Chapter 55: chapter 55

⚠️Warning:⚠️The following content maybe sensitive to some readers._____Eleanor's POV,A sweat rolled off my forehead. Anytime Kylen could wakeup. But I wouldn't be knowing if it's him or the killer him.I had to somehow grab my phone or the dose gun from my drawer.Being prepared for the worst case is what mum taught me always.I slowly edged to my left freeing my left leg from his grip. Placing a cushion, I moved my other leg, holding my breath tighter.Kylen's head surfed on the cushion successfully. Keeping turtle steps, because wooden floor was way too cracky in this weather. And the thick silence except the wall clock ticking made it core difficult.I steadily walked in the direction towards the room. A racing heartbeat of mine accompanying my footsteps.I was almost to the entrance, when I was tugged by my head.Flinching my eyes I knew I had to face the other him today.No time to be ready would be a lame execuse because I have been waiting to give it a shot. To save him.His fear would be gone...the best case.Worst case...I die. My hair fisted in his hands as he made me face him.Shiver took me over, seeing the red veins bulging out in his eyes, his eyebrows arched to higher extents and a deadly frown replaced his tender lips.I could barely recognize him as Kylen.Despite his grip plunged onto root of my hair,"It's me. You gotta listen to your Nor.", I mustered my strength, wanting him to recollect my voice.He let out a deadly growl.Followed by me experiencing a huge thrust until I crashed my head to one of the sharp corners of the wooden rack.Blood oozed out from the right side of my head and lower lip got a slant cut.I was just feeling the burn when my legs were pulled, and I fell on my chin."Kylen! It's Eleanor. You have to fight for me.", I shouted.He flipped me, dragging me over the floor. None of my words impacted him. Not even slight touch.He had a death wish over me. I sensed it. He wouldn't stop until it's done.My back rubbed against the hardness of floor."You must be there inside. Come on! It's only you who can save me from you."He was finding something to stab me.His eyes didn't blink the whole time as he gripped my foot. He was a monster in real.I had no other choice but to save me first. Joggling my legs, I freed one of them from his grip. Kicking him hard in his belly with my heels, I crawled backwards hurriedly. My eyes were teary.A trail of snarls left his mouth. He was definitely in pain.But I couldn't get myself weak. When Kylen wakes up to real him, I don't want him to regret for what he did.Pulling over the drawer, I grabbed the medicinal gun.Stepping out of the room, I gripped the gun in my hand, aiming outwards.Finding him closer to me, I triggered it.Unbelievable to me, he moved like wind. The next second, he growled in a high pitch, echoing all over.My body trembled with horror striking all over as he snatched the gun and flung it over to side of the main door.He broke a wooden chair, clenching my neck."Please.", I begged him, "Wake up for me."My voice barely left my mouth.He dropped me down, astonishingly. I fell on my arms, hurting my elbows.Before I knew it, he took a wooden piece and stabbed it straight into my left ankle."Ahhhhh!", I shrieked loudly with hot tears gushing out of my eyes.The wooden piece pierced my flesh.He pounced over. Before he could stab me again, I grabbed handful of mud from a pot lying on the floor and pitched it over his face.The mud blocked his eyes as he rubbed them vigorously.I had bought some time.I hurriedly removed the wooden piece from my ankle in a haste, breathing the pain.It stung me harder after the process.I tried to get on my feet but crumbled down.Probably a small piece of it still remained under my skin.He started to move again.He was beyond pissed off. He wanted me dead at any cost."Kylen! Please."He stared at me with devilish look before stamping my right palm like it was a pile of dirt.His shoe left a harsh impress on my palm.My phone buzzed and he chased into room like an animal, drawn to the noise.Muffling my screams, I rolled under the couch.I thought I could save him. He would fight against him for me. How wrong was I?! My whole body was burning in internal flames. I couldn't do it anymore.He was searching for me already. He walked back and forth while I fisted my mouth to not to bawl out of torment.I don't know how long this couch could hid me.Now I understood why the maid was so traumatized. Why Kylen himself avoided to sleep.What his mother must have gone through when her own son did this to her.I let down grandma. I let down Sam. They thought I would be the last hope of him.Here I'm on verge of dieing.If I black out, I might escape the suffering of death.Tears flooded. My knees cramped in pool of blood.He was sniffing the smell of blood like a hunter. In no time, he would find me here.To my shock, my main-door was knocked."Ela! It is Shawn."Shawn?Kylen was in the bedroom, finding me."Are you there? Dad sent me here to give you some presents. That's it."Shawn had told me to stay cautious and I failed. Terribly!I wanted to scream, help!But I knew the rate of survival I had. If Kylen saw him, he wouldn't stop until he hunted down Shawn.Hiding beneath the couch was suffocating me already."It's ok. I'll keep the box outside. Take it later, in case you are inside."Kylen got out of room in rage, provoked by hearing a new voice.Shawn don't go. Please don't. I prayed.We were back to pin drop silence."No.", I cried.He growled again and I flinched locking my ears as Kylen's footsteps got distinct. He must have gone to kitchen continuing to growl.I heard the main-door getting knocked down. In no time, the door fell apart.The adrenaline rushed inside me.Shawn remained silent, purposefully.The gun. It lied there. Shawn has to see it somehow.I extended my right hand, tapping over the floor. Though I couldn't see him, I tried pointing my hand towards the gun.In a moment, I was pulled outwards from the couch making me scream out of my lungs in terror."Sh! It's me.", Shawn whispered.He wiped my face, "Breathe."A stored, loud cry came out of my throat attracting the demon.He stood there aiming a knife at me.Shawn bent over swiftly, picking the gun.Everything went so fast.Shawn covered me with one arm, letting me fall over his chest while he fired at Kylen.He collapsed with a thud and I peeped through corner of my eyes.A tear escaped his eyes as I saw the old Kylen flinch for a moment, before the dose did its work, shutting him down.
