Chapter 31 - Nothing To Do

A couple of days later, and Rosa was up and about, hobbling about the compound.

Hoyt didn't want her out of bed but Rosa wouldn't have any of it. Vaas had been doing what he had done when he first joined Hoyt, sorting the hostages as to keep the business going, he had to carry it on over in South. Rosa wanted nothing more than to be back at her and Vaas' side of the island; she was going to bring it up to Vaas when she got the chance. She didn't really have anyone to talk to, except Raul; since Rich died, she was getting bored and lonely as Vaas and Hoyt were constantly dealing with business.

Sat outside in the sunshine, Rosa stretched her legs out, absorbing the heat from the sun.

She wore the same clothes except she was wearing her converse as they were easier to walk in with the pain of the wound. Under her tank was distinctive padding from where the bandages were tightly compacted, making one side of her stomach look huge and the other one tiny.

Doctor Earnhardt would change the dressing and clean out the wound every other day and Rosa had tablets to take every morning to fight infection but it seemed as if it was healing. Rosa had decided that it would be best if Doctor Earnhardt went with them when they returned to North, as soon as possible.

"Boo." said Raul, Rosa tilting her head.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be working?" she asked.
Raul plopped himself down next to her with a smile and shook his head.
"On a break. What are you doing anyways?"
"Nothing. It's so fucking boring here, I can't wait to get back to North."
"When was the last time you killed?"
"The big fight."

Rosa sighed. She needed something to do or else she was going to lose her mind.
"Go over to the hostage bit and torture some of them. Vaas'll let ya." Raul suggested.
"That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'll go and see what is on offer." Rosa got to her feet, "Thanks, Raul."
She smiled.
"Anytime." he replied.

Rosa walked over to the hostage area.

It was just like in the North compound but in Hoyt's section. Nothing had really changed since Vaas was last in charge there; the stage still stood where Rosa first killed and it sent chills down her spine just thinking about it but in a satisfactory way. She slowly walked into the area and all eyes turned onto her, including the hostages.

"Where's Vaas?" she asked, crossing her arms over her body.
"In that room, over there." replied a privateer and signaled to a door, to the left of Rosa.
She nodded and made her way over, and barged in.

"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M CREATING A MASTERPIECE HERE?" Vaas shouted.
"Wow, what a nice way to greet your girlfriend." she replied with a smirk.
Vaas looked up, a smile on his face when he realised who it was.

"Shit, Rosa, I didn't know it was you. What's up?"
"What's this masterpiece?" she asked.
Vaas stepped aside and gesticulated with his hands, proudly showing off his work.

In a chair, was a near dead man, bloody and disgusting. Vaas had cut his own name into his forehead in thick, jagged letters as the blood dripped into the man's eyes. He looked unconscious but softly whimpered in pain. Vaas had also cut a smile from his lips, up his cheeks like the Joker, the blood surrounding that crusting.

"He needed to lighten up a little, no?" Vaas stated.
Rosa bent down slightly to get a better look at the man. Vaas had poked a stick through the bottom of the man's nose, it sticking out widely on either side. His teeth had been extracted. The man was hardly even recognizable as a man, causing Rosa to make a low whistling sound.

"Truly beautiful, Vaas, nice work."
"Thank you, thank you. Did you want something in particular, princesa? I would really like to get back to my friend here."
"Yeah, actually. Is there anything for me to do around here?" Rosa said, "There is also something else but we can discuss that later on. When you're not as busy."
"All sounds very serious." Vaas joked, "But, you can, erm. Let's see ... There is a female reject outside, she can be your plaything for a bit and I will finish off with my friend here."
Vaas put his hand on the mans shoulder and pressed down; the man screaming out in pain, a sound of pure agony.

"It's fun. Let it all out on one of them, God knows you need it." Vaas stated.
Rosa felt her heart rate increase. A whole reject to do what she wanted with.

She kissed Vaas on the cheek as a sign of gratitude and left the room.

Rosa approached the reject cages and spotted a young looking woman, sniffling in the far corned of her tiny cage. She wore only some ripped underpants and a baggy, dirty t-shirt, looking like she had bathed in mud. Her thighs were covered in scratches and dried blood as so were her arms.

"Bring her out." Rosa ordered to one of the pirates.
He opened the lock with a key and dragged the girl out by her hair, handing her to Rosa.
"Thanks." replied Rosa and dragged the girl, still by her hair, over to the stage.

Rosa threw the girl down, so she hit her face on the edge of the stage causing her to cry, hard.
"Stop crying, please." Rosa sighed, "You're giving me a fucking headache."
Rosa circled the girl, limping a little, a slight twinge echoing it's way through her body but she ignored it.

