Chapter 17 - The Hunt

Rosa sauntered over to the new hostages. One, which wore a beanie and glasses lay dead on the floor, disemboweled and a couple of guys were shoveling him up. Two girls, a blonde haired one and a brown haired one, sat crying in a cage, huddled together. They looked in shock seeing Rosa walk past them, causing her to wave at them mockingly. The girls stayed in silence as Rosa continued walking until she could hear Vaas speaking to two men in the cage.

"Well, I hope your mama and papa really, really love you. Because you two white boys, you look very expensive. And I like expensive things."
Rosa rolled her eyes at Vaas taunting the men and walked into a shack to look at the new hostage's stuff. Two cameras sat on the table and Rosa took the better quality one and decided to place it on her and Vaas' bed with a note. Glancing up, she was met with a photograph of Citra, which had a rip through the paper and a knife pinned into it.
I wish, Rosa thought.

Skipping back to the warehouse, she placed the camera down and scribbled hastily down on a piece of paper. All of a sudden, she heard Vaas scream.
"I'm gonna give you 30 seconds and if the jungle doesn't eat you up alive I will."
Silence.
"What are you, fucking deaf? I SAID GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, YOU CHICKEN FUCK. RUN, FORREST, RUN!" he yelled, gun shots firing and dogs barking.
Rosa ran out to see what was going on. She couldn't remember the last time she had heard Vaas so wound up. Rosa found Vaas on the outskirts of the compound, standing cocky as he stared into the distance.

"Vaas, what the fuck? You scared the shit out of me." she said, leaning against the shack wall.
"Caught the two hostages trying to escape so I shot one of the brother's but the other one has gone off into the jungle. He'll not make it out alive. I've sent my boys after him." said Vaas, swinging an arm around Rosa's shoulder.
"Always so accommodating , dear Vaas. You never want them to leave." smirked Rosa.
She removed his hand from her and he looked offended.
"You'll have to come and find me if you want to play." she teased, running off into the compound.

Rosa grabbed a scrawny looking pirate as she walked, the boy looking terrified.
"Go up to Vaas in ten minutes and tell him to come and find me." she commanded.
"O-Okay." the pirate stuttered.

"Rosa! Hey!" called Raul.
Rosa turned to look and smiled.
"Raul! You okay?" asked Rosa, in a surprisingly good mood.
"Fine, fine. Saw that you got Hoyt off alright, that motherfucker can sure handle his liquor, the bar guy said he needs to order new stock as Hoyt drank it all."
"That's Hoyt. It takes a lot to get him drunk. Always has."
Raul laughed.

"You and Vaas seem to be getting on okay." he stated airily, waiting for Rosa to reply.
"Yeah. I thought it would be different because we're older and were apart, but it feels just the same, if not better than before. I belong here and feel more alive than I've ever done, unless I'm killing someone. Jesus, the buzz from a kill."
"I'm glad you're happy. And nothing can compare to that feeling. It's like power or something." said Raul.
"You took the words right out of my mouth, Raul. You're great."
"I'm sure Vaas would love to hear you say that." he laughed.
"Shit, that reminds me, I gotta go!"
With that Rosa was off to find the perfect hiding spot within her bedroom.

Ten minutes had passed and Rosa was squashed in a dark corner of the room, waiting for Vaas to come in. As if by thought transfer, the door clicked open and Vaas stepped in, his look sultry and seductive. He slammed the door behind him, making the warehouse echo.
"Rosa, where are you? Vaas wants to play."
She saw him walk over to the bed and pick up the note resting atop the camera.

If you can find me, you can take a victory photo.

Vaas put the note down and then disappeared to the floor. Rosa didn't know what he was doing but then she heard him.
"Rosa." he called, his voice sounding like it belonged in a creepy film, "Voy a por ti, Rosa." I'm going to get you.
Rosa's excitement peaked as Vaas turned the corner on his hands and knees, spotting Rosa behind the couch.
"Found you." he whispered and Rosa smirked.
"Time for the victory prize."

