Chapter 85
“Lo..London?” I call but my voice is croaky, and it is hard to get any words or sounds out at all. I now know what it is truly like to lose you voice from screaming and begging.
Sure the witch was resourceful but that was nothing compared to what the Queen did. Every slice and fingernail that she plucked from my hands and feet felt like I was going to die at any minute. But luckily, I am not dead yet, but I wish I was. Though if the Queen asked, I was right as rain. She as an anger thing that was for sure.
“Nix? Nix are you there?” I ask as she had been quite for some time now. “Nix, if you are there, please let me know. Please let me know if you are hurt, I know that we have only been together for a short time but please don’t leave me here” I beg as I continue to talk within my head.
Nix doesn’t respond, and London isn’t talking either. I hope my brothers are ok, please let them be safe and away from her crazy.
“You deserve punishment” The Queen mutters as she walks back into the room.
“Why? I mean really why? I have done nothing to you, I haven’t hurt you, I haven’t cause you pain I have done nothing to you and here you are making my life miserable. You are attacking me and my family we have done nothing.” I mutter into the dark.
“You have your very existence makes my life miserable, you should not have been born you shouldn’t exist but here you are. Living and breathing, you have family and you have people that like you and cherish you” The Queen mutters as she walks towards the table that is full of tools.
“I didn’t ask to be born, I didn’t ask for a family and we didn’t do anything” I cry out and shake my body as best I can with the restraints holding me down.
“No you didn’t ask for it but you got it, you got the best of everything. Yell you even became a powerful super without meaning too” The Queen mutters as she grabs bolt cutters off the table and walks towards me.
“What are you doing?” I ask as I look between the crazy queen and the bolt cutters.
“Well I think that since you have taken everything from me, I am going to take something of yours. You have three brothers and two sisters so I will take five of something whether that be toes or fingers. You also took my super from me so that will need a different type of tool to help with that transgression. But let’s start with the toes” The Queen mutters as she places the bolt cutter around Hennessy’s little toe and squeezes the bolt cutters. As the pressure and pain increase, I scream as pain becomes so intense that I can barely breath. I hear the slicing and the hot throbbing and feel the blood running down my foot. I can barely breath from the pain when the Queen opens the bolt cutters and places it on my other little toe and quickly and efficiently cuts that toes off as well.
Gasping for breath I have no voice and all I feel is pain and the tears and blood flowing from my body.
“That’s two and that means that I have three more things to take. You know this is actually quite fun. I mean who would have thought that cutting off toes was actually fun. I wonder if I will feel the same when I take your fingers” The Queen says with laughter.
“F…fu…fuck y..you” I gasp out as the Queen moves towards my right hand and places the cutters around my ring finger, I know the pain is coming but still I am rendered breathless as she doesn’t taunt me with taking my finger she just cuts my finger from my hand. I try and scream for help but I can’t. I lie there crying and bleeding unable to do anything.
“Well, that is three what let’s see what finger is next.” The Queen laughingly says as she looks at my cut off finger. The Queen plays eenie meenie minnie moe before she selects my other ring finger and cuts that one from my hand as well.
I must have blacked out for a time because when I wake, I see my two toes and fingers hanging from a string around the Queen’s neck.
“You owe me one more payment for having siblings what will it be?” The Queen asks as she continues to smile whilst standing next to me.
I need something that says I am sorry for causing you pain and suffering as well as something that will make you never forget that you shouldn’t have fucked with me.
“Mm, should it be another toe?” The Queen asks as she drags the bolt cutters across my feet.
“Mm, maybe I should get another finger?” The Queen continues to taunt while running the bolt cutters over my hands.
“Oh, I know. Maybe I should take an ear?” The Queen says laughingly as she pushes my hair back from my ear to expose that part of the body that she was talking about.
“Nope, this time I really do know the exact part I am going to take?” The Queen says as she tilts my head back and uses a strap to hold it still. While I am trying to fight her, she gets my head strapped down and uses a pair of tongs to shove into my mouth and grasp my tongue I struggle with all my might trying to get her to let me go. But it is no use, I am powerless. As the Queen brings a glowing orange blade towards my tongue I scream as with one fell swoop my tongue is gone, and the Queen is laughing.
I welcome the blackness that greets me as the sea of pain takes me under.
“I am here, but I am weakened” I hear as the blackness completely engulfs me.