"Hm, what to do with you."
Rosa balanced down on the heel of her feet and examined the girl more closely. She lifted her head slowly with exhaustion and tried to speak.
"P-Please. No more. I beg of you." said the woman.
Rosa smiled, sweetly.

"Aw, darlin'. I wonder how many times you've said that since you've arrived. Sort of poetic, isn't it?"
Rosa put her foot on the girls face and pressed in slightly, applying more and more pressure until she heard a crack. The girl recoiled in pain, sobbing and clutching her now broken jaw.
"You monster." she managed to mumble out.
Rosa let out a hearty laugh.

"There is a monster inside all of us. Some of us are just better at letting it come out to play." she replied.
"Don't you have any remorse? Any morality about you?" the girl cried, her words difficult to understand, but Rosa just about managed it.
"Everything's got a moral." Rosa replied, "If only you can find it."

Pulling out her knife, Rosa grabbed the girls face, causing her to scream out more. Rosa ever so slowly, pushed the knife into the girls arm and twisted it a little. She wasn't cutting to cause serious damage, she was cutting to simply get a reaction from the girl and it was working. The girl writhed under Rosa's touch, groaning in pain. Rosa extracted the knife in a swift movement as blood dripped off of the tip.

"How would you like a holiday memento? A little something to send you on your way?" Rosa joked.
Without warning, she ripped open the girls t-shirt, exposing her. Rosa followed in the footsteps of Vaas and carved a huge 'R' into the girl's chest. The girl screamed out, an animalistic scream, which was heard all over the compound.

"You're boring me now. All this screaming just isn't good." Rosa said.
She stabbed the girl in the throat; her cries making all of the pirates jump, mixed in with the gargling of the blood. Rosa simply kicked the body aside, her arms covered in a little blood.

"ONE OF YOU FUCKS CLEAN THIS UP!" she shouted.
Two pirates bounded onto the stage to drag the body away, some of the other hostages now starting to cry and whimper.

Rosa felt better after her torturing, more alive. She felt good in herself and had more of a spring in her step.

"Want to go and chat now, Rosa?" said Vaas from behind her.
She turned and threw her arms around him, minding the pulling on her stomach. She grabbed Vaas' tank in her hands and pulled it, giving him a huge kiss. He pushed his tongue into her mouth and she gladly accepted, her mind feeling like it was afloat. It felt like forever that they were stood there until Vaas stopped.

"What was that for?" he muttered under his breath so only Rosa could hear.
"I'm just happy." Rosa replied.
She took Vaas' hand and led him down to the beach. She let him go when they got there, pulling off her shoes and walking into the warm water, up to her knees.

"Having fun, princesa?" Vaas called.
"I'm on top of the world!" she replied, flicking some water into the air, laughing.
Rosa quickly rinsed the blood off of her hands and arms and then came out of the water, beaming from ear to ear. She sat down heavily, the sand sticking to her wet limbs as she tried to dry her hands and arms off a little with her tank.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" said Vaas, looking in adoration at Rosa.
He was happy too.
"I want to go back to North, Vaas. I want to continue my life with you, not go back into the past here. Sure, today was fun but it would be a million times better if we were at our compound."
"Our compound?" Vaas said.
He wiggled his eyebrows. Rosa pushed his shoulder and chuckled.
"Our compound." she replied.

"If that's what you want, then I suppose we can tell Hoyt tonight, gather those cocksuckers and be gone by tomorrow morning."
"Sounds great. Wonder if anything is different there?"
"It better not be." Vaas replied and he frowned a little; that thought hadn't crossed his mind.

"Enough of this talking. I wanna take you to your room and do unspeakable things to you." Vaas said.
He got to his feet and pulled Rosa up with him.
"How about we tell Hoyt the plans, kick him out of the office and you do unspeakable things to me on his desk?" Rosa suggested, flushing a little at what she had just said.
Vaas was turned on by this; very, very turned on.

"You're so bad, princesa." he said and he licked his lips, "What are we still waiting for then?"

Hey guys! Sorry for not updating in a few days, things have been pretty hectic at school, with open days and whatever and I have been very tired! It's a little bit of a challenge for me to update every day as like I've said before, I write these chapters very late at night and with everything that's been going on at school, I have been very tired and have just wanted to sleep. Nevertheless, should be regular updates tomorrow and on Sunday. Next week, is my birthday and I am going to watch Catching Fire on the Thursday night (which finishes very late) and then having like a two day, out of town, party. I will try and write some chapters before hand and update from my phone, but if this isn't possible, just know that I am not doing it on purpose! So yeah, this was just to kinda explain everything that had been going on, and I hope you aren't mad for leaving the update a little late (a girl needs her sleep!). Love you all, and happy reading!
