Chapter 20(orphan)

(author note: trigger warning, torture scene)

"Leave my nun alone you MONSTER!"

(Nun weeping)

(Nun pleading), "NO! DON'T CUT ME! NO NO NO PLEASE NO!"

(Piercing screams of agony)

"LEAVE HER ALONE!"

(Screams continue)

(The faint buzzing of electric motorised surgical tools)

(More screams)

"IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR STOP!"

(Soul numbing howls of suffering)

(More surgical tool noises)

"YOU MONSTER!"

(Screaming suddenly falls silent)

"YOU KILLED HER!?"

(Dr Liling Sevenson speaking), "Not dead, patient has merely lost consciousness from the pain. Administering injection of waking agent now."

"NO WAIT!"

(Screaming suddenly resumes)

(Sounds of fists thumping desperately on meter thick armoured glass)

(Damned wailing intensifies)

"PLEASE STOP HER, EMPEROR!"

(Surgery sounds continue unabated)

(Screaming in the very suffering of the damned)

"WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? YOU ARE GUTTING HER! THE EMPEROR WILL SMITE YOU YOU MONSTERS!"

(Liling), "Patient's liver looks healthy, no signs of abnormalities..."

(The screams are never ending)

(Liling), "Liver biopsies taken, inserting scanning lance..."

"EMPEROR I BEG YOU TO STOP THIS!"

(Liling), "relatively healthy liver. Moving on to examine other organs..."

(Screaming intensifies to near madness)

"IN THE EMPEROR'S NAME STOP! STOP!"

(Nun's screams are horrifying)

"AUGUSTA! BROTHER! PLEASE STOP HER! PLEASE I BEG YOU!"

(Augusta Antony Sevenson speaking), "OH, so NOW I'm your brother huh?! FUCK YOU!"

"I'M SORRY! PLEASE!"

(More endless screaming)

"HAVE MERCY!"

(Cruel mocking demonic laughter)

(Screams of horror and agony)

(Liling), "Patient's stomach..."

"OH PLEASE JUST STOP!"

(Augusta), "This is for my sister Hyacinth, you bigoted scumbag!"

"PLEASE JUST BE MERCIFUL!"

(Screaming)

(Liling), "Patient's stomach looks..."

"SHE IS INNOCENT! CUT ME NOT HER!"

(Augusta), "HYACINTH was INNOCENT you bigoted hypocrite! This nun gets the same amount of mercy you showed HYACINTH, when you BURNED HER ALIVE!"

"BUT SISTER MARY ISN'T A MUTANT! THIS IS EVIL!"

(Sounds of torment intensify to new heights)

(Augusta), "YOU are evil FRANKLIN! Even my dear sweet LILING is less evil than YOU!"

"NO ONE'S MORE EVIL THAN HER! LOOK WHAT SHE'S DOING FOR THE GOLDEN THRONE'S SAKE!"

(Liling), "That's not accurate Franklin, I will have you know, my usual victims are actually mostly just 100 percent consenting masochists... Mostly..."

(Augusta), "I love you so fucking much Liling!"

(Liling), "I love you too beloved."

(Shrieks of sanity eroding agony continue)

"SHE IS NOT CONSENTING! SHE DID NOTHING WRONG! SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS! STOP!"

(Augusta), "SHE had a career working in a CHILD TORTURE FACILITY! She TORTURED CHILDREN EVERY DAY! Don't you DARE try to call this MONSTER deserving of mercy!"

"SHE SAVED MY SOUL! WE NEEDED TO SUFFER!"

(Augusta and Liling together), "GOOD, then suffer THIS gladly!"

(Wailing shrieks of hellish torment)

"THE EMPEROR WILL DESTROY YOU ALL, HERETICS!"

(Liling), "did your brother just THREATEN me husband?, that isn't a smart thing to do..."

(The sounds of suffering, impossibly, actually get even worse)

"WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STOP!?"

(Augusta), "this is just the FIRST nun, ALL of them will have their turn. MANY turns in fact..."

(Screaming)

"WHY?!"

(Augusta), "to hurt YOU! To make you SCREAM, Franklin! To make YOU suffer worse than anything else that could ever hurt you!"

