Deception: Siblings

Chapter 4 (Scars)

They always slept in Cam's room at the cabin, they both had big beds but his was safer in away, the classic pooh drawing Johnny did seemed to make the space brighter.
Something caused Johnny to wake as he looked over, there stood Bash along side his bed just glaring at him.
Before Johnny could utter a whisper Bash covered his mouth so not to wake Cam or Chase.
Bash pulled him out of the bed and led him down the stairs.
Into the room under the stairs that was set up like some creepy old hospital room.
The space always gave Johnny chills.
Tears flowed as Bash opened the secret passageway and shoved Johnny in.
"You should be use to this by now." Bash hissed as he forced Johnny to the door at the end of the hall.
He pinned Johnny's back to wall as he fummbled with the keys.
"I didn't do anything.
I did everything you told me.
I did everything uncle Kurt and Luca said to do." Johnny started to cry.
Bash just rolled his eyes as he forced Johnny onto the set of stairs that led deeper into the bottom of the cabin.
"Either you walk willingly or I shove you and we can see if you survive the fall." Bash hissed as Johnny gipped the rope railing.
Johnny believed Bash would shove him down the forty flights of stairs.
Every step felt like quick sand as he walked deeper into the darkness below.
It was like a cave down there.
Damp and Cold.
It smelt of mold, must, rust and death.
It made Johnny sick and reminded him why he hated coming to the cabin.
Here Bash would beat him more, longer for no reason, leave him down there in a cell for days till he comes to see if he died.
"Please.
I did good today." Johnny pleaded as he froze infront of the door leading to his torment.
"I don't care if you did good John." Bash hissed in his ear.
Bash shoved him inside.
"Sit on the metal table." Bash ordered.
Bash went to wash his hands and put something Johnny thought was a doctor's surgical clothes.
"Take your shirt off, if you have a tee shirt you can leave it on." Bash said from behind the glass window.
Johnny shivered as he sat there waiting for who knows what.
Johnny didn't look around he knew the space all to well.
"Okay lay down." Bash said as he approached with a surgical try contain some sharp pen, alcohol, gauze and medical tape.
Johnny looked at him with fear.
Johnny hated needles and this was worse looking than a needle.
"John you better listen.
If I have to force you, I will not give you anything for the pain." Bash said as he looked at him.
Reluctantly Johnny laid down.
He shook with fear as he did so.
While Bash strapped him down with every strap Johnny started to cry harder...
"Johnny!" Cam sat straight up in bed.
Cam left Chase sleeping as he searched for him.
His heart raced as he neared the stairs.
The room under the stairs caused Cam to feel as if he was going into shock.
Cam could hear Johnny's screams, it was different, more pain laid behind them.
"Cam don't, please come back up here." Chase cried from the railing reaching his hand to him.
Cam looked back to the room.
"Chase go hide and don't let anyone in Johnny and I hid a key we will come in with it.
Now go hide." Cam ordered.
Chase kept begging as Cam walked into the room and into the passageway.
It wasn't easy for Cam to follow Johnny's screams.
Cam froze as he neared the steps and the screaming stopped.
'Only one of two things has happened.
Johnny passed out from the torture or Bash killed him.
If he killed him I will kill him this time.
But if I fail he'll kill me than Chase would be alone for this man to do whatever he wants...
Than don't fail!' Cam went over in his mind the last part was odd as if his mind or something actually commented.
Cam crept to the room, he could hear Johnny sobbing and sniffling.
"Stop you bawling its over." Bash hissed as he wrapped the carving on Johnny's arm.

