Warnings - Mention of Child Molestation /Thoughts.
Chapter 6
Katherine felt like she was underwater. She couldn't breathe. The sounds around her was muffled, fading in and out. She blinked wildly as she stared at her bare feet. Then took a short sharp breath and felt her father's fingers squeeze lightly on her shoulders. She knew that he wanted her to lift her head, to greet the men he had invited over. But the idea of looking up at Bob Stevens terrified her. She could feel his eyes on her, studying her. Roving over her like a hunter, watching its prey before it would strike.
Bob exhaled softly. He couldn't believe it. The little girl that had been consuming his dark thoughts over the last few days was standing in front of him. Angelic and small. Dressed in that delectable white nightdress. This was a good opportunity for him. His eyes flicked up momentarily at Fred as he ushered his daughter further into the kitchen. If he could build up a rapport and form some trust between them both, he could then hopefully create some trust with his daughter and lure her away. It was how he had managed to entice that other little girl away in Lancaster. The little girl only lived a few doors down from him in the apartment complex and was so gullible. It only took him a few weeks to bait her away from her mother. Could this little girl have the same characteristics as her? But the mere fact that he had his little pup Jasper was a coy way to attract the children and this little girl had met his pup.
Maybe coming here was a good idea.
At first, he was wary of accepting Fred's invite to the house. He was a stranger and unsure how people would react to him. Though, Fred was approachable and was kind to him whenever he spoke over the last week.
Now, he was thrilled that he accepted the invitation.
His eyes scanned slowly over her little frame. Her head was bowed with her hair falling over the sides of her shaking face like a veil. The way her body trembled as she stood before him surprised him. Was she scared of him or just shy?
Freddy lightly pushed Katherine forward again. "Come on baby, say hello to everyone"
The tremors that wrecked her body increased and she took a hesitant deep breath, then lifted her shivering face. Her lips curled upwards into a forceful smile. "Hello"
Kevin and George smiled pleasantly in her direction, before turning their attention to their liquor in their plastic bags. Krueger ignored them and took a fleeting look at Bob seeing the faint smirk that played at his lips. The man's eyes were glossy, lost in thought. Freddy knew damn well what the fucker was thinking. He was considering what their new and potential 'friendship' would bring him. An opportunity to manipulate their camaraderie to she could get closer to his daughter and build a bond with her so he could entice her away.
Hell, it was the same tactics he had occasionally used when Loretta was alive. His bitch of a wife was always friendly with the neighbours, frequently persuading him to go to summer barbeques or get togethers at their homes when Katherine was about three or four years old. At the start Freddy detested it, but when he began to become friendly with the children it clicked in his mind that he could use it to his advantage. And he did. Managing to develop a trust with the children and their parents. He had strengthened that trust when he had invited a few of the brats over for 'playdates' with Katherine during the summer. Despite the children being a few years older than Katherine, his daughter didn't mind as she loved to make new friends. She used to be such a sociable child.
In time some of the children called him Mr Freddy.
When the trust was solidified with the children, he made his move. When he saw one of them in the park playing on their own, he had ensnared them away. Why would they doubt him? He was seen as a friend of the family. Someone they could trust.
But he abused that trust.
Taking them to his boiler room, to abuse and torture.
Naturally their parents were distraught. And Freddy had played his role of a concerned, terrified father. Expressing his sympathy and horror at what had happened to their children. But inside he was laughing, full of sadistic glee and triumph.
Freddy knew that this bastard standing before him would use the same approach as he did. But the fucker was in for a surprise. A nasty surprise. Oh, he would play along tonight. But he had to pull Katherine aside tomorrow to discuss his plans in more detail with her. It was a twisted game he was playing with Bob and the outcome would be Bob's death.
Taking a quick glance down at his daughter, Freddy saw her feet shifting from side to side. She was agitated and uneasy at being around so many adults and interacting with them. He rubbed her back lightly and walked around her towards the kitchen counter. He helped take a few cans of beer from Kevin and George and began to chat to them.
The strange feeling of a pair of eyes on her made Katherine look up and she swallowed the lump in her throat. Bob Stevens was staring down at her. His eyes narrowed, gleaming with dark intent. Why would he not look somewhere else? She saw Kevin and George crossing the kitchen to the table and settled into their seats. Kevin was at the top of the table with George to his left. His back facing the counter. They cracked opened their beers and chatted animatedly.