"CUT ME INSTEAD! PLEASE!"

(Liling), "Oh look, cancer... Good thing I opened her up. I will just remove this malignant mass while I'm here already. Wouldn't want her to DIE, that would be FAR too merciful!"

"SHE HAS CANCER!?"

(Liling), "yes, quite a large mass, on or beyond the verge of spreading. I'm removing it now. I will check the rest of her body for other masses just to be sure. Every, Single, INCH of her!"

(Fresh screams)

"OH BY THE MERCIFUL EMPEROR, SEDATE HER FIRST!"

(Buzzing of surgical tools almost drowned out by screaming)

(Augusta), "Any chance you could do this same surgery on me tonight?, Pretty please?"

(Liling), "Not tonight I'm sorry Augusta, it's a school night for the kids, have to help them do their homework. Then have to get up early for early morning surgery tomorrow, need to sleep.

(Augusta), "I can see to the kids, you could just get the bedroom set up for surgery while I handle the kids..."

"WHAT IN THE EMPEROR'S HOLY NAME IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!"

(Liling), "Ahem, I want the kids to actually PASS their maths class this quarter, YOU would just get silly with them like you always do."

(Augusta), "I only try to make homework fun..."

(Liling), "I want them to PASS, I didn't become a DOCTOR by making homework FUN."

(Augusta), "You had lots of fun, *I* was your surgery homework."

(Screaming still hasn't ceased at all)

(Liling), "Yes, but BEFORE I got to all the hands on surgery I had to study my ASS off to get all the theory!"

(Franklin's screams of horror mix with the nun's screams of pain)

(Augusta), "so I guess that's a no to doing this tonight then..."

(Liling), "sorry honey, we can play another night..."

(Shrieking screams of agony and woe)

(Augusta), "what about we do anal?"

"YOU HERETICS ARE UNBELIEVABLE!"

(Screams of agony)

(Liling), "anal you say?..."

(Augusta), "pretty please with sugar on top?"

(Liling), "oh alright, but YOU are cleaning up any mess afterwards!"

(Augusta), "I will shit first".

(Liling), "OH! You want ME to give YOU anal?."

(Augusta), "I was hoping we could BOTH give EACH OTHER anal... you could wear the big strap on..."

(Liling), "no deal, you can bum me if you want, but I just want to be able to lay there and rest."

"YOU ARE LUNATICS!"

(Augusta), "please..."

(Sounds of cutting flesh and screaming)

(Liling), "I will THINK about it, no promises!"

(Augusta), "yay I'm getting anal!"

(Liling), "I didn't say YES!"

(Augusta), "we both know you will..."

"I WILL GIVE YOU ANAL MYSELF IF YOU JUST STOP!"

(Augusta), "Just because I like it from GIRLS, don't mean I want YOU doing it to me!"

(Liling), "what about that time with..."

(Augusta), "your cousin Tim doesn't COUNT!"

(Liling), "does TOO count!"

(Augusta), "I was only SIXTEEN! EVERYONE experiments a BIT in their teenage years! Tried it out, just wasn't my thing!"

(Liling), "fair enough I guess..."

(Liling), "Tim's split anus needed a LOT of surgery afterwards..."

"WILL YOU PLEASE JUST STOP!"

(Augusta), "who ended up doing the surgery on Tim's anus?"

(Liling), "Dr Sharma I think?"

(Augusta), "Oh I HATE Dr Sharma!"

(Liling), "me too, Dr Sharma was always a pain in the ass."

(Augusta), "what ever happened to Dr Sharma?"

(Liling), "Still around..."

(Sickening wails of pain and horror)

"ARE YOU HERETICS TRYING TO TEMPT ME TO ABANDON MY FAITH IN THE EMPEROR?!"

(Augusta), "I couldn't care less so long as you don't BURN MY HANDICAPPED RELATIVES ALIVE!"

"YOU DON'T CARE?!"

(Liling), "not really... You know, Tim's mother actually worships the Emperor to this day, true story. She was a captured Imperial prisoner who has just stayed alive all this time. She eventually settled down and got married to Tim's father."

