DEVIANT

Why

***A/N: Another torture scene. Please skip if you're sesitive towards such things. -ptd****

In the dark empty barn, behind the Resting Heart Inn, Sanna and Mr. Benger hung in the middle of the barn, facing each other. They were just a arms length away from each other, however they were unable to reach out and touch the other, even if they wanted to. Their hands were tied above their heads and their feet were bound and spread apart. They were like tied animals waiting to be slaughtered.

The barn was lit up with four brazers that gave them enough light to see each other and Emmy who had fashioned a chair out of vines. She sat with her back to the door of the barn and had filled the whole barn with her vines, as if to ensure no one could enter the barn and no sound could escape it.

Tears fell down Sanna's face as she stared at her lover. They have fallen in love and began their affair six months ago when Sanna and Basker moved into the village. Their attraction towards each other was something that they couldn't ignore anymore and Benger became possessive of Sanna and jealous of Basker.

When they heard that Lady Emmy was on her way back from saving Clovis from disaster, they knew it was time for them to put the blame of Basker's death on Lady Emmy. With all the rumors running about her, another one wouldn't hurt. So they came up with the plan to kill Basker and blame Lady Emmy.

Who knew that their plan would be so easy to defoil. How was it that their plans were so easily found out? No matter how it was uncovered, what mattered at that moment was that they failed. And now they were in the hands of Lady Emmy and they were now in her mercy.

Emmy sat silently letting the silence eat at the adulterous couple. Silence, to let them reflect on their wrong doings, however knowing their evil hearts, they would blame Emmy for their misfortune in the end.

"You thought I was an easy target just because of the rumors that ran wildly about me, huh?" Emmy finally said after a long time.

The vines moved along with her voice and stripped the clothes off their bodies. Even though they struggled, there was nothing that they could do.

"You thought that I would just let you set me up and take the blame for your selfishness?"

Even if Sanna or Benger wanted to scream, their mouths were tied with vines.

"You're right, Sanna. I must have offended one of the Gods in my past life, to have such bad luck in this lifetime. However, just because I have bad luck, doesn't mean I can't fight against it and make my own path." Emmy told them. "To those who want to use me as their excuse for their own mistakes, for their own bad luck, for their own disasters. I will ensure that those rumors about me would be come true. I will ensure that those who uses my name to cover up their own shitty lives will receive everything they said I did and more. My wrath will have no mercy."

Sanna shivered with fright as the watched as the vines whipped her lover's naked back. Over and over again the vines smacked his back, breaking skin as blood ran down his back. With each whip, a loud crack could be heard and more blood pooled down to the ground. His scream was muffled with every hit and Sanna could not scream or plead for Emmy to stop. Her jaw was broken. She could only grunt in pain.

Once Benger lost consciousness, Sanna felt the vines whip her back. With each crack she felt her skin tear apart and blood drip down her back and legs, down to the ground as well. When she too lost consciousness, she thanked the Gods for the small mercy.

Suddenly Sanna felt hot coals on her open wound and woke her up immediately. Her eyes opened to a nightmare as the vines escreated a green substance onto Benger and his skin fell off in chunks. Sanna wriggled and grunted her protest as her lover slowly died in front of her. What was left after ten minutes was just bones. Everything that she loved about him was gone.

She could only cry tears of sorrow for her lost. Tears of pain that her body felt. Tears of regret that she messed with the wrong person. When she saw the green gooey substance reach out to her, Sanna tried to dodge it, however the moment it touched her, she felt a stinging pain and wished she was dead. The sting became a burning sensation as her skin melted off of her. Soon, she too became just a skeleton.

The moment everything was fished, the ground opened up and everything fell into the hole. They were buried along with any evidence of their demise and the vines disappeared as if it was never their. Even the brazers were put out and the barn became dark again.

Emmy could feel her heart become as dark as the room. She had another two notchs that hang heavy on her soul. Another life she took. Another reason why, she shouldn't be alive. Why was she fighting so hard to live? Which Gods did she offend to have such a horrible life. Why her?
