Get Psycho

Chapter 20: Finched

My eyes opened to a bitter and cold darkness.

It wasn’t familiar and it caused bile to rise in the back of my throat. Why was I here… where is here?

I blinked; making the black clearer if that was at all possible. I felt sick… so sick... so wrong…

I scanned the room briefly with my eyes and there was nothing but darkness. Rotten darkness… vile darkness…

A shudder ran through my body. That smell… what… It was faint and the scent reminded me of home… comforting almost yet it sickened me to the core of my very being. God…

I let my eyes slide shut as another quiver coursed through my body. It wasn’t from the cold, no… this room… Oh god where am I?

There were no tears at my eyes… I expected them to be… after… everything. My eyes were closed yet more horrors were there than when they were open. I had seen bodies piled up, blood running from finger tips, bile covering floors like grotesque masterpieces from a maniac. Finch… that name… My eyes snapped open at the name- just as colors flashed across my vision of those emerald green eyes and shining smile. How…? It’s impossible. How could someone so angelic be so evil? HOW? It’s not possible? My hands moved towards my face to wipe futile tears from my face, but my arms were held fast to whatever I was laying on. It was soft surprisingly, as if Finch actually wanted me to be comfortable. Was this another part of his sick game? If this is all a game… he won.

A sound came from behind the door.

Oh god… he’s here…

The sudden silence after the sound was agonizing. Seconds seemed to drag onto hours… He was torturing me… My breathing sped up and I desperately tried to calm it down… fuck… I can’t... this… no… my head shook in denial but remained still. I can’t be here… I CAN’T!!

A bright light filled the room and my opened eyes were slammed shut, pain flared at my temples and I felt nausea come over me as I turned my face away. No… nononono

The light was then dimmed and a calm voice reached my ears.

“So sorry, I forgot about the whole being in the dark for a few hours. I tried to be back as quick as possible… I had a few… distraction.” I could feel him smirk as he moved closer. His aura sending chills down my spine. “You look so sad…” A low laugh followed that. “Good. I did my best and it seems as if your…” I felt a painful thump on my forehead. “Mind is in… pieces. I thought it would only be right if I literally put someone’s mind into pieces… I scattered them across the highway when I hit them with my truck. Truly beautiful it was. Their blood smeared all over the windshield…” My breathing hitched as he described the scene that he found hilarious. I didn’t. “Goku, Goku, Goku. Don’t go all human on me now. Feeling sick about all of this… you are better than them… so much better.” I felt fingers in my hair, the heat radiating onto me like flames to gasoline. “Open your eyes.” His voice commanded but yet… it was so soft. I almost wanted to comply to his order… “Would you rather me slice off your eyelids so you’ll never be able to shut them again? It would be fun for me… not so much for you.”

I could feel the blade touch the side of my face and trace itself towards my eyes, a stinging sensation followed it. In mere moments, I pushed my eyes opened. Emerald eyes and a shining smile met my worn eyes.

“I knew you’d see it my way. Most do.” His eyes glanced to the left, then back to me. “You know…” His finger touched my jaw. “As I was driving over here… I thought to myself… I have been acting so kind to you. Not just my usual kindness but a fond one. You’re different than the others. So…” A twisted smirk came to his lips and his eyes seemed to darken a shade. “I brought you a gift. Not just any gift…” His eyes shifted to the left again. Oh god no… he wants me to look… nono! I can’t! I don’t want to know what’s over there… I can’t… I felt sick again. A stinging started in the back of my throat. Please god… no… this isn’t happening… it... it can’t be! IT CAN’T! This is all a horrendous nightmare and I will wake up. I will.

“You don’t want to look?” His eyebrow lifted as if he found it humorous that I didn’t want to see what he had to show me. “Very well… You’d rather me make you look?” My eyes widen at this and I found no words at my throat as my mouth moved and only silence answered. “It’s best not to defy me.” His hands grabbed my jaw gently and turned my face slowly. I had no strength to fight against his gentle yet firm grasp.

A scream caught in my throat as I saw black hair…

“Doesn’t she look so much prettier when she’s crying?” No! My mouth never moved as my mind screamed the word. “I thought what better way to kill her than… have her kill herself. I haven’t tried this method yet… I know if I cause the pain and she has something to kill herself with… she will do it. Humans can only handle so much mental and physical pain before they give in. They’re not like us… Goku.” He purred my name and glanced back over at her as if she wasn’t worth looking at for longer than a few seconds.

“I wasn’t looking for her oddly enough, she came to me. Quite amusing really. I was walking around the cemetery and who was I to stumble upon? None other than Videl. I have seen her around but never had the chance to kill her just yet. She was surprised when I stabbed her in the back of her neck with a needle. The look on her face… was priceless.” He laughed and ran his fingers through his golden blonde hair.

God… how much I hate him.

Videl laid in the corner shaking, wet from rain and tears stained her face. She must still be unconscious. A hand was at my face softly wiping tears from my cheeks. “Don’t cry. Only humans cry.” His lip rose in disgust at this and he turned away, his eyes holding something… disturbing… and it made me want to throw up again.

