48.14% The Boys: Reborn as Soldier Boy / Chapter 11: A shared point of view

章 11: A shared point of view

With righteous anger in his eyes, Jamie floated past me like a miniature version of Dracula on an unholy mission. Except, unlike the mythical monster in ancient lore, this bloodthirsty creature doesn't care for or need an invite.

'I almost pity those fools.'

Not wanting to prioritise my own vengeance, I chose to postpone my entrance and give the small guy some alone time to vent during this "family reunion". However, don't think for a moment that I would miss this confrontation for even the best pussy in Hollywood.

Well, it also depends on the pussy. Some of the actors from my old world are in this one, which could be fun for both my lives. I know Maggie Smith was a delight in the 60s, and from my Ambroise memories, she has aged like fine wine.

'Wait, what? What the fuck is wrong with me? Why am I thirsting over a granny, and why isn't it disgusting to me the more I think of it? '

Shaking my head to rid myself of my slightly disturbing thoughts, I concentrated on the plan I had concocted. Without considering the possible intrusion, I accessed the bond between Jamie and me and made him aware of my idea.

I could see the moment he received my mental command, as it comically stopped him in his warpath just before he entered the scientist's abode.

After a moment of confusion and contemplation on his end, I received a mental nod of agreement and decided to begin. Tentatively and with a complete lack of trust in the origin of its creation, I focused on the connection we shared. I then proceeded to do something every porn-obsessed nerd wished they could do; I attempted to see from his point of view.

With no warning, I felt my vision go dark and momentarily got scared that I had fucked up and permanently blinded myself. And then it happened; before the panic could even set in, I could see again, and I wasn't looking at Jamie. No, I was looking at a fucking stud, me.

The admiration of my body quickly disappeared when I noticed my fucking golden eyes. They were near replicas of the ones I had seen earlier on Jamie and Dawn. The only difference was that mine glowed so intensely that it almost hurt to look into them.

'What the fuck is wrong with my eyes?'

I decided to ignore it for now and see if the rest of my body had any abnormalities. Fortunately, everything else seemed to be in perfect condition.

'Damn, I look good.´

~ Indeed, Sir, ~ Jamie surprisingly interrupted whilst chuckling at my narcissism.

'What the fuck, how can you hear my thoughts?'

~ My apologies, Master Ben. I did not realise that you had no intentions of sharing your thoughts with me, ~ Jamie said apologetically, ~ I do hope you may forgive me for intruding on your private pondering, Sir. ~

'Don't worry about it, Jamie. I was just surprised. Entering your mind probably removed all the protective barriers I had in place. It should take me only a moment to fix the issue. Otherwise, after today you will be the one owed an apology. Trust me; my mind can be a filthy fucking place. I don't wish even my worst enemies the pleasure of bathing in its waters.'

~ Again, my sincerest apologies for the intrusion, Sir, ~ Jamie once again apologised before adopting a serious tone, ~ I am not one to question your judgment, Master Ben. But is it wise to put your body in danger whilst your mind is with me? I would be thrilled to have you physically beside me as we enact our vengeance. ~

'You more than earned first bite, and I can't promise that if I came along, I wouldn't jump the gun and obliterate the fucker.'

~ I am more than willin..~ Jamie began to plead before I coldly interrupted him.

'Enough, Jamie. Do not test my patience. Go and have fun; those fuckers have been enjoying their stress-free lives for too long.'

~ Understood, Sir,~ Jamie responded reverently, ~ I shall endeavour to make this a very entertaining experience. ~

'I don't doubt it.'

~ How could I have dared to question his eminence? ~ Jamie whispered, accidentally having shared his inner thought.

Whilst slightly confused at his use of such a title, I ignored his words and decided to remove one of his fears in return for my previous outburst.

'I appreciate the concern, Jamie. However, don't worry about my body. It is still under my control, and I wouldn't leave Dawn unprotected.'

