Come into my parlour... (closed for Ravvyn)

[DeathsKnight]

Vlad Drake

He turned on her and stepped closer, grabbing her hair and pulling back her head he leaned in close

"Stop whimpering like a fucking child, that was on the thigh, the thickest muscle in your leg and it impacted on your femur, the strongest bone in your body. You want to complain about pain? Maybe I should just pack away the gloves then"

He held out his hand and after a few seconds an icepick was placed in his hand, without a second thought he brought the pick swinging forward...drilling it into the thick wood of the chair, the metal resting against her thigh, a small tear in her jeans where the tipped grazed her. Vlad turned away and snapped his fingers, a female stepped into the light and started to strip Kate naked. When she was done she stepped back into the shadows, leaving Kate naked, with the cold steel of the ice pick pressed against her thigh. Vlad kept looking at the picture on the television

"It was not difficult to find him. After Gregor knew what to look for it was quite quick"

The image changed to that of a CCTV camera, one showing the lecturer receiving a blowjob in the parking lot from a student.

"He didn't stop at you Kate, he realized what power he had and is still using it to this day. Now if I remove him, kill him and make his body disappear why would you still consider me a monster?"

 

[Ravvyn]

Kate's eyes met his as he pulled her hair back, her mouth open to gather as much air as she could as he displayed his displeasure at her reception of pain. Her big brown eyes widened further when the ice pick appeared in hand.

When he swung the ice pick down at her she screamed louder than she had ever done before, her heart pounding incessantly even after it impacted the wood of the chair. He intentionally missed her but had come desperately close to not missing, the tip had ripped her jeans. A woman soon after came and stripped away her ripped top and bra, then pulled away her jeans and panties leaving her completely naked and revealing the bruise left by the mallet on her thigh. She was then shown a video of her old professor clearly taking advantage of another young woman. As much as it reminded Kate of herself she couldn't wish the fate Vlad was willing to impart on him.

"Killing isn't right. I... I am afraid. I don't want you to hurt me but I can't wish this on a person, I can't..." Her eyes watched the ice pick planted between her eyes mroe than the camera. Too afraid of what he would do to her with it to worry about her naked body being fully revealed to him.

"So you would rather have him abuse that power, take innocence away and then of course use them in his own perverted ways. Like you said he is too good to be caught by conventional means and giving him up for inspection will not help either. So what do you propose be done about this man?"

He still hadn't turned to look at her, he looked down at the ground

"Maybe I should just show him where his handy work ends up, bleeding and broken on a hospital bed, maybe that would make him see the wrong in what he is doing"

 

[Ravvyn]

"No, I don't... I don't know what to do. I don't think he should die though... I don't want anyone to die... You... you can't play God like this.... This isn't some movie, or some storybook... These are real people... real lives.... How can you do this? How can you be this evil?" She was exasperated, not knowing what to say, there was nothing she could do to convince him to stop his madness. How could she get through to him? There had to be something..

 

[DeathsKnight]

Vlad Drake

"Evil?"

He threw back his head and laughed, turning back to her, the knife suddenly back in his hand as if it reappeared there by magic.

"This real people you speak of, what gives them the right to do as they please? Step on others, breaking and ending lives? Is that God's will?"

He stepped close, his gaze ignoring her nakedness, instead boring into her eyes, resting his closed fists on her arms he leans close.

"How can they do what they do and not feel any repercussions? The day I kill an innocent, that will be the day that I deserve to be treated just like I treated them"

Lifting his hand he carved a V deep into her shoulder, he knew that it would sting, but wouldn't hurt too much. He watched the blood trickle from the cut and slowly licked his lips, then looked back at her

"Next question"

 

[Ravvyn]

She don't know how he did it but that knife was back in his hand, by now she had struggled so much that her ankles and wrists had grown sore from grinding against her restraints, that didn't stop her from struggling as he went on a higher than thou tangent. Justifying himself by incriminating others. He carved deep into her shoulder, two marks forming a V. God the sicko was going to carve his name in her like she was his property.

"What about me? I'm innocent, at least compared to you. You're going to kill me. Why do I deserve to die?" Her naked body was forming goosebumps from the cold air, the combined wounds were starting to take their toll on her. She was growing tired, light-headed and weaker as her injuries mounted. Somewhere in the back of her mind she even started to wish he would just finish her and be done with it, hope of survival was fading more and more as he prolonged his torture.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Vlad Drake

"If you die it will be for a reason"

He licked her blood from the blade, it tasted so good. As long as she worked along she would not die, well not unless his hand slipped. He gave the knife to the woman in the shadows, and she handed him a syringe. He injected her and the sedative worked along with her own fatigue to knock her out. He looked her over and the woman stepped back into the light, leaning in against him

"She is innocent, but she knows too much by now"

He nodded

"I know, but you know that we don't kill innocents"

She heaved a sigh and ran a finger over Kate's arm and over her torso, he gloved fingers brushing lightly over Kate's skin.

"You want her don't you?"

Vlad chuckled

"Yes, but I will not have her, she hates me too much now"

He turned away and walked to the door

"Tell Gregor to make the arrangements, when she wakes up we will continue"

After he left the two maids entered and together the three of them, tended to Kate's wounds, then carried her to a bedroom, where she was strapped down securely and covered up from the chill night air.

 

[Ravvyn]

Kate's last sight was of a woman's hand handing him a syringe, after that all faded to black and a dreamless sleep ensued, when she awoke however at first no memory came to her and she felt rested, almost at peace. As her eyes finally cracked open the peace came to an end as she laid her eyes on him, sitting on the edge of the bed she was in. Her first instinct was to sit up and back away from him but she soon found she had been strapped tight to the bed much like the chair.