“Now Goku. This has brought on a new idea…” He laughed loudly this time, his white teeth gleaming like a lion’s would in the moonlight. He was gone for a moment and was back with something wooden in his hand. “She... doesn’t know her daughter is dead does she?” His smirk grew crueler than it was before… I didn’t think it was possible… but somehow... he managed it. He flipped what he had over.

A shovel was held in his clean hand. A shovel? …But for what? My eyebrows drew together as Finch eyes the simple garden tool. “I wonder how much she really loves her daughter. Don’t you? What she would do to see her daughter Pan live another day? It’s pathetic really... wouldn’t she think her daughter would be happier dead? Doesn’t she know she will be happier dead?” Finch’s eyes moved to mine and dug into my soul. “But what she doesn’t know… will make this all that much more amusing.” He grabbed something in his other hand. “Now to make this work… you’ll have to keep quiet. Even though I have you immobilized for the time being… I have learned not to underestimate.” A sound rang through the air and it was gone as fast as it had appeared. His finger stuck to silver tape. “I can’t wait to rip this from your lips.” He grinned and placed it firmly over my lips. “I will miss you screaming for this short time... but I will hear it soon.” He turned away from me and I tried to move yet again… futile… it really was.

I could see him walk next to Videl. He leaned down and gently shook her should, saying her name lowly as he did so. Her blue eyes opened to his and were surprised. But she knew something was wrong… something was wrong with him.

“Who… who are you?” her voice was filled with fear and her teeth chattered together loudly.

“You know who I am why waste your breath and time asking?” Although sick… he had a point. She gave a low whimper as his hand reached for her. “Grab it, please.” She did as he instructed and he stood her up.

“Why am I here? Where is my family?” Her voice was strong but behind that voice was pure fear.

“Your family?” His head tilted in confusion. “Let me think…” He paused for a moment. “Ah yes…. I remember them. I know your husband is dead... to my dismay that was not my doing. Your daughter though… she is in my custody. Quite the noisy one she is.” He smirked at this. Videl had tears streaming down her face, her eyes red and her face red with pure hate. I shut my eyes. I can’t see this… I won’t!

“Now you see… I know you love your daughter… but how much do you love her?”

I heard Videl’s sobs fill the air and my body shook. “Don’t… hurt my daughter!”

Please… don’t let her die…

I knew no one was listening.

“I brought you a gift. A brand new shovel. Not tainted with anyone’s blood... yet. And here… I leave you with 2 choices. Let your daughter die…” Videl screamed at this. “Or… you can dig your own grave and lay down in the bottom of it fuss free as I bury you alive.” Videl went silent at this; I knew more tears were ragging down her face.

I knew what she would choose. I knew what any human being would choose. End their life to save a loved one.

Videl knew… what she had to do. Save her daughter’s life.

She sniffled and her voice was shaking badly. “I…” Her voice broke. “I love my daughter… more than my own life.”

“I knew you did.” I winched as I heard the shovel hit dirt.

Videl… if you only knew you were dying for nothing. Hot tears ran down my temple and only to the gurney I laid on.

This isn’t real. This isn’t real. This isn’t real.

My mind screamed at me to wake up. No matter how many times I tell myself this isn’t real… I know it’s my reality… not a fucked up dream.

A few hours passed. Videl’s cries still remained and so did Finch’s one liners.

“Not done yet?” His eyebrow would lift. “Need any encouragement?” Videl would shake her head and sob. At the same time, speeding up the process of digging.

I no longer felt real emotion pain… it felt… numb to me… as if there was no feeling ever there. A blank stare… a blank heart and a blank mind.

Finch had won. He won.

The digging stopped and I let my eyes slide open. Finch stood next to the much shorter Videl, his hand on her back and he was nodding. “You did such a wonderful job. You really did. I commend you.” He paused and stared at her tear stained face. “You know what to do.” Videl’s body shook with pure terror as she stepped down into her grave. A grin spread across Finch’s face and his eyes darkened. Videl laid down and was gone from sight.

NO! GOD NO! Don’t let her die! PLEASE!!! Hot tears raced down my face as Finch picked up the shovel with such grace. He spun it between his fingers and glanced back at me, his smile showing how much he lived for other’s agony. The shovel hit the dirt and I swear the ground shook. I looked to the dark ceiling. God… save her. Please save her.

At this Finch’s laugh filled the air sending waves of evil through the air, shaking my body and causing my eyes to clench shut. Please stop. Please…

I heard no sound from Videl and I let my eyes open and turn to the left where she had been… all that was there was Finch stomping down on the dirt.

My eyes widen in pure horror. She’s… no… she can’t be… she… Tears didn’t fall this time as my eyes lowered. Finch dug the shovel into the dirt and moved towards me, slow yet quickly… just so perfect.

Finch seemed to stop mid stride. His head tilted slightly as he stared off at nothing. His lip twitched and his face was unreadable. God... what is wrong with this man? What… is he?

~ ~ ~

Finch hadn’t won. Not yet. Alex ran across the parking lot of the mostly empty police station, coming closer to his destination... He had made it in record time and he felt a smile tug at his lips. He’d get backup... then get that psycho Finch.

His hand touched the door and pain flared in his arm as it was twisted back and a hand covered his mouth roughly. “Hello… Detective.”