To cement my point, my body flipped, landed on one hand's pinky and flipped once more to return to its exact position, all whilst the other hand securely held Dawn.

With my safety assured via an odd display of acrobatic talent, Jamie moved his eyes away from my lovely figure and crossed the threshold of the cottage's now-demolished front door. He turned to give me one last look of concern before entering deeper into the belly of the beast.

During this, I quickly formed some rudimentary barriers that should stop all my thoughts from flooding out and then, with a figurative bowl of popcorn, I sat back to enjoy the show.

'This should be fun.'

Jamie's POV

As I entered what had once been my personal hell, I was surprised at the lack of changes towards the home's interior. Whilst aged, it was as if I had only left yesterday. However, despite the unsettling memories that arose, I was, unsurprisingly, no longer nervous. With Master Ben's divine spirit protecting me in this confrontation with my former family, I have nothing to fear.

'He is so selfless to have pushed aside his own wrath for my mortal desires.'

The truth behind my reverence towards Master Ben can not be conceptualised as simple servitude towards a good man. However, it is something to contemplate further on another day. For now, I have some demons to cleanse.

"Jamie, is that you?" A man's voice stuttered, interrupting my internal thoughts as I floated into the living room.

Turning towards the voice, I was reunited with my adoptive father, Victor Novikov. Whilst almost sixty, his face had barely changed and had only grown seemingly wiser with wrinkles around the eyes and salt and peppered hair that reminded me of snow on a moonlit night. Most strikingly, his signature laugh lines had become even more pronounced over time. They were so large you would be hard-pressed to find such a visage on a creature born in nature.

'It seems life has blessed him with happiness. It would be a shame to deny death the opportunity to bestow its own blessing.'

Filled with determination, I began to respond. When suddenly, my confidence and voice were ripped away from me by the menacing tunes of the devil.

"Daddy? I thought Jamie had died. Does this mean I get to play with him again? I've missed our play time so much, Daddy," a voice that had inhabited my nightmares for years questioned in excitement.

With trepidation, I looked towards the winding staircase at the back of the living room, and I saw what to others would be a cute 13-year-old child standing at the top of the stairs. Her features were stunning, almost doll-like. She had eyes so bright and innocent that provoked a desire to protect and hair so beautiful and silky that it seemed almost perfect for forming one's nest.

However, for me, all I saw was evil incarnate. Those eyes hid intentions so sickening that even the most moral man would strike her down. Even her hair was an illusion of beauty that would sooner choke you than house you.

"Anastasia!! Leave through the backdoor now!!" Father screamed in a trembling voice.

"No!!! You took him last time, and I want to play!!" My nemesis yelled in response.

She continued to scream and shout about how unfair it was. However, all I could focus on were the memories of my torture. They began to overwhelm me and almost caused me to break.

~ It's ok. She can't hurt you now. Focus on the father and then take your time with the monster, ~ Master Ben suddenly said, both comfort and command emanating from his voice.

'With Master Ben, I have nothing to fear.'

Pushing my weakness aside, I ignored the babbling words of my adoptive sister and once again turned towards my father.

~ Well, hello, father, do me a favour and tell that devolved mutt to shut up ~

"H-H-How are y-y-you talking in m-m-my head?" Father's voice stuttered, interrupting the girl's temper tantrum."Y-Y-You don't h-h-have t-t-that ability-y-y?"

~ Now, why would I tell a heretic like you about the path to redemption, be a good boy and do as I say, ~ I replied impatiently.

"L-L-Listen Jamie, we can f-f-figure something out. Yours w-w-was a sacrifice required f-f-for the greater g-g-good, p-p-please understand," Father stuttered even worse in fear, "Y-Y-You should thank-k-k me, y-y-you have l-l-lived way beyond the l-l-life expectancy o-o-of your species, you have powers and have g-g-gained sentience. All because o-o-of me."

