6 Camp

"So what exactly is our next move?"

Sadie asks as she stares out the window, her eyes taking in all of the death and destruction.

"Well, I'm bored and want a base of operations. Which means, we're about to go take over a town or whatever the Fuck you wanna call it."

I say with a laugh as I look at the speedometer, we're about hit 120 and this car is still driving like a dream.

"And how exactly do you plan on doing that?"

She asks with a smile as she turns to him.

"Well, you're about to see darlin."

I smile as I point ahead and scan my eyes over what I'm seeing, it's a small shitty tent town in a field about five miles away

But, it does look like they have a few nice cars and a stash of supplies.

Sadie takes a deep breath as she starts checking her weapons, making sure they're reloaded and ready.

"Don't worry about that darlin, if all goes as planned, there won't be any need for us to fire a single shot."

I say as we get about a mile away and I cut off the road into the field, heading straight towards the tents.

"Whatever you say, sir."

She says with a smile as she slides her shirt over the pistol.

I can see the people already coming out to see what's making noise, by my count there's seventy-eight.

I slow down and turn the car so my door is facing the town.

"Take a deep breath and keep your rifle by your side, don't make any sudden moves."

I say softly as I start to open the door and step out.

"Brent, do a scan and make sure this is it, also check for recently dug holes."

I say into my head as I scan over the crowd, they're carrying a variety of short and long ranged weapons.

A man steps out of the crowd carrying a muzzleloader, he's covered in blood and visceral.

"Well hello sir, how are you doing on this fine day?"

I ask with a smile on my face as I start to look closely at the crowd, they're malnourished and dehydrated.

A couple of them look like they're on the verge of death.

"What the fuck do you want?"

He snarls and tightens his grip on the rifle, letting his finger rest on the trigger as he watches me.

"Well, a couple of you looked a little hungry and I have some spare food."

I smile as I go to turn towards the car, but I'm stopped by the click of a hammer.

"Sir, there's no need for any violence here."

I turn back around to find the rifle's barrel aimed towards my head.

"Well son, I think there is. You're gonna give us everything and you might leave with your life."

He says with a wicked smile as his finger hovers over the trigger.

I smile as my eyes move to the bloody butcher's knife on his hip.

"Brent, is he doing what I think he is?"

I ask as I feel a fire start to burn inside my chest.

"Yes sir."

Is all he says before going quiet.

"I'm gonna give you chance to do this right, okay?"

I say with a laugh as I take a step forward.

"DON'T MOVE!!"

He screams as his hands start to shake.

Sadie can't believe her eyes, he is fucking insane. She doesn't understand what he's doing, but she trusts him for some reason.

So, she keeps the rifle to her side and doesn't move.

"Fine, do you wanna kill me?"

I cut my eyes and look into his as I ready myself.

"Maybe I do, it'd be easier to take your shit."

He laughs slightly and keeps his aim on my head.

"If you're gonna kill me, make sure you fucking do it right."

I snarl as I step forward in the blink of an eye, gripping the rifle barrel and putting it in between my eyes.

"Now, don't twitch and make damn sure you don't pull that trigger.

Gently squeeze so you make sure my fucking head comes off."

I roar as I hold the barrel and look into his eyes.

"Uh.... Um... I.. Uh."

He starts stuttering as his hands start shaking uncontrollably.

I growl as I push the barrel up and yank, pulling him towards me so I can kick him in the chest.

I can't help but laugh as he lands flat on his back, getting knocked out from the pain.

I don't even hesitate as I toss the rifle between my hands, running my eyes up and down it.

I lift it up and bring it down over my knee, snapping it in half with ease before tossing it to the side.

"Now, I'm gonna turn my attention to you."

I say as I turn to the crowd.

They're all just standing there with fear in their eyes, each gripping their weapons with white knuckles.

It's a group with a little bit of everything in it; men, women, children, black, Asian and maybe even an albino.

"You have to understand, I don't wanna kill you."

I pause and watch as they trade confused looks.

"From what I've assessed, you're all hungry and thirsty, plus I think he's been trying to feed you people.

Does that sound about right?"

I ask as I run my eyes over everyone.

They all sit there and nod in agreement, still untrusting but still curious about where this is headed.

"I'm building an army of motivated men and women, I'll teach you how to thrive in this shitty world.

You'll have my personal protection, near unlimited power and you'll get to live again.

We can have whatever the fuck we want and you won't be living like scavengers.

Does that sound like something you all would be interested in?"

I ask with a smile as I watch their eyes sparkle at the thought.

"What would we have to do?"

A random voice comes from the crowd.

I turn to the man laying on the ground, slowly regaining consciousness.

"Step forward if you're interested and I'll tell you."

I say with a smirk as I look at the crowd.

Ten men slowly move towards the front, moving just a few feet away from the crowd.

"Oh, did I forget to mention this offer extends to any who joins with family?

