Chapter 6: Scum of the Earth

*Mari's POV*

The drunk old man's ankles and wrists are wrapped in chains. His arms and legs are spread wide while he lays there on a wooden platform. My bloods boiling, I can't stand even looking at him. Knocking him out was such a pain, it was easier the other times. I look at the small table, what's on it is a gallery of knives. I then look back at the old man thinking about what I'm going to do to him. I noticed his eyes slowly opening and he tries to speak. "Where...where the hell am I?" His voice sounds dry and weak. He probably doesn't remember who I am, but I ask anyway "Do you know who I am?" He had a confused look on his face and I say to him "Come on~ I know somewhere in that brain of yours you remember".

I continue talking to him in a cold heartless manner. "What you did to my Kirami was despicable. Didn't your parents ever teach you to keep your hands to yourself" I laugh at how pathetic he looks, with his fearful eyes, his whimpers. "You're just the scum of the earth, and I need to get rid of people like you". I look into his eyes. He then screams, calls me names, and cries, but I won't let him go, I won't set him free.

I walk towards the table that had all of the knives that I'll use. Small ones, old ones, big ones, you name it. I carefully pick one while the old man cries out "Please! I'm sorry for whatever I did, just let me go. I have a wife!" I pick up a hand saw and I smile. "You should've thought about your wife before". I walk back to the old man with the hand saw and I start taunting and degrading him, saying "What are you crying for? Real men shut their mouths and take their punishments! Or are you a little girl?" I place the hand saw on his left wrist first as I watch him cry with fear. "This is just the beginning of your torment. Let's get rid of these filthy hands so they don't touch another woman again".

His screams are music to my ears, his body is full of cuts, his blood is all over the dark floor. This is art, a masterpiece. But I don't want him to die just yet. I can hear his heart beating rapidly, it probably has a lot of blood pumped up inside. The old man coughs up blood, using his bit of strength to move his now bloody handless arms but he doesn't succeed. I would want to make love to him so his heart would be more juicy, but I'm too hungry. I get my sharp claws ready as I tell him what I tell all my victims:

"Don't bother with your last words, no one will remember you anyway. I want you out of my sight!"

I then rip out his heart and he stops moving. That's another man down. If I keep this up, if I keep protecting Kirami from the truth, she'll never know what I am and what I really want from her.
