As a bonus for this happy news...here's a teaser for the next chapter of Retribution which should be posting either later today, or tomorrow...
"So…" Bella says, causing our remaining victims
all to finally look at us again. "Who wants to go next?"
“You two are seriously fucked in the head,” shouts Eric.
“We’re fucked in
the head?” Bella questions. “Do we really need to start comparing who the more
fucked up individuals are here…I mean hell…it was what you all did to us that
made us turn out like this.”
I can’t help but notice how he worriedly glances over
towards where Lauren is tied up. I shouldn’t antagonize him, but I do anyway,
twirling a knife in my hand as I walk towards her…directly in his line of
sight.
“Stay the hell away from her!” Eric growls, even though I
can hear the underlying tone of fear in his voice.
“Why should I,” I ask, a bit of a chuckle escaping me. “None
of you ever once listened to me when I asked you to do the same with Bella.”
I crouch down, and trace down the side of her face with the
point of the knife, careful not to actually cut her…yet, and relish the
whimpers that she makes and the tears that start to fall down her face.
As soon as I reach her chin I pull the knife away and stand
back up, facing Eric again.
“No worries Eric…it isn’t her turn yet, so she can still
keep that pretty little face of hers…for now.”
It’s easy for us to pretend that we don’t know who we’re
going with next, even though we do. Our entire selection order has been
predetermined, although we did leave some leeway in case adjustments needed to
me made for anything unexpected.
We had agreed that Bella would get to interrogate Tyler…our
second victim…she was to be mine.
She surprised me so far tonight…hadn’t really said much
about the entire situation. But that could also work in our favor…show the rest
of these assholes that even if they try to play along that no one is safe, just
like Bella and I were never safe in high school.
Her hair is up in a high ponytail…a perfect tool for me to
use grab her and move her around as I please.
Taking a fistful of her hair in my hand, I drag her away
from the wall and into the center of the room.