If you join me and you have a family, they become a part of my family and get my protection."

I smile as ten more men step forward, leaving only the women and children behind them.

"That's more like it."

I laugh slightly and lean against the car.

"WAIT! How do we know you can protect us? Anyone could have come in here and overpowered that bitch."

A man in the group says as he looks toward the man on the ground.

"That's a very good question and I was hoping you'd ask."

I smile as I turn and point towards a group of four buildings, they're decently sized and about a mile away.

"Do you see those buildings?"

I ask with a laugh as I turn back towards the man.

"Yeah....."

The man says with a confused look on his face.

I snap and smile as I watch the group's faces, they're in awe.

"How about now?"

I ask with a laugh and turn to look at Sadie, she's standing there dumbfounded that I actually just did that.

"Now, shall we talk about the matter at hand?"

I ask as I gesture towards the man on the ground, he's sitting there terrified because he doesn't know what's gonna happen.

"Just tell me what I need to do and it's done."

The man says as he looks into my eyes.

"Is that how everyone feels?"

I ask as I scan my eyes over the men.

They all nod and wait for instructions.

"Good, it's time for you to prove that you can kill.

At this time, I'd advise that the women and children go inside their tents.

You probably don't wanna see this, I mean unless you're into that kinda thing."

I say with a laugh as I point to the man.

"Grab him and follow me."

I snarl as I start to walk away from the tents.

"Sadie, I want you by my side."

I yell back as I stop about fifty yards away and turn back to the tents.

Sadie runs towards him, she doesn't know why but she wants to be by his side.

She stops and stands to his left, not speaking and relaxed.

I watch as the men all walk up in a group, there's four of them holding the man to make sure he's restrained.

I snap and watch as a wall with shackles appears to my left.

"Hook him up."

I say with a smile as I snap and a braided whip appears in my hand.

"Hold this for a moment."

I say as I hand the whip to Sadie and step in front of the men.

"Get in a single file line and don't speak."

The men slowly line up and just stare at the wall ahead, all sharing the same confused look.

"Now, I need to make sure that you're comfortable with inflicting pain."

I say with a smile as I wave Sadie to me and she walks up.

"My beautiful assistant here will demonstrate.

There are some ground rules;

1. You will not hold back.

2. You will not kill him.

3. You must draw blood, no matter how many strikes it takes."

I say with a wicked smile as I turn to Sadie, leaning down to whisper in her ear.

"You wanted a monster, right?

Now go make your king proud, princess."

I say softly before pulling away and looking into her eyes.

Sadie looks down at the whip then up at him.

"Yes my king."

She says with a smile as she turns around and faces the man.

She looks into his eyes and she can see them pleading for mercy, but she just doesn't have any to give him.

"RAHHHHHHH!!"

She roars as she raises the whip and brings it down on his chest, splitting it open with a single hit.

She feels nothing as his screams fill the air and blood runs down his chest.

"HELL YEAH!"

I yell with a smile as I turn to the men.

"She just did it with one hit, don't let her show you all up."

I laugh slightly as I take the whip and she moves back to my side.

"Get up there and give me everything you got."

I say as I toss the front man the whip and watch him grab it from the air.

The man steps forward and grips the whip until his knuckles are white, raising it and slamming it down with ease.

All I can do is smile as I watch twenty men take turns whip this man until he's bleeding.

"River, you truly are one sick fuck."

Brent says from my head in a giddy tone.

"Never said I wasn't, buddy...

But, now get ready for the big finish."

I laugh slightly as I step forward, the final man has hit him.

I look at the shackled man and it's brutal, he's covered in so much of his own blood and he's barely clinging on to life.

"Now, who's gonna finish him off?

It has to be brutal and I want to see the fear in his eyes even when he's dead."

I say as I watch the group of men.

A look of horror spreads across all their faces as they look behind me.

I turn around and what I see is truly incredible.

Sadie walks up and starts beating him in the stomach with her fists.

Stopping only to bring her blade up and slit his throat, before reaching through the hole and giving him a Colombian Necktie.

He's still sitting there alive, barely breathing as his tongue sits out a hole in his throat.

She finishes him off by slamming her blade into his stomach, ripping upwards and creating a giant hole as she shreds his rib-cage.

She reaches into the hole and pulls his heart away as blood covers her body.

She looks back towards River and the men, never losing her smile as she drops his heart and stomps on it.

"Jesus Christ."

I say under my breath as my eyes run over the scene of pure brutality.

"Well since she took care of that, each of you go home.

It's getting dark, by the time you wake up there will be food and water."

I say to the group before looking at Sadie as she walks to my side.

"Yes sir."

They say in unison and head towards the tents.

"Let's go get some rest."

I say with a laugh as I wrap my arm around Sadie's shoulder and walk towards the car.

Trying to figure out how we're gonna sleep in there for the night.....
