Hey Fans, sorry about the wait, had terrible writer's block, and I was writing another short story I had an idea for, as well as other stuff going on in my life.
Anyway, I hope this chapter was worth the wait.
Warning: Contains strong language and scenes of torture.
Chapter Twenty-Eight
Raid
Dale stared with his mouth open and his eyes wide as he saw Chastity step closer to him, her taloned feet scraping the floor.
"Sophie?" he stuttered "What...the hell happened to you? What are you wearing?"
Chastity smirked.
"You think this is a costume?" she asked as she ran a finger along her beak "It's very real."
Dale stared up at the white dove, he blinked several times as he took in her appearance.
"Speechless hmm?" he heard Diablo's voice behind Chasity as he took the lighter from the dove and lit a candle which he placed on the table.
As the kitchen was lit up in the glow, Dale saw his friends laying senseless on the floor, and he saw Samson and Rex sitting at the table and starting to help themselves to the beer that was on the table.
"This...this can't be happening!" Dale stuttered "This really can't be happening! Who are you people?"
Diablo smirked as he lifted a bottle of beer to his beak.
"I am Diablo..." he said "And these are my Disciples."
"Diablo found me after I fled." Chastity said as she knelt down and grabbed Dale's throat and squeezed it, digging her talons into his flesh making him gasp in pain as well as try and catch his breath.
"After I tried to kill you, I ran into him and his friends." Chastity said "I was lost, devastated, you ruined everything! Blackened my name!"
Dale coughed as he tried to speak, but Chastity gripped his throat tighter.
"I thought my life was over!" Chastity hissed "But it seemed luck was on my side when Diablo gave me the chance to live a new life! And since you blackened my name! And made everyone believe I was the evil one in this, just to cover your foul soul! I knew I would have to take matters into my own hands."
Dale's eyes widened.
"I'm not Sophie anymore." Chastity growled "I'm not that frightened little girl you bullied and manipulated, abused and tortured! I'm someone different!" I am Chastity! And I've come to make you pay for what you did!"
Diablo smirked as he watched Chastity tower over Dale.
"Tell him girl!" he said as he took a sip of beer and Rex and Samson also watched amused.
"I wish she'd told me about him earlier." Samson said "I would have made him suffer!"
"It's more appropriate to let Chastity do the deed." Rex said "After all we made our tormentors and would-be murderers pay for what they did to us."
"Agreed." Samson said as he took another swig of beer and watched as Chastity got ready to make her tormentor pay for his crimes.
"Don't kill him Chastity." Diablo reminded his latest Disciple licking his beak "He deserves worse than death! He will live with what he did."
Meanwhile, Hugh was driving towards the apartment where he knew Dale was staying with friends whilst evidence was being gathered at Sophie's old apartment.
"Damn." he thought as he drove, "I hope I'm not too late." He shook his head in surprise as he said that.
"In a way, Dale deserves what he gets! But I have to do my job! And Diablo's taking a huge risk! Oh man! I never imagined things would get so complicated when he came into the picture!"
He had wondered whether to call for Back-up to deal with the situation, especially since Diablo had more followers with him, yet he didn't want the rest of the police force to realise that there were mutants in the world, so far he was the only police officer in Chicago, or the whole world who knew about the Mutopians and he didn't want to expose their existence, he had made a promise to Tyroth that their secret was safe with him, and he intended to keep that promise until the day he died.
He soon made it to Dale's friend's apartment and parked into an alleyway around the corner.
"Better take this one step at a time!" he thought as he switched off the engine and made sure he had his gun, baton and taser.
The stepping out of the car, he walked towards the apartment, he could see the lights were on in the different windows of the block, and he saw one window that was had a flickering glow up on the third floor.
Hugh narrowed his eyes as he watched.
He then saw there were moving shadows on the walls, and he stood still, trying to figure out the shadows, as he was uncertain if they were human or something else.
Luckily, the police officer had a small pair of binoculars which he carried on his person just in case and he pulled them out of a pouch on his belt and put them to his eyes, and his suspicions were confirmed at what he saw!
He could see more clearly that the shapes on the walls didn't look human! And he saw clearly a shape of what appeared to be a bird, but not one, but two!
He soon remembered what Jake had told Tyroth, that Diablo had mutated Sophie!
"Shit!" he thought "If that's Sophie, she and Diablo have got to Dale first!" he quickly took out his cell phone and sent a text to Tyroth to come to his position whilst he decided to make his way into the apartments!
Back inside the apartment, Diablo, Samson, Rex and Chastity had no idea Hugh was outside.
Chastity had tied Dale to a chair and was now hitting and smacking him over and over with her taloned hands whilst calling him all the names under the sun, punishing him for his treatment of her and killing her mother.
"Bastard!" she growled "Bastard! You fucking bastard!"
"Hit him again Chastity!" Diablo goaded "Harder! Make him feel the pain you went through!"
Chastity complied and continued to hit Dale harder.
Samson and Rex just smirked.
"He deserves worse than a few hits and blows!" Samson said "After what he did to such a sweet girl."
"Agreed!" Rex nodded as he sipped more beer.
Diablo turned to Samson and Rex.
"I'm sure this bastard and his friends are hiding more than just sins." he said "I'm sure after a bit of tidying up we can uncover a lot more!"
Samson licked his lips.
"You think he's got more than just skeletons in the closet?" he asked.
"For sure!" Diablo nodded.
Rex stood up.
"I'll see what I can sniff out!" he said "My nose can pick up a few smells, good or bad!"
