Chapter Seven (Sam)

"He who angers you conquers you."

~ Elizabeth Kenny

Sam doesn't know how long she'd been here. There was no indication of time at all in the room. But Sam can hear the rain stop and kind of feel the sun set.

It seems to be getting darker by the second and the fluorescent light overhead keeps going off and on, annoying Sam. She looks up to glare at it.

Then there is the room behind her, sending an unidentifiable chill to her back. She twists her neck to get a better look at it.

"Ow," She winces as she feels her neck being turned too hard. She focuses on the door, noticing a humming sound coming from it. She narrows her eyes, wondering what's behind that door.

Her stomach rumbles from the lack of food and she suddenly wants meat.

She turns her neck back to face the dirty table, wondering whether this creep is going to feed her.

As if on cue, he enters the room with a bottle of water. Sam glances at it and frowns, considering whether she should ask for it.

Who knows what he had put in there?

"Drink," He shoves the bottle in front of Sam's face, unscrewing the cap.

"What's in there?" Sam eyes the water, then the man, sceptically. "What'd you put in there? More drugs? Chemicals?"

The man let out an idle laugh, "Come on, Sammy. You really think I would drug you again? Who do you think I am?"

A kidnapper?

A creep?

A severely mentally sick dude?

There was about a million answers Sam can think of.

Sam didn't say anything as the water was forcefully shoves into her mouth. She chokes on it and coughs when he removes the bottle from her lips.

He pats her on the back, trying to smooth out the cough fit. Sam glares at him as her between coughs. "Don't touch me." She snaps. "Get your freaking hands off me!"

The man seems startled at the sudden anger that escaped from Sam. As she continues to cough, he grabs her neck in a chock hold.

"Do not talk to me like that," His glare was even harsher than Sam remembers. "You will accept the help I'm giving you!"

Sam didn't back down as she counters with one her own vicious glares. The man merely just smiles as he throws the unfinished water onto the dirty table, not letting go of Sam's neck.

"I didn't come here to argue with you," He says, staring into Sam's eyes as if deciding when to let go of her. If he's letting go of her.

Sam didn't break eye contact.

She wants to show him who's in control here.

She is going to show him who's in control here.

If only there is a way to distract him…

"Hey," Sam manages to choke out, "Tell me more about Madeline."

It was a long shot, she knows. But she'd seen what he's like when he was talking about his daughter.

Sam almost relaxed when he lets go of her neck and his gaze softens.

"She's about your age," He says, running a hand through his hair, an action Sam had ever actually seen anyone do before. "She looks a lot like you too."

Sam nods, trying to imagine what Madeline would look like.

"She had an identical twin sister," The man's expression alters immediately into hurt and sorrow. It's the first time here Sam had seen him like this. "Adeline."

Sam was now officially curious. What kind of daughters did this man have? The question is echoing through her mind that she didn't even realize she had asked aloud about Adeline.

He looks at her, and Sam can see the hurt leaking in his gaze. "She died."

Sam almost felt sorry for the man.

"Murdered."

The word makes Sam draw a sharp breath. This must all be hard on the family.

That must be one of the reasons why this man is a wacko.

"She was only fourteen." He continues and starts to walk around the room, seemingly to ignore Sam completely. "Maddie was devastated."

"I'm sorry," Sam hears herself say, but she wasn't sure if she means it or not.

The man didn't appear to hear her. If he did, he didn't address it. He continues to work around to room, stopping in front of the room that gave Sam the chills.

He looks at the door for a second, considering something. Sam wonders how the coldness didn't even seem to faze the man.

He takes out a key from his pocket, turning it in the keyhole of the room. Sam sits up straighter, cramming her neck again to see the door.

Maybe this room can be her way out of here.

She waits; the door opens with a loud screech.

A wave of coldness washes over Sam, making her shiver.

She blinks past the coldness, trying to see what was in that room.

Wait… Is that frost coming out of the room?

Sam blinks again, hearing the man move into the room and freezes, gasping at what she saw.

Six bodies.

Six bodies of blonde girls.

Six bodies of blonde girls just like her.

Six bodies of blonde girls just like her are killed by this man.

She fixes her look on the man, who is now huffing with effort as he pulls out a body.

That's when Sam realized what the room is.

It is a walk in freezer.

A walk in freezer that he uses to keep the bodies of dead girls.

Sam shivers, not sure if it was from the cold or the horror in the room.

God knows how long they've been here.

He huffs as he picks one of the girls up and hangs her over her shoulder, Sam wants to look away but she can't.

She recognizes the girl as Kaitlyn Hanson. She was in Ridgeway High a few years back. She was one of the only few classmates Sam didn't mind.

To see the life completely gone from her once bright green eyes, Sam couldn't help but wonder if she would end up like her.

He puts her body down near the door; her entire body was entirely damaged by the long time she was frozen in the room. Sam shivers again.

The man closes the door behind him, putting the body over his shoulder again and walks out of the room without another word.

"Wait!" Sam calls, "Where are you taking her?"

Sam was only half surprised as he walks back in the room again, Kaitlyn's body still on his shoulder. Her lifeless eyes were yet to be closed and it was scaring the shit out of Sam as it stares at her.

"You don't need to know." He replies harshly. Sam feels anger bubble up inside her.

"I do need to know," She raises her voice, ignoring the itch that was still in the back of her throat because of the water. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU TAKING HER?"

All the memories, even though there weren't that many, of Kaitlyn Hanson was now returning to Sam's mind.

All the times she offered to help Sam with her homework.

All the times she complimented Sam about her web show, even if she had a web show of her own.

All the times were in her class.

Sam now remembers hearing about Kaitlyn going missing. But at the time, she didn't think much of it because during summertime, high school kids were a bit crazy. Everyone except her parents always thought Kaitlyn just went on a road trip without telling them with her friends.

Sam couldn't even begin to imagine how devastated her parents are going to be when her body was discovered.

In a way, Sam thinks Kaitlyn is, was, one of her friends.

One of her friends that she was never going to see again.

"ANSWER ME, NOW!" She demands, glaring at the man with pure hatred.

But he turns, never looking back again. "Guess you'll just have to wait and find out."

The door closes behind him with a thud. Sam is breathing violently with anger.

She glances at the door behind her again, knowing that there are still five more girls in there.

Knowing there's at least five more parents out there still worried about them.

More anger enters her, and she screams from the top of her lungs.

She doesn't know that no one can hear her.

She doesn't know that the man has already left.

She doesn't know what he is going to do to Kaitlyn.

She doesn't know what's going to happen to the five other girls.

She doesn't know what's going to happen to her.

She doesn't know who the man is.

She doesn't know why the man is doing this.

One thing she does know is that no matter what happens, she is not giving up.

She stops screaming after her throat starts to burn. She glares at the water bottle on the dirty table.

For the first time, the ropes behind her, the one that tied up her hand, is beginning to burn.

For the first time, she sees how dangerous this man really is.

And for the first time, her hope of getting out of here almost disappeared completely.
