-Hello Psych~O's! I have had this story written in my notebook for months and never got around to writing it on the my computer so I figured I would and get it posted since I can't work on my other stories with my old laptop being broken, this story might seems a bit rushed at first but that's to get the background story out, and also the Italics are dreams/thoughts. Also I don't own Psych…
"Shawn! Shawn, are you okay?" Juliet asked as her and Lassiter made they way into the room he was in with their guns out.
"It hurts." Shawn got out quietly and Juliet went to his side. She looked him over, he had dried blood on his head and down his face, he had blood soaked through his shirt on his side that ran from the top of his chest to the bottom of his stomach, and burns on both legs.
"Oh my god, Shawn." Juliet said while she carefully untied him.
"Spencer, where is he?" Lassiter asked.
"He went o-out awhile ago."
"Do you know where?"
"Said he was going to get something for us to have more fun with."
"Shawn, you need to sit still and the ambulance will be here soon." Juliet told him while holding his hand.
"Did you find the others?"
"Others?" Lassiter asked.
"The dead ones."
"Shawn, hey? Shawn are you okay?" Juliet said and Shawn looked up from his plate.
"Yeah, of course."
"You have been playing with your food for the last ten minutes, if it's not good you don't have to eat it."
"No, Jules it's great... I was just thinking about something."
"You know you can talk to me about it if you want."
"I really just don't want to, it's over and done now so it doesn't really matter."
"Shawn, it's matters and your nightmares are getting worse. You should really talk about it with me or with Gus, maybe a therapist."
"I don't want to talk about it yet, I'm just not ready."
"It been three months Shawn and it's not getting any better." Juliet said then Shawn reached his hand over to her's and held it.
"When I'm ready I'll tell you Jules, I promise." He said and gave her hand a kiss.
"Alright." Juliet said then they went back to eating their dinner. When they were done they cleaned up their plates and went upstairs, Shawn went into their bathroom and brushed his teeth then started changing into him pajamas when he stopped and stared in the mirror at the scar on his chest then he ran his fingers from the top of it to the bottom.
"You like games don't you Shawn?"
"Yeah, who doesn't? Personally my favorite is Yahtzee but Gus will never play it with me because I always win, he thinks I cheat but I'm just lucky I guess."
"This game is a little different."
"Like Boggle?"
"Nope."
"Jenga?"
"How about I tell you how we play."
"I guess you could, but won't I need my hands to be untied to play a game?"
"Not this one." The man said and flashed Shawn a creepy smile. "You are gonna guess why I'm doing this to you."
"Is there a prize if I win?"
"If you get it right I will let you leave."
"Just like that?"
"Just like that." He said and pulled a knife out and lifted Shawn's shirt up. "But every time you guess wrong I will take this knife and start at the top of your chest then cut down, you only have till I reach the bottom to answer and if you don't get it right then you lose."
"Can we play a different game, maybe battleship?"
"The game starts now." The man said and put the cold blade at the top of Shawn's chest.
"Okay... Um, I put someone you knew in jail?"
"Wrong." He said and ran the knife down a few inches of Shawn's skin causing him to scream. "Guess again.
"You son of a bitch!"
"That's not the right answer Shawnie boy." He said and went further down, Shawn took a moment to recover then looked back at the man.
"You watched Saw too many times and now you think you are the evil looking clown that rides the tricycle?"
"You really shouldn't be using your guesses as jokes." He said and ran the blade down further.
"It was totally worth it."
"Was it?" He said then went almost all the way down to the bottom of his stomach. "One more guess, better make it good."
"There is something about me that bothered you, that's why most crazy people come after me."
"You are very annoying." He said and Shawn smiled. "But I find it interesting so no, that is not the reason why." The man said and ran the blade down the rest of the way while Shawn screamed.
Shawn looked up from his scar and saw Juliet in the mirror standing by the doorway, he gave her a weak smile and she walked over by him and put her hand on his back.
"You ready for bed." Juliet said.
"Yeah I was just changing, I'll be right there." He said and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead then she left the bathroom, when he was finished changing he walked out into the bedroom and climbed into his side of the bed. Juliet snuggled up beside him and he wrapped his arm around her. "Night Jules."
"Night Shawn." She said and gave him a kiss then turned out the lights.
"You know it's been two days and I still don't know your name." Shawn said to the man.
"Names are meaningless, they are just another way to label people."
"Well what can I call you then?"
"Nothing."
"How about Jigsaw?" Shawn said and chuckled. "You know, like the guy from Saw."
"How about you shut up now."
"Is that a suggestion or an order? Because either way I don't think I will be able to stop." Shawn said with a smile then the man took a metal pipe off the ground and hit him over the head with it.
"Shawn! Shawn, it's okay. Calm down Shawn!" Juliet screamed as Shawn tossed and turned aggressively in the bed then Shawn jumped backwards away from Juliet then looked at her terrified.
"What? Where am I?"
"Shawn, you're in our bed." She said then he took a quick look around.
"Thank god." He said and she scooted next to him and ran her fingers through his hair.
"Shawn, you're full of sweat. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, it was just another nightmare."
"It wasn't just a nightmare, you looked scared to death Shawn."
"Jules, I'm fine. I was just a little spooked."
"Your really starting to worry me." Juliet said as tears formed in the bottom of her eyes, Shawn noticed and wiped them away then placed a kiss on her lips.
"I will get better when the time is right Jules, you don't have to worry about a thing. I will be one hundred percent back to normal in no time, trust me." He said then kissed her again.
"You want to go back to bed?"
"Not really, I'm wide awake now. What time is it?" Shawn asked and Juliet grabbed her phone and looked at the clock.
"Ah, Six forty-seven."
"Okay, I'm gonna hop in the shower and wash all this sweat off."
"You want me to join you?" Juliet said with a little smile.
"I kinda just want to be alone right now, rain check?"
"Yeah." Juliet said and Shawn got off the bed and went to the bathroom then shut the door, Juliet sat up then grabbed her phone off the nightstand and headed downstairs and starting calling.
"Lassiter." Lassiter said over the phone.
"Carlton, It's Juliet."