~ Thank you? The only person I have to thank is Master Ben. He delivered me from evil and brought me away from pain and towards freedom. He brought me you, ~ I replied with a bloodthirsty smile.

"Daddy, it's just stupid, Jamie. Why are you scared?" Ana squeaked obnoxiously, "Come here, Jamie. Time to play with Pixie and me."

'Don't worry. We will play soon enough.'

"Shut up, Anna!!" Father screamed before dropping before me, "Please leave h-h-her out of t-t-this. She's j-j-just a child."

~ Forget what I said. This is why I hate teenagers. Shut her up, please. She's become a complete fucking nuisance, ~ Master Ben once again interrupted, both annoyance and command emanating from his voice.

~ I do concur, Master Ben, ~ I replied before closing my eyes to harness my new psychic abilities.

Whilst I was still a novice in what I could achieve. Against baseline humans, there was nothing they could do, and with a twist of my right paw, I accessed the mind of Anastasia. Immediately I almost vomited at the images that assailed me as I dived into the cesspool that was her thoughts. Gritting my teeth to focus on my goal, I found exactly what I needed, her brain's motor pathways.

Having achieved control over my torture tool of choice. Silence fell upon the home. The ever-present yapping had stopped, and I opened my eyes to witness the paralysed form of Anna at my mercy.

'Well, isn't this a lovely change of events?'

With another flick of my paw, I made her body move down the stairs. However, this was just the appetiser, and with my precise control, I was careful to ensure that no harm befell the monster on my leash.

'I can not have her leaving without the main course and desert. It would simply be rude.'

Once she had reached the bottom step, I forced her to walk and sit beside Father. I watched with delight as her eyes bulged in fear due to her body no longer listening to her commands.

Father, on the other hand, looked at her in confusion and dread. He seemed to have realised that there was no way out.

~ Hello, little Anna, you wanted to play? So let's play, ~ I whispered into her mind and began to laugh as even more fear appeared in her eyes.

Authors note

So here is the chapter for the week. I will publish another one in a few hours as it's almost finished. I feel like I've spent too much time writing about them in Russia, and I will try and get them to leave in the following 2-3 chapters.

I hope you enjoyed it, and I look forward to hearing your feedback.

Fun fact: The amount of blood the show used for each episode was staggeringly high. Laz Alonso, the actor who plays Mother’s Milk in the series, says that the entire process where the blood is applied to their bodies took at least two hours. And the blood would remain on their bodies for weeks.

章 12: Chewy delight

DESCRIPTIVE VIOLENCE WARNING!!

One-time warning. Hi all, I just wanted to make you once again aware that this fanfic will have some gruesome scenes regarding graphic violence the further we go along in the story. I actually spent an extra two days toning down the violence in this chapter, as a friend of mine said I had gone way too descriptive, and it made him feel physically ill. After my changes, it shouldn't be too bad now. However, I will still warn anyone who may be squeamish. This will be my final and only warning towards graphic violence in the book, so no complaints Lol.

——————————————————————————

Jamie's POV continued

I watched whilst amused, as the realisation of her predicament set in and despair replaced the fear. For the first time, I was overwhelmed with a euphoric sense of achievement. All she could do was scream inside that head of hers, and it was precisely the cathartic melody I had desired to witness for years.

Taking a moment to breathe in the silence that encased the home, I smiled in delight and relished every second of mental trauma I could inflict upon my captured torturer. Sometimes the fear of what is to come is worse than the act itself. However, with what I have planned, it will only get sweeter.

'She should know. After all, she is the one who taught me.'

Looking at the pair of psychopaths before me, my smile grew wider. I decided it was time to move on to the event's main course.

~ Have you learned your lesson on when to speak, sister? ~ I suddenly questioned Ana's frozen and frightened figure. ~ If so, I will remove part of my psychic binding as I have no desire to converse with you in that filth you call a mind. ~

I peered into her pale blue eyes to see her response and smiled in a feral manner when I noticed her resignation. Thus, having confirmed that the mutt would be docile, I clapped my paws together and commanded her face to be once again under her control.

