				The first breath of spring was in the air and with it came the first substantial flicker of sunlight which began to filter through the dappled canopy of the closely knit tree lined square. The town seemed, at last, to be awakening from its winter slumber, but not all the townspeople had spent the winter in near dormancy; this sleepy haven bore a dark secret… the fates had seen it to bring two women together by pure chance. <br><br>It had been a chance shared comment on an internet forum which led to idea an exchange of ideas and to their first… and memorable meeting as they came to realise just how both shared the same dark fantasies and an even deeper need to indulge in them.<br><br>The cold winter months had seen slim pickings, but enough to see through their needs until the travellers and businessfolk once more came through this non descript town…this was only ever a place people passed through, there was nothing that marked it out from any other small town in this part of the world.<br><br>Shadow stepped out into the weak sunlight; her head lolled back, her shoulder length black hair fell across her neck, as she drank in the warmth of the sun for a moment as it caressed her pale skin, with a soft sigh she looked across to the table where Thorn was seated, she gave her a smile as she walked across, placing two coffee’s on the table before taking her seat.&nbsp; Thorn looked up from her laptop and returned her grin.<br><br>Shadow shook her head softly as she sat.&nbsp; “That bitch Valerie tried to short change me again... can you believe it!&nbsp; Seriously, one of these days Thorn…” she sighed and sank a little into her chair.&nbsp; <br><br>They sat on the terrace of a roadside café, To the gaze of any onlooker their presence was unremarkable, just two women taking in the gentle spring sun and sipping at a coffee whilst watching the sedate pace of life around them. They watched them from behind a mask of normality. At times despising those around them for the shadow of an existence they led and yet acutely aware that they, at least outwardly, had to portray the very characteristics that sat so uncomfortably with them. <br><br>Shadow turned and spoke, a gentle voice that gave no voice to the hunger within “Let the fates decide, I shall close my eyes and whom so ever they fall upon when they open shall be the one we set our sights upon…” She grinned and closed her eyes as she turned a little in her seat to face the town square.<br>

				<em>S&amp;M/Bondage<br><br>My partner and I are looking for those who would like to participate in extreme S &amp; M and bondage.&nbsp; We are two females who have a very loving relationship but we practice discreteness in all of our endeavors and will expect the same from you.&nbsp; Males and females are both welcome to respond, and no experience in the S &amp; M world is needed; we love to introduce others into the pleasures of pain.&nbsp; We do have pictures available upon request.<br><br>Please, only serious responses.</em> <br><br>Thorn clicked <em>post</em> then gently pushed her laptop away to make room for her coffee.&nbsp; Crossing her legs she shrugged in reply to Shadow, “Valerie is just an old crotchety woman; don’t let her get to you, my love.&nbsp; One day we’ll take care of her…perhaps using something with splinters.”&nbsp; With a smirk she took a sip of her coffee then placed the cup gently back down on the table.<br><br>The warm sun reflected off of her long, brown hair causing the highlights of red and gold to sparkle as her olive green eyes scanned the town square.&nbsp; This was all part of their game…finding a victim, and the café was the perfect place to do so, even if they did need to listen to Valerie and her elitist comments and gossip.&nbsp; With a playful smile, Thorn looked over to Shadow and said quietly, “Choose well…as you always do.”

