Truth and Hope or Lies and Despair

Chapter Nineteen "Let's have some fun, shall we?"

~* Venus's POV *~

"He is still not speaking?" I asked in frustration, glancing over to the disheveled man tied up to a chair, his head hung low. Liam hasn't talked at all or revealed anything. He only smiled at us, mocking us, like he was enjoying our frustration and anger. All the hurt I use to feel was completely gone, replaced with nothing but burning fury.

Ciel nodded, "the Queen seems to be growing impatient. She wants answers and she can be quite frightening when she doesn't get what she wants."

"Believe me, I know. Once she was angry with me for killing someone without her permission and she made me wear pink for an entire week," I shuddered as I remembered the horrid bright pink dresses that practically screamed 'girliness'. The mere thought of it made me cringe. I continued, "then, she took pictures and posted them all over the castle walls much to my embarrassment."

"You, wearing pink? Now that's a sight I would pay to see," Ciel smirked, mocking me. I sent him a slight glare and elbowed him in the stomach, making him double over. I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips at his pained face.

"One time, I had angered the Queen as well and she sent a hundred cats over to my mansion, knowing I detest those creatures. Being a lovesick fool, my butler, Sebastian, brought them all in and I had allergies the whole time," the Earl frowned. I stared at him for a moment before bursting out laughing. The Earl Ciel Phantomhive, the cruel and evil noble, getting scared of the old lady we call Queen! I find that quite hilarious to say the least.

"I've never seen you laugh before," Ciel smiled at me, making my heart beat pick up. I frowned at this. Irregular heartbeat, perhaps? I should get that checked out sometime this week.

"I've never seen you smile before," I said back through my pink cheeks.

"Awe, look at you two, so cute," Liam's obnoxious voice made the smile vanish from our faces. We exchanged wary glances before turning to Liam who had a goofy grin plastered on his face. He hasn't spoken in days. Why does he choose now to do this?

"You two would actually look super adorable together," he smirked then said playfully, "I better be invited to your wedding!"

"Enough with this foolishness," I snapped angrily then demanded, "tell me why you became the leader of the dark knight."

"Who said I was the leader?" Liam questioned making my eyes widened. I could see the same shocked look cross Ciel's face. Has he been playing us this whole time?

"If you aren't the leader then who is?" the Earl asked.

Liam completely ignored him, his attention fixated on me as he spoke, "If there's a wedding, I think you would look lovely in white. Pure and innocent, like an angel! The mere thought of it makes me excited."

"Can I kill him?" I asked impatiently, my patience snapping at his mocking tone. Everything about him makes me angry. His smug face, his pompous voice, the thought of him just gets on my nerves.

"I wish. But the Queen was very specific about what we shall do with him. Interrogate then hand him over to the Scotland Yard," Ciel stated.

I scoffed, "the Scotland Yard? Those idiots will make it easier for him to escape. Trust me, I know. I use to work with them, those stupid fools."

"Queen's orders," the Earl repeated making me sigh in frustration. Then what the hell are we going to do with him now?

"Just because you can't kill him, doesn't mean you cannot beat the answers out of him."

I glanced over at Ciel to see if he was serious. The look on his face told me he was. A sinister smile was placed on his lips as he nodded. I couldn't help but smirk back. Now, this is what I'm talking about...

Liam's face paled. He's seen me inflict pain on people I needed answers from previously and knew how brutal this was going to be. Because of the fact that I myself have been tortured and not just by anyone but by a demon, I may or may not have gotten some ideas of the best way to torture. With me, people crack within minutes. I bet the Earl is the same, having some history about torture I assume. I read his file and recalled he was tortured when he was kidnapped after the death of his parents.

"Uh, n-no n-need to be hasty now," Liam stuttered nervously.

"Ciel, may I borrow your gun?" I asked with a sadistic smile on my face.

He replied with a hint of excitement in his voice, "of course you may."

With a gun now in my hand, I had already calculated twenty painful torture methods that could get him to talk. But this wasn't enough. It wasn't agonizing enough. He deserved more after all the hurt and betrayal that I've been through because of him.

"Please summon Sebastian and ask him to get me my bag. In my bag, there should be a vile that is labeled ACID."

I plan to dip each bullet in burning acid before shooting. Liam started to struggle against his binds desperately. Ciel nodded with an evil look on his face and walked out of the room.

"N-No matter what you do, I will never talk!" Liam said confidently but I could clearly see the fear in his eyes.

"We will see about that."

Ciel came back with what I had requested. With each bullet now coated in acid, I cocked the gun and aimed. Panic was all I could see in Liam as he gazed at the weapon. I looked over at Ciel for permission to shoot. He just nodded with a wild look on his face. He was definitely going to enjoy this as much as I will.

"Let's have some fun, shall we?"

As those words left my mouth, I pulled the trigger.
