*Drip*
"Hmmmnnggh..." Water dripped on Alexandria's face, making her slowly wake up. When opening her eyes, there was nothing but darkness with a hint of light from afar. Her eyesight was fuzzy, but she eventually regained it back. There was a slight stench of trash, which made her flinch, and when Alexandria made some movement, she felt something around herselfTryingng to get up wasn't easy since Alexandria couldn't use her arms, hands, and legs. She realized that the rope was tied around her. "What the...?"
"So you're finally awake," said a deep masculine voice.
Alexandria recognized the voice all too well; it was a voice that she hoped she wouldn't have to hear. Although it was difficult to see, she noticed a figure sitting in the farther corner of the building. Then, a flashlight was turned on, and she saw Elliot's face; the light gave him a terrifying appearance.
He looked like a demon from hell.
"Y-You!!"
Elliot smirked as he kept the flashlight beam on himself; he wanted her to see him. Seeing her in a vulnerable state made him feel...happy and powerful. He only had the opportunity to be alone with her in class, or at that moment, he danced with her.
The situation changed, and he could finally be alone with Alexandria, who made him do heinous things. The one who believed was the cause of his misery. Initially, Elliot wanted to tame and control her, to feel her. After his crimes were caught, he wanted to kill her since she was the reason for his killing his wife. Now that Alexandria was before him, those feelings evaporated. Elliot finally took Alexandria for himself. "After all this time, I would have never imagined that you were beneath me. Ever since you became my student, you have always eyed me with defiance. You thought you were better than me. Now look at you; pride went away."
"Y-YOU'RE FUCKING INSANE! DEFY YOU!? YOU DELIGHTED IN MAKING ALL OF US MISERABLE BECAUSE YOU WERE! WHY WOULD I FEAR A COWARD!?"
Elliot sat silently as her words echoed in his mind; she called him a coward. He knew he was no coward; he never hid who he was. "Call me what you want; I am no coward. If you didn't defy me, none of this would've happened. Your defiance made me notice you and want to know you." The former Professor stood from his seat and slowly walked toward her with the flashlight. Alexandria wanted to move away from him, but the ropes refrained her. He stopped a couple of inches away, looking at her. "You were the first to defy me, to face me. No one has ever done what you did. It motivated me to understand why I wanted to be on top. When I finally realized that you would never give up, it made wme ant to know you. You made me feel something I never felt for a woman: need and desire."
Alexandria felt horrified hearing her former Professor speak the way he did. His reasoning was beyond insane, and his pride couldn't comprehend how someone would go against him. However, Elliot's pride became a sick obsession. "Y-You're sick! You are mentally unstable, whose pride and arrogance as a lawyer made you think you can do or have whatever you want!"
"I can have whatever I want. People who believe they can't are nothing but weaklings who give up too easily." Elliot knelt before her; Alexandria tried to crawl away, but it was vain.
The young woman tried to act strong, but deep down, she was terrified. Elliot was a dangerous criminal who had no hesitation to kill those he deemed a threat. "And you don't think you're weak!? Ha! Your sick mind so blinds you with the fact that you are nothing more than a man-child who couldn't accept no because of your misconception of you being perfect!" Alexandria chuckled due to her fear and the fact she found his reasoning funny. "If you were perfect, then you wouldn't have been caught for murder! Your narcissism made you slip up! IDIOT!" Alexandria laughed and couldn't help it. All her mixed emotions came together, and she couldn't help herself.
Alexandria wanted to let it out; she also laughed due to exhaustion.
Elliot watched her laugh at him. He wanted to see her afraid, to regain his control and power. She was still defying him, trying to edge him on, but he would not let her win.
No.
Even the strongest souls had their weaknesses, and he knew how to destroy her spirit. "Yes, keep on laughing. It was laughable seeing your friends' agonizing faces when I took their lives." The laughs slowly died down; Elliot smirked. He knew that he had her attention. "When I smashed their heads to a blood pulp. That friend, Max, was the easy one as he died instantly when I hit his head with the bat. That woman, Jenny, told me of who you were hiding with. She was strong at first, but while I was breaking her legs, she finally gave in. You friend betrayed you and I ensured she knew it when I hit the final blow."
Tears dripped from Alexandria's eyes as she heard about her friends' murder. "WHY!? WHY ME!? YOU COULD OF PLANNED TO HAVE ME EXPELLED OR RUIN MY REPUTATION! WHY THIS!?"
"I told you before, you defied me. Your defiance brought a fire in me that no woman ever did. Your defiance and beauty made me think for you constantly, making me desire you. Making me want to..." Elliot slowly touched Alexandria's leg, making her violently flinch away from him. "...touch you. Make you realize who truly is superior. You made me kill my worthless wife, your neighbor, and your friends."
"Y-You killed Quinn!?"
Alexandria was ignored as Elliot continued, "I had to have you and I eventually will." He slowly stood up.
"YOU SICK BASTARD! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS! I AM NOTHING MORE THAN WEIGHT THAT WILL CREATE TROUBLE FOR YOU!"
"I know, but I await specific orders to escape this forsaken state. Before I leave and have everything that I need, I will finally have you and destroy that defiance that made me crazed. I will enjoy seeing your suffering and defeat. Once I am done, my lust and power will be repelnnished and there will be no more use for you."
"Wh-What...?"
"Now get your rest and take advantage of living your life to the fullest before I take it away."
Alexandria trembled as tears dripped more. Elliot wanted to kill her after he was done using her. She looked at the closed window but felt so far away; the moon was bright. "Richard, please help!"
