Chapitre 4: Puppet
Azra was never quite the same since that day and the moment that she had woke up, she became like another person.
It was not that she had actually became another person but it was more like her sense of self had disappeared and she had become dull.
It was like she could not think clearly and was in her own world but she could do the most basic things that the people around her had told her to do ranging from eating, sleeping, washing and other simple tasks.
Azra became like a puppet that did not talk back and was in a strange state of mind that was similar to being in a daze.
Her brain was not functioning properly and it had been reported back to the family that she had become that way after one electro shock treatment.
It was the type of treatment used to rehabilitate patients but there were some areas of the brain that could be targeted to allow different effects like making people more docile or obedient.
The doctor did not expect his experiment to be successful so he was pleased with the result but he was upset to find out that the family did not give up on their desires to let Azra suffer more.
It was upsetting for him but he decided that he would have to continue the experiments further since he was receiving the money and he could try out other things to test the limitations of Azra.
The screams of Azra slowly became less and less as the pain seemed to no longer be as effective as before.
She was so obedient within the mental institution that her restraints had been let off and they no longer had to give her sedatives.
Azra would no longer be in a state of mind to resist or to kill herself so those things were no longer needed.
The mental institution was not a highly qualified place where there was an excellent reputation and results known about it.
It was a place where the workers and doctors there were shady characters with loose morales and twisted characters.
If they could cut back on some expenses then they would do so.
It would not have been strange if the doctors or director of the mental institution had been siphoning off some of the funds or stealing some of the supplies.
There were already many of them that had formed their own groups that were together for the sake of their twisted enjoyment or for profit and had been working with different clients that were paying high prices to allow them to do a lot of harm to people that were put there.
Since some things and restrictions were no longer required for to keep Azra from resisting or causing a fuss, they could put them to use on other patients or could use them in other ways.
The guards had started to slack on their duties and the doctors around Azra had begun to drop their guard around her.
She no longer needed to be forced into the chair and had accepted her fate quietly.
The scene of her being electrocuted had been shown on a television as a family watched her suffering from the comfort of their home.
The mother seemed a little uncomfortable but the father coldly watched it then turned to his daughter. "We have done enough already. I am sure that you will no longer be satisfied with this so it is best to make preparations to discard it."
The daughter grit her teeth as she eyes focussed on the lack of response that Azra went through under the electrocution. "Hmm.. I have seen enough father."
The father nodded and said coldly. "I will call them to finish the job and to clean everything up neatly."
They could not just leave Azra alive and sitting within the mental institution then forget about her existence when what they had been involved in would leave traces and evidence behind.
The mental institution was discreet so long as money was provided but there was always a risk of exposure the longer that she remained alive.
If there was the slightest chance of her being discovered or her recovering then what had happened to Azra could find its way out into the world.
There would be those that were on the side of justice or that were against their family that would want to get to the truth from Azra's mouth or to pass on the images of her living conditions and her bodies state.
What they had been involved in could damage their families image greatly and would affect their standing with other families they were close to who valued the public opinion over their ties with the family.
It may not have been a problem for those families to know that other families took part in such acts when each of them had skeletons in their own closets but having them exposed was never a good thing.
If they were prepared to go as far as to inflict such harm onto Azra for the sake of revenge then they would be prepared for when everything came to its end.
The father looked towards his daughter and said. "I will handle the destruction of the videos and any other information. During this time, I want you all to be on your best behaviour. If you have any copies then give them over now before I have to check through everything."
The daughter bowed her head and her eyes were full of regret. 'So I cannot even keep some mementos.' "Yes father."
Her eyes went back towards the television where there was the image of the body of Azra that was occasionally twitching in her seat until it came to an end but no sound came out of her. 'So this is how it ends… how disappointing. At least now she is where she is supposed to be and is no longer showing that look. I am still not too satisfied with this form of revenge when my time lost has been taken into account.'
Her eyes lit up all of a sudden. "Father! How about we do it this way? Let there be one final video of her end! One final big show!"
The father looked towards his daughter and sighed helplessly. "Fine but this will be the end of this. I want you to do as I ask of you in the future and you need to catch back up on your studies. You need to make up for your lost time and have a duty to bring glory to our family."
The daughter nodded her head. "Yes father! So it will be like this.. hehehe."
Her mother at the side had looked towards her daughter like she was looking at a monster but had turned away quickly and hid her true thoughts that would be displayed on her face. 'All of this has gone too far..
I knew that he was an extreme person that holds grudges but I did not think that my daughter would be the same. I thought that she was a good girl.. a family ruined and a girl put through so much over a small childish reason.
If only I had noticed sooner and had been able to correct her in time then this would never have reached this point. That poor girl put up with everything until that moment and it was clear that she did not mean to cause harm but now we have already reached this point..'
The mother had tried to talk to her husband but the father and daughter were too alike so his daughter's grudge had been taken up by him until she woke up and they both enjoyed the videos together.
Her lovely family seemed to have changed drastically in a short time or it was that she had failed to notice how her family really was.
Once it was exposed to her, she did not know how to deal with it and just sat there quietly while the father and daughter bonded over the suffering of Azra.
The mother had come to know that Azra would have been let off if she had been represented properly in court and that Asra was actually very remorseful over what she had done so the mother had already forgiven Azra for what had happened and was regretful over being unable to interfere with her husbands actions.
She took one final look towards her family that seemed so strange to her and quietly got up from her seat before heading to her room.
The father and daughter continued their talk and were busy plotting so they did not notice her disappearance until a little later.
