Page 96 of Love is Strange
I walk into a scene from the fucking Twilight Zone. My brother is taped to a chair, naked bloody and broken. Shasta is barking and there is a young girl with a black stick pointing it at me. I put my hands up and pull Shasta towards me to quiet her.
“I'm not here to hurt you. My name is Celeste. Who are you?”
“Oh thank God! Celeste. Help me! She has me prisoner!” Joseph babbled.
The girl looks at me waiting to see what I am going to do.
“What did he do to you?” I ask her calmly.
Tears start to roll down her face. I walk over to her and put my arms around her. The son of a bitch hurt this young girl. She has something furry on her shoulder. It is squishy and I am trying not to touch it but I want to comfort her.
“Celeste what the fuck! Help me!”
“Joseph shut the fuck up.” I said calmly leading her to the sofa with my arm around her.
She puts her head on my shoulder and cries. I could tell by the tormented look on her face he has abused her also. I explained I was his sister and what he had done to me. She looked up at me with big shocked eyes. She was so sweet and vulnerable in that moment. She started to tell the tales how he hooked electrodes to her nipples until they sizzled. She told me about how he would use the wand on her and how he had also stolen her virginity. Then, when she got to the dog, she looked at Shasta and begged me for forgiveness as she told me how my brother made her perform with the animal. I wanted to skin him alive. Anything she had done, was not enough.
I held her and let her cry. She wanted me to know, it wasn't just her. She had found his video collection of all the patients he had terrorized. We watched them as long as we could stomach them. I looked at Joseph and the bastard was hard from the sounds of the videos.
I smelled the gas when I came in. I asked her what her plans were. She showed me the book of matches. I had an idea after we mete out some more retribution.
Joseph
Of coursemy weak sister would team up with the crazy bitch. But at least they let me hear my girls in their deepest agony. That was fucking hot. My hands don't hurt anymore. I actually can't even feel them anymore.
I heard a dog. Celeste and her piece of shit husband must have gotten him. These girls have no idea how bad it's going to be when I get out of these restraints. I need a damn drink.
“Hey! I need something to drink.”
Celeste mumbled something but I heard her footsteps go towards the kitchen. I cautiously sipped the first sip. It was water. I gulped the rest down.
“Now that you've had a drink, let's play a game.” Celeste said in a sing song voice.
Lisbet
Celeste was so sweet.I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders just by having someone to talk to about it. For a minute I wondered if I imagined her but then he started talking to her so I knew she was real. I'm so glad. I hope when this is over her and I can be friends.
I pull my matches out. This is a game Celeste suggested. I pick up the gas can and start to sprinkle more on him and around him. His head is bobbing everywhere as he picks up the scent.
“What are you doing?”
I reply, “We told you we are playing a game. I am going to throw matches at you and you try to blow them out. Most people wear a blindfold for this but, you know, you don’t need one!” I laughed.
“W-Wa-Wait!” He sputtered.
Still laughing, I lit the first one when Shasta went over to his crotch and started sniffing, like dogs will do and I noticed the dog had an erection. It gave me an idea first. I looked at Celeste and grinned.
Walking into the kitchen, I grabbed the peanut butter from the cupboard. Celeste cocked her head and looked at me. I pointed to his semi erect cock and back at Shasta. She laughed and shook her head yes.
We cut his tape off and dumped him out of the chair, unceremoniously so his ass was sticking up. I opened his cheeks up and glopped some peanut butter on his asshole and called Shasta over. The dog came over, licked the food off and mounted him. Joseph tried to squirm away, but I poked him with the stick.
I bent down beside him and whispered, “That is for all the animals you made me abuse you sick asshole. Either let Shasta finish or I will shove this in your ass and zap you.” Lighting a cigarette, I blew smoke in his face as I walked away.
Celeste was standing with her hand over her mouth as white as a sheet.
“You good?” I asked concerned about her.
She shook her head yes.
