When Stars Align

Searing pain set Sadie's chest on fire, her screams didn't sound like her, it sounded distant like it was coming from someone else.

“There that's a start…”

Matt could see a crude H carved into Sadie's flesh.

“Sadie I'm sorry! SADIE!”

Sadie felt light headed, on the verge of fainting from the sheer pain of it all.

“Its….its ok Honey”

She half whispered, feeling short of breath she was amazed she could say anything at all.

“Its ok honey.”

Sandra said in a whiney mocking tone.

“Fuck you people don't learn!”

She stood behind the small woman bound helpless to the chair, grabbing her ponytail.
Sadie felt a quick tug

“How about this Matt, I know you like your girls having long hair...well she doesn't have that anymore!”

She dropped the hair bound by the rubberband into Sadie's lap.

“Sandra please…”

Matt begged

“No the begging and apologies are over Matthew! You are mine, and this...this bitch! She doesn’t love you! She doesn’t love you like I do!”

Sadie lifted her head, warm blood trickling from the open wound above her eyebrow. Her thought process was skewed, but the idea popped into the back of her brain. Her heart ached even thinking about what she was about to say.

“M…”

She whispered barely audible

“M Shadows….I….I don't love you and I…. can't ma...marry you.”

“What was that?”

Sandra pranced over to the bleeding Sadie.

“Say it again, so he can hear you.”

A searing pain once again cut through her flesh, this time on her arm.

“I. DONT. LOVE. YOU. M SHADOWS!”

She screamed above the pain, the pain in her head, the pain everywhere!
Matt tugged at his restraints, chafing his skin he could not free himself. It seemed as the more he struggled the tighter they got.

“SANDRA! STOP THIS! JUST STOP!”

“Oh honey, but I'm having so much fun!”

He watched in horror as the blade of the knife was drug down the side of Sadie's face. The blood flowing down her cheek, on to her neck and down her chest. Her scream didn't sound human anymore.

“Now no one will want her! Who wants to see this?!”

Sadie was fading, the room was spinning, her head felt like a balloon floating on a string bobbing in the air. The pain made her ears ring as she tried to focus...focus on Matt. She needed to, that was the only thing keeping her here.
Her eyes focused on his big green ones, the ones that could see past everything. His image was fuzzy, but she knew the look he had on his face would live in her mind forever….however long forever may be for her at this point.

“SADIE!”

Matt struggled trying the break the restraints. The chair. Anything so he could stop the carnage in front of his eyes. He watched in horror as Sadie's head went limp, falling forward her chin resting on her chest.
Blood flowed from the wounds inflicted on her ivory skin. Was she breathing? He couldn't tell.

Sandra grabbed the back of her now short hair, lifting her head up.

“She's still with us…”

She let go of her head, it flopped down, Sadie now unconscious. Matt felt the sting of tears, hot streams rolling down his face.

“Sandra! I don't love you! I will never love you! And if you don't anyone else to have me...just kill ME!”