A shadow crept over her, and she saw Bob walk past her with his own twelve pack of Budweiser. Her breath caught in her throat, and she spun on her heel trotting over to her father. He managed to rip open the last case of beers and placed them on the counter. He felt a hand tug at the bottom of his navy shirt and looked down into Katherine's wide brown eyes. He crouched slightly and reassured. "It's okay, you're doing great baby. Do you want some candy? And one of your coca-colas?"
Her head bobbed up and down quickly. "Yes, please"
He reached into his back jean pocket and pulled out a small package wrapped in brown paper. "I got something for you. Your own playing cards"
"Really?" Katherine beamed.
He ripped apart the paper and she giggled softly at the cartoon designs on the front card. It was a special addition of cards that were illustrated in Disney characters. With the Mickey mouse as the King, Minnie Mouse as the Queen and Pluto the Dog as the Jack. Her eyes broadened in excitement. Each card was black and white. Ready to be coloured in. "Thank you"
Freddy kissed the top of her temple and rose to his feet. He took her packets of candy and the remaining packet of her popcorn and shook out copious amounts of each of them into three small white bowls, placing them on the table. Katherine looked over towards the table and saw that Bob had taken his seat to the left facing George. Her eyes zipped away from his and scanned the table. In the middle was another set of playing cards beside three small white ceramic ashtrays and a few bowls of peanuts for the men.
Crack.
Her head whipped up as she saw her father pop open her Coca-Cola with his teeth. Taking it eagerly in her hand she followed him back to the table and saw a plastic packet of new colouring in markers and she laid her puzzle book beside it. The chair screeched against the linoleum floor and Freddy sat in his chair. Katherine lowered her eyes away from Bob as she submissively climbed onto her father's lap and began to pull out her own playing cards.
The words of her father and the other men zoomed in and out as they began to chat. She briefly heard the word 'poker' being mentioned and 'dollars.' This morning she had asked her father what games they would be playing, and he had described the game poker to her and that they would be gambling for money. The rules of the game were a little too complicated for her young mind to understand. The only games she could play with her father was 'Snap' and 'Jack Change It'
Freddy snatched the playing cards from the middle of the table and began to shuffle them. Katherine watched with wonder as the cards shuffled fast tween his fingers. As she pulled her eyes away from his hand they averted for the moment towards Bob. His eyes were glued on her. They bored into her own for a few seconds before she timorously looked away down towards her own playing cards. She exhaled slowly and began to count them out, sorting them out into clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades. The skin on the back of her neck prickled and she slowly raised her eyes across the table towards Bob.
The slightest smirk crept over his face and soon disappeared as Freddy glanced in his direction. Krueger bit down on his tongue as he fought hard to push down his urge to punch the fucker. He quickly dished out five cards to each of them and soon the first game of the night began.
Minutes ticked by as they quietly gossiped while playing their first few games of poker. The curious gaze from Katheirne never left their hands as they deftly exchanged a few cards from their hand to new ones from the deck that was placed in the middle of the table. She was mesmerized by how intense their stares were as they played. In the middle of the table was a cluster of green dollar bills.
Her right hand reached down to grab a few pieces of her razzle's and popped them into her mouth, chewing slowly and then she let her concentration linger back on one of her puzzles.
Smoke floated in the air as Kevin, George and Bob smoked their cigarettes and cigars. Kevin hesitantly looked over towards Freddy and then at his daughter. "Fred, you know we can smoke outside…"
Freddy shook his head and pulled out his own smokes and lighting one up. "It's okay. I smoke around her. She's okay with it. Aren't you, honey?"
Katheirne glimpsed down at his left hand as he lightly rubbed her knee. "Yes, daddy"
"What's your daughter's name?" Bob blew a plume of cigar smoke up into the air. His eyes lingered on Katherine's face, then to her father. Waiting for his answer.