Johnny froze when he spotted Cam.
"Join us Cam." Bash smirked.
Johnny sit over there.
Cam walked over to the chair and looked at the arm that was wrapped and still bleeding.
"Johnny put your sweat shirt back on." Bash threw his shirt at him.
"Cam once he is dressed strap him." Bash said as he cleaned the table.
Cam shook with fear as he put the straps around Johnny's wrist.
"Make it tight." Bash ordered as he went to was his hands.
"Okay get on the table Cam." Bash said as he gave Johnny a shot.
"Its just an antibiotic.
I don't want you to get an infection.
Cam take off the sweat shirt and lie down." Bash smirked as he gagged Johnny.
"I am in no mood to hear you yell and cuss at me while I work on your brother." Bash smirked as he made sure the straps were tight.
Cam just looked over at Johnny while Bash carved his arm.
Cam screamed in pain till he passed out.
Johnny just cried feeling so helpless.
Once Bash was done cleaning up he took the boys back up.
"Enjoy your birthday present." Bash hissed as he shoved them to the steps.
Solemnly they walked into Cams room.
They all went into that secret room.
Johnny pulled out the medical bag uncle Kurt bought him.
"Let me see." Johnny sighed.
"Kinda cool." Chase smirked.
Cam smirked as he sighed.
"I seen a lot of warriors with that.
Makes you tuff." Chase shrugged.
"This doesn't make you tuff." Johnny said as hot tears streamed.
"Why did he do this?" Cam sighed as Johnny cleaned Cam's arm better.
"I don't know why he dose anything he dose Cam." Johnny sighed.
"Its a warriors mark." Chase said again.
"What are you saying?" Johnny finally sighed.
"Well usually its on the armor the great warriors have that symbol.
Its usually the royal armors." Chase smiled as he looked at it.
"Chase you said your daddy is sitting in for us right?
When did the king die?" Johnny asked as he got in Chase's face.
"Ummm...
The night before Cam came." Chase smiled at Cam.
"Cam if you thought about it, was that week the most and worse beating we ever got?" Johnny sighed as he took a can out of the fridge.
"Cam you want one?" Johnny asked.
Usually Cam refused a drink but today was different.
"Sure.
Yeah it was the worse.
Still soda for you." Cam smirked at Chase.
"So Chase what else you know for an eight year old?" Johnny sighed as he sat on the sofa.
"Well...
You think eight year olds shouldn't know what I know." Chase shrugged as Johnny grumbled.
"Your drinking beer and I know you are not that old." Chase said.
"You let that man hurt you." Chase said.
Johnny bolted up and grabbed Chase by the front of his shirt.
"We don't let him.
See this scar on my head!?
This was because I punched him in the face when he was hitting Cam.
We don't let him.
He drugs us making us weak so we can't fight back." Johnny started crying as he yelled at the kid.
Cam was ready to stop Johnny but he saw Chase wasn't scared or in any pain.
Johnny finally let go of his shirt and smoothed it out.
"Whats this?" Johnny pulled out a dog tag that was gold from Chase's shirt.
"My bible.
I have your's, both of your's." Chase ran to his two wolf stuff animals.
"Sorry they need this now I'll get you new collars soon." Chase whispered to his toys.
Chase ran back and shoved their dog tags in their hands.
"Ouch...
Why did I get a shock?" Johnny asked as he looked at the golden tag.
"Imprinting.
Now that you have it your linked.
And now it will open, plus your skills are on the back, mine is a cross bow.
Daddy said it will change when I get older if I have a better skill for now its his skill.
I never saw dice thats cool.
What do you do?" Chase asked.
"Well aside from robbery hostages and kidnap we do magic." Johnny said as he made a candy bar appear and handed it to Chase.
"Hey I'm sorry I yelled at you.
I would never hurt you Chase." Johnny sighed.
Chase smiled as he hugged Johnny.
"I know." Chase said as he went back to eating his candy.
"Okay aside from your take on us.
What do you know about this royal stuff you keep saying?" Johnny said as he got another but Cam stopped him.
"Well we are princeses...
Actually your king now Johnny and I guess Cam too being your twin.
We have this really cool armor that's our spiritual armor.
And we fight demons." Chase shot his fist towards Cam who fell off the stool from dodging it.
"We have to work on that." Chase giggled as he looked down at Cam.
Cam looked ashamed as Johnny helped him up.
"Are we okay staying in here long?" Chase asked.
"Yeah...
Wait...
Crap he's in the room." Johnny said after he looked at their monitor Johnny pushed the heavy chest they had infront of the door.
Johnny was panicking when he heard Bash pounding on the wall.
"Johnny..." Cam whispered from the bathroom as he hugged Chase who was burring his little face in his chest.
Tears streamed as Johnny backed away and got into the bathroom and closed and locked the door.
"One of these days rats I will find your house and destroy it and you!" Bash yelled as Johnny covered his ears and Cam held Chase tighter.
"He's drunk again." Johnny sighed as he leaned his head on Cam's shoulder.
"We should run away?" Chase said as he started fiddling with the tag Cam now wore.
"We can't.
Cam and I tried that, we got sepererated and beat for a month and starved." Johnny cried.
Chase leaned over and kissed his head.
"Your stronger than you think Johnny." Chase snuggled his head against Johnny as he still held onto Cam.
"I wish that was true squirt." Johnny teased.
They all fell asleep curled up together in the bathroom of the secret room...
