NEXT PART AFTER "SHOW YOUR FACE"

[ TORTURE - GORE - ROMANCE ]

The cold of the night was easy to feel over the skin, and with such a heavy sweat over it was freezing terrible their skin. The breath of those four men was easy to hear, their sobs because the fear were almost as noisy as the truck cracking some branches of the trees that were around. But when they hear it stop and how the door was opening, they moved their head around as if they could see something, even if that was impossible because the cloth covering their eyes.

"Over the floor, quickly." They heard a soft manly voice that could pass as feminine. And in the instant, they felt the hands grabbing them and throwing them without problem to the ground. They felt the mud in their faces and the smell of the rain of the last night. "Stand up, now." The voice said again and one of those four man felt a kick in the stomach. "Now, I said!"

They didn't have any other option but obey. The heavy chains that kept the hands together of those men made a sound together. Each of them had their hands in front but chained. Even if they were separate, the four of them were making the same movements in the same time. They could hear how the truck was moving and some other motors were around, with the mix of the chains and the motorcycles they felt a terrible pain in the throat. Were so nervous when the motors calm down and their chains moved a bit, some of them could feel another chain over their shoulders now.

"Remove the cloth."

Before, when they were in the truck, someone told them that if they tried to remove the cloth they would cut their fingers. One of them tried before reach that place and was the one who looked pale because the pain in his hand; the index finger was now in his pocket.

When the cloth fell, the four man blinked expecting some light, but was as dark as the woods would be in the midnight, even so two little lamps were enough light to let them see three people in front of them. Perttu smiled when came close to remove the last cloth over the eyes of one of the men, the one who was pale and almost fainting, and the one who yell when saw his hand in a blood bath. But his scream was hard to hear whit the cloth inside his mouth. Anyway, he decided to fall over his knees.

"Didn't you hear our boss said stand up?" Andrzej said to came close and take his hair. "You are just a peasant, you need to obey to the queen."

The man didn't have any option. He moved as quickly as he could, seeing how serious was that man in front of them. Shiva was wearing a black shirt with some jeans and some boots. They couldn't see it, but those boot were like high heels.

"So… this four men." She said with a smile. "Do you know why you are here? I bet you do." Shiva moved her fingers to let someone know they should come close. "Do you remember them?"

The men followed two figures in the dark to then see them with a bit of light. Eren and Azrail wasn't so happy when they came close to Shiva. As they did that, the Cygnus and the Dragon moved to their backs, even one of the man tries to follow them but the hand of Shiva held his chin in such hard way he needed to turn.

"I made a question. Do you remember them?" Shiva slapped the man to then come back at side of Eren and Azrail. "Do you?" two of the men nodded because of the fear. "And you, my Andromeda and my Pegasus, do you remember this disgusting worms?"

"The four of them, indeed." Eren said without changing his expression.

"Ah, specially this one." Azrail came close to one of them. "He is the one who broke my fingers."

Such a fear could be seeing in the face of the poor man. Indeed he could remember Azrail, and even remembered when he pushed him in the car. The young Pegasus didn't yell or cried for his life, he just smiled and after turn on the car with his broken fingers and he promised them they would pay that and even more. Now the man knew he was being honest.

"Great. Then these are our guests we had looking for since a month ago." Shiva smiled. "Let's go to the house and negotiate all this, what do you think?" the four man nodded. "That's good. Now, be in your knees, will be less painful."

The four man saw how she and the other two moved at their backs. One decided to turn just to see something that made him feel a terrible fear and a hole in his stomach. Every new chain they had in their hands finished in the back of a motorcycle.

The Four Celestial Black Kings were now over their motorcycles and made the motor roar. Shiva sat down in the back of Perttu and held him close.

"I thought my brother asked you never go over a motorcycle." Andrzej smiled. "Isn't dangerous for our beloved queen?"

"I will not lost this opportunity." She said to then kiss Perttu's cheek. "Will be our secret, ok?"

