He strokes over my cheek and smiles.
"Alfred…" he murmurs as he looks at me with those dreamy and incredibly hypnotizing eyes. "Oh, my dearest Alfred… Don't look at anyone else but me, okay? Don't touch anyone else, don't talk to anyone else… Only me."
I nod. What else should I do? My mouth is taped, my feet and hands are tied together. I should just do whatever he wants from me.

I'm scared.
I could simply escape but the stuff he put in my Cola made me weak. He looks at me and smiles even wider. It freaks me out.
"Good." he says and strokes over my head. His hand wanders down to the tape and he tears it off my mouth. The smell of urine and dog shit seems even stronger now. The sharp pain makes me forget all this kidnapping and raping stuff and I pant. My heart is racing. What will you do with me now?

"Alfred, my brother, my beloved brother…" he smiles. "No matter how hard I try, I just cannot hate you. I was the good and obedient from us two but Arthur still only remembers you. Everyone thinks of you when they actually see me. Do you know how much trouble that is for me?"

"I'm sorry." I say quietly, not sure if I'm allowed to talk.
"Don't be." he continues. "As I said, I simply can't hate you. Sometimes it's quite annoying, but… I got used to it, I guess."
He chuckles sweetly and I'd find it cute if he wouldn't creep me out so much.
"Come on, Alfred, say it."

"Say what?"
My voice is shaking even more since I try to sound strong. He chuckles at that and raises my head that was looking at the dirty floor, which seems much more interesting than the lovestruck monster in front of me.
"You know exactly what." he suddenly grins. I never saw this grin before. It scares me even more than the whole situation. Can people even pull their mouth corner that high?

I swallow hard. I know what he wanted to hear, and I knew what could happen, if I wouldn't say it.

"Matthew, I… love you."

"Good boy!" he smiles gently again. He strokes over my head again and I look at his eyes. I can literally see how the last bit of sanity disappeared. Shit, shit, shit!
"Now you'll stay here with me forever."

I close my eyes and wish to wake up. But this isn't a dream.
I could feel his hands around my throat.

"Forever, forever, forever…"

Matthew's voice is echoing in the room and in my head till I feel tired and stop breathing.
