Bleeding Love

Chapter 56

Sophia

"Come" he said and dragged me from there holding my hand. I didn't understand what he meant she didn't come back but something else did. I wonder what happened and why he stopped the story. We reached in our room. Is he not going to tell me further? My question was answered as he opened the closet door and we entered. I still had no clue of what's happening. We went inside to the farthest left of the closet. I never opened that drawer because he generally keeps his bullets and standby guns there. He sat on the floor with his back leaning at the closet wall and I sat in front of him.

He opened the last drawer of the chest and took out a wooden box. I saw how much he was struggling to open it. His hands were shivering and a teardrop fell on the lid. I put my hand on his. "We don't have to do this, if you don't want to babe."  I said to him. "No I have to" he said and opened the box and my hands flew to my eyes as I saw a tore down lime green dress drenched in blood. But to my surprise it wasn't the thing that Don took out from the box. It was an audio cassette that he took out with a media player. "This is what came in her place." He said waving the cassette then he set it up in the media player and pressed play. He leaned back to the wall with his knees closer to his chest and head resting at the wall. He closed his eyes as the tape played.

"Brother help me!!!" That's the first thing I heard. It was a scream of a girl. She continued to whimper and cry loudly. I couldn't hear after five minutes it felt like someone is ripping my body parts. My hand went to stop the tape but Don held it before I could press stop. His eyes were still closed. "Listen till the end" he said and left my hand. The tape went on for twenty minutes and she kept on crying, wailing, screaming,  shouting the words "NO", "please I beg you", "leave me" calling out for help, for mercy, for her brother. The cries has so much pain it felt like someone was burning. I have never heard such painful screams. It made me feel like a thousand spiders crawling  up my skin and I couldn't get rid of them. Thats how scary it was. As she cried out "Brother!" So loudly, my hands instantly reached my ears. I shut my ears with both hands I didn't realize I was crying loudly and I was literally shivering. Then the cries turned to whimpers and whimpers to sobs and the again she said in broken words "Brother please save me" and then there was quite. Nothing. Totally blank.

I couldn't take my hands down. I was still shivering. I felt every cry every scream like I am there,  like its me. It shook me to core. I thought the tape is over but it wasn't.  There was laughter. A man laughing. Seems drunk yet maniac laughter.

"Heard that Caprio? That was me banging the life out of your sister. And I stick to my words "nice rack nice ass. Now I shouldn't take the credit alone. I mean my whole  cartel took the pleasure. All 22 of us. I mean how can I leave my men deprived of such ripe cherry. You should join us too. We are here at the warehouse. Hey girly why don't you call out for your brother. Hey! Hey! Wake up! Well I guess I literally banged the life out of her. Oopsie. Well if any consolation she screamed for you while getting fucked. Anyways see you around, toodles" that man said with click of his tongue and the tape ended.

I can't believe what I just heard. How can someone be this degenerate? Do these people do not have any souls. 22 men raped a 16 year old girl and not one had the humanity to stop.  "The monster who burned 21 people alive just to gain some power"  I remembered Chuck's words. Damon wasn't the monster who burned 21 people alive. He burned 21 soulless ghouls.

He opened his eyes and I literally have nothing to ease his pain. He picked up that torn blood stained dress. "This was all that was left of her when I reached the warehouse. I saw her tied up on an old table with this on and with no part of her body that was not bleeding. There she laid lifeless with her eyes open and tears were dried at her cheeks. 22 men raped my sister and she died yet they didn't stop. He didn't even realize that she was dead already."