Vaas picked Rosa up and flung her over his shoulder, her squealing out of happiness. He dropped her on the bed, minding the camera and caressed her leg. He pulled off her top and dropped it, gently touching the material of Rosa's patterned, pink bra. He then slid off her skirt to reveal the matching underwear as Rosa blushed. Vaas picked up the camera and turned it on and a video started playing, automatically.

"To my brother Riley for getting his pilots license!"
Sounds of glasses clinking and cheering could be heard and Vaas shut the video off, smiling to himself. He flicked the camera to Rosa.
"Natural, princesa. Don't be embarrassed."

Rosa put her hands over her face and Vaas snapped away, a turned on look creeping onto his face. Rosa got more into it the more he took, pulling down a bra strap or biting her lip as the camera flashed. Vaas sat on the bed and Rosa took the camera off of him, straddling his lap. She kissed Vaas and pressed the button for a flash went off. Vaas then kissed her neck and Rosa took another photo before getting off his lap and hunting for her top.

"Why do you stop, princesa?" Vaas asked.
"That's just the taster." she winked, "Hide that camera in one of your drawers near the back, you don't want any of your men getting their hands on it."
Vaas nodded and got up and put the camera in the third drawer down.
"VAAS! VAAS! ONE OF THE RADIO TOWERS IS DOWN, NEAR CAMP MURDER!" a pirate shouted through the door.
"Let's go for a nice outing shall we?" Vaas held his hand out and Rosa took it, still pulling on her boot.
"Let's."

They had arrived at the radio tower near Camp Murder and one of Vaas' men was attempting to climb to the top but couldn't.

"You idiot fucks! Just leave it. It physically hurts me, it physically pains me, when you can't do shit."
Vaas pulled out his gun and shot the man trying to climb, his body falling down the tower, snapping like a twig against the metal.
"Ruthless and raw, just the way I like you." purred Rosa into Vaas' ear, making his hairs on his neck stand up.
"Of course, hermana." he replied and then groaned.
Another man was attempting to climb the tower.
"Jesus fucking Christ." he said through gritted teeth, "It's not an important tower, it's probably just the wind knocking it about or some shit, messing up my signals. I will get someone to fix it later, considering you fucks can't do anything right."

None of the pirates said anything and started getting onto the jeep as did Rosa. Vaas turned the key and the engine roared. He lead the front of the line but turned off down a little side slip and the other cars carried on.
"What are we doing?" Rosa asked as Vaas pulled up outside a little hut.
"We're going to go hunting." he said and Rosa's heart started beating faster.

"What are we hunting?" she asked, the need to kill something, anything, feeling like it was seeping through her pores.
"We're going to hunt a tiger." Vaas said, throwing a bow and arrow at Rosa.
"I know you're good with that, you learnt from the best, yours truly."
Rosa rolled her eyes again. Vaas made his way into the jungle and Rosa followed, both of them crouching down. Rosa found a position up on some rocks and sat there, awaiting the tiger to come prowling past. Suddenly, some leaves rustled and a branch snapped as a beautiful, orange tiger gracefully padded it's way through the foliage.

"Aim." Vaas whispered, almost inaudible.
Rosa pulled back on her arrow and took a deep breath.
"Wait for it." Vaas whispered, "Wait for it."
Rosa itched to kill, it was burning through her body. She needed to kill. The tiger turned its head up and looked at Rosa.
"Fire." said Vaas and Rosa let to of the arrow, hitting the tiger right between the eyes. It fell to the floor with a thud, dying almost instantaneously, and Vaas whooped.
"What a shot! Ay, ay, ay!"
Rosa jogged over to the dead animal and pulled her bow from its head. Vaas grabbed the tigers legs and dragged it to the jeep, hauling it into the back.

"Are you going to sort out those towers, Vaas?"
Rosa stroked the tigers fur, it still warm under her skin. She felt no remorse for killing such a stunning creature. It would look nice hung in their bedroom.
"It'll be fine, just a one off because of it being near the sea and the wind and shit. Nothing to worry about."

Vaas didn't realise how wrong he was.
