"Smith!?"
"Captain!?"
To the surprise of both, the senior officers of the Leech pirates were in the same room, very close to each other and apparently both were also in the same situation, something they wanted to make sure of as soon as possible.
However, Fred didn't give them time to interact. His falsely cheerful voice cut off their conversation completely before it could begin "Oh excellent...
You also woke up earlier than expected, great...
If it had taken a little longer I would have injected you with the antidote, but I'm glad I didn't have to waste it...
Now we can finally start having fun."
And as Fred finished that sentence, he pulled a lever...
CLANK!
Which would start the horror...
PLOM! PLOM!
The two tables where John and Smith were paralyzed, bound and stretched out were raised, turning 90 degrees upwards one in front of the other, thus finally moving their field of vision away from the ceiling of the room and allowing the two pirates to look at each other…
The only dirty drop of happiness spilling out of that vast, turbulent sea of misery John had plunged into a few seconds ago
CLANK! CLANK!
However, when he finally had his precious subordinate in front of his eyes, he felt his breath catch...
"..."
In front of him, at the same height as his eyes he saw the ugly face of his first officer, somewhat hurt by the events that took place on the fateful day of his defeat, something normal in their situation... but when his eyes lowered a little he saw something totally alien in his most trusted man
His strong and muscular arms had disappeared from his shoulder, as well as his legs that completely disappeared from the beginning of the hip...
The only thing left of his best human asset was his head and torso!
And the trunk...
Below his neck there wasn't an inch of skin on what was left of Smith's body…
Everything! Completely! Except for his limp penis, everything was raw! With the naked eye it was possible to see their muscles, some of their bones and even some of their organs perform their functions!
A gruesome image that terrified and even made an emotionless psychopath like John empathize
"SMITH! YOU... YOU..." Yelled John, whose face was only capable of expressing terror, pain, impotence and despair at seeing the inhuman state in which they had left the only living being that he could come to consider a friend
The same expression that was able to be seen on Smith's face, who, even more terrified and hurt cried out through tears "Fu... FUUUUUCK!
CAPTAAAAIIIIN!"
And not even three seconds passed until both realized something chilling...
"NO! NO! NO! NO..."
Both realized that they were looking at the other's body with the same agony... a body they couldn't see for themselves and that due to Fred's drugs they were unable to feel
"NO! NO! NO! NO!
NOOOOOOOOOO!!"
Both screamed synchronously between tears, with a desperation that they would never have thought possible to feel after realizing that... Everything was all over for them even if they miraculously managed to escape from the clutches of the demon that did this to them...
A little devil with a scary face who enjoyed his suffering like he never imagined
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yes...
This is the expression I was looking for!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
It's like looking in a macabre mirror right?
MUA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
His nasty, proud laugh that mocked them, celebrating the tragic, heart-breaking, gruesome show he had orchestrated... an inhuman laugh that mutated into something worse the more fear and desperation they manifested… a hellish laugh that erased the little courage, pride, dignity and hope Smith and John still had
"WHY!? WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS!?" Shouted Smith crying like a baby, a baby who had killed and ruined the lives of hundreds of innocent people, but that now, after suffering a fate worse than the one he ever condemned someone, he believed he had the right to ask for explanations from one of his victims
Explanations that Fred didn't understand, since it wouldn't even cross his mind that either of them could criticize him for what he was doing, for this reason he gave them another interpretation, answering Smith with extreme coldness and sobriety "Are you asking me I didn't wait until you were awake to make you feel the pain and terror of the amputations?
It's pretty obvious...
I didn't know if my [Sleeping Beauty Mark 10] or my other poisons would stop working on you sooner than expected, so for safety reasons one of the first things I did in your not-so-secret base was amputate your arms and legs...
Once in the village with a little more calm and patience I reviewed anatomy books to cut with surgical precision all the muscles that allow the movement of your neck and torso… and to facilitate removal I skinned you to make your torso match the one in the book I read.
