Heya Readers, I know it's been a while since I updated this fic, I have had writers block and I had other ideas for fics, and I have been very busy at the hospital, even though things have calmed down, it is still busy and there are times I'm really tired when I come in.
I haven't given up on this fic, be reassured and if I'm lucky I'll get this finished before Christmas! lol!
Anyway, enough from me, hope you enjoy this long awaited chapter! Be warned this contains violent scenes and strong language!
Chapter Forty-Six
Punishment
"Welcome to our family Lamia." Diablo smirked.
"Thank you." Lamia bowed to Diablo.
"And now you are a Disciple." The raven gestured Lamia to look towards their hostages "You now have the liberty to punish those who wronged you, starting with those two!" he pointed a taloned finger at the hostages.
Lamia looked over at the hostages and she snarled.
"Those two are my cousins on my father's side, he must have told them to go looking for me! Where's the other?"
"Those other mutants took him." Rex said, "More than likely he will be questioned by the police."
"Our enemies have some connections with the police."
"I see." Lamia mused, she then walked over to the two bound and gagged men.
"May I be so bold as to suggest that you practice your new abilities on them?" Diablo smirked "As you are an electric eel mutant."
Lamia held up her hands.
"I am curious about my abilities." She said, "After what I accidently did to Chastity." She reached out her hand and one of the men tried to get away from her, but he couldn't being so tightly bound, and she placed two fingers on his cheek to which he jerked and cried out in pain.
Lamia smirked and knelt before her cousin, the look of fury in her eyes.
"How could you do this to me?" she asked as she grabbed his chin and made him look at her, all the while the terrified hostage jerked and shook from the electrical shots she gave him through her touch.
"How could you? How could you consider killing me? All because I wouldn't go through with this marriage?"
"You dishonoured!" the other hostage spat at Lamia "You defied your father! You went against the will of Allah!"
Lamia glared and reached out before placing her hand on the other hostage's face making him suffer electric shocks.
"You dishonour Allah!" she shouted "You defied him! He never says kill! It never says that in the Koran!"
Diablo crossed his arms as he watched Lamia torture her cousins.
"Make them pay Lamia." He said "They deserve it! They deserve to be punished!"
The other Disciples watched both curious as well as pleasure seeing the Eel punish the ones who tried to kill her.
Regan licked her lips hoping she would get a chance to feed on them.
Lamia took her hands away from the hostages and looked at them, fury in her eyes and her teeth bared.
One of the hostages spat and coughed.
Lamia then punched him.
"We used to be so close!" she snarled "Yet now you decided to follow Father's orders to kill me?"
"You defy Allah!" the hostage spat "You are a sinner!"
"Yet you commit the sin of killing!" Lamia shouted "Or rather attempted murder!"
She grabbed the first hostages face and held on, as she did the hostage jerked and yelled in pain as he was electrocuted.
As she watched her cousin writhe in pain, Lamia felt a sense of calm washing over her, almost like satisfaction that he was suffering the pain she went through as he and the others tried to kill her.
The anger was still strong, but it was slowly weakening the more she watched her victim suffer for his crime of almost killing her.
The other hostage watched in fear and kept trying to move away yet he couldn't due to his tight bonds and he knew he was next after Lamia had her way with her first hostage.
Diablo smirked as he continued to watch.
"That looks painful." Samson said quietly to which Rex nodded in agreement.
Chastity glared.
"They deserve everything they get!" she said.
"Too true!" Diablo smirked "They deserve every pain, every torture!"
Before long, Lamia let go of the first hostage and he slumped as he passed out from the pain.
The mutant eel smirked and slapped him across the face, yet he didn't respond.
Diablo walked over and analysed the man.
"He's not dead." He said looking at Lamia "That's a good thing."
Lamia raised an eyebrow ridge in confusion.
"We don't kill our hostages." Samson confirmed "But rather torture them into insanity, then leave them to the authorities, let them tell their tale, then they are committed."
Rex and Chastity nodded in agreement.
"It's worse than death." Diablo smirked "Living with nightmares and trauma, death only releases you, but living in agony is the real punishment."
Lamia nodded understanding.
"It seems fitting." She said, "Death in a way is an escape."
"Exactly!" Diablo smirked, then he turned to Regan.
"Come little one." He said winking at the Vampire Bat mutant, "Snack time!"
Regan grinned and skipped over, her fangs growing.
"Feast little bat." Diablo said, "Yet don't drink too much!"
Regan opened her mouth and knelt to the passed-out man before sinking her teeth into his arm and started to drink.
Lamia stared at Regan with wide eyes, and looked at Diablo who continued to smirk.
"She's a Vampire Bat." He said, "Do not fear, she will not bite you, she only bites our enemies and victims, or us if we offer blood."
Lamia nodded again understanding.
"Besides, she won't bit you if she is to get a shock." Rex chuckled to which the others agreed with a laugh and Lamia couldn't help but smile a little.
As he watched, the second hostage was terrified, seeing how his comrade was tortured by Lamia, then being feed upon by this mutant Vampire Bat, he was really scared.
"You…monsters!" he spluttered "You disgusting freaks!"
"Look whose talking!" Diablo snarled standing up and walking over to him and grabbing his throat in his taloned hands.
"You tried to kill an innocent woman! You commit dishonour! You are full of sin! Your hands are stained with blood! You will suffer! You will feel pain!"
He squeezed harder around the man's throat and his talons dug into the man's flesh, causing blood to appear.
"Allah can't save you!" Diablo snarled "There is no God here! There is no saving you! You're fucked! Totally fucked!"
He then cawed loudly, and the hostage yelled in pain and fear.
Diablo then held up his other hand showing his sharp talons.
"You and your comrades committed the worst of sins! And you will be marked!"
He let go of the man's throat and tore open his shirt exposing his chest and lowered his taloned hand.
Lamia watched Diablo then saw the Raven use his right index finger to carve some bloody words on his chest.
The hostage screamed in pain as Diablo carved.
"You will be marked for life! All will know your sins!" Diablo snarled.
Lamia then saw Diablo carve into the man's chest.
Murderer
Sinner
Woman Beater
"All will know your sins!" Diablo snarled as the man writhed and screamed in pain and agony.
"You will never escape!"
He then cawed again and stood up, his talon dripping in blood.
Lamia smirked again feeling relief from the satisfaction of making her would-be murders pay.
Regan looked up from having her fill then looked at the other hostage, even though she was full from her feeding, she saw the bloody words on the other hostage and crawled over.
The second hostage saw her, and his eyes widened in terror.
Regan licked her lips and moved closer.
"Get away! Demon!" the hostage yelled but Regan snarled and started to lick at the wounds lapping up the blood and the hostage yelled both in pain and disgust.
Diablo cackled.
"Feed little one! Feed!" he commanded as Regan continued to lap at the blood.
The hostage screamed and pulled at his bonds as his mind started to break from the trauma and Diablo laughed and cackled at the scene.
Lamia also watched and smirked seeing the pain and humiliation her cousins suffered.
"You betrayed me!" she hissed "Betrayed me! Broke my heart! You deserve all you get!"
Her thoughts also turned to her father, the man she once looked up to, one she trusted who would protect her against the world, he had too broken her trust, and ruined her life.
"He will be next! Unless the police traced what happened to me back to him!" she thought as she flexed her fingers "I will never forgive him! Never!"
Wow! A rather brutal chapter there! Lamia tested her new abilities on her victims! And Regan has had her fill of blood! Yet is her blood lust ever satisfied?
Diablo too has left his mark on one of the victims, literally!
Hope you enjoyed this long awaited chapter! See you again soon!
