Kriss was barely conscious when Aaron came back. She was drifting on a pain-filled ocean, trying to remain upright on her feet, whose heels were now flat on the ground. What little light used to be in the poorly lit room had nearly completely disappeared. As Aaron positioned himself in front of her, her pain-blurry eyes blinked open as she tried to make sense of what was happening.<br/><br/>Forgetting that her jaws were dislocated, she tried to speak, to beg for some water to moisten her parched mouth. However, the sounds that croaked out of her raw throat could hardly be recognised as human. When Aaron raked his knife against the ultra-taut skin of her grotesquely deformed breasts, her voice turned to miserable, raucous moans similar to the creaking of a bad-oiled, rusty hinge while distress caused the wrecked girl to roll her eyes and feebly shake her head.<br/><br/>And then, as he cut the rope and kicked her, she crashed hard on her back, her skull banging hard against the floor. Her lower jaw hit her upper one before falling again slightly sideways. Stars exploded in her head and she would have been quite unable to do anything, even if her former ally had not been pinning her yoke down.<br/><br/>Kriss thought she had already been subjected to the vilest atrocities on Earth but what followed was even worse. She made desperate, plaintive sounds as he reached into her mouth with his knife. She vainly tried to close her mouth, only causing herself more agony while her jaw trembled spastically. Sharp pain followed along with the hot taste of blood flooding her mouth and then she saw him brandishing the two halves of her tongue in front of her.<br/><br/>In her horror, she managed to bridge her body up, resting on her heels and shoulders only, while blood spurted from her wounded mouth. And then the ultimate atrocity happened as he shoved one of the pieces of her own flesh down her gaping mouth. She tried to spit it out but without her tongue and with her jaw broken, it was totally useless. The bloody bit only moved deeper, threatening to choke her. With desperate gagging movement, she managed to gulp the half tongue down her oesophagus. She hardly had the time to recover her breath before Aaron forced her to swallow the second half.<br/><br/>Kriss was shocked and fighting the urge to vomit. The idea that she had just swallowed her own tongue was disgusting even to her battered mind. She knew however that vomiting would do no good in her position and did her best efforts to prevent it.