"I can hide all the secrets of yours, my queen." Perttu smiled.

Again, the motors roared and they began their way to the house. The guys began to yell and make noises to let the other gang members know they were close, the combination of that and the screams of the men who were hitting their bodies on the ground was indeed noisy. But the house was too far to bother anyone.

Each of the four man could see the other motorcycles, but their bodies were in pain after the long road, even one was yelling because the cloth in his mouth went out and one of his shoulders were broke. The four motorcycles give a turn to the roundabout and then stopped to be in front of the house that they liked to call "The Castle" or "The Black House".

Cries and screams could be heard when Shiva made them remove the cloths in the mouths of the four men. She smiled standing up in front of them with the arms crossed.

"Did you like our little trip?" she said to then laugh in a very delicate way. "Now, guys, you might think this is going to be terrible and I want to kill you." She nodded. "Indeed, will be terrible for you, but I don't want to kill you. That would be too easy."

"It is funnier to have them like this, my queen." One of the gang members said to make everyone laugh as he make a dog sound.

"Oh yes, yes. Chained as dogs." She answered to come close to them. "Maybe I should let them know when everything is going to finish. Well… it is midnight, and I will have a busy day. What about three in the morning?"

"I think isn't a good hour."

Some of the gang members moved to let him pass. The Darker Dragon came close to his brother and the other Four Kings. Shiva removed her smiled when she heard that.

"After what they did you think they shouldn't suffer that much?"

"No." Jan smiled as he used his cane to walk, but now wasn't because he couldn't see but because one of his legs didn't let him walk as before. "I think they should spend all night here. Till the sun rises."

Shiva smiled and came close to Jan. Then, still with such a sadistic smile, turned to see the four man.

"As always, I will follow your good advices." Shiva held Jan's face and touched over the bandage he still had over his eye. "Do you remember who did this to you?"

Jan nodded. Shiva fixed the long thread of hair he still had and fix it over his shoulder. She was so angry that needed to calm down, their leader could remember how Jan described what those men did to him. They torture him asking about his leader, but he said nothing and explained he didn't even know who was because was blind. One of them didn't believe him and took something very heavy to hit directly to his open eye.

"My queen?" Azrail smiled coming close to one of the men, the one he could remember. "Can I have fun with this dog?"

"It wasn't me! I swear!" the man yelled. "I don't know them!"

Shiva laughed and turned quickly to kick his face. The high heels made the blood fall over some roses she had in his terrace. The man couldn't yell fully with his teeth on the ground.

"My Pegasus has the best memory I had ever seeing." She said coming close holding Azrail's arm. "He can remember every face if he wants. I trust him, and he says you four are the ones who hit him and hit my Andromeda…" now her face was full of anger. "And you almost kill one of my Dragons." She sighed to take a bit of calm and kissed Azrail's cheek to then walk and held the chain of that man. "I already made you bleed, but I want to do something else before let you at his hands." She made the man lay over the ground as the other three were seeing. "Were is the hammer?"

The man was shaking but couldn't run or move because one of the gang member sat over him. Shiva moved the hands of the man in front of himself and step over them asking him to don't move. Indeed he couldn't move, but began to ask for forgiveness when one of the gang members gave a big hammer to their leader.

"Please! No!" he said to begin to cry. "Please! I will do anything!"

"Anything? No… you already broke his fingers and that's a lot. Do you know how painful is to have both hands like he had them all the month?" Shiva moved his high heels to make the man cry. "He is still in pain. One of my boys is in pain! And all because of you!"

As she finished those last words, the hammer hit directly to the fingers of the man. The yell he did made laugh to some of the gang members. Others weren't so into that, so moved slowly to the motorcycles to keep talking about something else.

