Part 8 Chris's POV
Time is a fickle thing folks say, which I guess is true to some degree. It either zooms past you like no freakin' tomorrow or snail pace. The skin around my wrists and ankles were rubbed raw by this point, my face was bruised from the various slaps and punches which contrasted nicely with the red swollen eyes I had from crying. Kira and the purple linen shirt demon-who I had discovered was named Erika-reappeared out of the shadows suddenly.
Erika whose blonde hair was swept up into a messy ponytail, stalked towards me with a cruel glare before her brown eyes transformed to the familiar black. Kira joined Erika.
"What do you want with me?," I asked, a question I had repeated once to many times.
The demons chuckled. Kira crouched down at my level and held by battered face in her icy hands.
"We're just minions," she answered with a grin. "Obeying the orders of our boss."
Frowning I continued to stare at my captor as she tickled me under the chin.
Great I'm being held by the freakin' demon Mafia I thought to myself. I didn't dare speak that aloud as I couldn't handle any more blows to the face. This was clearly not the situation for my smart mouth and sharp witted tongue. Kira began smoothing down my hair, I hated her doing that as it caused me to shiver with fretfulness.
"The boss is very interested in you sweetheart," her creepy silky voice said. "For years he's been trying to track you down. But your Daddy is good at guarding you…"
Retracing her last words she corrected herself.
"Was good at guarding you. Not this time though. Daddy went and left his precious little girl all alone when he knows that there are big bad monsters out there."
"Shut up!" I pleaded pathetically, curling my fingers into tight fists.
Suddenly there was a glimmer of silver in Kira's right hand. With a wooden handle and a long blade with teeth, Kira admired the knife in her hand. A sadistic smirk spread across her features as she rolled up the bottom of my hooded sweater, exposing my flat stomach.
Then the pain hit me. Jagged teeth dragged across the sensitive skin from my hip bone towards the area under my navel. Blood was drawn and began to ooze like puss.
"P-p-p-please s-s-stop," I sobbed, scalding tears streaking down my black and blue cheeks. "I-I-It h-hurts."
Erika and Kira shot a glance at each other before cackling with laughter. A stinging slap from Erika caused me to howl and wail even further. The blade paused for a second.
"That's the idea sweetie" sneered Kira, slashing with the knife again causing me to scream in agony.
CJ stirred in at that moment, a playful leer on his facial structures. I glanced at something coming up behind CJ and then the penny dropped. He was not alone.
To be continued…..
Please review.
The climax is approaching but who is behind CJ?
