The Notorious Nine: Vampires Will Never Hurt You (FINISHED)

Chapter Fourteen - Someone Buy Me Roses

While I was knocked out my mind thought about Skye's and mines past. I was a Scarecrow for the BLI, and I did horrible and unspeakable things. The things I did still haunt my dreams, the screams of pain echo in my ears.

I even tortured my beloved Skye, this is something I can never forgive myself for. She took everything I did to her and yet she somehow fell in love with me. Now I would stop at nothing to keep her safe, even if it meant my life.

Korse saw me as another son, I knew about Wretched but they had a falling out. We would torture Killjoys and citizens of Battery City together, I was just as sick and twisted as Korse. Sometimes I think I was even more demented then him, and it scares me that I was that way.

The BLI took me away from my mother and father when I was just a kid. They called me an Alpha, I lived in the BLI Headquarters with other Alphas. We were taught how to be strong, emotionless, and how to better the world for BLI's gain.

By the time I was a full Scarecrow, I had murdered several men, women and I even eliminated children. It was my job and I didn't know better, it was what I grew up believing was the right thing to do. When the news about the Fab Four first appeared we didn't know what to think.

They were the first to go against the BLI, outlaws of Battery City. Soon more people followed and they became known as Killjoys. They hid out in the zones, outside Battery City, causing havoc.

We would catch them and torture them, trying to get information on this new uprising. No one ever talked though, I always thought that was quite an honorable thing. There was another Killjoy group, Korse said they were special.

This group was known as the Notorious Nine, and Korse was persistent on getting his hands on them. He said they would be able to help grow Better Living Industries into something great. I mostly went along with whatever was asked of me, only once I refused.

I was given the job of eliminating another Killjoy, I had a name and an address. Like a shadow I moved quietly and swiftly. When I arrived at the place I readied my raygun. I knocked three times, a woman answered the door.

"I'm looking for a Sebastian Aiden, his records show he lives here."

"Yes that's my son, come in in. Is there something wrong?"

We walked into a bedroom, I was expecting to see a teenager or young adult. Instead a little baby laid in a crib, sound asleep. "Where is Sebastian Aiden?"

"This is him, my son. My little angel was born only a few months ago. Is there something wrong?"

This child, this little infant was who I was suppose to eliminate. The baby opened his eyes as I approached, what was I doing? He was just a baby, how could he be a threat to the BLI?

"Nothing's wrong, just a making sure he was doing well. We at the BLI like to check on the newborns and make sure they are growing into healthy citizens. Have a good night mam."

When I went back to report I failed my job, I was whipped mercilessly. Korse did the beating, saying I had betrayed BLI and I had disappointed him. I never failed again, always did what I was told. They never gave me a job again, I was strictly on torture duty.

I was there when they brought in Shattered, although I never got to deal with her myself. Korse kept her all to himself, she was special to him for some reason. The night she escaped with his son was a deadly one. He had went on a rampage killing Dracs in his path, tortured prisoners like they were nothing.

We got another Killjoy in before Shattered escaped, her name was Skye Blu. I felt nothing for her, Korse assigned me to be her torturer. He would join me on some days and would go on his own as well, but for the most part I punished her. Like I said I was just as if not more twisted and demented then Korse. I took things slow and savored the moments.

Out of everyone I tortured, Skye was my favorite. She never screamed, this excited me more then anyone who would beg or plead. It was like a game for me, how long could she last? How long would it take to break her?

The first time I entered the room she was gaged and tied to a chair. That day I kept the gag in, not in the mood to hear begging. Since today was just day one I did light damage. Taking a knife and slowly cutting into her, leaving little cuts all over her body.

The longer she was there, the more damage I did. I had beaten, whipped, carved, sliced, burned, and even choked her. She was nearly dead at some points, just gasping for breathes. One day I even tried to rape her, but Korse interrupted me.

Her final day at the BLI Headquarters started like a normal day. She was strapped down to a table, her body was bruised and bloody. "Today I will break you."

"Fuck you." When those words left her lips I smirked, she asked for it.

I grabbed my tools and began my tortures but today she couldn't take it anymore. She finally let out a scream and I stopped. Something inside me snapped, I looked at what I had done and felt sick. There was something about her that made me change. I can't explain it, to this day I ask myself, what changed?

My eyes locked onto hers, so much pain. "What have I done?"

Somehow she found strength to talk to me. "What's your name?"

"Phoenix."

"This isn't your fault, you were brainwashed by the BLI. You can fix all of this right now, help me leave this place. Come with me and become a Killjoy."

I untied her from the chair and came with a plan. I placed her on the chair and waited, Korse would be coming in today. As he entered I punched him until he was knocked out. Then I put restraints on Skye and started to walk her out of the building.

Korse woke up at some point and sent out a message stating to take us both out. We made it out without too much hassle. However I was shot, we ran out to the zones away from Battery City. Skye found us a place to stay inside a cave and the rest is history.

We met Shattered and Wretched and we joined the group. Now I'm left with the scars of what I was, but Skye has forgiven me and I love her with all my heart. I would now die for her, she was my partner.

My eyes opened to see we were walking in the desert, on our way to the church. The battle will start, I promised myself to protect Shattered and her unborn child. This would help me clean my conscious, maybe only a little but I wouldn't let her get hurt. No matter what I would be with my Skye and hold her in my arms once again.