This way I can be 100% sure that you aren't a threat to anyone anymore.
Why? Don't you like it?
I thought you loved amputating people's limbs and making them suffer...
Apart from parasitic scum, are you also hypocrites?"
An answer that completely chilled John and Smith. His brain went completely blank, without any kind of sensitivity just like the rest of his body...
They didn't know what to think, they didn't know what to feel, they didn't know what to say and they didn't want to remain conscious...
"..."
"..."
Both were lost due to the great shock they suffered, so much so that not even the footsteps of someone coming through the door were able to get them out of that trance in which they were trying to disconnect from this world.
"Everything okay Fred?" "Everything okay Fred?" Asked Stephen, who, alerted by the screams, went down to the basement of Fred's house, finding exactly what he expected…
"Yes, everything is perfect...
Has something happened to your father and mother?" Fred asked, not expecting Stephen to show up while he was doing this messy but necessary job, so he thought some complication had arisen with his highest-priority patients.
"No, they're asleep, just like before...
...
Do you mind if I stay here?" Stephen said with some discomfort, pointing with his casted arm one of the chairs in the room.
"I don't care, but...
Are you sure you want to stay?
If you vomit again I won't pick it up..." Fred answered, knowing that Stephen, at least for now, couldn't bear to see this kind of thing. Remembering him not only vomited during the execution of the Scums, also during the flaying of John and Smith
"Don't worry...
I left a metal basin here just in case" Stephen said as he showed the object that he left a few hours ago under the chair that he had just chosen, showing that he had foreseen that something like this could happen again
And after checking that Stephen had sat in the correct position to avoid hurting his ribs, , that he had the basin ready just in case and that the two dolls without limbs were still lost in their little world...
Fred resumed his work by injecting his guests with something directly into his armless neck "Ok...
What was I saying?
Oh yeah...
Surely you're wondering how it's possible that you don't feel any pain when you're in this state...
It's solely due to my incredible homemade anesthesia, for which I also have an antidote…"
A substance that brought them completely out of that pseudo vegetative state, making them suddenly feel all the pain that their mutilated and skinned body had been ignoring until now, making them scream like they've never screamed before
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
FUUUUUCCKKKKKKK!!!"
"KIAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! UOHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
MOTHERFUCKER! YOU'RE A SON OF A BITCH!"
Gratifying cries of pain that Fred completely ignored, instead he headed towards the table where he was earlier doing something out of John the Leech's field of vision.
"Aaaahhhj...
Luckily I had been making lemonade while we talked" Fred said, picking up a huge pitcher of homemade lemonade, which he poured into a glass and moved closer to his victims for them to watch him take a sip "MMMMM!!
Acid, sweet and refreshing!
Do you want some?"
And with that kind question the cries of pain from Smith and John ceased.
"..."
"..."
But not out of confusion at the sight of such an unusual display of kindness or out of a great desire to soothe his dry and sore throat with something delicious... but due to the terrifying and painful premonition they had upon hearing those words that completely clouded the pain they were feeling right now
"I take that to be a yes, but… maybe it's too sweet for you
After all, I have the palate of a child, while you're adults...
Should I add salt?
Yessss... a lot of salt..." Fred said as he dumped the entire contents of a huge salt shaker he had prepared beforehand into the pitcher filled with lemonade until the lemonade/salt ratio was almost even.
And then he looked at Smith
"No... NO...
¡NO! ¡NO! ¡NO!" Smith screamed in utter terror as he instinctively tried to run away from the terrifying and imminent fate that awaited him, even though he couldn't run anywhere.
"Come on, open your mouth, you haven't had anything to drink for many hours, you must be thirsty..." Said Fred with a very friendly voice that didn't match his cruel smile as he poured the salty lemonade over Smith's skinless torso.
"AHH!
AAAAHH!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
UGH! UGH! UGH!
FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!
UGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
KIAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
The pain Smith felt was intense, agonizing, and unending, as if his body were slowly dissolving in a tank of short-acting acid.