"For sure he has break his fingers before in fights, don't you, my Pegasus?" he nodded with a smile. "But what bothers me a lot is… this!" once again the energy of the hit destroyed the bones in his fingers. "He just went to save one of my boys. He was doing something good, not a stupid fight." The sounds of the tool hitting the thumb was just terrible. "And you made him suffer." A hit in the fingers. "And I don't like when one of my beloved Kings suffer…" another one. "So, I really hope you learn to never, never, mess up with them." Almost the last hit. "Do you understand?" and for the last, the thumb of the right hand broke in three parts.

She removed her high heels from his hands and let the hammer fall over them. The man was crying in pain and his hands began to shake. All of his ten fingers were broken now, even if he wanted to use the hammer as a weapon to escape, would be impossible. Shiva smiled to Azrail and made a sign with his hand to let him know he could do anything. The Black Pegasus took the chain that kept the broken hands of the man together and, with help of other members of the gang, drag him away from the other three men. They were astonished, but one of them didn't wait to spit Shiva's shoes.

"When our boss knows about this, he will kill you!"

"How you dare?!" Jan speak with a terrible voice. "You are the one who will die if you talk like that to our queen."

"Calm down, my man." Shiva came close to kiss his cheek. "He doesn't know who I am." He turned to see the three of them. "They never had seeing my face before, just like you."

One of the men looked surprised. For Shiva meant something, but he wanted to be sure. She came close to the first one, the one who dare to spit in his boots. She saw him very serious and then laughed a bit to throw a sigh.

"You know nothing about me or this gang, and is totally fine. I mean, we aren't new, how long has exist this gang?" she asked to Andrzej.

"Almost nine years."

"And I hadn't being even a year as the boss." She sighed and turned a bit sad. "After the dead of my beloved boyfriend, we had only work to stand up again. But anyway… I know you know what I mean." She smiled again. "Your gang is relatively new, two years in the streets, isn't?" the three men didn't answer. "In the west of the city, you thought you had almost everything in your control. Well, guess what? One of you dealers and the one who let you do a lot of things was one of my Kings. That's why was so easy to find you four." Shiva laughed. "Raul, Simone, Ernest and…"

"Joseph." Eren smiled. "Those are their names. Indeed stupid to say all of them when you torture someone." He laughed a bit and came close with Shiva. "Their boss is Andrew Cantone."

"How… how do you…" one of the men couldn't talk totally.

"My Pegasus memorizes faces, my Andromeda memorizes names." He smiled. "So, you said your boss Andrew will kill me when he knows about all this, didn't you?" she moved his head to say no. "I don't think he will do that. And I'm going to tell you a little story!" Shiva clapped her hands and then smiled as Andrzej and Perttu went in direction of the truck. "One little fish, as little as your gang, thought it could be big enough to have a name. I must tell you, I do like when little fishes wants to have their name and I do appreciate a fair game to grow up. But, this fish was indeed stupid." Suddenly the three men turned to see to Andrzej and Perttu and what they were holding in between their hands. They were drawing a big black bag that moved a bit. "This fish thought in go and fight another fish. A beautiful black one that looked like a dragon. When that beautiful fish needed help, another two fishes went and help him." Andrzej and Perttu leaved the bag at her feet and she pulled out a knife. "But this is where the story isn't fair. The first black fish didn't know who the big shark was."

"The beautiful big shark, my queen." Perttu smiled.

"Yes, indeed." She laughed a bit. "Do you know why?" she asked to the men. "Well, the black fish was blind, so he never saw the shark. And the second problem was that the little fish thought that torture him would make him see, and then this fish torture and hit the other two fishes." She moved down and pass the knife thru the bag. "Stupid fish indeed, he never knew that he was fighting with a bank of dangerous fishes and their leader was a big shark."

As she moved the knife to open totally the black bag, a man full of blood appeared in front of them. The so called Andrew Cantone was still breathing but indeed wasn't totally alive.