The fingers on her knee went taut, curling around her kneecap tightly. She gulped and threw a concerned glimpse over her left shoulder at Freddy. His face was impassive as he stared at Bob, then he whispered softly. "Go ahead, you can talk to him"
Katherine coughed nervously as she cleared her dry throat and lifted her fearful eyes to Bob's face. "K-katherine. My name is Katherine"
The corners of Bob's lips coiled up into a satisfying smile as he savoured her name. His eyes lingered back on her delicate face, tracing the contours of her cheeks and lips. Unfortunately, he did not notice the stern look of disgust that Freddy leered at him. He was too preoccupied studying the little girl in front of him. Slowly, his bottom lip parted and leisurely skimmed his tongue along the bottom row of his teeth.
Katherine shuffled uneasily on her father's lap. Scared by what she had witnessed. It was the same mannerism her father would do whenever he would stare at her when he would bring her to his bedroom. The faint glide of his slick tongue over his lips or teeth. The famished look in his eyes. But she knew that her father loved her. This man didn't. He was dangerous. Bob Stevens wanted to hurt her. Use her…
"That's a beautiful name"
She looked up sharply at Bob's words.
Freddy lightly tapped her knee twice. Signalling her to reply.
"Thank you"
The satisfied smile remained on Bob's face as he relished again her soft voice. Fuck, it sounded beautiful. She was ravishing. It didn't take long before a deep burning sensation began to swell in the pit of his stomach. A feeling he knew so well. It festered, spreading downwards towards his groin. He snatched his beer and took a long slug of his drink, before looking back at her again. She had her face lowered as she silently studied her puzzle book. Her pencil slowly circled around a line of letters in the word search. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she concentrated. The way her dimples appeared her on her cheeks and the texture of her pink lips, so soft and subtle made his arousal intensify.
He couldn't wait to kiss those little lips….
Freddy snubbed out his cigarette and took a fleeting look at Kevin and George. They were too busy in their own conversation. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Bob gnawing on his lips, and he shifted on his chair. His right-hand dipping in between his thighs as he finally took his gaze away from his daughter.
He knew exactly what this unctuous motherfucker was thinking. The asshole was being aroused by looking at Katherine. Freddy grounded his teeth together and his left hand curled into a fist on Katherine's lap. His hand began to tremble in fury.
Cool it Freddy, you know that would happen tonight…
"Daddy…."
He shoved his anger to the side and peered down at Katherine as she twisted around to him, eyes wide with inquisitiveness. "What is it, baby?"
She nodded in the direction of Kevin and George as they popped opened two small red and silver tins. Inside were a variety of cigarette skins, small white cigarette tips, tobacco and two small plastic bags of what looked like green-ish/brown balls clustered inside. They were perhaps four or five of them. "What are they doing?"
Freddy sighed softly. He knew that this would happen. But still she didn't want her to know what it was. He saw Kevin crunch and break apart a small ball of cannabis and began to sprinkle some amongst a thin layer of tobacco in one of the skins. "Kevin. George"
The men looked up.
"You know to smoke that outside. Right?" Freddy glared at them.
Nodding quickly, they finished making up their spliffs and rose to their feet heading towards the kitchen door.
"Why are they going outside to smoke?" Katherine frowned confusedly.
"I don't want them smoking it around you. It's not a nice smell" Freddy squeezed her knee lightly.
"Huh? Not a nice smell?" She twirled her face towards him. Freddy chuckled at her look of bewilderment. He loved that little look.
"Do you want another beer, Bob?" He pulled his gaze away from her.
"That'd be great thanks" Bob smiled.
Freddy slowly pushed Katherine off his lap. "Be a good girl and get four beers for all of us. You know where they are"
Katherine nodded obediently and trotted over towards the fridge. Leaning back in his chair Freddy shrewdly allowed Bob full view of her as she pulled opened the silver handle of the fridge. It was time to seduce the cunt a little more….
The wrinkles on Bob's eyes constricted as he peered over at Katherine. She bent her chest forward as she unwittingly pushed out her ass and reached into the bottom shelf of the fridge. The thin material of her nightdress scrunched upwards, riding up her thighs revealing the smooth pale flesh of the back of her legs.
Freddy casually stole a glance over at Katherine then back at Bob. His eyes then lowered to the cards as he shuffled them. Out of corner of his eye he saw Bob's lip's part again and slither his tongue along the rim of his bottom lip. The fucker wasn't even hiding his reaction from him. The look of lust that emanated in his eyes, visible on his face.