However, that was only the beginning...
"Oops...
How clumsy I am, I dropped it...
Wait a second, I'll clean it up... " Said Fred with a falsehood and sarcasm so evident that even offended... while he took a metal pad from his pocket
"NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
MOTHERFUCKER!
UGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
FUCKING PSYCHOPATH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
KIAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Shouted, insulted and cried Smith while Fred mercilessly scraped the irritated flesh of his flayed torso with each movement.
"Don't yell so much, man, the whole village will hear you..." Fred said with a smile as he slapped with his wide-open hand the area he had just exfoliated
PLAAAASSSSSSHHHHHHH!!
"UGHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
..."
Causing a pain so agonizing, intense and sharp that short-circuited the brain of an infamous pirate for whom the Marine offered 30 million, making him to pass out.
"Oops, he fainted... now I won't be able to start with him as I had planned...
Luckily you're still awake "Fred said with his usual demonic smile as he turned his neck practically 90 degrees towards John as if he was possessed by an evil entity
Something that further increased the fear that John felt towards Fred, who began to piss in fear when he saw how that evil little monster slowly approached him while dipping a knife in the salty lemonade
"No… please...
Don't do it..."
"Oh, come on...
You haven't been even tortured for five minutes and you're already begging me?
Do your part a little bit man, or this will get boring" Fred said with great satisfaction as he injected something into John's neck
"What have you injected me?!" John asked, terrified of anything Fred would do to them, but even more terrified of anything totally unknown that he might inject into him.
"This? He's one of my super aphrodisiacs...
Not my favourite, but he's the one with the most immediate effect." Fred replied with partial pride as he watched as John's flaccid and shrunken penis began to move despite the fact that due to extreme fear the blood in his body almost seemed to have frozen
And while the aphrodisiac began to take effect, he continued with his disturbing monologue "You know… I've never tested these aphrodisiacs on humans, though I suspect some old couples in the village…whom you've killed or nearly killed… didn't just buy them from me to use on the bulls and other farm animals
It's an open secret among the neighbors, you know...
HAHAHAHA!
Seriously... I liked those people...
I LIKED THEM A LOT!!!"
PLAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!
"UGHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
KIAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
UGH! UGH! UGH!"
Fred, due to that calculated outburst of anger, slapped John's raw torso just like he did with his bribe, causing him incredible pain, but he didn't faint from it, although he would have wanted to.
"Summarizing...
I don't need you to test its efficacy on humans, especially since no one here would want to be the one receiving
But you know…I've always wondered…" Fred said with an increasingly sadistic tone as he scratched John's hard gland with his knife, as if it were his worst enemy's car.
"AAAAHHHHH!!!!
AAAAAHHH!!!!
UGH! UGH! UGH!
FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!
UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!" John screamed in pain as he felt his great little friend being tortured, but the pain wasn't the main cause of his screams, but what he believed preceded this torture.
"What would happen to the effects of the aphrodisiac if suddenly... this little thing that you like to use to rape disappear?" Fred whispered mischievously into John's ear as he placed his knife at the base of John's erect penis.
"NO! NO! NO!
NOOOOOOOOO!
PLEASE NOOOOOOO!" John screamed and pleaded tearfully, trying as hard as he could to make his one-eyed monster limp to make it harder for Fred
However, those poor futile attempts only fed Fred's inner sadistic monster "Ohhhhh...yeeees...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
John was attempting an impossible task, Fred would never forgive him, and the aphrodisiac wouldn't stop taking effect until within an hour… Plenty of time to slice up the last thing that could be considered a limb on John's body...
"Fred..."
However, that moment of unparalleled sadism was interrupted by the trembling and timid voice of Stephen... who, with his eyes fixed on the ground, covered in cold sweat and barely breathing, called the attention of his best friend, whom he has known since the day he was born
But that now he din't dare to look into the eyes...
Third part in few days
