Page 33 of Marked for Extinction
Vik coughed and remained in his fetal position, refusing to look in my direction.
I struggled, kicked and squirmed, trying to pull my hands from the chained restraints but all it did was tighten itself around my flesh further, pulling at my skin uncomfortably.
“Such fire in your veins. I like that. You will be fun to break,” the woman purred.
I glared daggers at her, memorizing her form as much as I could in case I escaped and needed to come back and exact my vengeance on the bitch.
Her face was covered, but I would remember everything else about her from the way she talked to the way she walked. She made slow deliberate steps toward me, avoiding Vik on the floor as if he didn’t exist. When she made it to the mattress, she rubbed my face with her hand. I jerked my head away, refusing to let her get what she wanted easily.
“Boys, would you go get my companion. Has he returned yet?”
Her friend? Who were these two fuckers then?
One of the men answered. “He has just arrived with a few others.”
My eyes widened at the implication. More vampires to come and torture. How many did they need for one woman and a man left broken in the fetal position?
“I see. Get them all here. There is still much fun to be had with these two. The more the merrier.”
The moment the words left her mouth was the moment the floor began to rumble. What was happening? A quake? Was something happening above ground over this place? A few moments later, a giant vampire unlike anything I had ever seen ducked through the doorway and grinned, showcasing his fangs. He wore a white tank top that was tight against his torso, revealing his muscular physique. Long hair moved behind him while he walked over to where we were, never taking his eyes off me. His eyes were tinted red and they blazed with a hunger I didn’t want to know anything about.
His stare scared me. I didn’t want to be eaten alive. I hoped they killed me first.
He made his way to the woman with the mask.
“You remember the fun you had with him, don’t you?” she asked calmly, pointing to Vik on the floor. “We have another toy, just for you.”
She pointed her finger in my direction and I flinched back. What did that giant vampire do to Vik? Was I going to end up cathartic on the floor by the end of it too?
A husky growl emitted from his chest as his face broke into a sinister smile. I scooted as far back as I could, against the cold wall but it wasn’t far enough.
He made his way to my bedside and I trembled in fear. As much as I didn’t want to show weakness in front of them, I was trapped. This was it for us. The rest of our days were to be spent in torture at a vampire’s pleasure.
I shut my eyes and covered my head with my arms as if it would do anything to protect me. The sound of his belt jingling as he unfastened my pants made me sob quietly against the dirty mattress as I pushed my forehead against it. I didn’t want to see what was going to happen. Hindsight, that room of darkness was a blessing. I couldn’t see anything. I couldn’t seethiscoming.
When the woman vampire laughed, my skin broke out into goosebumps.
“Look at me, pathetic human,” he demanded. But I couldn’t. My body was frozen as I made myself into a smaller ball.
“Weak thing, isn’t she? Maybe she won’t be so fun after all. Pity,” the woman spat out as if she was disgusted.
“Ahhh!” The first crack of the belt against my back was the worst one because it took me by surprise.Thwap! Thwap!Again and again, the belt came down, each time my body tensing and waiting for the next blow.
A few more whips and it felt like my back was being filleted open. My fear grew even more then. Blood, in a room full of vampires? This was the end for me. When the whipping stopped, so did my breath. My head snapped up and I watched with wide eyes as he removed his pants and the largest dick I had ever seen sprung loose.
I cringed and pressed my legs tightly together and pushed my head against the mattress again with my hands covering the back of my head.
Please. Please. Please, no.
When the mattress dipped, my body shook in fearful anticipation. His finger rubbed the side of my face as he chuckled in a grizzly voice. Suddenly, a hand grabbed my hair and jerked my head back, forcing me to look into his eyes.
“You’ve got some fight left in you, human,” he stated matter of factly.
“Ines!” Vik’s voice rasped.
“I’m not done with you yet, little toy. Let’s not bother the other two,” the female vampire hissed as she brought down a weapon onto his back in a loud thump, slamming his head against the concrete floor.
“Ines. Please think of something else, we have to survive,” Vik gritted out and hot tears began to soak the mattress beneath me.
