Was It Really Love?
The house
In a remote area, near a big river, stood a huge house. The house looked normal from the outside but why is it in such an unreachable area? But who are we to question a stranger's choices?
And there stood a young lady near the window. Staring out. Looking at the greenery outside.
She moves to get a bit closer to the windows. A metal clang echoes throughout the house. She looks down at her feet bound with metal chains.
Dr Stafford
Trying to get closer to that window? *raises an eyebrow*
A man in his 40s sitting on couch. He has a recipe book in his right hand. He's looking at Claire, waiting for her response.
Claire Wilson
...its not like I will run away? why don't you trust me?
Claire Wilson
even after all these years?
Dr Stafford
*laughs* what is this? Emotional blackmail?
Dr Stafford
anyway, enough looking out
He stands up and walks towards Claire
Claire Wilson
.....why won't you lemme go? or even better, why don't you just k!ll me?
Dr Stafford
*stops in front of her* ohh darling, I would love to but I can't let something so precious go
Dr Stafford
So what would you like for dinner?
Claire Wilson

Dr Stafford
So human brain?
Dr Stafford

Claire Wilson
I don't want to eat anything like that.... I want....*thinks* I want tomato soup!
Dr Stafford
too bad, I've already made my decision, so be a good girl for me and eat whatever I give you to eat
Flash back
Wonder how she ended up in this situation?
Fives years ago, Claire was a content creator. She reviewed movies and gave her opinions on political and criminal stuff. People loved her because of her opinions and rightful judgement.
She was never wrong in her judgement.
Her opinions sparked debate but the people who took her side always won.
One day, her best friend is making reels with her while they are watching " Hannibal " ( 2001).
Camille
*holding up a camera, recording Claire whose eyes are fixed on the TV*
Camille
so Claire? what is your opinion on Hannibal?
Claire Wilson
....too early to say anything about him but I really like his complex character
Claire Wilson
But whatever he is doing is wrong
Claire Wilson
Something is seriously wrong with this man
Camille
how can you watch it with so much calmness? like I hate gore so this movie is a NO for me
Claire Wilson
well *shrugs* idk... I don't feel anything. This is all just fiction. It's just a movie and it's not like it's happening to me.
Claire Wilson
Tbh I won't care as long as its not my family
Claire Wilson
but I hope it doesn't happen to anyone in real life
Claire Wilson
You know I would have defended Hannibal if he killed only bad people like real criminals who did some badass things
Claire Wilson
in fact I would defend anyone who's killing those who really deserve it
Camille
*stops recording and saves it*
Yes, Camille posted it! And that video blew up!
and from then on, Dr Stafford had eyes on Claire.
Why? because she intrigues him... Her opinion had triggered something in him and he wants her to be on her side no matter what.
Claire Wilson
*unconscious in a chair*
Dr Stafford
*circling her like a predator*
Dr Stafford
'*sprinkles water on her face*
Claire Wilson
*stirs up* wtf...
Claire Wilson
*wakes up to find herself tied to the chair*
Claire Wilson
*head pounding*
Claire Wilson
*looks at Dr Stafford and then around*
Dr Stafford
nice place, ain't it?
Dr Stafford
Welcome to my basement!
That smile
Claire is the type of person who doesn't get scared easily. And handles the situation calmly.
Claire Wilson
what do you mean and why am I here?
Dr Stafford
Ohh Claire, I thought you are smart enough to figure it out on your own
Claire Wilson
*looking around the basement*
She is tied to a metal chair in a dark basement where the only source of light was a mercury bulb above her.
She noticed blood splashes on the floor of the basement.
And some metal appliances— chainsaw, cutter, knifes— in the corner.
And this man, in front of her, had this strange smile on his face that didn't reach his eyes.
Claire Wilson
....you are going to kill me?
Claire Wilson
are you a killer?
Dr Stafford
...umm no and yes
Dr Stafford
I'm not going to kill you, Claire.
Dr Stafford
I can but I won't
Claire Wilson
but you are a killer?
Claire Wilson
.....why did you kidnap me?
Claire Wilson
I've never met you
Dr Stafford
Because I want you. Stay with me and watch me k!ll my victims...and how I make the perfect delicacy out of them