				Dustin had arrived the night before, the latest stop in his journey. He had no real direction of where he was headed - he just went where his feet took him. He had hitched a ride with a trucker for the first time a few days ago, and had traveled countless miles with the man whose call-signal was "Red Rooster". That had been an interesting story, and he had spent much of the morning translating his hand-written notes onto his laptop. Dustin wasn't even sure he knew what sort of story he was looking for, either. He had grown up a lot in the 6 months since had embarked on his journey, had well over 100 pages of random stories, and had been far colder this winter then any he could recall. The fresh smell of spring was very refreshing.<br><br>He looked up from where he was sitting at a picnic table. The town, he had been told, didn't have much to it and was more of a 'passing through' type of town then a 'take a visit' type town. But one thing he had learned was that no matter where you were, there was always some sort of story to dig up. Whether it was 'Who Killed the Farmers Chicken [Central PA]' or 'What is the Sun-Star Cult [Idaho]', there was always something interesting to find in a small town. Who knows, maybe they had some local legends or a haunted house?<br><br>The hotel he was staying at could hardly be called that. It resembled a persons home more then a hotel, but wasn't as bad as sleeping in a barn. At least it didn't smell like pigs. For a price, lodging could always be found. He had washed dishes, cleaned out stalls, helped build a barn, and even made dinner one night just to earn a place to sleep.<br><br>His body had changed too. He had been packing a few extra pounds from his college days, but 6 months of travel, hard labor, and missed meals had gotten rid of those extra pounds of fat, replacing them with a more toned layer of muscle. No one could accuse him of being soft anymore, or never having worked hard. He didn't look like a farm boy or a body builder, or an athlete. Just a healthy, young man. His dark hair had grown longer then it had ever been, ear length now, and his hazel eyes looked more aged then before. His hands had developed callouses from hoeing a field - his previous 'job' - and that was a far cry from the blisters that had bled the first time he had really put his back into work 6 months earlier.<br><br>His laptop was picking up a wireless signal from somewhere - perhaps this town wasn't as backwards as it appeared - and he googled the place. Nothing to note after a few minutes of browsing, but he did find a posting made this morning at an Alternative Lifestyle website. 'Alternative' - the word made him laugh - really mean S&amp;M and bondage, the type of things associated with 'Goth' Kids and things that weren't the social norm. To be honest, he found it to be fascinating, though had had little time to explore it before. It was one thing handcuffing a girl friend to the bed before having your way with her, it was an entirely different thing to inflict pain and completely subjugate some one. <br><br>He paused for a few minutes after reading the post. Hell, it was the only thing exciting going around in this place. His fingers twitched, hovering over his keyboard. What the hell, no point passing up on such an oppurtunity to explore something like that. Not to mention two chicks? That was never a bad thing.<br><br><em><br>RE: S&amp;M/Bondage<br><br>I noticed your posting and thought I would respond. You can call me Stine, pronounced Stein (despite no German Heritage). I am completely new to the S&amp;M lifestyle but find that I am greatly intrigued by it. By nature, I am a writer - an investigative journalist if you will - and have been traveling the country in search of unique stories and people. I would be a willing 'watcher' in the hopes of being allowed to document the lifestyle and allow for it to be an introduction for me into the lifestyle, with the goal of becoming active in it. Thank you for your time.<br><br>Stine.<br></em><br><br>He hit [SEND] three seconds later and sat back, almost toppling over backwards as he momentarily forgot where he was sitting.

				With her eyes closed Shadow could feel the soft breeze feather over her cheek and the delicate heat of the sunlight play across her face as the bustle of the town square assailed her senses.&nbsp; The breeze carried with it a multitude of scents and sounds and each gentle turn of her head would heighten one or the other…for a few moments more she drank of the world around her before she caught the subtle scent of a cologne… one unfamiliar to her, something about it made her skin prickle. In an instant her eyes were open, and her piercing blue gaze directed straight ahead of her as a slow smile slowly worked its way across her lips…<br><br>They had centred immediately on a young man, the breeze ruffled through his brown hair and she watched and silently mused as he walked through the town square, he appeared physically toned from what she could see, something that had always been an advantage… before.&nbsp; He was carrying some papers under his arm and with a smile she watched as crossed the square with a purposeful stride… <br><br>Thorn’s words still softly echoed in her mind <em> “Choose well…as you always do.”</em>,&nbsp; She smiled and slowly turned to see Thorn’s eyes on her and a smile on her face… Shadow had that look, that look she always seemed to have when someone had peaked her interest… someone she felt had potential… a look that Thorn recognised.<br><br>“What do you think darling?&nbsp; He’s crossing the square with an armful of papers now.” She nodded her head in his direction…&nbsp; &nbsp;“I think there is great potential with this one…” she could barely contain the broad grin.<br>

