You Can't Forget

Tord rushed at the boy and he tried to jump back in fear but was stopped by Paul and Patryk. "What is your name!?"

"D-D-Daniel!" He trembled and tears ran down his face. He looked to be about 15.

"Well then Danny. Thank you. Thank you so much. You saved Tom!" Tord started to clap slowly. Daniel just looked confused. Paul and Patryk glanced at eachother. Tord looked at them and nodded. Paul held onto the boy as Patryk began unstrapping Tom.

"Tord, what the fuck is happening..." Tom was still pale. He was no longer tied down but he still lay there not moving.

"Today is your lucky day Tommy boy!" Tord spun on his heel to face Tom. "Seems that you'll be spared today. But as for THIS traitor..." Paul dragged Daniel forwards. "Well.... he won't be so lucky."

"Wh-wh-what's h-happening!?"

Tord picked up Tom gently and carried him to a chair in the corner. Tom was too scared to struggle. Tord set him down then tied him in. "Now you have a clear view of the show, Tommy boy!"

Paul shoved Daniel down onto the table. He strapped him down onto his back. Tord grabbed a long thin knife and jumped up on top of him. He grinned down at the young boy. His eyes were huge and he was sobbing.

"TORD STOP HES JUST A KID!!!!" Tom began rocking the chair, but the ropes were tight.

"No Tommy, hes a traitor." Tord used the knife to cut away the boy's uniform so his bare chest was showing. "Hey Paul, get me a drink, would you?"

"Yes sir!" Paul hurried away, glad to be out of the room, even if just for a moment.

"Now then. Pat. What do we do to traitors?"

"We kill them." Patryk's voice was flat, showing no emotion.

"Yes." Tord made a long quick slice down Daniel's left side. He cried out in pain and terror. "We have no room for traitors here." He cut another line in top, making the letter 'T'

Paul came back in with a glass of lemonade. He handed it to Tord then went to stand by Patryk. He kept his eyes down.

"We have no room for un-loyal soldiers." He cut the letter 'R' into the boys chest. He cried out again. "We have no room for YOU!!!!!" Tord quickly finished carving the word 'traitor' into Daniel's chest. He sat up, still on top of the boy, and sipped his drink. He set it aside and grabbed the boy's head.

"So guess what Danny?"

"P-please.... Do what you want.... I don't wanna die...."

"Oh, shut up." Tord made two slits on either side of the boy's mouth. Daniel stayed silent, knowing what would happen if he spoke.

Tom was staring horrified at the scene unfolding in front of him.

Tord picked up his drink and took another sip. He grinned madly and held the cup above Daniel's chest.

Tom knew what was about to happen. "TORD NO!"

Tord poured the drink all over the boy's fresh wounds, burning the flesh with the lemon. "WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS!!!!!!!"

Daniel screamed. The slits on his mouth tore. He screamed and screamed, ripping apart his cheeks. Paul looked away and grabbed Patryk's hand. Tom tried to look way but couldn't. The only sounds in the room was Tord's laughter, Daniel's screaming, and the sound of Tearing flesh.

"OH GOD STOP MAKE IT STOP TORD KILL HIM PLEASE!!!!" Tom couldn't take it anymore, this was worse than the feeling of the knife.

Tord leapt off of Daniel and cut Tom free. He handed him the knife then shoved him towards the boy. Paul hugged Patryk. Tom stumbled to the table and looked at the bloody mess of a human before him. Without saying a word he plunged the knife into the boy's chest and the room fell silent.
