She grew pale, murmuring to herself as she tried to distance herself from the violation happening to her body. I could see more blood. There was a patch pooling on the bedsheets, growing bigger and wider with every thrust.

He’d torn her open. Just as he had with so many before her. He took great delight in doing that. As though it were an achievement that his dick could cause such horror. As though it made him more of a fucking man.

She looked my way again, her eyes wide, imploring me to notice.

I couldn’t take it any longer. Her wails, her cries… it was too much.

I brought my finger to my lips and hushed her. I mouthed that it would be okay.

I was playing with fire, and I knew it. I wasn’t supposed to get involved. But how could anyone sit here and watch this without feeling something?

She locked eyes with me, and even though my heart was pounding and I was terrified we were going to get caught, I closed my eyes and then opened them, pointing at her to let her know that’s what I wanted her to do.

Close your eyes and imagine you’re anywhere but here. Float far, far away. He’s violating your body but protect your spirit and distance yourself from this vile act.

It didn’t work.

Her eyes grew angry, and her body tensed.

Nico immediately sensed the shift, looking down at her as she threw daggers at me.

“Don’t be mad at her,” he laughed, and my stomach bottomed out. I knew that laugh, and it didn’t signify that he found anything funny. “I told you she wouldn’t help you.”

He nodded at his vice, and he released her legs. Not a split second later, Nico was laying his body on top of hers until they were chest to chest, nose to nose. Putting his weight on his elbows, he cradled her face, brushing the hair away from her sweaty forehead, his tone growing softer as he spoke to her.

“Gabby is just doing what she’s told. Which is something you should have done, too. Didn’t I tell you not to look at her?”

“I won’t. I won’t do it again, I promise.”

“Oh, sweetheart. I want to believe you. You can be trusted, can’t you?”

She nodded frantically.

“And yet why do I think you’re fucking lying?” he asked, his voice hardening. Before she could register what was happening, he moved his face, resting his mouth over her eye socket. He turned his head briefly to give me a wink before he pursed his lips and sucked.

I turned away then. I couldn’t watch.

Her screams were deafening. I could hear her thrashing about on the bed, but with his weight on top of her, there was nothing she could do.

Animalistic wails ripped from her throat as Nico sucked at the socket. I could hear the fleshy slops as piece by piece, her eye was sucked into Nico’s mouth.

The wet sounds were thankfully drowned out by the sickening giggles between his hollowed cheeks and pursed lips, as well as her screaming.

And then, I heard a rip and an anguished, guttural scream as the eye was sucked from the socket and he severed it with his teeth.

There was a spit, followed by a plopping noise, and I knew if I opened my eyes, I would see hers on the floor looking at me.

“Ahh, fuck, baby,” Nico moaned. “I was going to let you keep the other, but the way your ass is tightening around my cock when you’re in pain…” he sucked air in through his teeth and released with a shaky breath. “I’ve gotta feel that again.”

The screams picked back up as Nico moved his mouth to her other eye.

It wouldn’t be long before he came for me. Every time he broke in one of the girls, he would fuck me afterwards. If he could make me bleed whilst doing so, then he considered it a successful day. So, I took my own advice and protected my own spirit. I squeezed my eyes shut and floated far, far away. Back to the days when I had it all.

Back to the day I met a blonde-haired terror, who changed the course of my life.