				Thorn took another sip of her coffee before turning her attention away from Shadow and following her gaze to the young man.&nbsp; He was deliciously fit and probably just barely an adult.&nbsp; "Looks like he would give us a nice fight," she said with a small nod of approval.&nbsp; After watching him for a few more moments the sound of a new email arriving took her attention away.&nbsp; "What a lucky day for us Shadow, we have an email," she said in delight, her normally cool demeanor was broken by the sudden windfall of opportunities.<br><br>"Interesting.&nbsp; Shadow, seems some writer is interested in watching us play," Thorn commented as she contemplated how she would respond.&nbsp; The thought of someone watching them was quite intriguing, but it would be doubtful that they would ever trust anyone to do so.&nbsp; She knew Shadow would be having the same exact thought so she decided to think out loud, "We could force him to watch for awhile, then make him participate and if he seemed willing..."&nbsp; A glance back up searching for the young man revealed that he was still running in and out of businesses, leading Thorn to believe that those were applications he was holding.&nbsp; "Fresh out of high school?" she asked absently, uncrossing her legs and leaning forward to begin typing her response to the email.<br><br><em>Hello Stine,<br><br>Thank you for responding to our ad.&nbsp; We have a few questions to ask you before going any further.&nbsp; What exactly intrigues you about the S&amp;M lifestyle?&nbsp; Have you ever experienced pleasure from pain?&nbsp; How are you around blood, as many times S&amp;M activities will produce some.&nbsp; How old are you if I may ask?&nbsp; To be fair, I (Thorn) am 33 and Shadow is 23.<br><br>We look forward to your response.<br><br>Thorn and Shadow</em>

				The young man crossed through the alley and handed a bundle of papers to Valerie, his careful eye contact and enthusiastic tone clearly indicating the nature of his errand.&nbsp; He shook Valerie's hand as he turned away from the coffee shop, nervously humming a popular pop song as he headed on his way out.&nbsp; He felt himself to be very mature, very adult, he would be getting a job for the summer and then he would be off to college, then... something.&nbsp; He didn't really worry all that much about it as he looked through the rest of his applications, his pulse starting to race as he considered the possibility of unemployment.

				A wry grin crossed Shadow’s face as Thorn told her of the email, it was an idea that she found intriguing, but the risk involved was great.&nbsp; She was about to express her thoughts when Thorn spoke them aloud for her, she smiled… how many times had they caught themselves about to voice each others thoughts.&nbsp; &nbsp;“The power of the internet in bringing people together…” she said with a smile and idly tousled her hair as she turned a little…<br><br>She watched as he shook Valerie’s hand, Shadow shivered when she thought of how clammy and unwelcoming that must have been for him… she glanced to Thorn, her eyes expressing her intentions… The chair legs scraped across the cobbles as she rose to her feet and turned into his path.&nbsp; She smiled softly at his expression as his soft brown eyes met her piercing blue ones.<br><br>“All the best with that one.” Shadow winked.<br>

				Thorn gave a silent laugh at the handshake between the man and Valerie, knowing that as soon as he left the café she would be rubbing antibacterial gel into her hands.&nbsp; “Such a stuck up bitch she is,” she whispered quietly as her eyes locked momentarily with Shadow’s.&nbsp; No words needed to be spoken…they never did between them; Thorn stood up quietly and walked toward the café with her coffee cup in her hand.&nbsp; <br><br>As soon as Shadow stood up and spoke to him, Thorn rudely walked right into the man from his side, slyly spilling her coffee down the front of his shirt.&nbsp; “Oh my goodness…I am so very sorry,” she said as she frowned and quickly turned to the table to grab napkins, some of which she handed over to Shadow.&nbsp; Together they both began to try to clean him up.&nbsp; “I am such a klutz, Shadow,” Thorn said, faking embarrassment.

				Sam yelped in pain as the hot coffee spilled down his shirt, shrieking with dismay at his ruined job applications.&nbsp; He took a deep breath, trying to figure out what the adult thing to do in the situation was, his face quickly reddening as the two girls tried to towel him off.&nbsp; He just sat there at a loss for words, his fists half clenched with rage as he tried to gather together his emotions, pushing Thorn and Shadow's hands away as he leaned over to pick up his applications.&nbsp; "They're ruined" he noted gloomily, not looking at the pair of she devils accosting him.

