Leon moved to the middle daughter and said, "Tell me a joke. If you make me laugh, I won't kill you."
She gulped down and said, "W-What did the elephant say to the snake when it lost its trunk?"
"..."
"Be my trunk, and you will get to bite—"
Leon took out a long knife from his bag and prepared to stab the middle daughter.
"Wait! I have another one," she said with an anxious look on her face.
"There was a blind-beggar sitting outside the park with an empty bowl in his hand, begging to everyone who passed by him."
"..."
"After a while, a rich old man passed by, but he didn't even look at the beggar. Then, a college girl passed by, but she didn't give anything even though she noticed the bagger. Then, a high school boy passed by, and he stopped after looking at the beggar. He checked his pockets and begged, but unfortunately, the boy didn't have money with him. Then, a stray dog passed by. It looked at the beggar and started sniffing the beggar. Then the dog looked at the bowl and filled it with his piss. The blind beggar thought someone filled it with water, so he drank it without smelling it."
"..."
"...."
Leon stared at her for a while, hoping she would continue the joke, but it had ended.
Leon raised his hand to kill her, but she closed her eyes and said, "I have one more!"
"Your jokes are so unfunny that you are making me more angry!" Leon uttered in a loud voice. "This one better be funny, or you will regret living."
"There was a family of four. A mother, a father, a son, and a daughter. One day, when the son woke up and went downstairs, his mother wasn't in the kitchen. So he went to his parent's room, but it was empty. He decided to check his sister's room, but it was empty too. Then, he found a note in the living room that had a phone number written on it. The son called on that number and… and… and…"
She started crying while speaking and said, "Please don't kill me…"
Leon jabbed the girl on the head with the hilt of the knife and knocked her unconscious.
"Did you kill her?" the youngest daughter asked.
Leon didn't reply and made a cut on the girl's thigh with the knife.
She had purple hair and blue eyes. She had a slim build and rough skin, as though she wasn't taking care of herself. Her eyes showed no life, and her face had no emotions, as though she was fed up with everything in the world.
"Are you not going to give me a chance?" she asked with an emotionless expression on her face.
"Out of all the girls, you were the only one virgin, and that makes sense. But why did you scream or cry when I killed the rest of your family?" Leon asked with the same look on his face.
After a brief silence, the girl said, "How was my screaming or crying going to save or help them?"
"Hmm.." Leon made a cut on the girl's other thigh and asked with a curious yet calm look on his face: "What is your name?"
"Will you spare my life if I answer?" she asked.
Leon shrugged his shoulders and said, "I might."
"My name is Mika. Mika Powan…" she responded in a calm voice.
Leon stopped making cuts on Mika's body and asked, "How old are you?"
"Nineteen…"
Leon looked at Mika's face and asked, "Where did you go to school 11 years ago?"
Leon rubbed the scar on Mika's stomach and asked, "How did you get this?"
"..." Mika didn't say anything.
Leon continued making cuts on Mika's body. However, the cuts were thin and small, so they weren't even bleeding. He was simply scraping the skin.
"There was a boy I liked when I was in the second grade. I know, it's a very young age, but he was my first crush. We always went home together because it was in the same direction. But one day, when we were going home, a black car stopped in front of us, and some men wearing black suits came out. They grabbed the boy and tried to kidnap him, but I pressed the alarm button in my pocket. The area was near the police station, so the men ran away… but they stabbed me before leaving…"
"What was the name of the boy?"
"...Leon…"
Leon stopped making cuts on Mika's body and uttered inwardly: 'So it's really her. Her hair color had always been strange because of radiation exposure, and she was teased at the school because of it.'
Leon fingered Mika and said, "If you make me cum in 15 minutes, I won't kill you."
"Go ahead…" Mika said in a low voice.
"I am not moving. You are the one who will do the moving," Leon asserted. He sat on the couch beside Mika and said, "Get on top of me and start shaking your hips."
Mika reluctantly got up and penetrated her cave with Leon's snake. She slowly started moving at a steady pace and pressed her hands on Leon's stomach.
"What's your story?" Mika asked. "You have so many scars."
Leon moved his hands under Mika's bra and squeezed her breasts before saying, "You don't get to ask questions."
Leon pulled off Mika's bra and pinched her nipples as her cave got tight.
"What happened afterward?" Leon asked.
"He had promised me that he would spend his birthday with me. We had decided to meet at the city park at 5:30 PM. I was… I was more excited for his birthday than he was. And when the day arrived, I took a long bath, wore new clothes, asked my mother to do my hair, and went to the park at 5:00 PM."
Mika scoffed bitterly and said, "I thought maybe he would come early. And so… I waited and waited. Time passed by, and before I knew it, it was 10 PM. My brother came to pick me up, but I didn't go. After some hours, I fell asleep on the bench while waiting for him. The next day, I saw it on the news about the terrorist attack at a hotel, and it showed the name of the people who died. That's where I found out he died."
"That's hilarious," Leon scoffed.
"I still go and wait at the park whenever it's his birthday, hoping he will come, even though I know he won't…" she sighed with a scoff.
Leon squeezed Mika's breasts and said, "Move faster. You have only 10 minutes left to save your life."
"You are the one who is making me talk while moving…" she remarked. "You know… I lost hope in living. The news of his death struck me so deep that I lost interest in this world."
"Yeah… I can see that…" Leon muttered.
"What do you mean?"
"You don't seem too motivated to save your life," Leon remarked.
"Well… I don't really care if I die or not. But now that you have killed my family, I will get the insurance and all the money. So I guess I will spend the rest of my life in luxury."
"You should thank me then," Leon scoffed.
"Not now…. Because if you kill me, I won't get anything…" Mika uttered as she increased her speed.
