Chapter 9 Family ties

Seth kept going on and on about the miracle breakthrough that was Raven. Hunter didn't say a word as he was led down the corrider. Seth had hoped that his information would please the older man but the look on his face said he was anything but impressed.

"Did it occur to you Seth" Hunter started finally interrupting the young man's flow. "That this girl is only pretending to be in your power?"

"I thought that too Hunter. Until she hacked off her own finger without a word" Seth let out a sick grin remembering Raven's fingers falling onto the floor with a pop. The bigger man stopped in his tracks, the light above them flickered as if sensing the sudden change in the older man.

"Why did she do that?"

"Because I told her too Hunter. I told you, she is fully under my control, with a little work she'll be under your control"

The light flickered faster as Hunter went on the move again, the light seemed to follow him as he went. Seth went down the stairs with Hunter's shiny black shoes following him all the way. Hunter's blue eyes looked at the girl in the chair, the blood in his veins turning cold as he looked upon her more and more. The dirt in her black and silver hair, the bright tattoos covered in cuts and burns. Her silver eyes opening slowly to look at the man she had called her uncle.

"Hello Hunter, long time no see huh?"

Hunter stared at her for a moment before looking to Seth, "You're a fool Rollins, she isn't under your control, she never has been"

"Now why would you say that Hunter?" Raven asked innocently. Hunter ignored her and looked straight at Seth, those cold blue eyes even colder.

"You have no idea how far she is willing to go in order to save her own skin, even if that means cutting off her own damn finger"

Seth was about to protest when Raven piped up again

"Hunter tell me how is your brother? Oh silly me! It must be the all the torture, I forgot, I fucking burnt him!"

Hunter smacked her right across the face, blood trailing from her lips. Raven licked at it, that smile still on her face.

"You smack like a whore, guess you learnt that from your wife huh?"

Hunter hit her again "Don't you dare mention my wife!"

Raven let out a snort "The less I have to do with that whore the better"

Hunter gave her another back-hand, the disgust in his face only getting worse. "Seth up the torture to level twenty"

Seth's eyes expanded "Level twenty? No one has even made it that far, she'll die!"

"Take it to level twenty, if she dies take a blood sample"

Seth could only splutter, he wanted to keep torturing her but on the other hand he didn't really wanna kill her. Seth was starting to like her a little too much. At least more than he was willing to admit.

Hunter glared at Raven, those silver orbs dancing with glee at her Uncle. "You know what Seth, take her to level twenty, take a blood sample, then put her down"

"Do I at least get a last meal?"

Hunter lent down in front of the girl "If you don't be quiet I will kill you myself"

Raven lent forward until her nose touched his, "You all ready tried that before remember?"

"Seth you have my orders, level twenty, sample of blood then put this whore down"

With his orders given Hunter began to make his way out of the room, it was Raven that made him stop.

"Your brother screamed like a bitch while he burnt. Which is nothin compared to how I made your slut wife scream. Did I ever tell you Hunter, how much she pleaded at me to stop? How she begged me to stop?"

Hunter punched the wall before leaving Seth alone to torture her some more. Hunter could only hope that Raven did survive

"Is it true? That he's your Uncle?"

Raven didn't say anything, she merely looked at him innocently. Seth noticed that she had a habit of doing that, starting a conversation only to leave him hanging over what really happened.

"Did you really kill his wife?"

"I killed his whore and I would've felt a lot worse about it if she wasn't fucking around with any man she could get her hands on"

"Including your Father? Is that why you killed him?"

"I killed him because I was bored" Raven shrugged "So what's level twenty?"

Seth smirked at her "Now that's the fun part"

"Don't leave me in suspense Sethy, I'm listenin"

Seth pulled up an empty syringe, when she first got here she hated those syringes, it always made her cower in fear but now the syringe didn't have the same effect. Seth poked it into her arm drawing up the blood.

"I hope you survive this round Raven cause I'm really startin to like you"

"I honestly don't know how to feel about that. On the one hand you're a smexy man with a nice ass but on the other hand, you made me cut off my own finger and I happened to like that finger"

"Hunter might be right, you may not be under my control just yet but it'll happen eventually"

"You sound so sure"

Seth said nothing, he just went about his latest plan, a tub of water and a long electrical cord. Raven was too busy eyeing the door, her hands slowly un-doing the knots, she had to take into account that her leg was broken, no matter all she needed was one good swing in order to make her great escape.

"Are you ready for the first test Raven?"

"Nope" Raven kicked him as hard as she could with her broken leg, the cast connecting heavily with his stomach, with all the force she could muster she knocked him down and stomped on his temple until he blacked out.

Raven made her way out the window as fast as her broken leg could take her. So far everyone seemed oblivious with her latest attempt to escape. Once again it was her and a darkened street with very few lights. All she could do was hope and pray that she made it further than last time, hopefully far enough to get some help.