"The end of the story." She smiled to them. "Did you like it? Because we can keep the story to the part where the police finds the body of the stupid fish in front of their pond. I know that they will enjoy to put this disgusting son of the bitch in the jail for almost thirty years, enough years to make me grow even more and then be untouchable. So, don't come here and tell me your boss, this man, will kill me. He can't and he will never be available to come close to me."

"Bitch!" the man without a finger yelled. "You are a bitch!"

"Shut up!" Andrzej held his hair to hit his face over the ground and let it there. "You don't call that way to a queen, dog!" he opened a pocket knife. "Do you listen well or…" he put it close to his ear. "Maybe I need to clean here."

The man kept in silence. Shiva smiled and placed his feet over the body of their boss.

"Who is Ernest?" she asked to the men. "I want to know, right now."

Nobody talked.

"C'mon, tell me your names. I don't like to wait."

"Me neither…" Andrzej pushed a bit his pocket knife to make bleed the exterior of the ear and made the man yell. "Are you Ernest?"

"Ah…" Jan laughed. "Indeed, this is the importance of being Ernest."

Of course, not all of them understood the joke, but Shiva laughed anyway.

"No! I'm not!" the man yelled. "He is Ernest! He is!"

Andrzej removed his knife and pulled his head. The poor man moved his hand and pointed to the man who was in the other side. Well, he couldn't point without an index finger.

"So you are the famous Ernest?" Shiva laughed as her hand move to receive a wrench. "You are the one who hit my beautiful Andromeda… ah, such a terrible day to be called Ernest."

And without expecting more, the hit went directly to his nose to make it bleed. Shiva didn't wait too much to throw another terrible hit to the man with the tool in her hands. But then she felt a touch in her shoulder and a little pinch over it. It meant 'stop' in the language between her and Jan.

"I think you shouldn't do this."

"I want to keep playing." She pouted.

"You aren't like this…" Perttu said in low voice. "I think the Black Saints already believe and trust in you, my queen."

"You don't tell me what to do." She smiled to then throw a last hit with the tool.

"Well, you can get your hands dirty." Jan said giving another pinch. This made Perttu a bid angry.

"Oh, I can take a bath after this." Shiva said to throw the wrench to Eren so he could catch it. "I finished with him, now is yours." She then held Jan's hand and give some steps over the body of the other gang boss to stop in front of the last two men. "Well… now a last one." She lay her arm over Jan's shoulder and kissed his cheek. "Who is the one who almost kill you?"

"I don't know." He answered.

"How is he going to know?" one of the men over a motorcycle asked. "He is blind."

"I don't know who is… because he hasn't talk yet." Jan smiled. "I heard the three voices, but none of them was the one who did this to me."

The Queen turned to see the only man that didn't talk.

"Say something." She said as an order. "Say anything you want, because will be your last words."

Everyone was in silence, even Eren took some pause as he was dragging the body of the other man. Shiva didn't like this, she didn't have all the time of the world, so she order him to talk once again and he needed to be quickly.

"I'm so sorry, please don't kill me."

"Yes, he is." Jan said holding his cane to turned and give it to Shiva.

The beautiful cane was made of wood, but the point of it was a beautiful decorated piece of silver.

"Such terrible last words." She smiled. "Hold him." As she said that, Andrzej and Perttu made him lay on the floor and one of them opened his eye. "Well, if you don't die because of the pain, maybe you can think in other last words. But…" she stand at his side. "I don't think you will do it."

In a terrible agony, the man was trying to escape when he saw the silver point coming close to his eyes. He began to yell, he tried to move or do something, and even other Black Saints needed to hold his feet and body. The light of the motorcycles and the house made the silver point shine as never.

Jan came close to Shiva and placed his hand around her hand over the cane. He held her hard, like letting her know she should stop.

"Promise me this will be the last time you do this." Jan said coming close to Shiva, as it was a secret.

"As I said, I love all of you, my darker Dragon." She answered to kiss his lips. "I will do this to anyone who dare to touch any of you."

"You are an independent woman, do as you wish."

And without a word more, he pushed the cane.