				It wasn't long before he got an emailed response. He read over it twice, formulating a response in his mind first before his brain cells began to fire off, causing a reaction in his hands. His fingers began to type out his response.<br><br><br>Shadow &amp; Thorn<br><br>I find the power-play and the sense of helplessness to be intriguing, not to mention complete domination. I think it is truly remarkable that human beings are willing to submit completely to another person. I also find women who dress in latex and leather to be, well, rather kinky. As I said before, I have little personal experience in such things and don't think I would be able to tolerate too much pain before it became more pain then pleasure. As far as blood goes, I am fine around it. A little blood never hurt anyone! I, myself, am also 23 years old, almost a year out of college now - all that time spent traveling.<br><br>Stine<br><br>

				As Shadow engaged his attention she was aware of Thorn moving at her side, she smiled inwardly, knowing well what was to come next. <br><br>“Oh God… Thorn!” Shadow rolled her eyes in a display of mock horror as the steaming coffee splashed down his front.<br><br>Taking a napkin from her, she did her best at joining in trying to pat away the worst of the coffee, working her way lower until her hand brushed momentarily against his hip.&nbsp; She shook her head softly when it became apparent that their efforts seemed only to be making the stain worse.<br><br>“This is hopeless Thorn; that coffee is going to leave a terrible stain if we don’t get it out soon.&nbsp; We are so sorry… I feel so bad about this...” she glanced across to Thorn, she returned her focus to the young man…“Come back with us, we don’t live too far from here and we can get this sorted out...” she smiled softly.

				Thorn let out a loud sigh when it was apparent that their efforts to help were in vain. With a forced frown on her face she looked down at the papers in his hand. "Oh my...I am just so very sorry. I insist that you come back to our house; I'll write you a check...a generous one. I feel so horrible about your applications being ruined...would $5,000 be enough to cover your expenses for a month?" she asked then lightly touched his arm as she looked into his eyes. <br><br>A set look of determination took over her face and she nodded, "Again, I insist. You must allow me to make this up to you." She then turned back to the table, vaguely noticing a new email message had arrived before closing the lid of her laptop. After slipping it into her messenger bag, she pulled the strap onto her shoulder then turned back to the man and Shadow with a cordial smile. "Shall we go then?"

				Sam looked at the two women, very suspicious about what exactly they were up to.&nbsp; The coffee began to cool and his shirt quickly became plastered to his body, the cold liquid cooling his chest as the two predators circled him.&nbsp; Surely the girl's didn't think he was going to sue them?&nbsp; Still, $5,000 was a lot of money and he could always make sure to watch out if the girls were trying to draw him into some kind of cult or pyramid scheme.<br><br>Sam smiled and nodded, remembering that he was an adult now, and he didn't need to worry about going with strangers anymore.&nbsp; "It's really no problem, but I do need to get into a clean shirt, so if you've got something I can change into that would be really nice.&nbsp; I don't need you to give me money, it's perfectly fine, just give me a new shirt, and maybe a shower, and we'll be even."&nbsp; He smiled, waiting to see where the women led him.

				Shadow saw a thin flicker of doubt cross his face, for a moment he looked hesitant as though he was about to backtrack from the idea, but then a slim smile crossed her face as he nodded his agreement…“Excellent, we had better make a move before the sun dries that stain in anymore.”&nbsp; Shadow smiled and drunk back the last of her coffee… it was cold and bitter, much like the owner of the establishment.<br><br>A Taxi idled across the square, the driver leaning against the side of the car and watching the bustle of the square. Shadow stepped to the edge of the pavement and caught his eye; with a quick nod he bought his car around to the kerb outside the café.&nbsp; Shadow opened the door and watched as first Thorn entered, exchanging a soft smile with her and then the young man… Shadow followed quickly behind and they sandwiched him on the back seat…<br><br>The warming sun beat down on the car as it turn from the town and began to head towards the outskirts, the journey wasn’t a long one, but the growing heat of the day and the general state and smell of the cab made it somewhat unpleasant.&nbsp; Shadow turned to Thorn and rolled her eyes… “He should be paying us to come in here, or at least cover the medical expenses if one of us picks up dysentery.” She grinned.<br><br>With a jolt the cab came to a halt outside of the house… it was set a little way from the road and lay somewhat secluded with a wood towards the back… Once the driver had been paid they made their way up the driveway… Thorn opened the door which swung into the entrance hall; the focal point was a grand staircase that split in two at the higher level…<br><br>Shadow turned to him and motioned with her eyes up the stairs… “Bathroom is just up here…” she started towards the stairs and felt his presence behind her, she turned her head at the top of the stairs and caught a hidden look from Thorn..<br><br>“The bathrooms just here…” with a smile she opened the door and watched him pass, “feel free to take your time, you can just leave your clothes outside the door and we can get them washed…” Shadow was still smiling as the door closed behind him….<br>

