Chapter 42 - The Box

Rosa squinted as the bright sunlight forced its way into her eyes. She groaned, as she normally started the day and lifted her head up.

She was still tied to the boat, completely naked. Rosa looked over and saw Vaas, also nude and sleeping soundly next to her.
"Vaas!" she whispered.
Vaas didn't stir.
"VAAS!" she said, her voice still quiet but more authoritative.
She kicked Vaas in the leg, hard,and he jolted awake.

"What the fuck?" he said, with a groan.
He pinched his eyes, blinked and sat up.
"Vaas, untie me please." Rosa said, annoyed at the state she'd been left in.
"Yeah, yeah, in a minute." Vaas said.
He lay back down on the boat again, his arm draped over his eyes.

"No, now." Rosa commanded, her voice now stern.
"Alright, alright, keep your fucking hair on."
Vaas got up and pulled on his boxers. He then crawled over to Rosa and untied her. Her arms felt deadened, the sudden sensation of the rushing blood making her feel dizzy.
"Shit." she said, slowly bringing her arms down. Pushing her self up, she got to her feet.

"Shit."
Her arms were covered in blood, her wrists purple and ripped into, the blood now clotting and scabbing over. Her hips were bruised green along with her inner thighs, from where Vaas had gripped his hands onto her. She felt her neck and winced slightly; it was laden with love bites, deep and also purple meaning they hurt a little to touch.

"Fucking hell, princesa, we had fun didn't we?" Vaas chuckled, letting out a whistle.
He had few marks on him as Rosa glared at him.
"It's not funny!" she said indignantly, "I have to go into the compound with most of this on show. Your men won't be able to keep their fucking tongues in their mouths. For fuck sake."

Rosa pressed her hand against her forehead and sighed, blinking back the tears. She wasn't really mad at Vaas, just at the thought of Vaas' men looking at her; her clothes weren't really for the modest type.
"Hey, hey." Vaas said and he pulled Rosa's arm down and cupped her face, caressing it with his thumb, "We had a great night didn't we? And my men won't dare say anything to you, not without me having their balls first. You can cover everything up with your makeup and you can clean your wrists. I think it makes you look sexy."

Rosa looked into Vaas' eyes and managed a weak smile.
"You're right. I'm sorry. I did have an amazing time last night."
Vaas smiled at her.
"There you go! Now let's go and find our clothes, it would be worse if you went into the compound looking like that, my men wouldn't be able to control themselves."
"I'm for your eyes only, baby." Rosa winked.

Rosa didn't need to worry about Vaas' men eyeing her up as they were all passed out on the floor.

Topless prostitutes covered every corner of the compound, one pair even asleep in the middle of sex. Bottles were strewn all over, the stench of alcohol and drugs fresh in the air. Rosa turned her nose up in disgust as she stepped her boot into a puddle of sick. Their DJ was passed out on top of the deck, his body moving every so often as the empty record was still spinning.

"I think they had more fun than we did." Rosa said.
"I doubt it." Vaas replied as he stepped over a body, "This place is a fucking mess."
It really was. All of the balloons that had been set up were either popped or drifted away and the dance floor was covered in a dubious brown and white powder.

"Give them all 5 more minutes. I'm gonna wake up Raul and tell him to get the bar set up with some tablets and water. These fuckers are going to be zonked out all day."
"Sounds like a plan." Vaas replied, Rosa about to walk away.
"Ah ah ah." Vaas said and pulled Rosa back into him, kissing her hard and long.
"What was that for?" she asked, a little dazed.
"Just because. I'm going to check on the hostages. God only knows when Hoyt is coming over."

"Hoyt is already here." came a voice. Rosa and Vaas both whipped around and stood before them was Hoyt, with two privateers behind him.
"Hoyt." Rosa said, "W - What are you doing here?"
"I've come to see you. I haven't heard from you in a few days. Seems like you've been doing just fine though."

Hoyt gestured around him to the men on the floor and Rosa smirked a little but then stopped.
"It was Vaas' birthday yesterday, so we were having a little fiesta." she replied.
"I don't care if it was the Queen of fucking England's birthday, my stock is 3 days late. I never ask of much from you Vaas, just that my shit gets delivered on time. Not too much of a big request is it?"
Hoyt's words were sly and cutting.

"Shit, boss, I totally forgot. Fuck, sorry."
Vaas rubbed the back of his neck a little.
"Hm, yes. Well, you two seem fine so I'll be collecting my product and going."
"So soon?" Rosa asked and moved towards Hoyt, "You've only just got here."

"I'll be back whenever I'm needed. I think it would be best if I leave you both to clean up. Maybe for you Rosa, to clean up yourself?"
Hoyt's eyes scanned Rosa's body and she suddenly became very conscious of how she was presented in front of him, hickeys and all. She blushed and lowered her head a little.
"I'm off then." said Hoyt, rubbing his hands together, "Vaas, a word."
Vaas nodded and Hoyt motioned for him to walk.
"See you soon, my English Rose!" Hoyt called and Rosa curtly waved.
She watched as the pair walked off out of the compound.

"Woo-hoo! Someone got fucking rough last night!" said Raul, laughing.
Rosa swiftly punched him in the gut and he groaned, wrapping his arms around his stomach and bending over slightly.
"Oww." he whined, "I was only messing with ya."
Raul rubbed his stomach and brought himself back up.

