Cannibalistic (Book Two of A Bloodline's Saga)

Why Aren't I Dead Yet?

f*****g endless slaughter

Every knee shall bow

Tearing away the false face of your maker

Falling for the stories of untruthful masterpieces

Fuck your maker

Decimator

Still wide awake and wired from my encounter with Liam even after watching the sun rise, I'm still appalled, no disgusted at my actions when I tried hinting at him I wanted him to f**k me like he did on my birthday.

I didn't expect it to come out at all though I am proud of myself for thinking up something so quick, yet mentioning that day now brings vomit to my mouth instead of filling my heart with joy.

Like I know I said it to prove to him I really wanted things to go back to the way they were before all of this bullshit, yet something in him stated he'd rather it be the way it is but also something else counteracted with that emotion and that's some of the reason why I'm also tossing and turning.

Legit I have less than I week to get on Liam's good side and convince him to not only break me out but the others, but the thought on how the others that are still out there being hunted down right now springs up and wonder if they will make it back in time for their final escape, hopefully this one returning them to their parents and me to mine.

But the way he's acting by rejecting my niceness is starting to stress me out because I really don't have much f*****g time and I bet he knows that too. He's probably waiting until the last day to see that I'm really not using him and that I really do love him.

I mean we all know that I am and that's probably why it won't work, it will be too late and I'm sure there will be no way Shaun would sacrifice his life for mine or help Liam hide away from Max and Nate with me by his side, there is no f*****g way considering not only is Shaun too wrapped up in finding his parent's killers but the weird cunt values his dark and depressing life too much.

Calming myself down when I remind myself that it's a new day and Liam has had time to think about what happened last night, well that's if he even did at all, the house has been oddly silent and wonder what everyone is up to because not even Shaun has come to visit me since I woke up.

Not knowing if leaving my room without being summoned will result in a beating or not, I conjure up a million excuses for me being out here along the way and discover both Shaun and Liam are actually gone.

So deeming this as the perfect opportunity to tell the girls what happened between Liam and I, I rush to their room and am greeted by the faces of not only Storm, Hanna and Tabitha, but now Lydia, Raya and Nakita starring back at me with wide and gawking eyes.

After seconds of taking in my appearance their scared expressions turn to teary ones when they flock over to me all at once and hug the s**t out of me, Storm, Hanna and Tabitha hanging in the back while I share the relieving moment of Raya, Lydia and Nakita's return.

It sucks they have been brought back and punished for it which I'm also surprised I didn't hear, but it also means that they will definitely be with us when we escape for the last time and actually get them to their parents, no more kidnappings and no more interruptions. I'm taking these f*****g people back home even if I die in the process.

"How did they find you?" are the first words to spill from my quivering lips to contain my sobbing.

"We were all in the process of heading to our closest family members considering we knew we couldn't risk being on the streets long, some of us actually got a hold of our parents and told them that Liam had been texting for us this whole time, assuring our parents that everything was okay when in reality we were and still continue to be locked away." Lydia starts off once we're settled and able to compose our tears a little better. 

"But we aren't the only ones they brought back, they also managed to get their hands on Alex and Lee yet Viktor, Timothy and Lucian are still out there as far as I know since I didn't see them come back with us either." Raya explains whilst Nakita and Lydia nod their heads in agreement to what Raya's saying, my head itself slowly nodding as it soaks in all of the information it has just been given.

Before I can open my mouth for the first time since entering the room, I pick up cars coming down the driveway and wonder if it's just Shaun and Liam or if it's Max here coming to take me.

Hoping it also isn't Liam in one car bringing back a bunch of unconscious people while Shaun's in the other doing the same thing, I dread that Viktor, Timothy and Lucian may be amongst them.

With the girls understanding my sudden leave, I manage to hide myself behind the wall that's not only closest to my room, but also it allows me a little sneak peak at the front door to witness exactly who it is coming in.

I really hope the girls have informed the ones who have just been brought back about my plans in seducing Liam, my thoughts heading straight over to the guys and wondering if they have done the same for Alex and Lee.

Ugh Alex, the last time I saw Alex he wanted to punch me in the face. Who knows if he has changed or if he still wants to hurt me, either way I will find out when I visit them next.

