He had eventually dragged me away from Swindler. She shrieked and cried out for me but there was nothing I could do. In that moment I was in such utter disbelief.
Cutthroat had returned me to the room I had first woken up in and this time he stuck around.
He sat on the bed with me sitting in between his legs.
His arms stayed wrapped around my body and he leaned his head into my neck.
"I missed you so much..." He mumbled into my neck.
I just couldn't believe it.
How had I not noticed earlier? How had I missed this? How had I not recognized him...
I could feel my heart cracking.
I had missed him as well but this, this was not okay.
He had become just as she had.
This man before me was not the same one I had once known.
"I'm so happy you're back." His hands shook as he held me tightly.
My heart was still racing incredibly fast.
My god what had happened?
Had she done all this?
"I'll never let you go again. We'll live happily together forever."
But I could never be happy not like this.
Not living a life where so many people suffered because of his actions because of what she had done.
This she I was talking about was our "mother", but that was how everyone knew her. Anyone she had taken in was to address her as such. She was a cruel and cold women. She had no love nothing like how a mother was supposed to be.
She was just evil.
She'd take in orphans and raise them to be killers. If we disobeyed we were punished and that punishment was severe. From lashes to bullets. She'd do anything to remind us of our place.
So many children had died and nobody had ever found out and most likely nobody ever would.
There were a lot of other illegal businesses she had been involved in as well. Drugs, prostitution, trafficking, you name it she's done it.
She had taken me in a few years after Cutthroat.
I remember the day I had first met her. She was so happy to see me. I truly believed I'd get a loving mother and a nice home. She had talked the place up to be some magical perfect family. At the time I was too young to realize it was too good to be true.
After I realized the truth of the place I had been devastated. I felt so crushed but he was there. Cutthroat had been my only source of stability. Which was funny considering how he was.
He had always protected me. He was also the reason I had got out in the first place.
Now that I could see him once more I regretted not taking him with me. Maybe just maybe if I had he would have been alright now.
But it was too late now.
Cutthroat had become exactly the type of person she was trying to create.
I wondered if she was smiling when she died by his hands.
"I can't believe it..." I mumbled out.
Cutthroat sucked in a breath and squeezed me tighter.
"I know I understand. God I missed you. You're all mine once more just mine..."
My body shivered in response and this only seemed to make him happier.
"Everything will be fine now." He leaned his head back and flipped us over.
A gasp left my lips.
Cutthroat laid behind me his hands still wrapped as if he was scared I'd leave. He nestled back into my neck and pulled the blankets up over us.
"What was that earlier?"
I waited with anticipation.
I was scared to hear the words from his mouth. I knew already what he was going to say but it didn't seem to stop any of the shock that came with them,
"I did what she did, but better. Didn't you see all the love? They love each other! They're happy! Not like how she did it."
