Kickdrum Beating in My Chest Again (Alternate Version)

Chapter 100

!!!!!!!!!!Author's Note!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone! Happy Friday (ish)! I hope you all had a good week. Mine was pretty boring and uneventful. I wish I had something more exciting to share, but I don't. I've been getting ready to perform my St. Patrick's Day gigs. I had to learn an hour set of Irish Folksongs for an assisted living facility I was singing at, but I didn't get to perform it because Covid happened. Since then, I've offered it to various venues in the area to sing the weekend of St. Patrick's Day, and managed to get three gigs next weekend. I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but over Christmas, I had an issue with a venue refusing to pay me. After that, it prompted me to begin looking for a simple performance contract to protect myself in the future. It took me a while, but I found one that I liked and did a general version of it so now I can customize it fore each venue, so I've been working on getting those together and out to the various venues. I may have done a lot of sitting around, but at least I was productive about it. One of my gigs asked me to make a promotional flyer too, so I did that as well.

This week, Eric sees Patrick's blood on the handcuffs and the floor and licks it up, Gabe re-pierces Patrick's nose again, and Patrick fights hard against Spencer to get the IV in. Eric holds him down and then Spencer inserts the IV, paralyzing him. Gabe orders Shane to shave the top of Patrick's chest, and Gabe begins the new tattoo. Patrick is in terrible pain immediately and worries about how he's going to stay awake through that much pain.

As always, Enjoy, tell your friends, and if you like it, feel free to vote for my story or leave me or a message! Happy reading!

Chapter 100

********Trigger Warning for Graphic Violence********

Eric, who's been standing off to the side this whole time, smells Patrick's blood on the handcuffs tightened around his wrists. They are covered in blood, and he notices that there are two small puddles of blood on the floor underneath his wrists. He moves a little closer to him and the aroma of Patrick's blood hits him like a ton of bricks. It smells like nothing he has ever smelled before. It's a unique blend of sweet strawberries, watermelon, and maraschino cherries and he had to taste it. The urge was so strong that he crept even closer to Patrick. He was about to start licking the handcuffs when he remembered that he'd pissed off Gabe pretty badly. He should probably ask for permission before he does this. He looked up and found that Gabe was busy piercing Patrick's lower lip, so he waited until he was done before saying anything.

"Hey Gabe?" Eric asks.

"Yes Eric?" Gabe looks over at him annoyed.

"These handcuffs are covered in his blood and there are two small pools of blood on the floor beneath where his wrists were. His blood smells amazing! It's like nothing I've experienced before. May I lick Sugar's blood off the handcuffs and the floor?" Eric asks.

Gabe hadn't even been paying attention to Patrick's wrists, so he looked down and saw the cuts and ring of blood around each one.

"Sugar? What happened to your wrists? Why are they all bloody?" Gabe asks, forgetting that Patrick can't speak and licking the blood off his wrists and hands.

Patrick tries to mime the handcuffs being too tight, but Gabe doesn't understand. Patrick points to his throat and mimes talking with his hand. Gabe seems to get it this time.

"You may speak." Gabe commands.

"Thank you. Your cronies made the handcuffs very tight around my wrists so that they were digging into my wrists. Then when I was fighting and thrashing, the handcuffs dug into my wrists even more, making them bleed." Patrick answers.