Liam's masked men are the first to make an appearance with unfamiliar and unconscious people being lugged in behind them, the conversation about a girl named Adaline and how she's the daughter to Oliver and Samara sounding around the semi-muggy air as they make their way into the house.

A girl who also happens to be the last name on Shaun's list before they called it quits for a bit while the Police and Stella's men got off their trail.

When will all of this s**t stop? Will I ever get to meet this Stella or is she going to be a name I hear right up until I meet my death at the hands of Max.

Thanking Shaun for letting that bit of information slip on Adaline in front of me regardless if he knew I was here or not, I listen in for a bit longer and discover the men are heading towards my direction to lead the unknown new female hostages to the room where Raya and the others are currently being held.

With Adaline going in along with them, I also find a few new males as well but not the faces of the three I was expecting.

Relived yet stressed at the fact that Max and his son Nate will becoming any day now not only for me but also them, I'm quickly pulled out of my thoughts when Liam comes bursting in a little surprised considering he half-expected me to be asleep, yet I'm not and here I am staring back at Liam who seems to be more mellow than your average stoner.

Though his eyes aren't red or dopey looking from the effects of m*******a, they are still filled with disgust but the hostility is watered down with some of that mellow appearance he seems to be carrying around at the moment.

Half-smiling up at him regardless of what happened only last night and waiting for him to start talking, his emerald eyes only seem to take me in a little more before he's eventually able to open his mouth after a small yawn.

Okay so he's probably sober for the first time in ages and sleep is finally catching up on him, maybe he'll be a little chilled on the beatings considering he appears like he wants to collapse where he stands.

"Shaun wants you to start breakfast up while he and I finish getting the rest of the hostages in the house. My men have more important work to do and I'm sure Shaun and I can handle the rest while they track down the other three that are still missing. Meaning the stress of having to abandon the search for Shaun's parents killers and the children for Nate's friends wanting revenge on them and their parent's actions, is now resolved. We have enough people to back us up so we are able to waste time searching for the remaining three as well as be praised for going over the limit. Also meaning I will be able to have that fine dining I've been craving since hitting the road with Shaun." Liam explains while pulling out a cigarette and for a first time ever offering one to me which I oddly take without hesitation.

Not knowing if he's starting to slowly open up to the idea of me being more than just his thing to beat the s**t out of, but it's starting to bring new hope to my escape plan and can see Max and his son once again becoming a problem of the far future. Our first problem is getting Liam to trust me enough to get us and my newly made friends out of here, the second is making sure the Police track down Max, Nate and the children of those wanting revenge on us for our parents actions before it happens all over again.

Then the third is making sure we're all safe so I'm able to tell the Police of Liam and his involvement with all of this, and I mean f*****g everything.

"Alright I shall get started right away, did you want anything in particular?" I reach out hesitantly and once again surprising me when I'm met not with violence but with words.

"Just whatever you plan on making." then after that he's gone leaving me wondering if I'm now being played. 

Walking out into the kitchen and deciding to make bacon and eggs, I start grabbing out the things I will need until the front door sounds like it is being kicked in and the house is suddenly swarming with masked men, though their masks are different and something in Liam's voice when he's shouting for Shaun confirms they aren't his either.

"LIAM!" I scream when two of the men corner me in the kitchen on the attempt in leaving to hide, both Shaun and Liam making it to the kitchen just in time for the tallest and biggest man out of the two to grab me, both launching at the bulky men in hopes of saving me but to no avail.

Leaping over the kitchen bench and into the dining room to make my escape for the front door, I'm tackled to the ground seconds later and instantly my hands are bound behind my back with a gag and blindfold following seconds after.

"IDA!' Liam screams though his voice sounds a bit far away now and realise that I'm outside due to the sudden change of temperature in the air.

With no words still being spoken even when the sound of a van door opens up and I'm shoved in, my feet tripping over one another and landing almost face first if it wasn't for a pair of sturdy hands saving me, the door slides quickly shut behind me and the idling engine is now roaring into gear.

Screeching out of the driveway and down the road, I ponder on who exactly these people are and how long I will be blind for.

