Tales of the Wasteland

Tyler Part 5

Hayden that bastard. I knew something was up when i couldn't find any drugs earlier today. Dex, Hayden and Missy are working together. Why didn't I think of it? Of course the Missonary's are who took Sabina. Why didn't i remember? Oh god why didn't i see it? I could have prevented this. Honey, my baby sister hangs on a hook by her bounded hands with a her blood wound gaped open, dark blood painted her cherry red hair. Miles is tied up against a pole on the other side of the room and Sabina is on a chair near the back and I sit directly across from Miles also tied to a pole. I just can't believes how stupid i have been, how careless. Now I'm going to die, Sabina is going to die and i have no clue what will happen to Honey and Miles. Dex has tried to talk to Sabina but she starts crying about how Honey and Miles slept together while she was being tortured.
"Sabina! Get a grip for the love of god!" Honey demands hanging in the middle of the room.
"How can i do that when you and Miles were having a lovely time while i was being cut open by those monsters!" Sabina's eyes are flowing waterfalls and she looks like a mess.

"Sabina, it was wrong but keep in mind that we had no trace of you. We were unconscious until the next morning. What ever track you guys would have made it would have been gone. Not to mention that they took almost everything!" Honey yells moving on the hook now slightly swinging. Honey is right. We wouldn't have been able to pick there track up after a whole night and we had barley any water. If we were to go during the day we would have died of dehydration. She should be grateful that we did get her out of there with the luck we had, plus the amount of pins we were going to spend on her medical bill. If a medical bill costs over 100 pins it's easier to just shoot the person. We had to scrape ever pin we had to pay her bill and i mean every pin, she isn't fully healed but it will do.

"Shut up Honey you know nothing." Sabina sobs looking directly at Honey from her chair. Dex and the others had stepped out to i dunno smoke or something so it is just us four tied up arguing.
"Sabina" Honey says shaking her head "You should know that your medical bill was 200 pins. 200! So you can't sit there and cry poor me."
"I'm not! I'm about to die. Tyler is about to die and you two get to walk away."
Honey rolls her eyes, she is deeply frustrated with Sabina's emotional state. "No one is dying." She finally utters in a confident tone. 

Both Miles and i have stayed out of the argument. If either one of us were to say anything it would just make everything worse. A heavy silence rests with the small rusty squeak of the hook Honey is one and the quiet sob of Sabina but that is before we hear it, the sound of rain. Perfect. Just grate. Hayden and the rest come running in and slam the door behind them. Hayden looks at them and then at each of us. "Well i guess now's a better time than ever."

"A better time for what?" Honey grills in an angry tone, well angry is a bit of an understatement.
"Oh Honey. Look at you trying to play tough. Even though you are so weak." Hayden laugh's as he digs through Dex's pack and pulls out a little kit. I know that kit. It's the torture kit. He places on the ground and unfolds it. It's full of big knives and pliers and needles and everything else. He looks up at Missy with a smart ass smirk on his face.

"No" Missy refuses in an icy tone "We only harm deformed people." Hayden looks at her goon and he also refuses.
"Whatever" Hayden shrugs picking up a medium sized knife and then walking towards me with his face like a predator after attacking it's prey. "More fun for me."
I don't flinch or shriek or make any sudden movements to show weakness, I just sit there waiting, wondering where he is going to cut me first. He reaches his hand out and pulls my head back pressing the rusty old kitchen knife against my neck. I close my eyes waiting for him to kill me and to put an end to this. He doesn't get a chance to pierce my skin. Honey interrupted him.

"No, Hayden." She yelps still looking in Sabina's direction "Don't kill Tyler. Please. Hurt me." She looks down pausing for a little moment "Kill me." Hayden drops my head and releases the knife from my neck wondering over in front of Honey almost about to burst out with laughter. He looks her in the eyes looking for her bluff.
"Why should i kill you Honey? Please intrigue me for a moment."
"Okay." She nods "Reason one is that your brother wants Tyler killed right? Well slitting his throat isn't a creative way." Hayden looks down cupping his chin with the knife still in his hand.
"Yeah I suppose your right. What is the other reason?"
"You and i both know you would get more pleasure killing me than killing him. After i hit you." She reminds him.
Hayden nods "Okay. Well because i can't find any creative ways to kill your brother i'll hurt you in different ways. You know to get some inspiration. I ain't killing you or Miles because we won't get a good deal off the slavers if your dead." Hayden beguines to pace in front of Honey explaining to her his plans for all of us. "Tyler and Sabina will be kept alive to see you two get sold at the slavers camp near the city, it takes around three weeks on foot. After that Missy and i will split the profit we earn from them and Missy takes Sabina back to her camp of weirdos and Dex and I will go back to the Rangers camp. After killing Tyler that is."

I can hardly breath. Honey and Miles or even Sabina shouldn't have to suffer for my mistakes but now they are. My sister will be sent off as a slave for god knows who and be open to so much abuse, so will Miles but boy slaves hardly get brought. Sabina and I are going to die either way, unless we do anything that is. I almost tear up thinking about how much pain i have put them through already not to mention the up coming ever lasting pain i have also caused.

"So everyone knows what is going to happen. Shall we get started Honey?" Hayden asks in a sarcastic tone.
Honey spits on him. His fists clench and he turns her to face me. Our eyes lock and they stay locked the whole time as Hayden starts cutting her back and stomach with the knife, blood dripping slowly on the floor. She closes her eyes when the pain overwhelms her. She doesn'y cry out in pain, she cringes and tenses but no cries. Miles watches in horror behind her and Sabina silently sobs, i just keep my eyes focused on Honey. Comforting her as Hayden gets his thrill out of cutting her flesh. I mouth her words like 'be brave' or 'just look at me.' It is as if our family love can not be defeated by any cuts or knives or psychotic people. I know why she is doing this. To spare the pain and any more blood shed of her friends. She feels like she owes us. She will not go down with out a fight.