Unfortunately, it seems the little shit has the impression I can be reasoned with, as her subsequent attempt to sway me made me instantly regret my removing her psychic muzzle.

"Jamie, why are you doing this? I'm sorry for hurting you in the past, I just wanted to play, and I didn't know what I was doing. I was so young, please forgive me and come home. I've missed you so much and cried for days when I thought you died," She whispered with watering eyes and an innocent look on her face, "Please don't hurt us."

A dramatic pause accompanied her words before she broke down into a sobbing mess.

It was convincing, even to me, and I know what a monster she truly is. Tired of the charade, I flicked my paw to refreeze her face.

~ Apologies, I heard a mongrel yapping and thus was not paying attention. Do you have anything to say? No final words before we begin? ~ I questioned Ana cheekily, revelling in her inability to respond. ~ I am taking notes and suggestions, so feel free to speak. ~

I waited in an exaggerated pose with one paw cupping an ear in her direction. After only a few seconds of blissful silence, I shrugged my small shoulders.

~ Happy to know you are satisfied with the service provided, ~ I stated smugly before flying towards her paralysed form.

Once I reached her side, I circled the petite creature that had tormented me for years and began to chitter in laughter.

~ Looking at you now, I don't know how I ever feared you,~ I said in a relaxed tone as I approached her face and looked into her still watering eyes.

~ You don't fool me, Ana, ~ I menacingly whispered into her mind, ~ This innocent little act may work on others, but I've seen your true colours.~

Slowly and with purpose, I extended one of my claws and lightly dragged it down the side of her face. Her eyes were petrified and trembling throughout the process, causing a seed of doubt to sprout within my mind.

She would never have shown fear in the past. Has she truly changed? Am I acting as judge, jury and executioner towards a child that may not have understood the horrors she inflicted?

I looked at her in contemplation and hesitation before closing my eyes, breathing deeply and coldly opening them once more.

'No!! No monster like her could ever be redeemed. She has made her bed, and it is time for me to make her coffin.'

~ Your time has come. Accept it, ~ I said as I stared with purpose into her eyes, ~ Don't worry, this will be very familiar. I will start with your favourite. ~

I placed my claws under her left eye just as she had done towards me many years ago with a spoon. Throwing aside my hesitation, I began to pierce into the skin with determination when I was suddenly halted in my path.

"Stop this, Jamie," Father interrupted, the stutter having disappeared and been replaced with a confident and clear voice. "An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind. Don't you think you have terrorised us enough? She has changed and no longer harms creatures. What do you want? Money? Freedom? Tell me, and I'll give it to you."

'He thinks he can buy my inaction? Does he see this as a trivial pursuit?'

I turned away from Ana and faced the man who had enabled the monster beside me and then used me himself once I showed I could survive.

~ An eye for an eye making the whole world blind is a beautiful sentiment for the weak who do not have the strength to take back what is theirs by right, ~ I boomed into his mind, my anger rising; what I had done to them so far could not equate to even a minute of the pain I had experienced. ~ An eye taken is simply an eye stolen, and I see nothing but justice here, Father. Do you want to know what I want? I want your heads on a platter and in my gullet before the sun rises. ~

As I spoke, I flew towards his prone figure and hovered above him.

"She is only a child; you deluded monster!! You are just a fucking hamster!!" Father yelled in anger whilst standing to reduce the distance between us, "I kill thousands of hamsters a year during research!! I saved your life, you ungrateful bastard!!"

This was not the interaction I had imagined, and the more he spoke, the angrier I grew. How dare he? I am not the villain here. They were the ones who used me for their sick perversions.

'Worst of all, he tortured Master Ben, and that is unforgivable.'

~ Why don't you experience what your precious daughter did, and then you can call me deluded, ~ I stated icily whilst smiling, ~ You shouldn't have come so close. ~

I took a moment to enjoy the confusion on his face before I rapidly launched forwards and gouged out his left eye using my claws.

