shouted , and they spoke volumes.
Cupid stepped back and sat down on the stool , his smile warm and completely normal , as if he were s omeone visiting with friends. ‘Let me ask you both a question. Do you truly love each other?’
Tom could hear Karen to his left almost babb ling, the fear consuming her, and in a way , protecting her within the dark folds of a near comatose state.
‘Well , do you ? ’ repeated Cupid , his mouth inches from Tom’s ear.
‘ We do , ’ croaked Tom through dry lips. He knew that saying nothing was not an option . This maniac was here as part of some sick prequel to their slaughter , and to fight against that might just speed their murder. He needed to give J ohn as much time as possible.
‘It’ s a wonderful gift , Tom, to offer someone your love , y our heart. Have you offered your heart to Karen , Tom ?’
‘ Yes, yes I have , ’ whispered Tom.
‘ And has she …’ Cupid hesitated , his voice becomi n g almost husky, ‘ H as she told you that her heart belongs to you , Tom?’
Tom knew that somewhere in all this was the answer to why this lunatic was doing this, why he had set out on a horrific bloody quest that had taken six couples from their loved ones , from their families, and their friends.
Tom breathed in short gasping snatches ; Cupid’s warm breath, fanning across his cheek.
‘I’ m waiting , Tom . ’
‘ Yes, yes she has . We love each other so … f or pit y’s sake , l et us go , don’ t do this. We don´t want to die .’
‘But don’ t you understand , Tom , ’ snapped Cupid , suddenly straightening up, ‘ this is only death on a physical level . I´m giving your love immortality . You will be bound for eternity.’
Tom gasped as the table rose once more, bringing their tormentor back into view . Then he watched transfixed , as Cupid spread his arms wide, closed his eye s and looked heaven ward s , looking like an old time fire and brimstone preacher. The man was completely insane, totally, utterly , completely insane.
‘What a gift , Tom . What a thing of pure poetry , s uch beauty. Nothing and no one will ever come between you . Your love will remain pure, perfect . ’
‘ It’s perfect now. ’
‘Only on a physical level , i t can be corrupted and spoiled, Tom, but I will protect you from that . I will seal your love and encapsulate it for all time.’
‘ Please, don’t do this. I’m begging you , ’ croaked Tom, ‘ L et us go. ’
‘Oh you are going to go , Tom , trust me . Y ou ’ r e going to a much better place, a place where you will spend eternity at Karen ’ s side and her by yours.’
Cupid moved for ward and pressed the hidden button bringing the table back down to it s previous level position. He then t urned , unseen by Tom and Karen , and he pointed a small remote control at the camcorder , bringing it to a halt. It would lie dormant until needed again, dormant until Cupid commanded it once again to capture the culmination of Cupid’s quest; the coupling .
Once again, Tom could see his reflection and that of Karen at his side. He choked back a sob , trapping it in his throat, unwilling to allo w this monster to see his grief .
Cupid s trolled towards the door , feeling calm and relaxed, which he was. ‘I will return tomorrow , Tom, and then you and Karen will make your final journey, your journey to paradise . ’
Tom stared at the reflection of Karen lying naked at his side, fe eling the surge and anger run through him at her degra dati o n, ‘ Why … why did you have to take our clothes ? ’ Ca me his strangled voice.
Cupid paused , turned and said , ‘ Don’ t you see , Tom ? It’ s how we come into this world . We enter with nothing , and we leave with nothing. That is how you will leave , with nothing, nothing but your love. ’ Then he was gone, swit c hing off the light as he went , leaving the cloak of darkness falling over them once again.