"Yeah, whatever. Listen, set the bar up with the pills from Doctor Earnhardt, you know, the ones for all types of hangovers and get some water and fruit. I'm gonna wake these jackasses up in a minute and they're not gonna be happy."
"Sure, I'll get on with it now." Raul began to walk away but stopped and turned.
"Did you have a good time last night though?" he said with a mischievous grin on his face.
Rosa smiled back at him and nodded.
"The best, Raul, the fucking best."
Raul laughed before getting on with his tasks.

Rosa went to the warehouse and searched the drawers until she found what she was looking for. Sauntering out into the compound again, she jumped onto the only available space, one of the stripper her arm in the air, she pressed down on the horn and the harsh noise came ringing out of it. Most of the men and the women quite literally jumped awake and started moaning.

"What the -?"
"My head!"
"Where's my bra?"
"The fuck?"

Rosa stopped the horn when they were all awake.
"FUCKERS! TIME FOR WORK! GET TO THE BAR AND GET WHAT YOU NEED, YOU CAN HAVE A BREAK BUT THEN I WANT THIS PLACE SPOTLESS!" Rosa shouted as the men all moaned again.

"Someone's wound up after a hard fuck!" a man shouted back.
The crowd stopped dead.
"Excuse me?" Rosa said, speaking to the group.
"I said, someone's wound up after a hard fuck!"

The crowd parted and a man stood in the centre. He was about 5'6 with tanned skin and styled hair. His bandana was wrapped around his ankle and he only had one boot on and no shirt.
"Who the fuck do you think you are?" Rosa said, clenching her fists.
"That's none of your concern, sweetheart. Look at you, you're covered in sex. Especially after we could hear you, 'Vaas! Oh harder Vaas! Please!'" the man mocked.
Rosa felt herself go hot.

"What the fuck did you just say to me?" Rosa said, the man scoffing.
"Did Vaas fuck your hearing out too?"
This man was cocky and arrogant and was intending on embarrassing her; it reminded Rosa of the man that she had killed way back when she had first arrived.

"You're messing with the wrong person." she said, her voice low as the crowd held their breath.
A fight was to break out at any minute.
"Oh yeah? You're just Vaas' fuck buddy, you don't mean shit."

"What the fuck did you just say?" a voice snarled.
Stood murderous, a machete in hand, was Vaas, his eyes dark.
"Vaas! I was just playing around! We were just joking! Honest." the man spluttered out.
He backed away as Vaas took a step forward. Vaas laughed a crazy laugh and Rosa smirked.

"I don't like it when people insult things that are mine. Especially insulting mi amor."
Vaas took a lunging step and the man jumped.
"Vaas, come on! I didn't mean it!"
The man was now pleading for his life and he knew it. The crowds anticipation was growing.

"Bring the box." Vaas said calmly as two members of the crowd ran off.
The man started shaking his head and putting his hands up.
"N - No, Vaas, please. Not the box."
The man was near to tears out of fear.

"It's either the box or I slice you up. Personally, I would prefer a little campfire." Vaas smiled evilly.
"Please, man, come on." the man begged.
"You embarrassed my hermana in front of everyone? I don't even know who the fuck you are. Therefore, you must die."
Rosa nodded in agreement and Vaas caught her eye and winked.

Two other pirates carried in a metal box with a small cage in the front.
"Put him in." Vaas said.
Nobody moved.
"ARE YOU ALL FUCKING DEAF? GET HIM IN THERE OR YOU ALL DIE!" Vaas screamed.

His tone then got all the pirates jumping forward to grab the man. They managed to get him in the box, kicking and screaming. Vaas slammed the door shut and locked it. The man was smacking his fists against it now and was screaming out bloody murder.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I CUT YOU UP INTO LITTLE FUCKING PIECES!" Vaas screamed.
The man was crying softly to himself.
"You okay, hermana?" Vaas asked.
The whole crowd of pirates turned and stared at her.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine."

Vaas winked at her. He bent down to the caging and flicked his lighter open.
"You know, this lighter, really sucks. Well, so much for poetics. You came into this life a functionless piece of shit. In death, it's time for redemption."
The man wailed.
"I'm in the mood for some hotdogs or chorizo or something, aren't you boys?"

There was a general murmur of agreement.
"Good, see. Too bad I don't have a fire to cook them on."
Vaas cupped his ear and moved closer to the metal box.
"What's the hermano? You want to be the fire? If you insist."

Vaas got to his feet and flicked the lighter open. He threw it onto the box which was already doused with petrol as it set alight, the man's skin crackling. A blood curdling scream resounded as the pirates and Rosa watched in awe at the man was being burnt alive. Vaas started laughing and swaggered over to Rosa. He glanced over his shoulder.
"EY, YOU FUCKS! GET TO WORK!"
The pirate scattered, the crackling of the fire and skin dying down a little.

"What did Hoyt want?" Rosa said.
Vaas tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"I'll tell you later, princesa. Go and get yourself cleaned up before anyone else says anything. You know where the bandages and shit are."
Rosa sighed and left Vaas.

As she walked off, he slapped her behind, making her jump but giggle. Vaas followed her movements, her body never failing to amaze him.

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay but alas, sleep had overcame me again! I will try and get better, but it is hard trying to write interesting chapters every night, especially now I don't have a story plan, since I fully killed of the Raykat. I have a few things in my mind and I have one chapter that I'm excited to write (fits in very well with the time of the year, kinda), so yeah. Stay golden, my little cherubs :) Happy reading!