(Augusta), "But she is a REAL pain in the ass at any sort of family event, remember that massive fight she got into?"

(Liling), "WHICH massive fight?, there have been rather a few.."

"HOW CAN YOU NOT CARE?!"

(Augusta), "oh come ON! Even my little sister Egg went through a phase when she was about 12 where she was ADAMANT that she worshipped the Emperor! It was absolutely adorable, only lasted like 6 months..."

(Liling), "it was really cute..."

(Augusta), "in fact, my parents were actually MORE upset when she later converted to worship Nurgle!"

(Liling), "I think that that was actually more about the poor hygiene that followed..."

(Augusta), "yeah..."

(Howling pain and buzzing surgical tools)

"BUT BUT BUT, THAT CAN'T BE! OH FOR PITY'S SAKE STOP CUTTING MY NUN!"

(Liling), "I am saving her life removing cancers right now Franklin, she has other growths throughout her body, she had only two years left to live."

"PLEASE GIVE HER PAIN RELIEF! I BEG YOU!"

(Surgery simply continues)

(Augusta), "so... That's a yes to anal tonight?..."

(Liling), "Oh for Slaanesh sake ALRIGHT! Just stop nagging me about it!"

(Augusta), "YES!"

(Liling), "but I want you to actually HELP when I make the children do their homework, no horsing around and stirring them up!"

"HOW CAN YOU TWO EVEN TALK OF SUCH THINGS RIGHT NOW! HAVE YOU NO SOULS!?"

(Augusta), "Yes Mistress Liling."

(Liling), "good boy."

(Screaming sobs of unendurable pain)

"I CAN TEACH YOUR KIDS FOR YOU, I CAN DO ANYTHING IF YOU JUST STOP!"

(Augusta), "for real? Do you even KNOW trigonometry Franklin?"

(Liling), "it's actually Algebra homework..."

"ANYTHING!"

(Augusta), "what's the difference?"

(Liling), "there is rather a LARGE difference between trigonometry and algebra..."

(Augusta), "there is?, I barely use any maths at all, my helmet cogitator does all that sort of stuff for me."

(Liling), "NO WONDER the kids don't do well in maths when you supervise their homework!"

"I WILL TEACH YOUR CHILDREN! I WILL DO ANYTHING IF YOU STOP!"

(Augusta), "hmm, that actually sounds..."

(Liling), "no Augusta, just no, you are not passing the homework off to your brother!"

(Augusta), "um, (sigh), yes Mistress Liling."

(Surgical buzzing and shrieking)

"PLEASE!"

(Liling), "I don't want you anywhere NEAR my children Franklin! Maybe a LONG time from now, when you have paid for your crimes and have shown TRUE rehabilitation I will consider letting them even MEET you, but right now you are not going anywhere near them!"

"PAY FOR MY CRIMES?, YOU MEAN THAT THIS WILL END!"

(Augusta), "of course it will end, EVENTUALLY... As I told you before, we do NOT abandon our family. But we DO punish evil shit family members like you SEVERELY, until such time as the family decides that you have TRULY suffered enough."

"I HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH! PLEASE FORGIVE ALREADY!"

(Augusta), "as you once told me, if you can undo all that you have done, give me back my legs, resurrect all those family members who died to rescue you, then maybe..."

(Franklin screams in near madness)

(Augusta), "your suffering has only JUST begun, or to be more precise, your nuns... THEIR suffering!"

(The nun just keeps SCREAMING)

***...

Sister Mary Cortez of the Orphanage of Strict Chastisement was screaming in trauma as her mutilated body lay naked in the fetal position, on the bed of her prison cell, in the aftermath of what that evil little woman had done to her!

It had been so COMPLETELY bad that her sanity was at least partially in tatters. She was shrieking without end, drooling all over the bed in near madness!

"EMPEROR!" Sister Mary shrieked in invocation, DESPERATE to be rescued from this horrifying nightmare!

Fresh screams of terror and trauma exploded out of her raw and hoarse throat, she didn't think that she would EVER stop screaming for the rest of her life!

The HORROR of what she had just endured! Oh the HORROR!

