Chapter 37: Torture
The siblings were pulled into another chamber by their kidnappers as multiple cultist has surrounded them.
Inside the torture chambers, they had heard screams echoing through walls.
"LET ME OUT!!!"
"SOMEONE! PLEASE! GET ME OUT OF THERE!"
"OH GOD...THEY'RE GOING TO KILL ME!!!!"
"HELP! SOMEONE! HELP ME!!!"
Tommy: *Whimpers*
Cult Leader: Ah. Yes~! We finally have you three. With your blood. The ritual will be complete. Your deaths will bring salvation to our people!
Jake: (Death?! Salvation?! What kind of bullshit is he saying?!)
Melody: No! Please! Let us go!
Tommy: Please don't hurt us!
Cult Leader: Silence! You got nowhere to run or hide. In this place, God won't save you. He has abandoned last souls like you! Tonight, you will be the sacrifical lambs to appease the gods! But first...
He snapped his fingers. The cultist around them then made room as two more men in robes carried the woman into the room.
To the siblings, she was unrecognizable. Her brown hair was short, she had pale skin, barefooted, and had only on a long white dress.
Her mouth was stitch up as she was crying. She was trying to escape from their grasp. But it was no use.
Cult Leader: She will be the next victim before you three. She had committed a sin and must be purified!
Jake: (They're...They're insane! Do they really think killing people will make things any better?!!)
The unknown girl before them were trying so hard to escape the cultist but they continue to hold her down before tying up her hands and feet. She struggled through the ropes. Even though her mouth was stitch up, you could tell she was trying to cry out for help.
What happened next will scar the siblings for the rest of their lives.
Cult Leader: Oh Lord Baphomet! We offered you another soul!
The cultists around the siblings started mumbling like they were on strange trance.
The woman on the table started shaking her head no in fear but the cultists ignored her.
Cult Leader: Now! The ritual will commence! Maranox Pallnex! Maranox Infirmux! Crudex Crudo! Let her soul be purged!
The cultists then surrounded before pulling out large knives. The siblings watched in horror as the woman started screaming more and begging as they ripped the dress off her body before they begin to savagely stabbed her multiple times.
The woman wailed in agony as blood smeared everywhere on the table. She continued to cry and scream that was led no mercy.
The siblings tried to look away from the murder taking place before them but the cultists opened their eyes by force.
Cultist: Watch. Because this will be last thing you see.
Jake: No...
Melody: Stop...Please...Stop doing this! No more!
Tommy: *Crying* Waaaah!
Cultist: Shut up and watch.
All Tommy could do was cry. He wanted to look away from the scene before him and siblings but the cultists' grip on his face forced him to watch. This was terrible. This was something a child his age should not be seeing at all.
Watching someone get brutally murdered.
Jake wanted to throw up as the cultist continued to rip the skin off the girl piece by piece. But that's the way it is. The cult leader says they are doing this for the greater good of humanity...to save their town.
"We Are Here...God Won't Save You..."
Seeing all this made Melody wondered between good and evil. How things have affected others and with just one event, they easily direct hostility at you. Which is why this town did not like outsiders like the. They direct hatred to bad actions by letting themselves be carried away by their emotions of that moment, raise their hands to evil, raise their sense of justice or are indifferent.
It was sick...
This entire town is sick.
But this isn't the right thing to do. Killing others is never the answer to solving an crisis to an pandemic that will plague the town!
Jake: (Oh God... they're ripping out her intestines...but the girl was still crying...she was so much unbearable pain...Stop...Stop.... She's already a goner! Just stop already!!!!)
But they didn't stop, those who were involved (the cutlists or the people of the town), take a huge sadistic pleasure of watching the victim get cut up and chop up to pieces...
After a long few minutes of agonizing torture, they finally stopped.
Cult Leader: We hope the blood of this victim has appeased you My Lord! Soon! You will have more victims for satisfied your thirst!
He then looked at the traumatized duo with a evil smile.
Cult Leader: Take them back to their cell. We will prepare for their upcoming ritual in another hour.
*Later*
...
No one spoke a word.
The only thing you could hear was Tommy small sniffing noises. He didn't have Barry with him to cheer him up.
Melody just stared at the floor in her state of shock. They were going to die here...All their efforts to escape. It was all for naught.
Jake:....
Jake felt like he had failed them. They were so close. So close to escaping. If only they were able to find the fuel sooner. They would've been out of this horror town.
Dustville.
They now know the truth and now they were going to pay for it with their lives. Since they were albinos, they were a special case which makes things worst.
Jake: (Is this...really how things end...are they really going to kill us? Are we going to die...like that girl...?)
No...
Jake: Melody...Tommy...
Melody:.....
Tommy: Is it true?
Jake: Huh?
Both siblings looked at the younger brother who was now staring at Jake. His red eyes that were crying a few minutes ago looked up at Jake.
Tommy: Is it true...that you don't have any friends?
This made Melody looked up at her brother...
Jake sighed as he scratched his head in annoyance. He get the feeling Dudley had told them too...
Dudley...
That made Jake wonder...
How did Dudley knew so much about them?
Their past...their parents...their lives...their secrets...and pain...
How...did he knew all that?
Did their parents put him up to this?
He didn't know...
Jake: Yeah...
Melody:....
Tommy:....
Jake: All my "friends" back at home are fake. Though I'm no better. I only hanged out with them just to look cool. But in the end of the day, I knew I was just lying to myself....
Melody:....
Jake: Yep. Aren't you surprised...? Turns out...the brother who tormented you guys for years turned out to be biggest loser out of all the Parker Siblings. Man...I really suck...
Tommy:...T-That's not true...at least you thought you had friends...my only friend is Barry.
Melody: Why is that though?
Tommy: Huh?
Melody: You have...all the time in the world to make friends your age. But instead you choose to stick with that bear? How come?
Jake: Yeah. I sometimes wonder that myself.
Tommy:....
Jake: That also goes for you too Melody.
Melody gave him a guarded look but it soften knowing what he meant. Jake sighed before looking at them.
Jake: Hey...
Melody/Tommy:...?
Jake: If...we really are going to die here...We might as well tell each other about our secrets...I...know I'm putting you guys on a tough spot but...I want to at least get to know you guys a little more. Of what made you guys into the way you are now.
Melody:....I guess we have no choice do we... It's better than staying silent.
Tommy: Yeah.
Jake: Alright. We only got one hour...
Melody: Yeah...I'll go first... It's best I get this off my chest...
Tommy:....
Jake:....
Melody: Guys...The reason why...I don't trust others...it all started when I was eight years old....
