Chapter 9 -- The Prize
Monsters: The MousetrapThe monster had taken the girl underground, he carried her in his arms as he thumped towards his mistress’ chambers. He had done his job reluctantly but out of necessity, no one else would come and save him and if he didn’t do what she said, then she would kill them all.
He frowned to himself, listening to the water in the sewer drip slowly down, the floor was a little wet due to the little rain shower earlier that morning and he wondered if any of the girls had gotten wet. He didn’t want them catching a cold.
He looked down at the girl in his arms, she had fallen asleep from the spell when he had gotten her an hour ago and was still asleep. If she didn’t wake up soon, then his mistress would take advantage of that and throw cold water on her to wake her up.
Then she might get pneumonia because his mistress didn’t let them change clothes except like once a month. She was that cruel to them, despite her need for them. He shook the girl in his arms a little to try and cause her to stir.
They were approaching the chambers, his hulking footsteps would alert his mistress before he even got to the door. Every time this happened, he could always hear her pacing about in her room as she waited anxiously. She always had this need for perfection, no room for error.
And that was the reason for this whole problem in the first place, her witchcraft brought them and now it has sealed their fates until he could be rescued by a girl who could see past his monstrous exterior.
“You’re back already, Kiki?” His mistress cooed as she had the doors opened for him to enter. “Who have you brought this time?” She asked all excited, approaching him.
He crouched down as he set the girl in his arms on her feet, she was barely conscious but when the guards started to tie her up, she was ready for a fight. She started kicking and screaming at them before they covered as well as got her restrained.
“You really do know how to pick them, huh, Kiki? All the ones you’ve gotten for me lately are so feisty.” She walked up to him and caressed his chest. He said nothing as she did this, he neither liked it nor disliked it. In fact, he had gotten indifferent to it over the past several years.
She smirked at him as his mouth turned into an even bigger frown. “Well, you’re free to go, you monster. Look at what you’ve done. You’ve stolen so many girls, Kiki. You’re the real criminal.” She nagged him.
His shoulders slouched solemnly as he remembered every single one of them. He had never forgotten, nor had he been able to lift the guilt off his shoulders. She was right, he was the one that did all her dirty work. All she did was take what she wanted and leave them behind. He was the one who kidnapped them.
He turned away as he went back out of the chambers. He saw in the corner of his eye as the girl he had kidnapped widened her eyes at his appearance but also tried to run to him for help. That’s what they always did. He was a monstrosity but he was allowed to leave, so they would try to cooperate with the beast.
He had no say in this, he was set to be a monster forever. His mistress had said it, she had been the one that had made him this way in the first place. Just because of that small mistake he had made in his past, he regretted it to the point that he had to become this.
But there was no way in hell that he would take back his decision. He was certain of that. He would never be willing to see someone older than him like that. He was a gentleman, a man of honor, he was raised to believe that his significant other would be younger than him.
A knock on his door took him out of his reverie and he grunted once in acknowledgement.
“Time for your dinner, monster.” The guard greeted him setting a giant plate of food in front of him. He picked up a rock and threw it at Kiki before leaving.
Kiki sighed inwardly as he grabbed his dinner and devoured it in one go. He knew that his mistress gave him the best food. She needed him at his best in order for her to look her best. He looked down at his empty plate as he remembered the girl he had just taken. The blonde streak in her hair and big eyes that looked around and followed his spell.
This was not the way his life was supposed to be. He was supposed to be free, out and about, celebrating what he considered his 21st birthday. He was supposed to be with his friends, and everyone that had ever cared about him.
He looked through the bars that he had for walls as he saw the older women staring at him. They always did that, he knew that they probably blamed him for their problem. He saw their glares sometimes, but some of them would gaze at him with pitiful eyes.
Those ones he liked, they knew he was in the same boat as them. Unwilling, a prisoner of his demanding mistress. Someone who had no choice but to accept his fate.
The keys clanged as the new girl got thrown into her stall. She had been turned into one of the elderly. He heard footsteps as his mistress walked towards him, renewed and rejuvenated. She approached him slowly, “Well, Kiki, that was delicious. Thanks for that. I will let you know when I need a new one.” She told him.
He turned away from her and she made him look back at her immediately.
“After all, Jeong Hyosung needs to stay young forever.” She walked away, glancing at herself in the mirror she had placed in his room, before leaving.
He turned to look at his ugly reflection, his huge underbite, his ugly huge teeth, his unkempt hair that grew out in weird places, his green skin color, and his body shape. He growled at his horrendous appearance before throwing a punch and shattering that mirror into bits.
He was not going to stay like this forever, there was no way. Someone had to come and save him, someone just had to.
He brushed away the wetness from his eyes as he sat of his pile of straw to sleep on. There was no way Hyosung would win this war, he just had to find the girl to save him.
