“Wake him up.”
Rogue takes a step forward and tosses a bucket of water at him. He comes alive with a panicked gasp, his wild eyes taking in his surroundings before they settle on me.
I can see in his gaze that he’d hoped this was all a bad dream and not reality.
The psychological torture I’m inflicting on him is just as sweet as the physical one.
I rip the gag out of his mouth and toss it to the ground.
“Please,” he begs immediately, “please let me g–”
He cuts off abruptly when he feels the blade of my knife against his throat.
“What did you say to her?”
“I didn’t say anythi–, ah!” He screams as I plunge the knife deep into his thigh.
I jerk his head back by his hair, treating him like the little bitch he is. “Next time I’ll aim for the artery. I’ll watch you bleed out as you beg for mercy. Tell me,” I pause, my voice trembling with rage, “what you said to her.”
“You stabbed me! Are you fucking insane?”
I yank the knife out of his leg and he screams as blood oozes out of the wound and drips to the floor. “Artery it is.”
“No! Please!” He screams, hurling his weight back and sending the chair to the ground once more.
I step over him and bring my knife to his neck. “I can just as well slit your throat down here.”
Fear turns into misplaced bravado as he decides to fight back.
It’d be a lot more impressive if he wasn’t shaking like a leaf as he did so.
“I just told her the truth.” He says, trying to tip his chin defiantly and suddenly recoiling when he feels the blade cut into his skin. “That you only fucked her for money.”
I flip the knife in the air, catching it with the blade facing outwards as I bring the pommel down on his closed mouth.
Cold-blooded satisfaction flares in my chest at the sound of his teeth shattering. I straighten and bring him back up as I watch him spit out blood and pieces of tooth.
“You asked me to tell you!” He accuses, crying now. Tears and snot run down his face and mix with the blood already there to create a horrific scene.
“I didn’t like your answer.” I say, stabbing him in the other leg. He lets out a blood curdling scream that would make traditional walls shake. “Why did you do it?”
“You have everything,” he replies brokenly, continuously sobbing. “Everything comes easy to you, including her. I wanted to take something from you.”
I pull the knife out again and this time he doesn’t make a sound, the adrenaline having kicked in.
“Let me tell you the mistake you made.” I sneer, getting close to his face. “You could have done anything else. You could have messed with my future or my money and I’d have been more merciful. But you messed with her. Youtouchedher. You tried to take her away from me and for that you need to pay.”
“Please,” he begs through his broken teeth, “I don’t want to die.”
“You’re not going to die,” I say.
His whole body sags in relief as Phoenix throws me a disgusted look. He must think I’m being too soft.
“Death is too easy for you.”
“T-thank you. I promise I won’t ever go near her again.” He stutters, his eyes finally meeting mine once more.
I always thought I was the most well adjusted of the three of us. That I’d get a phone call one day and have to bail Rogue or Phoenix out of jail.
