Page 34 of Marked for Extinction
I didn’t know if we could. Vik called my name out again when the woman began to torture him.
My scalp was tingling from my hair being pulled from its follicles. Vik was fighting to the end, and so should I.
“You need to keep your eyes on me, Human. You’re my toy, right now,” he growled.
I screamed as he stabbed his large finger into my back wound, digging it into the flesh and bringing it to his mouth for a taste.
He moaned and did it again in another wound. The pain was so intense, I began to soil myself on the mattress.
They both laughed and taunted me for my weakness as I continued to sob in humiliation.
“Please, I'm begging you to let her go!” Vik pleaded through a hoarse voice.
My captor slapped me across the face so hard, I could taste the blood inside of my mouth. I sobbed and he slapped me again and again. Every sound I made caused him to laugh louder. Finally, after a few more hits to the face, he shoved my head back into the mattress for a few seconds, suffocating me against the fabric.
The mattress shook as he left me there. The woman walked over with a sashay to her hips until she came to the edge of the bed. She leaned over, lifted the bottom of her mask and licked the blood that was dripping out the edge of my lip.
I jerked my head and scooted back, rattling my chains. It was the only thing I could do. Control the few inches I had access to.
“I love the way you taste, little human. I might keep you around for a little bit because of it.”
I watched helplessly as she walked and stood over Vik with her legs on either side of his body on the ground.
“Do you have feelings for this one? Is that why you cry out for her? Is that why you beg so well for her life? interesting.” She leaned in and punched the back of his head. “Don't worry, human, we’ll be back soon.”
“Her blood has my cock raging. I need to bury myself in your pussy,” the giant vampire growled. The woman rubbed his face and grabbed the back of his hair, pulling him down toward her.
“Oh baby, you know how I love feeling that cock of yours inside of me,” she giggled as he grabbed her, lifted her up and carried her from the room.
The minute the door closed, I screamed uncontrollably. The hopelessness of our situation tore at my very soul. I just wanted to die. I lifted my eyes up toward the ceiling and begged for the gods to take me. This couldn’t be what was meant to happen to us.
Would this be how we lived the rest of my days? I called for death and screamed for it.I couldn't breathe. I didn't want to not anymore.
“Please! If there is anyone listening, let me die!”
ChapterThirteen
Vik
Inés.I needed to save her. I needed to get us both out of here.
I torturously crawled over to her and pulled myself over the mattress. We were the only ones left. The only ones. We needed each other's strength.
“Inés. Inés, I’m so sorry,” I croaked. It was all my fault. She should have never followed me out into the woods. She should have never…
Another scream tore from her and it felt as if it seeped under my own flesh, ripping it out. Both of our souls were scarred. Both of us put through more than any human body should be able to take, yet here we were, still alive. Why?
I scooted close to her and lifted a hand to wipe away her tears. Cradling her face, I stared into the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more than to end her existence. I was there just moments ago, wasn’t I? If they didn’t throw Inés in here, I might have found a way to take my own life. But now that I knew she was still alive, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. She needed me.
I scooted again and cradled her head against my chest, letting her cry against me, letting her use whatever strength I had left for herself. Her sobs were so heart wrenching, it shook us both on the dirty mattress.
“I'm sorry for what happened to you, I’m sorry for what happened to me,” I mumbled against her hair. Taking a deep breath, I wrapped my arms around her, noticing my own wounds as I embraced her tightly.
“Listen to me, we’ll survive this, you hear me? We won’t let them break us. We’re getting out of here one way or another,” I stated confidently before taking a stuttering breath to hold back my own tears. “And I plan to make all of them suffer.”
Though I didn't see any way we could, I had to believe it. We were the only people we knew that were here in this torture house. The worst they could do to us was turn us into one of them, but they wouldn’t dare. Not after what they did. They knew their lives would be in danger if they gave us that much power to fight back.I’m sure memories didn’t disappear because of transformation.
Inés hissed when I adjusted my embrace and I grimaced. Her back was full of wounds, her skin torn.
