Someone's POV

It was a cold night in Vasquez Village in the Island of Del Prado. Of course, it was expected to be a silent village since its a place where only respected people and businessmen live. But little did they know that in the last residence, such tremendous event happens almost every night.

I hissed when the I finally felt the pain of every open wound in my body. I guess the anesthesia finally looses its effect in my body.

I opened my eyes and let it wander around as I slowly absorb the appearance of my surrounding. Bloody tiles walls, a baththub filled with red water with a transparent curtain with bloodstains separating it from the shower. I smiled bitterly as I came to realized that the devil didn't even bother to take me to my room when I passed out. I tried to move my hands to embrace myself but failed as I heard the sound of chains. I'm still chained in the corner, is he still not done with me yet?

Ever since he caught my mom cheating, I almost hated my life. He does this everytime he went home. And I, his only son, suffered the most, for he believed that I should pay for my mother's sin since she's sick.

Every night, he would attach chains to my body, and make me do things I never once imagined would happen in my life. When he gets bored, he would cut the skin in my stomach, my thighs and even in my arms. He loves seeing blood and my scream and grunts because of the pain he's inflicting on me were like music to his ears.

My breath hitched and my heartbeat raced when I heard the door creek. A muscular figure appeared and came near me. I sighed and felt relieved when I saw the man's face.

"I'm here to carry you to your room" he said.

"Where is he? I thought he's not yet done with me" I asked. Please tell me that he already left.

"Boss left early, there's a problem he has to deal with in business" I sighed again. Good, I don't think I'll be able to live if I got tortured two times in one night.

The man leaned as his facial expression soften and pity, its drawn all over his face.

"I don't need your pity. Leave me alone!" I hissed. If he really does pity me, he would've let me escape earlier instead of locking me up in my room.

He didn't responded, he silently removed the chain in my arms and feet then carried me silently.

"Sleep. I know you're tired" the man said and as if on que, I yawned. Not only am I physically tired, but I am also tired emotionally and mentally. I felt a tear fell down on my cheeks.

Just how long should I suffer and pay the debt of the things I didn't even done.

Not to mention the fact that my own mother didn't cared about me ever since I was a child, so why should I pay for her sins to father?

I looked at the man's face before I close my eyes and let my self fall to oblivion.

...___________________________________________...

"hmmm" I opened my eyes and saw the blue sky. Someone did opened the curtains, entering my room without permission.

I pulled myself up as I take in my appearance. My arms are covered with bandages and I'm wearing a different dress. I smelled my hair and it doesn't smell like the rusty smell of blood, I smelled the fragrance of my shampoo. I raised my dress to look at my stomach and it has also been taken care of.

"I see you're awake" Mr. Kiyama, the family doctor, then smiled at me.

"How long was I out?" I asked politely

"About 2 days, your body can't handle the hell you've been through so it took its time to rest. Poor child, you must've been scared" I smiled at him. He's a nice doctor, he was the one who takes care of me whenever I got out from that hell. He gives me everything I asked him, except for freedom. He's family's safety will be at stake in exchange of me, being released by him. He's like the father I've never had, he treats me well.

"Where's the phone?" I asked and he handed it right away to me. It's his gift for me when I celebrated my 15th birthday. And I asked him to hide it for me whenever the devil comes home.

"Call me when you need me" he said and went out of my room. I opened the phone and check the app I've downloaded recently. It was like an ordinary app that allows people to chat and stuff but not everyone can download it. I simply found this app while browsing in the forbidden web.

Loka:

Who can give me some job?

Rabbit:

I got a kidney next week, who needs it?

Tilton:

I just got a good painting from the Vermine Mansion. Highest offer gets it.

Fury:

@Robin, wazzup?

It was a group chat for you know what, illegal things, and yes, I am a member of that group. What do I do? I steal from the rich, sell it and give half of my money to the poor.

^^^Robin:^^^

^^^Got nothing to offer. Everything's sold, waiting for @xXx^^^

^^^seen by: xXx and 105 others^^^

*A message from xXx*

xXx:

You're free for the whole week, the Montenegros got a tip about our plan. I'm still tryna find a way to get in and make a new plan.

^^^Robin: ^^^

^^^Cool^^^

^^^seen^^^

I sighed, its a good thing. I don't think I'd be able to come with them with the current state I am in. I tried to get out of bed and get up but my body was too weak to do so. I lay down again and look at the other group chats I'm in.

Its an app who keeps each people's identity secret, even the people I were with while we rob doesn't know who I am. Besides, we only do business and our faces are usually covered. None of us even dared to ask personaly questions, all of em cared about was the money they'll get.

*5 unread messages from Jack*

Jack:

You there?

Hey? How are you? I'm really bored right now.

Yooooo what's up? It's been 5 days, where you at?

Hey do you need a job? Can you help me with this one? It needs to be done in a month.

Robin, where exactly are you?

Jack is one of the member of X's group, like me. The only thing is that, we got different jobs. Jack kills people, while I only rob them.

^^^^^^Robin:^^^^^^

^^^Sorry, the devil went home😅^^^

Jack:

Man you got me worried, so its the devil again huh? Anyway, forget about the job, someone else took it away from me.

^^^Robin:^^^

^^^A'ight. How are you? ^^^

Jack:

Man, I've never been shocked my whole life. Remember the island that's a school?

^^^Robin:^^^

^^^What about it? ^^^

Jack:

The headmistress got killed in her bathroom. Man, they say the walls were filled with blood. Her baththub has water mixed with blood in it. Her body was found in the corner of the bathroom, with a lot of cuts in her body. Her face was treated awfully, it has no skin at all.

I read his message again and again as pictures of the same description appeared in my mind. It was familiar enough for me to be shocked as well, but I don't think the devil would actually do it to other people. I turned off my phone and stared at the ceiling.

If the devil had other people to play with, would he finally neglect me?

I sighed and closed my eyes again. I want to sleep again.

..._____________________________________________...

After what Jack told me, the devil never camed home for two months, and I hope I will never get a glimpse of hell again.

After another week, I received a letter from the school Jack mentioned. Offering me the opportunity to study in such a prestigious school. Then Jack told me that he receive the same letter I got the next day.

I should be glad, but why do I have a bad feeling about this?