I watched with great pleasure whilst holding onto the eye as blood began to pour from the hole and stream into his wailing mouth.

Quickly devouring the chewy delight, I licked my paws and stared at the remaining right eye.

'Delicious, however, I shan't be greedy. I shall leave his other eye alone for Master Ben to snack upon.'

"Ahhh!! You fucking rodent, I should've euthanised you like I did all your siblings," Father screamed in pain and anger.

'He did what!'

Hearing those words, my hold on my anger broke, and with a vision blinded by rage, I unleashed all my pent-up frustration upon the man before me.

I took my time slashing and biting in areas that would make his death both slow and painful. After what could have been minutes or hours, I awoke from my fury and looked down upon the whimpering form of my Father.

He was unrecognisable, his face and body riddled with lacerations, his hair ripped from his scalp, his ears both chewed beyond redemption, his hands missing multiple digits, and his nose entirely non-existent.

~ This is your true form, Victor, ~ I whispered into his mind, ~ The sins of the soul are now visible upon your flesh, and soon your daughter shall follow. ~

~ Very cool line there, bud. However, next time, warn me when you eat someone, ~ Master Ben said in a sickly tone, ~ I didn't expect to share all five fucking senses. ~

~ My apologies, Master Ben, ~ I hastily responded, ~ If you wish to berate or punish me, I understand. Will you be joining me now, Sir? I left you the good eye. ~

~ No Fucking way!! Never give me eyes, do you understand? ~ Master Ben quickly responded before sounds of gagging oddly appeared. ~ Let's end the mind transfer, and I'll join you in dealing with Victor and looting the place. ~

'That is so considerate of Master Ben to give me the eyes of our foes. However, I will not be a selfish servant. I know he must love eyes as well. They are so tasty.'

~ Understood, Sir, ~ I responded knowingly.

End of Jamie's POV

.

.

.

My vision snapped back to my body, and I breathed in a huge gulp of air as if I had been sucker punched. A sudden rush of nausea from the experience made me rapidly sprint towards the bushes by the broken entrance and vomit all the bile I had in my stomach.

After resting on the floor for a few minutes to allow the nausea to settle, I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and smeared some mint I found beside the bush on my tongue to get rid of the taste of the bile and human flesh.

'Fucking hell, that took an unexpected turn.'

Clearing my mind off the first meal I had in years, I cracked my back and hands with a satisfying stretch.

Once I felt partially refreshed, I casually strolled into the building and followed the same path the little hamster had taken.

As I headed down the hallway towards the living room, I stopped to admire the rich brown wooden flooring.

'I'll need to go through my properties when I return to America. I like this wood; carpet is hell to keep clean but was the fucking standard in the 80s and is in most of my homes.'

Seeing a rack of coats by the door, I stopped my idle thoughts and wrapped one around my waist and another over Dawn.

'No need to bless the fuckers with my body.'

Turning the corner, I witnessed the sight Jamie had already shared with me whilst I was a mental hitchhiker, and what a sight it was.

From his POV, I knew it would be brutal. However, looking at the situation before me, even I was slightly taken aback. Jamie was floating in the air like a spirit of vengeance. His tiny but formidable form, caked in blood, looked down upon a prostrating body that could barely be described as human anymore.

'The fucker even shat and pissed himself, have some decency when getting tortured.'

It took me a moment, but even disfigured and soiled, I easily recognised him through all the blood as Victor, one of the more enthusiastic of the monstrous bastards that tortured me. Looking at him now, It was hard to coincide that monster with this pathetic creature crying and shaking on the floor.

'What a fucking pussy.'

——————————————————————————

Authors note

So here's the additional chapter that I promised. I hope you all read the warning beforehand and are prepared for the violence to come in the book. I am, as always, open to any criticism or suggestions, and I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