He knew exactly what Bob was staring at. The fleshly thighs of his daughter. The rim of her ass cheeks hidden underneath her nightdress. It was all going according to plan.
Katherine muttered quietly to herself as curved her body further forward and quicky shoved a few bottles of milk and orange juice to the side. Why did her daddy have to put all the beer in with the other groceries? It was difficult to get the beers out. She reached her right hand in and clamped her fingers around a can and yanked it out.
Bob snapped his eyes close for a few seconds and inconspicuously trailed his left hand in between the apex of his jeans. His palm rubbed hard against his raging cock that pressed firmly against his jeans. The sight of that little girl bent over like that, showing her little thighs…. fuck, it was amazing. He wanted her. No, he needed her. He had to bid his time though. Give her time to trust him.
Her father was very approachable and friendly. The foundations of trust were starting to be created between them both. Bob snapped his eyes opened and they flew towards her as she continued to shove pieces of fruit and vegetables to the side, stretching her arm inside for two more cans of beer. Her ass was stuck in the air. She had no clue the edge of her pants was on show…
Bob bit on his bottom lip. If only her father wasn't in the room. How he would love to bend her over his knees, naked and ready for him…
Freddy flicked his eyes upwards towards Bob, hearing a faint moan. Oh, the cunt was turned on alright. The sight of Katherine bending over like that was working. He saw Bob lower his face. He was too preoccupied by his own lust that he failed to see him looking at him. Ignorant fucker.
Placing down the cards Freddy finally turned towards Katherine and saw the edge of her pants covering her precious little sweetness. His right hand slithered up his right leg and brushed over his own cock that was steadily becoming hard.
As he had said to her earlier. She was going to be a little cock-tease…
And his cock was throbbing.
He composed himself and called over. "You need any help, honey?"
Katherine huffed annoyingly. At last, he was going to help her. She rose to her feet and cradled the three cans in her arms, nodding quickly. She took a step to the right as Freddy walked over to her and quickly bent to grab the last can of beer. As he rose to his feet, she saw the slight sneer on his lips as he took a glance at Bob. Why was he angry? Was it because of him or was it something she did? Looking up at him she saw the deadpan expression on his face. A wave of apprehension swept through her. She wished that this evening was over. Why could he not let her go up to her room?
Heaving a little sigh, she followed him back to the table and set the three cans on the table. He then grabbed her hand and whispered. "Give one over to Mr Stevens"
Katherine blinked. Did she hear him say that? Her eyes swerved towards Bob then back to her father. "What?"
"Give the beer to Bob. Go on" His head nodded sharply over at the man.
Why was he doing this to her? She pouted sadly and slowly took the can in her hands. They shook hard as she walked around the back of his chair and sluggishly made his way towards Bob. He gazed down at her as a heartfelt smile spread over his lips. Her right arm vehemently trembled as she stretched out the can to him, stopping a foot from him. His strong right hand wrapped around the base of the can and slowly his fingers brushed hers as he tugged the can from her. The roughness of his skin made her shiver and the image from her nightmare flashed through her mind…
Katherine took an unsteady deep breath and spun away back towards her father. Freddy slowly slid the other two beers towards the middle of the table for Kevin and George. They appeared to be taking their time smoking their spliffs. He felt Katherine snuggle back onto his lap and with two firm hands he gripped her waist and tugged her back against his chest. As reached for her pencil to continue one of her puzzles her hand froze. Feeling him push his hard on against the bottom of her spine. She gulped slowly and his course lips gently brushed against her hair. She knew that he was 'excited'. Over the last year he had explained to her that whenever he was in this 'state' that he was happy and it dawned on her that whenever Bob and the other two men were gone, that she would have to help relieve that excitement.
The faint murmuring voices of Kevin and George broke the strained silence as they entered the kitchen. Katherine curiously looked up. Their clothing was slightly damp, and they shivered as they closed the door.
"It's pouring outside" Kevin muttered.
A faint pungent smell lingered in the air and Katherine scrunched her nose in distaste. She craned her face to the right and peered up at Freddy. "What's that smell?"
He smirked at her and hushed. "It's okay. It's nothing"
She shrugged her shoulders and turned her attention back to her puzzle.
