Cold. Hurt. As I opened my eyes I saw him grin. With that smirk on his face, he left and the doctor came. Carrying different tools for torture, he talked to me.
"Tell me Arthur, are you afraid of the dark? "
-No
"Are you afraid of pain? "
-No
"Are you not afraid of me? "
-I'm not
"Do you fear death? "
-I don't
"Your family's death? "
-I don't have one
"Your friends' death? "
-I don't have any
"YOUR death? "
-*sigh* Tell me Doctor, how do I die when I'm already dead?
"You're not dead Arthur, not yet"
-I already died thousands of times and will continue to die until this kingdom's people die by my hands, but for now, YOU WILL on my stead.
"What are you-"
*blood splatters*
"You, you cut your arms off!? "
-...... Tell me doctor, are you afraid of the dark?
"No, no, noo! Noooo!! "
-Neither you nor your screams will reach the surface Doctor. Please let me have the fun you had with me.
"Nooo! Nooo, noo, no.... "
After the seemingly endless screams of agony that echoed in the catacombs, Arthur left and resurfaced.
"Tch, I need to change clothes"
With sorrow on his eyes and blood on his hands, he stood still. The first person to see him was a mother with fear on her face.
"Arthur! It's Arthur! Arthur is free! " she shouted.
All the other people turned and as they saw him, they ran hurriedly towards their houses without second thoughts.
"Arthur is free! Arthur is-" the mother's shout suddenly stopped.
*silence*
Looking up to the sky with tears on his eyes, Arthur said, "I'm home"
The people were shocked and confused for they saw what happened as they were peeking through their doors and windows.
"Why is he crying? " they said.
After a week, the news spread across the kingdom like wildfire. The stories they heard goes like this:
The "Doctor" is dead. Arthur broke free. He had blood on his clothes and a woman's head on his arms. He is back!
Rumors also said that Arthur cried while hugging the headless body of the mother. Arthur is back! Arthur will once again roam around the kingdom leaving trails of blood on his path!
