The thoughts that Susan was alright made
excitement spread through my system, I was so happy that the words; “Susan is
still safe?!” slipped out of my mouth. Aaron heard it, I had no choice but to
reveal myself. I stood up and walked towards Aaron, “where is she?” I asked.
Aaron looked at me in disbelief, “how did you end up here? What are you doing
in my house?” Aaron had a bottle of beer in his hand, he reeked of beer. He
stood to his feet with the bottle of beer still in his hand, then he started
walking to my direction, “You are very foolish for coming to this house!” Aaron
was now at arms length from me, he had a twisted smile on his face. The next
thing I felt was, the bottle in Aaron’s hand collided with my head. The hit was
heavy, everything around me became bleak and started turning in circles. I fell
to the ground and watched the ceiling rotate in a clockwise motion.
Then I felt a hand on my collar lift me up from the ground, “Suusssaaan beelllooonnggs tttooooo mmmeee! Aaaannnndddd yyyyooooouuuuu wwwwiiiiiillll ddddooo nnnnoooottthhhiinggg aaaabbboooouuutt iiitttt!”The person attached to the hand said, everything was hazy and in an awful slow motion. By the time my vision became clearer,Aaron already swung the broken bottle in his hand aiming for my neck. “Wait!” I yelled, Aaron halted, I already felt the tip of the bottle on my neck. “You don’t want to get life imprisonment for killing me,” I said. Moses started laughing, his laughter was loud enough to wake a dead man buried in another country. “Thank you for caring! But I intend to bury you once I am done killing you, don’t worry, I won’t be charged for any crime because nobody will ever find you,”Aaron replied. “You are smart, I know... but I am trying to warn you of this.” Aaron turned his head to look at where my finger was pointing, a phone taped on the wall. Aaron giggled,
“That was where you hid right? So you taped the that phone there before you confronted me. You are quite smart yourself, but I will bury the phone right beside you after I kill you. No one will ever find that video its filming.”
“Even if you do bury me with the video, people will still see the video because I am streaming it live right now.”
“What are you talking about?!”
“That video is being streamed on Instagram right now, and I bet their are already viewers. A grown man beating up a sixteen year old, this is more than enough to cause an internet outrage in this day and age.”
Aaron ran towards the phone. I turned to look at the door, it was just few steps away. The best option for me at that was to get away from that psychotic maniac because even though the video is being streamed, I had just two followers, so the chances of anyone actually watching the video was very little. “Unlock this phone!” Aaron said as he handed me the phone, he was sweating like a kid caught in the act of doing something bad. “There is no point ending the video now, actually you might have already ended the video when you pressed on the power button.” I spoke as I typed in the password of the phone. “Are you playing with me?!” Aaron yelled as he wrapped his arm around my neck pressing on it. My face turned green an I gasped for air, “look! The live stream is still on,” I pointed the phone’s screen at Aaron’s face. Aaron’s jaw dropped as he loosened the grip he had on my neck, he tried taking some few steps back but he tripped on his own leg and fell on his butt. “Six million views?!” Aaron cried as beads of sweat trickled down his face.
I faced the phone’s screen to myself to take a look, it was really six million views. The views kept increasing, I had to grab this opportunity! “What have you done?!” Aaron as he pounded on the floor with his fist. “Now it’s just a matter of time before the police gets here, you already committed two crimes. Assault and attempt murder, in addition to abduction and murder. Oh that was actually four, well it will be four if anything happens to Susan. Actually I can also make all that crime go away.” As I spoke, my shoulders got higher and higher while Aaron’s kept shrinking, I was in complete control. “Haa haaaw?” Aaron said as he looked up to me, he was sweating buckets.
“I will tell the police and the public that all this was staged. And if I don’t press charges, nothing will happen to you.”
“What do you want?”
“Show me Susan.”
“Okay, okay I will take you to where she is, only if you promise me that you won’t press any charges.”
“Okay, I won’t press charges, take me to her now.”
I started walking to the door, unknown to Aaronthe live stream was still on. There is already an overwhelming amount of evidence enough to send him to prison, I didn’t need to press any charge against him. I felt a blow right at the back of my neck, the next second I was lying on the floor. It was very blurry, all I saw was Aaron’s feet split in five different parts, then everything went pitch black.
