The Outlaw

A dull pain throbbed around his neck making to hard to breath, he gasped for air as his eyes shot open. He groaned rolling on the floor, his entire body ached, his mind was disoriented. He tried to rub the fatigue off his eyes but his hands were tied behind his back. The room was dark there was only one source of light, the bulb that hug freely from the celling.

“i see you’re awake!” a powerful voice said making his stop dead on his track, “Didn’t know you could take such strong drugs so easily.. if it would have been someone else they would have been out for day,,” that authoritative voice became louder by second as the sound of heels clicking on the floor became more prominent.

Shawn looked up in anger when his memories came flooded back, “But you recovered within a day, impressive!” she stepped into the light with an evil smile on her face, like a predator ready to shred its prey.

“Ms. Bruton!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?” shawn shouted aggravated. The sinister look on Lilith’s face could not be missed by Shawn, “And here I was thinking you’d be more intelligent,, *sigh* what a let down. Anyway,, if you didn’t get it yet,, I am here to kill you!” a twisted smile made it way on her face. If the look before was terrifying, this look on her face. The sheer malice the woman held on her face could make the devil shiver in fear, Shawn was no different.

“Now time for some blood bath!” Lilith chuckled stepping back as more women came from the shadows into the light, each one of them had the same look on her face as lilith. They were out for blood, but not anybody’s blood,, just Mason Shawn’s.

“Wait, what have I done to you? PLEASE WAIT!!” he shouted seeing some familiar faces. These women are the one Shawn used for his sadistic purposes and some were the ones who escaped the underground trafficking.

“REMEMBER GUYS!! DO AS YOU PLEASE BUT DON’T KILL HIM JUST YET!! MAKE HIM FEEL THE PAIN HE MADE US GO THROUGH” lilith’s voice roared as the women charged towards Shawn.

“WAIT! NO!! NO STOPPP!!” Shawn cried as he felt another injection on his neck, “I have injected adrenaline in his body now what we can go beyond!!” one of the woman laughed as one of them opened handcuffs. Before he could react he felt nails digging into his flesh, he roared in pain feeling his skin being peeled off from his body.

“PLEASE!! PLEASE I BEGG YOU!! STOP, PLEASE” Shawn cried helplessly being skinned alive. The burning pain could have easily made him pass out if not dead but the adrenaline pumped in his body made it possible for him to stay alive and concious.

He withered in pain as the sharp cold air made contact with his wounded body. His eyes were hazy with crying so much, he felt like someone set him on fire.

“We are not done just yet” a girl whispered him his ears.

Shawn looked at the young woman in terror, before he could register the warning properly, he felt his soul leave his body.

They branded his maim body with a red hot iron. He cried so loudly that his voice box cracked and he gurgled blood, even with fake adrenaline in his body, the pain was too much for him to handle. Black spots appeared before his eyes and before he knew he feel into a blissful darkness.

The dungeon had been filled with shawn’s cry for help, but that was all in vain. Not a single person had let out a fraction of their anger and yet here he was begging for mercy, this only seemed to anger the crowd even more. They all went through hell and all because of him, because he was bored.

The agony they had to go through was unparalleled to what he is going through right now. He turned their happy life to a nightmare, they cried blood for years and years even after escaping the nightmare, the trauma left a huge scare that refused to fade away. All because of him, this bastard who is beaten to pulp now.

“That will be all ladies! Let me have some fun as well” a voice taunted from the shadows. The girls froze up hearing him, “NO! I– we still haven’t had our revenge. This pig needs to feel more pain–” one of the girl shouted that had been trafficked off into another nation by Shawn.

“i understand ladies, but keep in mind, in this quest for vengeance. You may end up just like him…” Dylan said with his arms crossed in front of his chest. This seem to tighten the leash around their anger, they are were hesitant, none of them wanted to leave without seeing that sadist die the worst possible way but they complied to Dylan’s request anyway.

After all he was the one who gave them an opportunity to have their revenge unlike the system that he corrupted.

They all walked out of the door feeling like a bit of burden is off their shoulder. One girl stopped in front of Dylan with tears in her eyes, “Promise me,, promise me that he will die the worst possible way!” she said looking hopeful.

“he will,,, worst than anyone could imagine” Lilith said coming up behind Dylan.

The girl nodded back and walked out of the door into the bright side.

“Its our turn!” he said as a smirk formed on his lips,

“Finally..” she sighed in relief, “I have waited too long for this. I have killed him in so many way in my imagination,, now that I finally have my hands on that bastard,, I don’t know how to kill him..” Lilith chuckled shaking her head.

“Lets draw lots!” Dylan suggested looking at his friend with an evil lopsided smile.

****EXTREME VIOLANCE WARNING****

Shawn yelled feeling very hot, ‘it all had to be a nightmare, please let it be a sick nightmare’ shawn thought as soon as he woke up but reality was far from being that gracious. Shawn yelled felling the heat penetrate his muscles and tightening it. All the muscles in his body stiffened, forbidding him to move, only then he realised his situation, he was in a iron box that was set on fire, he was being cremated alive. His muscles got stuck to the iron walls but there was nothing he could do, black spots appeared before his eyes as his eyes melted in the heat. The pain was too excruciating. His entire life flashed before his eyes.

All the sins he committed, this pain is the result of that. Apart from begging in pain, there was nothing left for him. In a few seconds, death finally welcomed him with open arms.

****END OF SCENE****

Lilith and Dylan patiently waited as his screams finally died down, as the flames rose consuming the flesh of the monster that brought hell in their life, their hatred also died with him.

What that monster had done cannot be undone, they knew fully well, even with that scum gone, the bitterness and void will always remain in their heart but now, it won’t be so hard to breath. Their fight although is far from being over, Shawn was just another piece in this play, there are many more monsters, each one worst than the other, but at least there is one less of them in the world.

“i will be leaving, lily. With him gone, I can finally rest easy but there are still people like him in this world who needs to be eliminated, from now onwards we will work as one. I will be living in the shadows while you work in the light.”

Dylan said holding a small bottle of ashes in his hands.

Lilith nodded back with a small smile on her face, “I know.”

They both smiled at each other before embracing one last time before walking their separate ways.

Lilith stood on the edge of the cliff looking at the calming sunset, “I fulfilled my promise, Kilynn. That scum is dead. You can rest easy now…” she sniffed pouring a small bottle of ashes off the cliff, letting the air carry that atrocious monster into no where.

As she poured the ashes, she felt a warm breeze embracing her, comforting her. She had lived for revenge long enough, its now time to let those feelings go and let her sister’s soul rest in peace.

As the sun went down all the horrid memories of her past went down with it leaving her with happy memories. Lilith looked at the moon with a wide smile as tears clouded in her eyes, “Goodbye Kilynn” she whispered and back off from the edge.
