Chapter 18: Brothers
"And it never really made sense, but to me it did..." Alissa trailed off, leaning against the basement staircase and staring straight at the helpless, masked victim that sat locked to a chair.
It wasn't clear whether the woman was alive or not, but as long as they were human, Alissa wouldn't hesitate to strike up a conversation.
"Are you listening to me, Meredith? Was that your name? Meredith?" Alissa stared blankly ahead, her eye bags being evident even in the darkness.
Suddenly, she heard the door open and quickly turned out.
"Wyatt, please, I'm begging you just l-let me go! I promise I won't do anything ever again, I'll do whatever you say just please let me go!" Her rambling and plea for help was ignored by Wyatt; who walked straight into the room, locking it behind him.
Alissa banged her head slowly against the concrete stairs, tears escaping her now bloodshot red eyes. Her once plump lips had been cracked, along with her throat being dry. It had been 14 hours since she had any water or food, and she wouldn't hesitate to find some.
"Wyatt, can I at least get some food? I know you can hear me."
In order to relax her swollen eyes, she shut them - sighing as she mumbled random phrases to herself. Alissa heard the sound of faint squeaking come from around her. She shuffled around in her restraints, trying to find the source of the noise. Once she did, she grabbed it in her hands, feeling around it to see what it was. Since it was almost pitch dark, Alissa had to rely on her other senses in order to somewhat survive.
"Shh, it's okay..." She brought the thing closer to her mouth, whispering to it comfortingly.
Alissa weeped tears, closing her eyes in case God made her see what she was about to do. She used the power in both of her hands to crush the furry animal, sobbing uncontrollably as she did so. The hunger raged throughout the pits of her empty stomach, manipulating her tastebuds and sense of smell to devour the animal. She closed her nose, hoping the texture wouldn't taste as bad as the smell would. Her eyes shut tighter, gulping as she opened her mouth to eat the small mouse.

Andrew managed to pick up Lily's body - the weight of the brick weighing him down. He dumped her body at the end of the lake, hoping it would be heavy enough to sink the body without notice.
Once he tossed his deceased friend into the lake, he cleaned off the gun, later throwing it along with Lily's body. Out of curiosity, Andrew went around the front door - which to his surprise was open. He welcomed himself inside, looking around the living room interior.
"Just like I remembered..." He smiled to himself while walking upstairs, trying to be as quiet as possible.
As he made it to the upstairs, the nostalgia was too hard for him to control. Flashbacks rushed through his head like the drugs he takes. The childhood memories brought him a joy cocaine never could. He continued to walk around upstairs, entering what seemed like the master bedroom.
"Some shitty interior designing, Wyatt." Andrew chuckled to himself, smirking as he looked around to properly examine the room.

"Shut up." Wyatt sternly instructed Alissa, holding her head down on the steel bed.
"W-Wyatt, please stop! We have a child together at least don't do this on me!"
Wyatt once again ignored her pleas, filling up the syringe with the last of the heroin.
Alissa screamed as loud as she could, begging him countless times to stop. Her vocal chords had started to lose their strength - causing her to stop yelling.
"Wyatt, baby, please. I-I'll help you, okay? I promise I'll help you just please stop, I'm fucking begging you, please stop."
"You don't have the guts to kill an ant."
"I will. Please, w-we can choose people we mutually hate and I won't be too affected by it trust me."
"I'll think about it, and stay still." Wyatt pressured her forehead, making sure it was put.
Alissa sniffled, repeatedly yanking on her restraints. The tears from the corner of her eyes started to make their way to her ear, somewhat clogging them.
"Oh my God, wait no, no. My e-ear's clogged." Alissa frantically stated, to which Wyatt sighed, getting up and grabbing a cotton swab.
He carefully it into her ear, softly wiggling it around until she sighed in relief - something she regret doing as she knew this could have been used as an excuse to stall him a little longer.
"B-babe?"
"What?"
"Please think about our child..."
Wyatt stared her coldly in the eyes.
"He'll be fine without you."
Alissa laid on the table, sighing as she closed her eyes - knowing what her fate had in store for her.
Suddenly, the knob of the basement door twisted, alerting both Wyatt and Alissa.
Alissa took this as her chance of escape. She pulled off the leather restraints with all her might, bruising her wrists slightly. Wyatt pushed her down, threatening to insert the needle straight into her heart instead of her bloodstream.
"Help! I'm in here, help!" Alissa called out, to which Wyatt punched her in the jaw, drawing bruises on his knuckles and her mouth bleeding out a little.
She attempted to fight him off, clawing at his eyes every chance she got. Before she knew it the two were aimlessly on the stairs. Wyatt had his hands wrapped firmly around Alissa's neck - adding more pressure till she would give up. Somehow, Alissa kicked open the basement door, making an escape for it, only to be blocked by Wyatt.
Behind him, stood a confused, slightly annoyed Andrew, staring at the two in disgust.
"A-Andrew. Please help." Alissa cried out, a little happy that her only chance of escape was right in front of her.
"I thought I was gonna kill her." Andrew replied.
OH MY GOD I DID THE PLOT TWIST FINALLY! Don't worry I was shook at myself when I thought about it, hopefully you guys are shocked to the fullest right. Comment your literal and current reaction after reading that ending.
What did you guys think? I wasn't going to let Alissa have it easy, don't worry. Do you think she will escape or do you think she's going to either die there or be held hostage for weird MK Ultra like experiments via Wyatt?
Thank you for all the reads, votes, comments & feedback!
