My Wicked Dragon

Chapter 4- Evil Walking

When the announcement came that Laney would be on next, David felt a thrill of excitement and anticipation. She had been difficult to track down until recently. Her talent had betrayed her; a fan posted a video of one of her performances on social media giving him her exact location. He would finally have her.

After her escape, he had set plans in motion for when he would eventually recapture her. It took him months to locate a cave on their family's massive estate that would suit his sinister purposes. After doing some more excavating, he had taken great joy in outfitting it for the future pleasures he would be taking there.

The back wall was outfitted with manacles for both hands and feet. A crude wooden table had been built to hold various implements that he could hardly wait to use on her. Some of those items you could find in a s*x shop and were made for pleasure, other purchases he made were meant to cause pain. He smiled evilly to himself as he thought of those “tools”. The manufacturer probably didn’t expect them to be used to cause as much pain as he had intended. He had even gone so far as to build some standard dungeon furniture for use when he got bored with just having her chained to the wall.

The location, remoteness, and size of the cave were imperative to his plan. He decided he would tell his brothers after he caught her that she had escaped again once he had her secured in his little hideaway. He would leave her there for a few days, chained in anticipation and then tell them he needed a break and was going to go on vacation. He would then be free to disappear for awhile, giving him as much time as he wanted to torture her at his leisure. To keep his brothers from being suspicious, he had already started a pattern of disappearing on “vacations” once his cave was ready. They didn’t trust him like they did before the incident with Laney. He wasn’t able to lie to their satisfaction about why she had assaulted him and then disappeared.

He wanted to test everything out in preparation for his “honored guests” arrival. Three times now he had succesfully snatched a female runaway from the streets and brought them back to the cave for his depraved acts. Once he had even taken a teenage boy just to see what that would be like. That one he particularly enjoyed letting his depravities run wild before mutilating him, followed by slitting his throat.

Each one of his victims had lasted about a week or so before they expired. He found he truly enjoyed indulging his depraved acts and torturing them. The power he felt when his victims were helpless to stop him from doing whatever he wanted was very addictive.

He smiled to himself as he reflected back on all the fun he’d had with them before disposing of their broken bodies a few miles further into the mountains. It was grizzly territory so he never worried the bodies would be found. They’d always been gone by the time he dumped the next body.

His smile quickly faded as the curtains suddenly opened, taking him out of his musings. A Lyra hung quietly from the rafters. There was no sign of Laney.

“f**k!” He cursed as he rushed towards the back of the stage. She must have spotted him from the crowd.

He walked past the dressing rooms, looking for Laney’s. As he passed Kate’s she called out to him.

“Are you looking for Laney?”

David stopped dead in his tracks and turned to address her.

“Yes. I’m her brother and wanted to surprise her with a visit today. Do you know where she went?”

“Brother? She never told me she had any brothers. Huh!” She sat there looking at him a moment. “She left here just about five minutes ago with one of our newest regulars, Cody. They seemed to really be in a hurry. I hope everything is OK?”

David felt his temper rising. He missed her yet again. Now he would have to settle for torturing someone else for awhile. An idea suddenly came to him.

“You good friends with Laney?”

Kate smiled and began gushing on about how close they had become over the past few months. She didn’t notice at first when he reached back and started quietly shutting the door. The quiet click of the door stopped Kate mid sentence. The smile he gave her sent chills down her spine. She nervously swallowed and licked her lips.

“Ummm…what…ahhh…are you doing?”

He advanced quickly on her, grabbing her by the throat before she got a chance to scream for help. He stared down into her terrified eyes and smirked.

“You and I are going to have so much fun together. Then you will help me find Laney.”

She shook her head in protest and kicked at him as he lifted her by her throat from the chair. Moments later, her world went black as his fist connected with the side of her head. Draping her unconscious form over his shoulder, he whistled happily as he carried his new prize out the back door into the alley.
