Death By The Lakeside

Chapter 14

The gag was tight around his lips, it was too tight for that matter. He groaned awake but he only wishes he doesn't wake up anymore because when he does they'll be ready, ready to strike again. 
"look he's awake" said Emma who's voice was calmer than her usual self but needless to say that she was any kinder. Both Azazel and Sebastian smiled, smirking as Erik squirmed awake,they approached him silently as he tried to speak but was muffled by the cloth over his lips. 
"aww he wants to speak.. well too bad" said Emma as she sat down in from of Erik his eyes tearing up again shaking his head as he did so. Azazel kneeled down next to her and grinned even wider. 
"strangle him, I want to see his eyes beg for your release" said Sebastian Shaw stepped closer to their victim. Azazel wasn't going to argue with that suggestion and just like that before Erik could even get used to the light again large, rough hands covered his neck.

The gag stopped him from breathing and the hands were doing the same. His eyes were in tears and were growing in size and for so long he couldn't breath as the hands around his neck tightened. 
"okay Azazel that will do" said Shaw as Erik felt the hands loosen from his neck. He tried to cough but it was painful, the blood covering the cloth, Erik sobbed hard trying to cope with the strangleation, to stop his head from pounding but it still didn't disperse. The trio laughed as Emma came close to Erik and kissed his gagged lips. 
"it's a shame we had to gag you,you did have tasty lips" she said seductively as she ran her cold fingers up and down his bloody face and matted hair. 
"come on, just leave him there we got to get more firewood for tonight" said Shaw pulling out his knife again. It's blade still coated with Erik's dry blood. 
"but..." Asked Azazel but was rudely interrupted by Shaw. 
"look his not going anywhere is he? Now come on" he pursued walking pass them and jabbed the knife into Erik's side that sent pain coursing through his body once again.

Charles had been struggling to maintain his balance as he walked through the woods but the thought ran through his mind as he looked over his shoulders. He stopped and ran the opposite direction knowing Erik wouldn't like this at all. He ran deep into the forest until he was back where he had started, and there he saw blood covering the ground and leaves on the bushes. 
"oh my god" whispered Charles as he followed the trail, he followed it until it came to a clearing in the woods. The mad trio had just left before Charles came which was lucky as Charles wanted to scream until his lungs hurt as he looked at the person in front of him.
"oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" 
When no one was looking Charles crepted towards him.
"ERIK! OH GOSH..Erik..E.. Erik what have they done to you?" Charles muttered as he fiddled with he gagged. It took him some while to release it from his mouth until Erik was able to breath again, he took a large gasp of air before his eyes broke into tears again.

Erik rested his head on his shoulders and bared not to open his eyes in the thought this was a dream. 
"it's okay... It's okay baby, I've got you" cried Charles craddling Erik's head. 
"Charles... Charles... What... What are you doing here?" Cried Erik, his heads still behind his back. 
"I know.. I know I'm stupid but I couldn't... I need you please... Oh my gosh" replied Charles as he gasps at the knife deep into his husband's side. 
"I'm going to get you out of this...please just let me.." 
Erik shook his head as he thought he heard voices in the distance. 
"run... CHARLES RUN!"
"I can't Erik please, I can't...I..." 
Erik leaned in close as he kissed Charles on his lips. 
"please... Don't do this for me... Please.." cried Erik once more before Charles cried in full tears touching Erik's face and kissing him on his forehead before leaving all over again.

Erik will die.. 
Charles ran and ran as fast as his legs could go. He couldn't see where he was going as the tears rained on his face, Erik's blood still pressed upon his face. He stumbled his way forward as though he raced through the thoughts. Erik's on the other hand was crying loudly crying with his own tears and blood. But he stopped all this when they came back and they weren't happy. They were never happy. When they saw Erik's gag removed from his mouth and the knife loose to the ground Shaw was angry. He was furious. And he knew one thing as he approached Erik kicking his already broken body, he pulled at his blood matted hair and bashed his head again on the beam. 
He spat at his face and grabbed the knife and forced it in his arms drawing blood from them. He took his belt from his trousers and screamed at his companions. 
"UNTIE HIM NOW!" 
They did not complain as they took off the barb wire carefully and pushed him harshly on the ground. 
"YOU THINK YOUR SMART? YOU THINK YOU AND YOUR BITCH COULD GET OUT OF THIS? WELL FUCK YOU! I'LL MAKE YOU SUFFER!"
And with this he ripped off Erik's shirt and brought his belt upwards. Erik closed his eyes and only thought of Charles when the first lash contacted skin.