"Anyone want a vodka?" George pulled out a litre bottle of vodka from a plastic bag from underneath his chair.
Bob gave an eager nod. Though Freddy considered his response. He did enjoy the odd vodka or whiskey. But he barely touched the stuff around Katherine. He didn't want to come across a bore. Slowly, he pushed Katheirne off his lap again. "I'll get us some glasses"
He handed out four small glasses and then yanked Katheirne back onto his lap. She watched silently as George poured out four generous servings of vodka and she gazed interestedly at the clear liquid I the glass. "Can I smell it daddy?"
Freddy rolled his eyes in disbelief and titled the rim of the glass towards her nose. She took a quick sniff and then recoiled her head away in disgust. "Eugh, that's stinking!"
The men chucked heartedly at her statement and soon another game began.
George poured out another four shots of vodka then handed them out. Krueger knocked his second shot back and then wiped at his mouth. "That's enough for me George"
His co-worker nodded and screwed the top back onto the bottle.
"I saw your daughter the other day in my street. Well, at least I think it was her" Bob abruptly commented.
Katherine's hand froze mid-air, and she glanced quickly up at him. Seeing the sly smirk flashing in her direction. Her knees rattled against each other in fear. The warm hands of her father soothingly rubbed over her legs up and down as he attempted to appease her anxiety. She then saw out of the corner of her eye her father raising his eyebrows in mock surprise. "Oh, really? She never told me"
Bob nodded as he took a sip from his beer. "Yeah, she was interested in my dog. Do you remember what you call him?"
A knot formed in her throat. Her eyes darted towards her father's and his right fingers tapped lightly on her knee giving her permission again to talk.
She straightened up a little on his lap and politely gave Bob her full attention. Her voice shook slightly. "J-jasper…. you said his name was Jasper"
He frowned as she embarrassingly looked down at her lap. "She seems very shy. Why is that?"
"She was bullied last year" Freddy admitted. "It has affected her confidence. But she can be very outgoing when she gets to know you"
Katherine slowly took a deep breath and lifted her face as Freddy twisted her around to him.
"She's very good at art. Loves to draw" Freddy continued and cupped her chin, gently tipping her face upwards to his. "Why don't you show them your drawings?"
Her jaw juddered opened in surprise. "W-what?"
"I think the guys would like to see your drawings"
"I'd love to see them" Bob grinned over at her.
A blaze of heat flushed across her cheeks, and she hesitantly nodded. "Okay. I'll get them from my bedroom"
"Good girl" Freddy cooed.
The moment she entered her bedroom Katherine slumped against the door and choked back a sob of relief. These new few minutes were a welcome reprieve. The last few hours had been harrowing. Evey time she looked over to Bob his eyes were focused directly on her. Scrutinizing every line of her face, her body. Like he wanted to devour her. The glow of hunger that shone in his eyes was undeniable. It was the look he gave her in the park and when she was standing outside his garden.
When her father had asked her to retrieve the beers from the fridge, she had seen the sneer of fury in on his face. As usually she doubted herself. Was he angry with her? Or was it, Bob? Did he see the same ravenous look that Bob was giving her? Had that caused him to become furious, consumed with rage?
She always remembered throughout the years that her father was jealous of other adults speaking to her or looking at her. He had been honest with her and told her this on numerous occasions. He saw her as his and she agreed with him. She did belong to him. Always had and always would.
Katherine ran her rapidly through her brown locks and pulled out a small pink folder from the top drawer. It consisted several of her most recent paintings and sketches. From the park – the fountain, a few birds she saw lingering on the benches of the tree and the playpark. As she turned to venture back downstairs, she pondered on whether she should bring her colouring pencils and art pad. Making a quick decision she grabbed them and hurried back down to the kitchen.
Masculine hearty laughter greeted her as she scurried towards her father and pulled out her drawings. She saw that there were several more beers laid out before them. Their laughter slowly subsided as they eagerly chatted to one another, before Freddy ushered her towards Bob. "Show him your drawings"
She awkwardly laid them out before him and blushed as he praised her. Giving her words of encouragement. Slowly he raised his right hand and laid it on the top of her spine, rubbing her back lightly and she timidly took a step back taking her pictures in her hands. She flashed him a small smile and hurried back ono Freddy's lap as he possessively curled his hands around her stomach. Much to Bob's disappointment.