Sister Mary now feared "Liling" more than she had ever feared any terror in her entire life. Her life was now divided into two periods, the happy and wonderful life she had had BEFORE she had encountered Liling, and the screaming nightmare of horror AFTER meeting Liling! She knew beyond all doubt that she would NEVER recover from this!

The tiny little woman was the very fuel of nightmares, Sister Mary was now more AFRAID of the tiny Liling than of anything else in the UNIVERSE!

Oh the NIGHTMARE!

Sister Mary wanted more than anything just to DIE right now, life was just too terrible!

But HOW!

This cell seemed designed to prevent suicide! The bed had no sheets with which to hang herself, there was nothing sharp or pointed enough to slash an artery or stab herself with, and even her CLOTHES had been confiscated lest she use them to strangle herself! She could maybe brain herself on a hard surface, but would most likely just survive to be TREATED by Liling again!

Most horrific of all, Liling had removed CANCER from her body! Sister Mary hadn't even known she had the cancer, but it could have killed her and ENDED the horror of life! Sister Mary shrieked desperately for the cancer to return, to snuff out her misery, but Liling had DASHED this one hope! CURED her!

"EMPEROR PLEASE KILL ME!" Sister Mary shrieked with all her might.

Sister Mary then had a shaking fit of trauma, and hugged her mutilated knees as she shook violently, unable to stop.

Wails of fresh horror erupted from Sister Mary, she had been back in her cell for over an hour and STILL hadn't stopped screaming!

Sister Mary suddenly had an hallucination of Liling's face right in front of her!

Sister Mary flung herself back out of the bed in adrenaline fuelled strength, smacking painfully into a wall.

Liling wasn't there, it was just an hallucination!

Sister Mary gasped in sick relief.

Another hallucination of Liling's face entered her mind!

Sister Mary scrambled away, into another wall!

She must be going mad!

Sister Mary's naked body was covered all over with swollen red lines, surgery cuts! The frightening Liling had used some sort of medical laser to seal all the cuts closed without need of stitches, and try as she might, Sister Mary had been unable to prise these red lines open to get at an artery to kill herself! The laser seals were FLAWLESS!

Sister Mary grovelled down on the cold hard floor, sobbing in fear. Liling had done such TERRIBLE things!

Liling's terrible giant husband had been IMPOSSIBLY strong and fast! He had held her down! He had held her down as Liling strapped her to a table! She couldn't MOVE! Couldn't GET AWAY!

The giant had held her still, so she couldn't even thrash in her bonds, and Liling had had had had... Had...

It was better to not even describe what Liling had done. Suffice to say that it had been the worst cruelty in the entire world!

Liling's face was suddenly there again!

Sister Mary squawked with fright and fled smacking into another wall!

Dozens of identical copies of Liling were now standing in the room with her!

Sister Mary shrieked in mad terror!

The sea of cruel oriental faces were everywhere!

Sister Mary couldn't get away!

The faces vanished.

It had been just another hallucination!

"EMPEROR SAVE ME!" Sister Mary sobbed in desperation.

Sister Mary clutched her head in near madness, she must be going insane!

"Emperor!" She sobbed, "save me, I BEG you!"

"Patient's liver looks..." the terrible high pitched voice of Liling echoed in her mind.

Sister Mary screamed and fled away, running at the armoured glass door of the cell.

(WHACK)

(Glorious black oblivion!)

...

...

...

(Sound of heart rate monitor)

"Am I dead?," Sister Mary asked hopefully.

"Nope," said the worst voice in the ENTIRE WORLD!

"LILING!" Sister Mary shrieked in all the terror of a thousand fears!

Sister Mary tried to bolt away.

BUT SHE WAS STRAPPED DOWN!

Sister Mary sobbed in paralysing fear.

"I was helping my children do their homework..." the terrible voice said softly.

"I had also promised my husband sex tonight afterwards..."

"Instead I got called in to treat your self inflicted head injury..."

Sister Mary cried her eyes out in fear.

"I find this to be... Annoying..."

"Do you know what happens to people who annoy me?"

Sister Mary then screamed, she screamed and screamed and SCREAMED!
