Chapter 27 The Bloody Gift
Chapter 27 The Bloody Gift
Feeling that Molly's body was stiff in his arms, Brian laughed grimly. He slightly leaned to one side and picked up the remote control. He then turned the TV on in front of him and switched to a video.
Molly watched in fear. At the beginning, she saw a pair of green eyes like two rays of glimmering light in the darkness. Molly shivered as the eyes looked horrible and scary.
Then suddenly, she heard an animal let out a savage howl.
Listening to such a frightful sound from the TV, Molly swallowed as a wave of chill crept in her body. The sound seemed to belong to a wild dog. She had no idea why Brian had made her watch this. In such a quiet place and in such weird atmosphere, the pair of creepy eyes made Molly's hair stand on end as she trembled with terror.
All of a sudden, something thumped to the ground with a bang.
Molly was breathless with fear. She had a hunch that the object which fell down to ground was a person!
The animal let out a low, heavy sound again.
The pair of green eyes looked smaller than before, because they were slightly narrowed this time. Then after a little while, the animal's voice sounded fiercer, which scared the life out of Molly.
"Where am I?" a man's voice came from the TV. He sounded frightened.
Molly furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing him and fixed her eyes on the TV. Although she could only see those green eyes, hear the dreadful howl of an animal and a man's frightened voice, she was able to recognize the voice the moment she heard it. It was David in the video!
After realizing this, Molly was stunned and suddenly turned her head and looked at Brian beside her. He looked calm and indifferent, seemingly uninterested in this...
"Woooh... Howl..."
The animal's sound got increasingly heavier and more vicious as if it was about to attack something any moment.
Amidst the dark, David knew that he was at a dangerous place. He tried to escape, but he hit the iron fence which was invisible in the dim light. The dog seemed to be infuriated by the noise that David had made when he hit the fence. Then, a howling came again followed by a harsh painful scream.
"Ouch..." David cried, feeling a terrible pain. "You are such a cruel beast! Let go of me..."
"Woooh..." The dog continued howling.
"Ahhh... Ouch... Let go of me.... Ah..."
"Bang!" A loud crash was heard once again.
Noises and cries like those kept coming from the TV. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
They became more and more horrifying. The howling of the dog, the screaming of David and the sounds of David's bones being cracked gave Molly the creeps. She stared at the TV with her eyes wide open as if she wanted to see more clearly and figure out what was happening in the dark.
"Wooh... Wooh..." The dog kept on howling.
Gradually, the shrill screaming stopped. The sound caused by David's struggling and hitting the fence eventually faded. Only a dog's low, long howl could be heard in the dark as if it was declaring its victory. Its howling seemed full of excitement after it had succeeded in attacking a person.
Molly's breath intensified and her heart raced. She couldn't see what was going on inside. However, she tried to imagine what had happened through those dreadful sounds. Even if she could only see the pair of green eyes which moved quickly, she was able to imagine the whole scene.
Sitting extremely uptight as she shuddered in horror, Molly was surprised to see the TV screen suddenly lit up.
For an instant, Molly saw the situation clearly via the TV screen. Confirming her thoughts with her own eyes, she grew totally scared and went deathly pale at that moment. Molly shivered, and her teeth chattered helplessly while her lips slightly trembled.
The screen revealed a strong, powerful mastiff which was squatting down in a corner. Being annoyed by the light, it shook its large head. It had eyes as sharp as the wolf's, which were slightly narrowed, seemingly very wild and arrogant.
Red bloodstains were all around it and the grass had been dyed red. Some items were laid scattered here and there. In front of the mastiff was a badly mutilated man, looking violently devoured. The man looked helpless as he was covered with blood, lacerated, and bruised all over. Molly thought that he was dead but his body twitched, so it seemed that he was still alive.
Molly's teeth kept on chattering uncontrollably while her whole body was trembling. She felt that anybody in the villa would have heard the sound made by her teeth because it was too loud. She continued to stare at the TV. Molly was so horrified that her body seemed to be paralyzed in fear and she wasn't able to look away. Fear had consumed her as she sat on the sofa motionless.
"Do you like my first gift?" Brian spoke in a cold and elegant voice. The callous sound of his voice seemed more terrifying than what she had seen on the TV. Brian looked at Molly with a gleam shining in his eyes and flashed her a slight smile.
His words made Molly retch.
Her stomach was churning, which made her very uncomfortable. She was about to stand up to vomit, but Brian tightly held her in his arms and prevented her from standing up.
"Eeh... Eh..."
Molly covered her mouth and retched. She suddenly felt that she was lucky because she had eaten little the whole day. Otherwise, she would've vomited something disgusting. Of course, she was not in any mood to think about this since only the bloody scene on the screen and the terrible howling of the dog ran through her mind at that moment.
Raising a corner of his lips, Brian released Molly from his grip. Molly had endured the discomfort for a while, so the moment Brian slightly loosened his grip, she stood up and ran outside immediately.
But before she left the room, Brian heard her shout hysterically," You're totally insane!"
