2. Give Me A Hand
The ride to Brimstone was quiet, other than me humming Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’, while Dario stared at me like I was a psycho. I love keeping my brothers on their toes when it comes to my music choices.
Pulling into the parking lot, I notice the same dark-haired kid that was with Caspian a few nights ago at Spade’s race, dragging something in a tarp to the back of the building. My curiosity is peaked, but I will worry about that later. Clearing my throat, I say,
“We’re here, brother. Let’s go get our girl.” He nods, getting out of the car. We quickly walk across the lot to the entrance. Pulling the door open, we are greeted with a crowd of people yelling and screaming, but all we can hear is the sound of skin hitting skin. As we get closer, I stop dead in my tracks when I see Jade is in the cage fighting a man twice her fucking size. I pull Dario by the back of his shirt before he barges right in. I already know what the fuck he’s about to do, and we cannot do that here. We have to do it the right way. Walking over to the dickhead with the clipboard, I yell,
“Yo, how much to interrupt the fight?” His eyes connect with mine and he just shakes his head. Dario steps in front of me and says some shit to him, but I can’t fucking hear because it”s so damn loud.
Letting Dario handle it, I stand there and watch Jade go toe to toe with Braxton. If he lays a hand on her, I will filet him like a fucking fish. Some asshole is yelling at Jade and I turn to see who it is. Trying to keep an eye on one fucker, I barely blink before Dario is in the ring, knocking Braxton out and squaring up to go head to head with Jade. Clipboard prick gets in the ring, trying to pull the unconscious kid out. Fuck. We will definitely bedealing with the repercussions of that later. Good thing old man Cyprus is dead, otherwise, he would ship us home in pieces. My eyes are glued to Jade as they spar for a bit before he throws her over his shoulder and hauls ass out of the cage. Following closely behind him, I see some prick slap Jade on the ass, and all I see is fucking red.
Walking up to the prick, I punch him in the face grabbing him by his scruff before he can pick himself off the ground, and drag his ass out the exit door, head first. He stumbles onto the pavement and I kick him in the gut. He groans when I grab the hand he touched my girl with, and snap a pinky.
“Who gave you permission to touch what is mine?” I spit, snapping the next finger. He begins to scream, ”Ahhh, sing for me you little bitch. Your screams are like a magical fucking melody to my ears.” I begin to hum a tune as I start to bend back his middle finger. As I’m snapping fingers, the smell of weed hits my nostrils and I turn to see the dark-haired kid leaning against the building, smoking a joint. He nods, seeming unphased as I snap this fucker”s thumb. Thinking about how I can cut his hand from his wrist, I look over at the kid and think what the hell? Let”s see how this plays out.
“Hey, do you have a saw by any chance?” He smirks and nods towards the back of the building. Grabbing the little dick by the back of his shirt, I drag him kicking and screaming while I follow the mute around the back of the building and down the concrete stairs, hitting every bump along the way.
Entering the room, I”m a bit thrown off seeing that it’s almost set up like mine. This is a little eerie. I look at the mute with a raised brow and he just shrugs his shoulders, nodding toward the table with straps. Hauling my fun little quickieover my shoulder, I spin around, making sure to hit his head in the doorway to knock him out. Throwing him down, I work with ease strapping the cocksucker to the table. The mute stands back and just watches, fiddling with some tools, never taking his eyes off me.
After securing my victim, I walk over to the boy and put my hand out, “I’m The Carver, it’s nice to meet you,” I say, giving him a big smile. He shakes my hand and nods while mumbling, “Axel.”
He releases my hand quickly only to replace it with a bone saw. Well shit, he’s done this before. “Mind if I throw on a little something?” I ask, taking my phone out. He just looks at me and tilts his head. I’ll just take that as a yes then. I press play and ‘Moves like Jagger’ by Maroon 5 Christina Aguliera start to flow through the speakers. I dance around the table, shaking my hips to the beat as I take a hold of the fucker”s wrist, and turn the electric bone saw on. I hear Axel laugh over the noise and I glance up at him. He has a bright smile on his face. He must enjoy watching a good dismemberment. If only I had time to do it fully.
“Want to slit his throat as I remove his hand?” I yell over the music. He nods his head excitedly. We work together silently as I saw into the flesh. Just as I glide the saw straight through his wrist bone, Axel takes a scalpel and slides it clean across his throat in one swift movement. We stop for a split second when the fucker wakes up, thrashing and trying to scream. To be honest, it was fucking beautiful the way he glided that blade across. The vibrating of his bones reaches deep within my soul as blood pours from both wounds and we look at one another, smiling. Taking the removed hand, I dance around the room, feeling free and enjoying the euphoria of cutting into flesh down here with this boy.
“I got moves like Jagger. Care to dance?” I ask as I spin around him, caressing his arm with the dead hand. He shakes his head no, but I see him bopping to the beat. I look at my watch and notice I’ve been away from her for too long.
“Will you clean this up for me? I have to get back to my girl. I’ll pay you for the cleanup.” He shakes his head no and grabs another tool, getting to work. I like this kid. The song ends and I place my phone back in my pocket.
“It was wonderful to have met you. If you ever need anything, find me.” I wink and head up the stairs.
Rounding the corner, I toss the hand in the air and catch it. Reaching the same door I left out of, I open it and go in search of Dario and my Blood Queen.
Her ass will be bloody red by the time I’m done with her. That’s if Dario hasn’t already started without me.
