Page 14 of Not Your Body

Jade dropped the severed appendage and stepped around her victim; knife brandished in her bloody fist. The women joined her, each producing a blade of their own.

“What the fuck…?” The men backed away, hands held out defensively. “Just… just calm the fuck down.” They glanced in horror at their screaming friend, slumped forward, holding his crotch. “What the fuck iswrong with you?”one of the men cried. “You’re fuckingcrazy!”

“That’s right,” Jade murmured. “There’sa lotof crazy bitches in this world… who are going to be cutting off a lot of dicks because you boys don’t understand respect.”

The third man shook his head. “Fuck this shit.” He turned to run and stopped short. “What…?”

Lisa stood behind him, a revolver gripped in her hands and aimed at his chest. A visible tremor swept through her as rage turned her eyes to granite. “Sorry I’m late,” she spoke quietly to Jade without looking away from the man.

“Actually.” Jade smiled coolly. “You’re right on time.” She looked at the frightened men. “Strip.”

When they hesitated, Lisa pulled back the hammer. “Doit.”

Jade and Barb dragged the injured man over by his buddies and ordered him to strip out of his clothes as well.

“I-I can’t…” he whimpered, still clutching his bleeding stump. His body shook uncontrollably.

Jade took the gun and shoved the barrel to the back of his head. “Yes. Youcan.”

His hands trembling badly, the man began removing his clothes as his companions stripped naked beside him.

“Whyare you doing this?” one of the men choked. “We don’t evenknowyou.”

“Is he for real?” Barb snorted. “They come out here torapeus and they want to knowwhywe’re doing this.” She shook her head. “Menarestupid.”

“Rapeyou?” The man shook his head. “We weren’t… we were just messing with you… we weren’t going to—”

Barb punched him in the face, then shoved the blade to his throat. “I know you think we’re just a bunch of dumb cunts,” she hissed in his face, “but I assure you—we arenot.”

“Tie them up,” Jade said. “There’s zip cuffs in the bag.”

The women restrained the men’s hands behind their backs while Jade held the gun.

“Take them to the tree.”

The two uninjured men held their ground, fear resonating from their faces. “Wh-what tree? What’re you going to do to us? Let usgo!”

“You don’t make demands,” Jade said. “You don’t have thatrightanymore.” Jade grabbed the dickless wonder by one arm and hauled him off the ground. “Get up, asshole.”

The man staggered to his feet and stumbled after the other two men as blood slicked his thighs and drained down his legs, leaving a sticky trail across the ground.

“What the fuck isthat?”One man screeched when he spotted triple nooses hanging from a thick tree limb. The other ends of the three ropes wrapped the limb and stretched down to the trunk of the tree where they were tied off.

Jade crammed the gun beneath the man’s jaw, grinding the barrel into the soft flesh. “Youhunga girl—afteryou beat and raped her.”

“Why-why do you care?” the man croaked. “She was just… a nigg—”

Jade smashed his face with the butt of the revolver, splitting open his temple. The man grunted and staggered but remained upright. “She was my sister’sbest friend,”Jade seethed and grabbed a fist of his hair, wrenching his head backward. She dug the gun barrel into the hollow of his throat until he gagged. “Shelovedher.” Images of Jasmine in the park plagued Jade’s mind—infused with the memory of finding Amy huddled in the shower, raped and beaten. Everything inside Jade pushed her to end this fucker’s life right now.

Control yourself. Make it last. Make it hurt.

Jade grabbed the nearest noose and pulled it over the man’s head, cinching it tight.

“No!” He jerked away, thrashing against the rope.After some brief flailing, he realized the more he fought it… the tighter it squeezed his throat, and he went still.

The other men shouted and resisted as the women put them in their nooses. Cinched up, they stood on the balls of their feet to prevent being fully choked.

The dickless man didn’t have much fight left in him. He barely held himself on his tiptoes, his head kinked to the side against the noose, eyes watery and bloodshot as he stared at Jade. Heavy, erratic breaths hitched his chest.
