Family P & C 18

Trigger warning

--------------------

Time seemed to stand still. The world felt like the minute it had the audacity to stop spinning, it would explode. The elders were on the verge of offering their souls to banish this cruel and impossible existence in front of them.

Yet, the truth of the nightmare was that it wasn't an illusion but real.

This black-hearted person who used to be naïve and foolish took a step towards them and it was so loud it echoed in their hearts causing any parts of their bodies to become numb.

Someone who shouldn't be here was here. Someone who should be writhing in pain in the depths of hell was here, healthy and unhurt.

Someone who they should be looking down upon was here sending shivers of fear and terror into them.

Lia just needed to look at them and her anger rose. It was unbearable for her at the moment to let these two live.

"Now that Elder P and Elder C seem to know who I am, tell me what does Min want with the ghosts?"

Lia's voice awoke them from their disbelief and trance. They slowly came to reality and looked at each other.

Elder C blurted out, "How the fuck are you here?"

"Shouldn't I be here?" Lia just retorted.

"All these years spent in the abyss, I will gladly slowly repay them to you. One by one," seeing they didn't say anything and only stared with wide eyes, she continued,

"You had your fun, no?"

"Lia," Elder P scrambled to find words. He was lost, he had no idea how to swallow this huge amount of revelation nor what to do.

"Crawled your way out of hell. A literal pain in the ass," Elder C was the first to recover, "So, what? You're here not changing the fact you'll end up there again."

Seeing that Elder C was unfazed, Elder P also started to become more confident. So what if she was here? So what if she had that mysterious power?

Lia sneered at the sight. It didn't take them long to revert back.

"Don't forget this is my floor," from the table's drawer Elder P picked up a weapon and immediately sent it Lia's way.

She dodged it but another one came flying. She evaded it again but within that time Elder C got a hold of a sword and attacked Lia.

The tip barely grazed the skin around her neck. Lia had to jump back to put distance between her and Elder C but soon she hit the wall. Elder C swung the sword, wanting to bring it down on her when Elder P hurriedly shouted,

"Don't! Elder C don't forget, the Ghost King needs her alive!"

The sword stopped in its momentum and Elder C's eye twitched. Lia used the opportunity to escape from Elder C, yet she only walked sideways before halting.

Elder P's words piqued her interest but not in a good way. They needed her alive? For what? Was that why she couldn't die and had to be brought back over and over again by that statue? Was that why they threw her in the abyss instead of killing her?

"You're damn lucky," Elder C hissed and stood straight. The sword loosely held in his hand.

"So you need me alive?"

"You got tons of questions," Elder P smirked, "And we've got answers. You-"

"Shut up," Lia's patience was thin and her voice froze the room by several degrees. The elders have never seen her like this and it caught them off guard.

"You seem to forget, I'm the one here making the rules."

With a quick hand movement of hers, two corpses charged at the elders.

They futilely dogged and were caught. The weapons they held were stabbed into the rotten meat of the corpses but it had no effect.

"They're already dead, how are you going to kill them again?" her mocking was hateful to their ears. What goddamn power was this?

With the knives securely planted in their skins, the corpses continued to hold both elders down on the floor, wrapping their hands behind their backs.

Lia was very amused watching their bitter faces clouded in hatred, squashed on the ground, their mouths incessantly spitting curses and slurs, their agitated behaviour wishing to rip her apart.

"Doesn't feel great, no?" she crouched in front of them and lightly tapped their cheeks. Her face showed disgust as she wiped her hands on their clothes.

"Ha, you think you're so great? Much confident?"

"Does the situation tell you otherwise?"

They shut up and glared at her.

For a while, nothing happened. Lia only tilted her head and hummed absent-mindedly.

"Fuck, say what you want!" Elder C's face was red and he had a hard time breathing. The corpse was kneeling on him and he laid flat as a pancake on the ground.

"I was thinking if I should let the corpses have a go at you or kill one of you to violate the other," Lia gave them a sweet smile.

"You're fucking nuts, bitch!" Elder C roared in anger.

"What are you so afraid of? You had no problems doing it to my mother but now that you are on the receiving end, you chicken out? Isn't that a double standard?"

Just the thought of what disgusting and degrading things they've done to her mother broke her whole mind into tiny pieces that all chanted at the same time, singing the hymn of death.

Lia instantly dropped her smile and rose. With a frightening calm expression, she raised her leg and BAM-

Stomped their heads to the ground. Again and again. Their noses broke, their teeth flew around and blood spilt.

It was liberating.

When she finally stopped, she grabbed Elder P by the hair and made him look at her, "Piece of shit."

She proceeded to take a knife and cut his clothes open. The same fate awaited Elder C.

Their cries and moans were like a thunderous melody carried by the wind caressing her into a state that bordered on sanity and insanity. Her gaze wandered between the two males with their butts held up and their holes abused as she faintly smiled.

She didn't enjoy killing innocent people, even killing Second and Third did not bring her any joy but this here-

This right here, she enjoyed very much. To the deepest core inside of her. It was pure bliss and exhilaration seeing them being tortured, abused and scream in pain just like how they did to her parents, to her family.

The people that have been directly involved receiving their redemption put her mind at ease and the frustration she felt from not being able to finish Elder Z off herself, finally melted away and a huge burden fell off her shoulders.

Was she being ruthless? Too cruel? Too perverted? Did that even matter?

What she had now within her grasps was more important than any morally raised questions. It was unfathomable ecstasy.

The brutality mixed with the painful screams and the white, sticky liquid went on for a while.

The fingernails of the abused males were bloody as they scratched deep lines into the ground. Lia continued to enjoy this moment. She just sat on the chair and watched before she opened her mouth and an incredibly wonderful word set them free,

"Stop."

The corpses stopped.

"Pull out."

They extracted themselves and the panting bodies of the elders fell limp on the ground.

"Can you still talk?" Lia put her elbow on the table and laid her head in the palm of her hand.

Their faces showed pain, exhaustion and extreme hatred. Lia was in a good mood but she finally also felt disgusted by what she had made her corpses do. It was incredibly degrading to the elders yet that was why it was so worth it.

"Do you want to tell me what I want to know or do you want to have another go?"

The elders didn't say anything and then Elder C bitterly laughed, as best as he could.

"Never."

Lia tilted her head and her smile made them realise that no matter what, they were doomed,

"It's fine, even if you don't tell me, I'll know but if you do, there'll be no second chance. You should think wisely."

Despite the truth in her words, they grit their teeth, only finding the last string of hope not telling Lia what she desperately wanted to know.

Although she wanted to see them suffer more, it was time to finish this. She was worried about Noel and Nessa.

She got off her chair and pulled out her knife. She wanted to end them herself when suddenly a loud noise grabbed everyone's attention.

A bad feeling rose in her chest and she ordered the corpses to move away from the entrance to this floor.

Seconds later her premonition came true.

The door opened and two males came in.

Lia's eyes widened as she saw what they were doing.

"Let the elders free," one of the males said and pointed another sword at Nessa.

The other held Nessa captive, a knife to her throat.

"Kim, I'm sorry," tears ran down Nessa's face as she apologised over and over again until the male ground the knife deeper into her throat.

She choked and her body trembled.

"Ha!" Elder P spat out.

"Let them go now," the male repeated himself.

Lia once again cursed. If only she had finished them off earlier, then none of this would've happened! Why did she never seem to learn?

Now, she was faced with the choice to either let the elders go and save Nessa, hoping she could then take them all out later or try to take them out now, hoping Nessa wouldn't get hurt.

Either choice was a huge gamble.