"What are you drawing?" Freddy murmured in her ear as she began to sketch a line on a blank piece of paper.
"I'm drawing you all playing cards" She muttered.
He chuckled and regained his attention back on the card game. The minutes ticked by as the men continued to consume their drinks and divulging in their smokes. The conversation began to become frolicsome as Kevin and George discussed their love life. Particularly the women working in their job. They told a few risqué jokes and soon their talk turned slightly vulgar.
"What about Barbara?" Kevin knocked back his beer as he glanced at George "You not going to pursue a relationship with her? How many times have you met up? Five times?"
George scoffed. "Not a fucking chance. She's too intense, talks too much. The only thing her mouth is good for is giving me a blow job!"
Freddy slammed his can on the table and leered over at the men, "Guys…" He gave a curt nod towards Katheirne. "Can we tone down the talk?"
Kevin and George coughed nervously and flashed an apologetic smile at him. "Sorry Fred"
A soft yawn caught his attention, and she stared down at Katheirne as she laid her head against his lean chest. Her mouth covered her lip as she stifled her yawn. He glanced at his watch. It was approaching mid-night. She was exhausted. "Don't worry, it won't be long"
"How old is your daughter?"
Freddy's eyes veered towards Bob. "She'll be ten in two weeks"
"Where is her mother? Your wife?" Bob lifted his can of beer to his lips. He watched both their reactions. Katherine's eyes fell to her lap and Freddy's body went rigid, slightly tense at the question.
Freddy dug his fingers on his right hand hard onto Katherine's right knee, making her wince slightly. The nerve of the fucker to ask him that. He snatched his beer from the table and took a slug, before muttering. "She left us several years ago. It's something I don't talk about. It upsets Katherine"
"Mmm, okay" Bob murmured. The answer seeming to satisfy him.
A strained silence suddenly fell upon the men as they finished their last few games of poker. Before Kevin and George began to gather their jackets. "We're going to head here Fred. Thanks for tonight"
Freddy smiled up at them and nodded. Thank fuck they were leaving. His hard arousal needed to be seen to. And his little girl would be helping him out. "No problem. Thanks for coming"
Bob sighed as he rose to his feet. Deciding to call it a night too. "I must be off too. I can't leave my pup for any longer. Maybe I could bring him over for Katheirne to play with"
"Oh, that sounds like a great idea" Freddy slid Katherine off his lap. "Doesn't it sweetheart?"
Katherine gave a shy nod. "Yes daddy"
The only thing she wanted now was to sleep. Her nice, warm, soft bed was calling for her.
Her left hand was entangled with Freddy's as he led her down the hallway after the men as they ventured to the front door. Kevin and George drunkenly waved goodbye, while Bob lingered in the doorway of their home. He pleasantly smiled down at her. "It was lovely to meet you, Katherine. Hopefully see you soon"
Freddy sneered at him and the moment he turned towards him; the sneer disappeared. A forthcoming smile now graced his face. "Thanks for coming Bob. I hope you enjoyed yourself"
"Oh, I did" He took another glance down at Katherine. "Bye, goodnight"
The moment he stepped down onto the path Krueger closed the door and spun towards his daughter. A dark, throaty chuckled erupted from him as slowly bent down towards his daughter. Tonight was a success. She had behaved impeccably and had teased Bob without even being aware of her actions. Bob Stevens was hooked on her. He had seen the signs. The glint of desire in his eyes. The subtle way he bit his lip, slicked his tongue over his lip and that licentious moan.
"How was I daddy?"
"You were great, Kitty Kat" Freddy enveloped her in his arms and pulled her into the air. He wrapped her legs around his waist and swung her towards the nearest wall. She fought back the urge to gag at the faint stench of beer and vodka that stemmed from his mouth. He gently pressed her back against the wall, and she suddenly felt it. His hard on pushing against her lower stomach. She turned her head to the right and shivered.
"Now…." Freddy gripped her chin and jerked her gaze back to his. He slowly grinded himself against her stomach. "You need to help daddy out"
Katherine swallowed thickly and gave a frightened nod, knowing exactly what he wanted her to do…