Diablo smirked.
"Thank you Rex." he said "See what you can sniff out!"
Samson and Rex stood up and Diablo turned to look at Dale who was dazed and was spitting out blood from where Chastity had beaten him up.
"You did good Chastity." he said as he walked over "And now, I wish to add my own torture."
Chastity stood back to give Diablo some room as the Raven stepped over.
He then used a sharp talon to life Dale's head and make him look into his moonstone eyes.
Dale who had been dazed felt pain again under his chin as Diablo lifted his head up.
"Wake up Pervert!" Diablo growled.
Dale gasped in shock seeing Diabo's deranged eyes.
"It seems my newest Disciple did a good number on you!" Diablo smirked "You deserve every ounce of pain and torture on you! And you'll live forever what what you experienced!"
"You...You...evil monsters!" Dale spluttered as blood erupted from his mouth.
He then winced as he was slapped in the face.
"Says the Evil Sex Beast who preyed on an innocent woman and killed her terminally ill mother!" Diablo growled.
He then knelt at Dale's feet and ripped off his shirt exposing his chest.
"Now Chastity." Diablo said "Stifle his screams, we don't want anyone to hear his cries for help."
Chastity nodded and grabbed a dishcloth and stuffed it into Dale's mouth and stood behind him to stop him from struggling.
Diablo then lowered his talons to Dale's chest and began to carve into it making Dale let out muffled screams and he struggled hard against Chastity who held him tighter and dug her talons into his skin as Diablo began to his work.
Meanwhile, Samson and Rex were searching the rooms for any money or valuables or anything useful.
Samson was in one of the bedrooms, his nose wrinkling in disgust at the mess, yet he knew he could find something amongst the mess.
After checking the drawers, in which he found nothing apart from clothes (which stank of cigarettes) he checked under one of the beds and he found some extreme porn magazines which made him raise an eyebrow then tossing them aside he lifted a mattress and what he found there shocked him to the core!
"Drugs!" he cried.
He pulled out a bag that contained some white powder along with green stuff he assumed was weed, as well as some pills.
He took them in his paw and went to look for Rex who had also been checking the other bedrooms and he had found a cash hoard under one of the beds in a biscuit tin, as well as drugs.
"Found a few treasures eh?" Samson smirked.
Rex nodded.
"We can use the cash!" he said "And we can leave the drugs exposed! It'll be worth it when the police discover they're in possession of illegal drugs!"
"Good work soldier!" Samson said as he returned to the kitchen and saw Diablo was carving some words into Dale's chest as the man was squirming and writhing and his screams were stifled by Chastity holding a towel to his mouth.
As the Panther and Doberman got closer they saw Diablo had carved some bloody words into the perverted man's stomach.
'I am a sick pervert and proud of it!'
Diablo let out a sadistic laugh then lifted his bloody talon to Dale's chest and began to carve the words 'Child Molester' and 'Rapist' into it.
All the while Chastity was breathing heavily as if feeling a sort of calm or relief that her tormentor was getting the punishment he deserved.
Diablo then stood up and turned to Samson and Rex to see the treasures they had found.
"Wow!" he said "You've found some good stuff!"
His eyes lit up as he saw the cash then he saw the drugs and he picked up a few of the bags of powder before placing it into his own pockets.
"We can use the drugs for torture." he said "Just like we did to those drug addicts before those Knights showed up!"
"What about the rest?" Chastity asked.
"We leave it for the police to find." Diablo smirked "These bastards deserve what's coming to them!"
Samson looked at one of the unconscious men and kicked him in the side, yet he didn't respond.
Just then Rex sniffed the air and turned to the door.
"What is it Rex?" Diablo asked.
"Something's wrong." Rex said "I think someone's outside."
Chastity looked worried, meanwhile Diablo and Samson frowned.
"Damn!" Diablo said "We should move!"
"What about him?" Samson asked pointing at Dale who was still sitting bloodied up and dazed.
"I'm not done with him yet!" Chastity growled to which Diablo smirked sadistically.
"Then we shall take him with us," he said "Until you've had your way with him, then we'll dump him somewhere for the police to find!"
"Thank you." Chastity said.
"I'll carry the bastard!" Samson said walking over to Dale then punching him hard in the face knocking him out cold.
"You and Chastity get out of here." Diablo said "Rex and I will deal with out unwelcome guest."
Samson nodded as he slung the still tied up Dale over his shoulder and headed for the window to head out the fire escape and into the city.
Chastity followed then he heard a bang as the front door was smashed open!
"Shit!" Diablo cursed "Get out of here you two!"
"Diablo." Chastity said in worry.
"Just go!" Diablo ordered "We'll be alright, you and Samson get out of here! We'll catch up!"
Samson nodded trusting Diablo then turned to Chastity.
"Come on hun! We have to trust him, let's go!"
Reluctantly Chastity followed the panther out of the apartment and Diablo and Rex turned to face whoever came through the door.
Rex bared his teeth and growled whilst Diablo opened up his wings and held up his taloned hands.
They soon saw who it was who came in as a flashlight was seen and Diablo saw Hugh come into the hallway.
Hugh had managed to get into the apartment block by convincing a neighbour to let him in then snuck up to where Dale was staying then finding the door unlocked had broke it down with a kick and held up his gun.
No sooner did Hugh turn into the kitchen area he held up his flashlight and he found himself face to face with Diablo and Rex!
"Holy Cow!" he cried almost jumping back in shock.
"Hugh..." Diablo growled "You dare interfere with my business!"
