She looked at me as I walked towards the couch. Her gaze, so intense, as if she can see right through me. Well, little does she know that she's only seeing nothing. I sat down the couch and looked at her face, her expression will definitely mislead anyone into thinking that everything's fine. She moved closer to me, then reached for something under her bra while looking at me. I kept eye contact with her.

"Well, now. Is this what you're looking for?"  *shows key*
"..."
"You could've took this key from my bra and released yourself while I was asleep."
"Wha- Ho-"
"I wouldn't mind if you did."  *blushes*
"..."
"Now, why are you down here? Hmm?"
"I came down for the bathroom."
"Oh, right, right. Mm-hmm."
"..."
"You knew there was a bathroom upstairs, and yet, you insisted on coming downstairs. I'm quite curious about that."
"I nee-"

She pushed me down the couch before I could finish speaking. She started to look at me intensely while tightly gripping my shoulder, but I kept my face stern.

"You really thought I've gone soft, did you? You really thought you can get comfortable with me now, did you? I only let my guard down earlier with you to at least enjoy your company. But for you to take advantage of my vulnerability to plot your escape from me? To run from me? Well, now, aren't you clever, to let me fall asleep in your embrace. Though, I can't say I enjoyed it, but what you did afterwards was unforgivable! YOU'RE NEVER GETTING OUT OF HERE. YOU'RE STAYING HERE WITH ME, UNTIL YOU DIE. UNDERSTAND?!"

Her tone was aggressive, her expression was frightening. I kept my breathing as steady and calm as possible, but I'm starting to panic in my mind.

("I messed up, I didn't think she'd realize. I underestimated her, and now she's gonna harm my computer")

She started to laugh maniacally, then she took out a bat from behind her and stared back to me.

"When you were unconscious, of course I took that chance to hide everything you might suspect. I made my house look normal and ordinary, but oh, no, no. Even if you're smart, I'm always a step ahead of you. You can never outsmart me, for I know you very well. You can't plan your way out of here, and even if you did, I'll stop that from happening. Now, for your punishment on another, yet again, cute little attempt, I guess I'll go break something tonight."

She stood up and walked towards the staircase. I knew she's gonna go for my computer, I can see it in her eyes. I immediately stood up the couch and grabbed a hold of her hand. I held her wrist tightly to prevent her from going any further, only to realize, that what I did was a mistake. She turned her head back to be and stared straight at me with a straight face.

"W....What are you doing, love? Why are you holding my wrist so tightly?"
"..."
"Ohh, ho, ho. Guess I'll have to teach you a lesson, then."

She went back down the stairs and pushed me down. I deflected the bat as she swung it to my side, but then she immediately kicked my head. I felt very dizzy after that kick, but I kept my consciousness as I try to stand up. She kicked my abdomen as soon as I stood up, causing me to kneel down the ground. I gasped for breath and coughed out a little blood, then she held my head up to talk to me.

"I knew you we're pretty strong, but I never knew you we're a terrible fighter. You can't even defend yourself."
"I....I would never fight.....if...not...n-necessary.."  *coughs*
"Aww, what a gentleman."

She shoved my head down then climbed back up the stairs. I slowly got up on my feet and climbed the stairs. Before I can even reach the top the staircase, I suddenly hear breaking and crashing in the bedroom. I couldn't help but feel fury inside me, my expression went so grim, and my fists balled up themselves. When I reached the door, I can see pieces of keycaps from my keyboard on the floor. My monitor is completely broken, and my mouse is shattered. She turned towards the system unit, my mind went blank from the thought of what's about to happen.

"Wait, NO! DON-"

*CRASH!* *THUMP!* *WHACK!*

She struck my system unit with the bat three times while laughing maniacally. She's breathing heavily as she slowly turned her eyes to me. I looked at her straight in the eye, but I couldn't say anything. She slowly walked towards me while dragging the bat behind her.

"Well, now. Ain't that a beautiful sight of destruction? Guess I'll cross that off the list now."
"What...list..?"
"Well, my list of anything that'll get in my way to you. And now, since that machine is gone, you have nothing else to think about other than me. Then, you'll eventually learn to love me, LIKE YOU SHOULD."
"Heh....Do you really think...that would happen.........after what you've done?"
"Oh yes, I'll make it happen. NO. MATTER. WHAT."
"Heh...heheh......I'll...make you...regret that..."  *smiles*
"Aww, what are you gonna do about it?"
*coughs*  "Just....you..wait...heh.."
"Ugh, what's with the sinister laughter. It doesn't suit you at all. Don't be such a try-hard to be intimidating."
"...heh.....and here I am....thinking that..you knew me....very well..."
"Alright, that's enough misbehavior for today. Time to put you to sleep."

She stood up and prepared to swing her bat on my head, but I couldn't help but put a cocky grin on my face.

"Ah shit....here we go again...."
