Before entering the dressing room, Lauren had placed the âDo Not Useâ sign outside the door, eliminating any chances of someone coming in.
As Lauren walked down the room, she slid the sharp dagger across the wooden boards, creating a terrifying hissing sound.
The more Raegan remained silent, the more excited Lauren became.
She felt like she was playing hide and seek.
With a cackle, Lauren said, âIâm going to start counting down the seconds now.
When I find you, for every second that passesâ¦â Lauren paused and giggled, as if she could barely contain her glee.
âIâll give you a new cut! If you hurry out now, youâll suffer less.
â
After saying that, Lauren pushed open the door of the fourth booth, which also turned out to be empty.
She laughed as she counted, âTen, eleven, twelveâ¦â
By the time Lauren reached the door of the sixth booth, she had counted to forty.
Once again, a loud bang resounded through the room.
âs BunnyBookery But this time, the door didnât budge.
Unlike the other doors, this one was locked from the inside.

Lauren instantly crouched down and, through the space below the door, peeked into the booth, where she saw a pair of black shoes inside.
Letting out another maniacal laugh, Lauren swung the knife in and said, âFound you!â
The owner of the black shoes frantically moved back, startled by the knife.
Lauren swung the knife again, but this time, she aimed at the door.
Again and again, she stabbed the door with the knife like a mad woman.
âWait!â Raeganâs trembling voice finally came from within.
âWhat do you want? Youâre making a mistake.
Do you want to go to jail?â
Once again, Lauren let out a bone-chilling Laugh.
Then, she spat, âMy face and my body are completely ruined! Do you think Iâm afraid of going to jail?â
After a pause, Raeganâs firm voice came from inside the booth.
âYou had set me up first, remember? Besides, Iâm not the one who ruined your face or your body.
You should find the person responsible for 5, Lauren stared at the knife marks at the door with her chin tucked toward her neck and a mad glint in her eyes.
âThe person responsible for my suffering is Mitchel!â
Hearing this, Raegan felt a twinge of surprise.
She couldnât accept that Mitchel was capable of such a thing.
âBack then, Mitchel didnât completely push you into the fire, right?â she ventured.
âHe left me an escape route that was worse than that,â Lauren spat.
âI only had two choices.
Either walk into the fire or go to the police station.
What other choice did I have?â
Her eyes were full of resentment.
Clenching her teeth, Lauren continued, âI was an esteemed lady of Ardlens, leading a life envied by all.
How could I possibly end up in jail? Even death would have been better!â
Just recalling the scene filled her with newfound fury, causing her to stab the door again.
âItâs all because of you, you bitch! If it werenât for you, I wouldnât have ended up like this.
Until Mitchel met you, he was never so heartless toward me!â
As she spoke, Lauren crazily stabbed the door over and over again, filling Raeganâs heart with fear.
Raegan managed to convince Lauren, âLauren, didnât you end up like this because of your own choices? You canât blame anyone else! Having the waiter doctor my drink wonât hold you behind bars forever.
Even if you turn yourself in, you wonât be sentenced for long.
You were given a chance, but you chose the wrong path, allowing your face and body to be ruined.
Who can you blame but yourself?â
