Chapter 218 - Together

Lena watched as Kris left and closed the door. She turned around and looked at Eva. She was still at her corner but she stared at Lena in shock.

"You... You're with him?!"

Lena walked close to Eva. "You can still talk... seems like they need to cut your tongue out."

Eva was startled at first but then burst into a laugh. A crazy laugh. "I... I thought they were going easy on me when they stopped torturing me and feeding me food. They were only buttering me up for you."

Lena grabbed the chair and brought it close to Eva. She sat down gently.

"You're crazy! How can you see anything in him? He is the devil himself! He is not even showing you what they did to me! You think he is all pretty and sunshine like An---."

Lena stepped on Eva's feet with her heels and pressed down hard.

"AHHH!" She screeched from the unexpected pain. Eva thought that she was used to the pain but after about a week of not getting torture, the pain was more intense than she was used to.

"What right do you have to say his name after all the horrible things you did to him?" Lena released her shoe from Eva's flesh.

Eva was short of breath and weak. "You still love him, don't you? Does your new man know? That you still think about another man when you are with him?!"

"Wow..." Lena clapped her hands. "Gotta give you some props for that. You definitely grew another pair of the brain while you were in here."

Lena bent her head low and leveled it with Eva's. "You think that saying that will make Kris waiver? C'mon, spout some other's men name too while you're at that. Is it Gary? Andy's dad? My bodyguard?"

Lena got up from her chair and walked to the window, knowing that it was a one-sided mirror. "Just because I love someone doesn't mean that I cannot care for others. Don't compare our relationship to your menial one. For sure I went easy on Andy, but my feelings for him are nothing more than just a friend. I gave him a second chance, and there will be no more."

"You are so sure? He will leave you after he uses you. Hell, bet he would kill you without hesitation. Your love talk is trash." Eva spat on the floor.

"So what? I have no regrets with Kris... I would not hesitate to die for him, unlike you."

Eva had no response. "You all hate me so much, you should just kill me. Hah... but you can't, can you? You will never kill anyone, that is why you will not be able to love a killer like Kris."

Lena walked back to Eva, making sure she stayed away from her spit on the floor. "But you see, that's where you're wrong. Kris and I... we are not the same... we are made as a pair. I might never be able to physically do it, but trust me... my mind has thought of it. I'll be the mastermind and Kris can be the master do-it. We are a pair, matched in heaven."

Lena sat on her chair again. "Looks like you were starved. Maybe some mental torture. You have some burn marks." Lena could see some old and new scars but they definitely did some deep dark torture techniques that she had not seen before.

"Seems like they should start some more physical torture on you. After all, you're just taking space and wasting food to keep you alive."

"You---!"

"Yes, it's me. Let's see... maybe we should really go with that tongue being cut off. I hate that sweet fake voice of yours. Oh, and I just watched a scary movie where the killer used a grater to skin the person. That looks scary and nasty... Ugh." Lena shook her body for the chills, making it more scary for Eva. "And you have never been shot before right?"

Eva widened her eyes... no words can come out of her mouth.

"I got shot before. And you also shot Andy correct?" Lena got up from the chair and walked to the mirror again. "Do you have a gun, Kris? Oh, wait... why did I even ask, of course, you do. We walked past like 10,000 guns before."

Kris opened the door and walked in. "Which one? The bigger one or the smaller one?"

"Hmm... I think the smaller one." Lena grabbed the gun out of Kris' hand. She quickly took out the magazine ammunition and made sure that it was loaded.

Eva panicked. She remembered that Lena was not able to shoot her before but seeing Lena handle the gun now, it seems like she had used a gun before.

"Please! I don't want to die...." Eva cried.

"But you just told me before that we should just kill you?"

"I---."

"Hey, Kris." Lena turned back and talked to Kris. "Where do I shoot so she would not die that easily? The hand? Leg? Toe?"

"The toe might be a bit hard for you. You can go for the leg." Kris answered.

"Ok... but what if I missed?"

The two of them were casually talking about shooting a person like it was no big deal. Eva scooted and moved a bit as she was still mobile because her legs were only chained. Maybe if she moved a bit, Lena would miss.

"It's fine. We have professional doctors here who can make sure she is alive wherever you hit her. Even if she died, no one will know."

"Ok." Lena smiled and turned back to Eva, who was moving around. "Dude... are you trying to kill yourself? My aim is bad and your moving will just make it harder to aim... you want your head to be shot?"

Eva stopped. She did not think of that. She just kept waving her hand to beg.

Lena turned back to Kris. "This is my first time shooting a real target." Lena confessed.

"You don't have to if you don't want to."

"But I really want to shoot her like... YEAH, SHOOT HER FOR REVENGE!" Lena explained. "You think I am psycho?"

Kris chuckled. "We can be psycho's together." He walked behind Lena and help her hold the gun and pointed at Eva's leg. "Together."

Lena's finger was on the trigger but Kris helped her aim. "I think knowing that you can feel my pain too, that is me moving on."

Lena gave her last words and pulled the trigger. It landed on Eva's thighs and she screamed. Blood was oozing out.

Kris relaxed Lena's arm and took the gun from her. "Let her bleed a bit then Keso can take care of her. Let's go eat."

Lena continued to stare at Eva in pain for a bit before turning around and leaving. She really just needed that to move on, from her silent pain and trauma.
