in such a short time and you, you seem to have something to do with that."

"No .." I shouted.

"He didn't kill you Lisa, that was the most shocking thing i've ever seen from him, not killing a girl who's causing a fuss like you every second, in fact he saved you and not just once! so that has to do something with you..."

I shook my head as I got up from my seat, "I..I don't care if he has saved me, i'd rather to be dead to spend another second in here...with him," I lied, I just knew I wasn't telling the truth. I did care.

"He's not himself right now, after that bloody bullet. It was heavily drugged and he started hallucinating and...it triggered it back..."

"And what do you want me to do huh?" I yelled, trying to hold my tears from falling down but it was as if I didn't have any control over it.

"He seemed to have a soft spot for you.."

"He was killing me! if you have come a bit late maybe a bullet was now in my head, how can you call that a soft spot?!" I whined. I couldn't think straight it was all too much to take in and my heart was burning inside my chest, so warm.

"I don't know Lisa... he...needs help..." Bill said, concern in his voice. using his last chance on me to get his brother back from madness.

I started taking steps back, my heart getting warmer each second. "Yeah he needs help and he can get it by getting chained up in a mental hospital..." I said back but I felt my heart break by the words that came out of my mouth. The things that Bill told me earlier had just made my heart so...weak.

"Uh god damn it! He fucking needs YOU! Why don't you get it Lisa?" he groaned, as he got up from his bed.

"That night, after he fucking..uh...touched Ria in front of you, in front of ME...he tried to make you feel something, tried to get you back with his fucking stupid ways..." He yelled in my face and I just stood there.

"And after he failed, it was like he had lost someone again, and that's when he turned into madness again, ruining everything by going crazy in that building. Then he got shot, and that fucking bullet put him on hallucination for days; and god knows what he was seeing while he was whimpering at night."

I stood still, my heart burning in my chest with each passing moment, with his words.

He sighed before calming down a bit. "You already know you have no way out from here and you know that I can't keep stopping him from coming for you sweetheart. I can't hold him back from what he wants to do. He will eventually wake up and he WILL come to you." He said.

"Uh.."

"Maybe today, maybe tomorrow or maybe even now,"

I stared into his eyes as I was shattering into pieces from inside, filled with so many mixed emotions.

He came a bit closer and put his hand gently on my shoulder, "The only way to save yourself is to save him." He said, his words echoing into my ears.

I shook my head while the tears were running down my face. I took a step back forcefully getting my shoulder away from his hands, and made my way out of his room.

"You can't always run away from it Lisa." He said loudly before I shut the door behind myself.

My heart was heavy, yet so warm and burning. My mind was telling me to stay away as far as I possibly could but my heart was screaming to go beside him and help him. But, how could I help? How could I go near him and not end up dead like the rest? He sure would kill me like he tried to hours ago.

I made my way towards the room that I was in, walking past his room I stopped for a moment, wondering if he was still unconscious or not.

I slowly reached for his door, my hand on the door handle, hesitating if I should open it or not. If I should take the risk by going near him, not knowing what he would do, try to kill me? Or he'll wrap his big arms around my waist and pull me into his warm embrace? Or perhaps gently crossing my hair away from my face and locking his gaze into my eyes for minutes like he often does?

What am I thinking? Of course he'll kill me, like bill said he's not himself anymore, he's... just acting like a monster?

I can't see him as a monster anymore...

•••

I couldn't sleep, the whole day I locked myself in the room. I couldn't dare to step out knowing he's still in the house, alive, seeking for another victim.

But Bill was right, I can't always run away from it. Sooner or later, he'll come and break the door to take me and do whatever he pleases. Maybe I'll be the next girl he'll take to his basement then the next day they have to come and collect my remains from the floor; Just like that innocent girl who was stabbed in the heart by Tom.

As I was thinking about him, the roaming sound of a car broke the dead silence of the night. I slightly moved to the closet window and looked down, only to spot Tom who was getting out of his car, while pulling a girl by her hair. pushing her forcefully into the house.

"oh fuck.." I mumbled as I knew what was going to happen to that innocent girl; it was an obvious repetition of the night before. He really had lost his mind...

With a heavy heart, I gazed at the door, my blood running cold at the thought of getting out of this room. I could feel my hands becoming cold as ice but that didn't stop me from running towards the door. without a second thought I unlocked the door and stepped out.

Running through the hallway as Bill's words were repeating in my head. Am I making the right decision to go down there? To face him myself?

I spotted Tom downstairs. He was pulling that girl towards the kitchen, where the basement door was located.

Her screams were echoing in the house as I was running down the stairs, skipping steps as my heart was almost pounding out of my throat. Now there was no coming back, but I couldn't care anymore, I couldn't care what would happen to me.. anymore.

I reached them and just as he was about to turn back and notice me, I jumped on him with all my strength which caused us both to fall to the ground. A groan escaped his lips as his body met the floor and my weight pressed down upon him.

I turned my head to the girl who was kneeling down, her hair free from Tom's hands, "Run!" I screamed at her.

Without a hesitation she gazed at me in a thankful way and got up to her feet, running for her life out of this house, this murderous house.

Suddenly, Tom forcefully shoved me onto the floor before he hovered over me, grabbing my face tightly into his hand, and I could smell the bitter alcohol in his mouth again, so heavy.

"You really thought that any dog could run away while my guards are standing out there?" He chuckled and in an instant, the sound of a gunshot echoed through the house and my heart dropped.

They took her life and there was just no more tears left for me to weep, I just stared into his eyes, his madness and fiery eyes, "If you wanted to go down there so bad you should've just come out sooner." He said,"So there wouldn't be two corpses to clean up after." He groaned before he got up from me.

"No Tom wait" I said as his hand reached for me. I began kicking my legs in an attempt to fend him off, but he managed to grab hold of one and started tugging me across the floor. making his way to the kitchen. finishing what he had started. "Tom, wait! you need to stop" I shouted, struggling to wrest my leg from his grasp.
