Erik kept Lauren in the torture chamber for three days.
After day one Amanda figured out how to open the window and throw food down to the screaming Lauren.
Erik walked in on Amanda playing the piano trying to drown out Lauren
I'm 15 for a
moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just
dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a
moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making
our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to
buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than
this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a
moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A
family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And
I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15
there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose
yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15,
there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years
to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another
blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're
moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another
moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you
are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33
you're on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still
time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's
never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
BRAVO TO THOSE WHO READ THAT!
"That was.. Breath taking" Erik said. She spun around blushing.
"Those hours of practice paid off huh?" She said
He smiled.
"Mind if i try?" he asked Amanda made room on the bench.
"Sing it once again for me." She hummed the tune and Erik soon mastered the song.
They starting singing it together. Several times. Erik kept improving Amanda's voice and She corrected him on a few notes on the piano.
They played another song, of Amanda's choosing.
She picked one her favorites
It was dark. She liked it.
ALL
OF YOUR LIFE NOW
YOU HAVE DENIED
THERE'D BE A TIME
WHEN
YOU'D EVER DIE
STILL IT'S BEEN RUMORED THIS THING MUST BE
WHY
IS IT THEN THAT YOU ACT SURPRISED
WHEN I APPEAR NOW TO BE YOUR
GUIDE
WHY DO YOU HESITATE TO FOLLOW ME
SEE IT RISING
STARE
AND WONDER
HEAR IT BECKON
YOU TO DANCE
FEEL IT HOLD
YOU
TAKE YOU UNDER
I'M YOUR GOD OF SECOND CHANCE
Erik was watching her lips all through the song. She stopped not half way through to look at him. He didn't look away.
'he's so close' Amanda thought.
'Is that what he wants?' she moved a little forward to see. He still didn't move back.
Their lips where only half a breath away. And almost less than that.
"WHY DID THE MUSIC STOP!" Lauren yelled from the torture chamber.
"OH LORD! YOU BETTER NOT BE DOING WHAT I THINK YOU ARE!"
They broke from their trance and Erik stood and shook himself off and left.
Amanda "Forgot" to feed Lauren that night.
The next morning Erik woke up to the smell of coffee. His nose crinkled.
Neither he nor Amanda drank the vial black substance. Only... oh no.
He lept from his coffin and threw open the door.
A bucket of lake water made contact with his head. It had been hiding above his door.
"Morbid Erik." Lauren said smiling standing in the living room.
"Yet so incredibly like you...Put the exit to the chamber where your victim would last resort.
She had figured it out.
"So simple." She giggled.
"To put the trigger to the door to the chamber in the noose itself."
Erik had always liked it like that. So when his vicitms hung themselves in the chamber the door would open and cold air would hit their face. But they couldn't save themselves. He found it amusing.
Damn her.