Listening with strained ears for any means of conversation or leads to where I'm being taken to, I only pick up a few coughs here and there as well as wonder why the others weren't taken with me.

Pondering the possibilities of them being in another van behind me, I only have a sick sense of doubt considering I would have also heard them screaming too.

With my thoughts occupying me all the way until feeing the van finally stop, my heart skips a beat before having adrenaline kick start it again when a door opens followed by the sliding one I'm behind, seconds later. 

Hard hands find their way on me and help me out of the van, my body expecting hostile manhandling yet I'm only met with nothing other than escorting and supporting ones.

"Stay here." a deep voice commands after my Docs finish crunching up a gravel sounding driveway and onto something hard and smooth, tile by the way my shoes slip a little underneath with each step I take.

Waiting in darkness for a few seconds the blind fold is eventually undone along with the gag which I regret due to the pain starting up in my jaw when I attempt to close my mouth, my eyes taking in the small living room with of course white tiled floors, soft grey walls and mixtures of the two colours in the furniture and decoration department.

Looking past the masked man and discovering a male and female around my age maybe a little older beaming weirdly at me with their arms wrapped around each other as if waiting for someone dear to them to come home, it still doesn't help my situation as to why I'm a little confused and what the f**k I'm doing here and who these people are.

Wishing Shaun or Liam were here right now to tell me who they are and why exactly I'm here, the male is first to step forward with shining cognac eyes the more he takes my appearance in.

His hair's a nut brown and cut short on the sides and back, the front longer and spiked up into a quiff almost and porcelain skin to bring out his cognac eyes more.

I'm not going to deny that he's handsome yet the girl slowly approaching his side suits his appearance considering she's drop dead gorgeous, her equally pale skin more flawless than mine considering I still get the odd pimple here and there, and long dead straight raven hair currently tied back into a casual ponytail.

With both of their outfits as laid back as the girl's hairstyle, I'm still left wondering who the f**k they are and they seem to be looking at me like I should have figured out what's going on right now.

"Seeing as how Shaun lied to you and you are confused as to who we are and where you are, I thought I would introduce myself first and let my father explain what Shaun was told to do with you and why we had to grab you the way we did." the guy starts off as alarm bells roar in my head at the mentioning of the word "father" and instantly I'm thinking this might be the infamous Nate.

Also what the f**k does he mean by Shaun lying to me, what would Shaun be hiding from me that is so grave it lead to me being abducted by Nate's men?

The look on my face however causes a grin to form on his face when he too realises that I may have just clicked on to where I am and who they are. All that is left now is to wonder exactly what Shaun did to Nate that caused our house to be raided.

"There we go now you are getting it, so as you know my name is Nate and this is my wife Miranda. I bet you're wondering where my father Max is, well he won't be joining us for a little while yet. But you'll be happy to know that your body will serve as the main course tonight in our dinner, though my father has requested to see you before you are killed and prepped." he explains while I for some reason, try to find a masked man that will hopefully be my new saviour, only I highly doubt that very f*****g much considering miracles are hard to come by these days.

"Ian! Come and take her to the room we have prepared for her until my father gets here, I at least want to make her last hours as comfortable as possible because we all know the meat is s**t when it's under too much stress." Nate chuckles sinisterly then watches as the summoned masked man comes up from behind me to wrap a hand around my wrist closest to him, my body tensing up a little but do as I'm told to help fight back the tears stinging the back of my eyes.

I knew I was going to die but I didn't expect it to be this soon, but then again if Shaun hadn't of done whatever he did, then I might have had a couple of days left in me instead of dying today.

"I'm sure they will be kind enough to make it a quick death if you give up the location of your parents," Ian suggests when he mans the entrance to my door after opening it for me to go in.

"As much as I would love that, not even I know where they are." I choke out as fresh tears persist to sting at my eyes, the guy sighing whilst his hands twitch at his sides.

"Well it was worth a shot." Is all he says and leaves me with my countdown until death, the tears finally falling when the realisation of me dying sets in and I certainly don't have long to go at all.

Where the f**k has Stella gone, is she even going to come? You saved my parents before so why the f**k can't you f*****g save me!