"How long have you been sitting there?" She wondered what sort of sick things he might have done to her while she was out but for the most part her body felt better than it had before she was put to sleep.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Vlad Drake

He looked as she woke up, it seemed like the rest did her good.

"I've been waiting for the past half hour,"

He got up,

"Don't worry, I didn't touch you while you were asleep."

He walked to her side and leaned over her with his hands behind his back,

"You must be thirsty and hungry, would you like anything to eat or drink?"

If she declined, she will have a long day ahead of her, if she accepted; she would have get what ever she want apart from a phone call or her freedom.

 

[Ravvyn]

If his word could be trusted she was relieved that he had not touched her while she was asleep, though that was as big an if as ever there was.

"So... what are you sympathetic kidnapper? I don't get it... I don't get why you are doing this. I was just writing an article, I didn't have anything on you except a name that was readily available to whoever went into the Realtor's office. Why won't you just let me go?" She didn't respond to his query about hunger or thirst as she assumed anything he fed her would be poisoned anyway. She would have to fight the pain of being parched and hungry just like she had fought the pain from yesterday. She had to wonder if there was some maniacal reasoning behind this. Maybe he was performing some experiment to see how other human's reacted, to test their pain threshold. It was a disturbing thought, but everything about him was disturbing. Including the members of his staff.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Vlad Drake

"Did you not trespass on private property and demanded my time? Now you have it and you don't want it. No wonder you don't get far in your work"

He moved the covers from her shoulder and inspected the mark on her shoulder and grunted his satisfaction. It was clean and would not get infection, next he pulled the cover away to inspect her hand, the slice between her fingers was also clean and sealed. Good.

"Are you sure about that food and drink? I'll even sample it along with you to prove it edible or drinkable. If I want to poison you I'd just inject you, much easier"

He gave a dry chuckle and looked at her again, she was actually a very pretty woman, if only circumstances was different.

 

[Ravvyn]

How did one argue with a maniac? Yes she trespassed and yes she had wanted an interview with him but the circumstances were not so cut and dry as he seemed to think.

"Keep your food. All I want to know now is if there's any way I will get set free or when you're going to just kill me. What do I have to do for you to just end this?" She wasn't certain she wanted the answer but it was out there now and if there was any chance at all she could appease him into letting her go then she would do it. Her skin crawled as he inspected the wounds he had created, wounds he had obviously seen to healing while she was out. Nothing made sense in this.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Vlad Drake

He shrugged

"Your loss, the cook is quite proficient"

He opened the door and the three women entered

"Prepare her for the day, if she gives you any trouble kill her"

The women started to unstrap her, the glint of sharpened blades a constant reminder of Vlad's orders. Soon she was led down into a basement and tied into a new chair. Vlad soon entered and walked to the opposite wall, pulling a lever the wall slowly slid open, revealing Llewelyn Grant tied up in a chair, he was naked and there was no marks on him. A gag prevented him from talking and Vlad walked over to him, the mallet in his hands, pulling back he swung with vicious force, the head thudding loudly against Llewelyn's flesh.

"Right today we do it this way, you ask a question, if not he gets punished, if you do you receive punishment"

He fixed her with a gaze of pure anger

"And if you wish not to talk I will make you scream"

 

[Ravvyn]

Her eyes widened in shock that he had her old professor tied in the basement, how he had captured him was surprising but how could he keep getting away with this. There was no way he wouldn't be caught. After the first swing of the mallet she looked away before hearing the impact recalling how it felt when that mallet was used on her. She debated her options, the decision of him or herself laid before her was not enviable in any way but silence promised to be as frightening and as painful.

"How do..." She started off, looking at Grant before turning her eyes back to Vlad. A sadistic smirk of her own came to the forefront of her expressions.

"How do they get the caramel in a Caramilk bar?" She kept a strong look but inside she was trembling, knowing what was about to come.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Vlad Drake

He stalked over to her, giving her a blood thirsty grin

"I don't make Caramilk bars, but judging from the bars I have seen, you pour the top, fill the holes with Caramilk, then you pour the base over it. I may be wrong, but that is how I'd do it"

With a flick of his wrist the mallet crashed back onto the bruise on her shin, the pain doubled as the flesh by now had time to regain it's sensitivity. He leaned closer, smiling a sick smile

"Go on playing, you are the one making this hard on you. If you co-operated yesterday, you would have been free by now. So co-operate now and by tonight you can be free"

 

[Ravvyn]

Her scream was a couple octaves higher than she ever knew she could reach. Her breath was taken away with the yell, leaving her gasping for breath as she tried to mentally limit the pain. After she recovered enough she looked up at his sick smile, one coming to her own face despite the pain she was in.

"But you're having so much fun. I wouldn't want to ruin it for you. Admit it, I'm turning you on." Maybe she was delirious, maybe it was because she didn't believe him that he would let her free but she momentarily had enough gumption to risk pain to speak her mind. She laughed briefly, one that might make one wonder as to her mental well-being. She was beginning to wonder if she might have been going crazy. Even if he let her go would she ever be normal again? The trauma she'd already sustained may permanently affect her.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Vlad Drake

He leaned closer, his cheek next to hers,

"Actually...yes you do, but my fun is not with you. Soon you will have to watch how I do enjoy myself, my patience with you is growing VERY short."

He leaned back, looking into her eyes, he could see the little spark of insanity along with the pain in there and he grinned, maybe he had woken up a monster inside of her,

"Your next question. Try to stay with your article this time, your professor is watching."
