Sisters of Torture

by Chirkrasia

A known landmark of Lion City is the Tower of Torture, a long-standing tower where Lord Hank Fieron once lived. After his death, his three daughters took over and would torture and kill any sinners who wandered their way. However, just what happens when the city tires of their work...?

The three sisters of the Lord of Torture. Athough the title made the three seem terrifying, anyone who saw the current situation would not think such. Two with pale blonde hair, one with black. Those three sisters sat together in a small lounge, talking over tea and snacks. However, their conversation betrayed the calmly scene.

"I'm not sure if we have enough supplies to clean..." Said the youngest sister, Maiden.

"Can we just do it later?" Asked the middle sister, Rack.

"Girls, you can't skip out on cleaning week. The dungeons are starting to reek of corpses," said the eldest sister, Gibbet. She sighed and sipped her tea, annoyed at the two who seemed to only laze about when it came to cleaning week. The entire Tower, from top to bottom, had to be cleaned up- a task done only every six or so months.

"Blame Maiden!" Rack whined and took an eclair, chomping into it. She ended up getting a thin line of pink-hued creme on her lips, which was licked away immediately.

Maiden's only response to Rack's words was to hand her a napkin. Gibbet honestly found it creepy how the girl tended to never show emotion. Possibly, it was one of her best weapons when 'playing' with her victims. Otherwise, it was a severe handicap in social interactions.

As if she heard the thoughts resounding in Gibbet's head, a small smile was offered to the eldest sister. "I'm sorry, big sister Gibbet. I'll be sure to be more careful for now on."

Opening her mouth to give a tender reply, Gibbet suddenly froze in place. Bang, bang, bang! Crash! She looked at her sisters and stood, the others following in suit as the three ran down from the fourth floor to see what was causing such noise. Immediately, upon reaching the grand staircase that led down to the fourth floor, it was obvious: The townspeople had stormed the tower, and their eyes were set on the three girls.

Immediately, Gibbet tried to push Rack and Maiden behind her.

"W-what is the meaning of this?!" She shouted with an expression of anger. No answer received from the angry mob, who only advanced forward without hesitance. Running at them with a whip in hand, Rack was the first to get caught in the burning embrace of built-up hatred.

With her in their grasps, Maiden and Gibbet had no choice but to go willingly into the hands of darkness.
