Chapter 30 Time, and Time Again
"Where's Grey?" one of the cannibals frustratingly asked.
"Probably left us for the pussy," Princess said in disgust. "While the four of us can just sit and dick around because of these two stupid shits." He pointed at Jacob and Daire.
"He's laughing at all you right now, I bet. Fool a group of dickheads to sit around all night while he's fucking some whores. Probably railing a fine young princess right now, giving her the full royal treatment and everything," Jacob replied.
"What the fuck you just say?!" Princess asked fiercely, puffing out his skinny chest.
"Put on a dress and a wig, and I'm sure he won't even mind if you take the whore's place."
Even the cannibals were laughing at Princess. Princess' eyes twitched. He was beyond furious. His own allies were now laughing at him. He was tired of being the boy everyone picked on. "Listen close you fucking Marble," Princess said with a seething and vibrating voice. "I don't care what anyone says. I will kill you in cold blood, right here right now. In fact, you'd best stay in the back of your cell or I'll skin you alive."
Jacob went and leaned on the front of his cell bars. "I always call bluff when the dick of a child is bigger than his ambition."
The cannibals lost their composure and were on the ground laughing. It was Princess' breaking point. "I'm gonna kill you, you mother fucker!" he screamed, breaking his voice. With an uncoordinated movement he yanked a knife from his side and lunged at the bars. Jacob had already backed away at the slowness and inexperience of Princess' ability. "Why you backing up, huh?!" he continued yelling, his neck muscles flexing and his veins popping out of his head. "Where you going, you bitch!"
"Put that knife away and unlock this cage and I'll show you what it feels like to get a fist up your ass."
Daire was observing the actions as much as he was enjoying it. He didn't know of any plan that was to be executed, but he knew that this was probably it. He had never seen someone so riled up from such primitive insults. He stood at the ready. As soon as he could figure out what Jacob was doing, he was going to pounce on the opportunity to help.
Princess turned around and made a beeline to the keys hanging next to the door, only to be stopped by his fellow colleague. "What do you think you're doin?" the barrel chested cannibal demanded, pushing Princess back.
"I'm gonna turn this fucker inside out!" Princess enraged, trying to move the quarter ton ball of muscle out of the way.
It was no use, the dense man held Princess back like an infant having a tantrum. "No, you're not," the cannibal replied, pushing him back with ease. His stature was a warning, showing that if Princess tried to get by him again, he wouldn't be as lenient.
"Let him," the lanky cannibal said, feeling amused.
The big cannibal looked less than impressed. "If any of these two die before tomorrow, we're going to die too."
The lanky cannibal shrugged his shoulders. "Then take away his knife. It won't matter if he has a few bruises," he said, wanting for some excitement.
The big cannibal thought for a moment then a silent look said that he was on board with the game. He turned around and grabbed the keys from the hook and held them in his hand, just out of Princess' range. "Take off your belt," the big cannibal said, holding out the keys.