				Sam felt somewhat nervous as the two ladies got next to him in the Taxi, and his eyes rolled slightly at their banter.&nbsp; These women certainly weren't normal, but the world was filled with all kinds of different people and that was something he would have to learn to appreciate.&nbsp; He headed into the house, and was fairly impressed, starting to realize why the women had offered him such a ridiculous sum of money.&nbsp; He smiled a bit as Shadow led him to the bathroom, whistling a bit as he headed into the marble tiled room, finding himself somewhat impressed.<br><br>Sam quickly got his wet shirt off, and peeled off his slacks, opening the door just a tiny bit to set his clothes outside, noticing a black silk robe he could wear after his shower was done.&nbsp; He felt up the soft material, rather interested in the robe despite it's dusty smell.&nbsp; He carefully engaged the lock on the door and set the shower to a warm temperature, enjoying the sensations the heat of the shower created on his body.&nbsp; He began humming the insipid pop song again, simply rinsing himself off and trying to make sense of the situation he found himself in.

				Thorn watched quietly as they ascended the stairs, waiting for them to reach the top before she would place her laptop down on the coffee table and walk over to the bar to pour a drink.&nbsp; After taking a small sip, she walked back over and removed her laptop from its bag, placing it back on the table then putting the bag in its place in the closet.&nbsp; Thorn was very particular about her home and there was a place for everything; one could come in with a white glove and never find a speck of dust anywhere.&nbsp; <br><br>It was now time to reply to the email they received at the café.&nbsp; Taking another sip of her drink while the computer booted up, she mentally planned her response to Stine.&nbsp; He was quite intriguing and could either be a wonderful addition to their fun, or a new unwilling victim; either one of those options suited Thorn, although Shadow may feel differently.&nbsp; After placing her drink gently on a coaster, she took a relaxing deep breath and started typing:<br><br><em>Hello again Stine,<br><br>My partner and I think your idea is wonderful as we do so love voyeurs.&nbsp; Would you be available to meet us for drinks perhaps tonight or tomorrow night?&nbsp; I do assume you are local, if not then when would be a good time for you to arrive here?<br><br>Thorn and Shadow</em><br><br>Satisfied with the short email, Thorn clicked send just as Shadow walked down the steps with the man’s clothing.&nbsp; She watched as she silently walked straight to the kitchen and placed the clothes in a garbage bag.&nbsp; Thorn knew that next she would tie the bag tightly and place it downstairs until later tonight when they fired up the incinerator.&nbsp; <br><br>Once Shadow returned, Thorn stood and placed a gentle kiss on her lips before going to pour a drink for her.&nbsp; “Sit down, Shadow.&nbsp; We may be going out tonight for some drinks,” she said with a smile.

				The response to his last email took longer to arrive, and he had been lost in people watching before he noticed it had arrived. His eyes quickly scan it, the corners of his mouth turning upwards into a small grin. Most excellant!<br><br><em>Thorn &amp; Shadow<br><br>I would be delighted to meet you for drinks tonight. I am not a native, but recently arrived in town and have been at a loss for things to do. Stories are not always easily found, but I believe this one will be a memorable one.

				Thorn's face turned toward the laptop as another email notification arrive.&nbsp; "Oh my love, Stine is an eager beaver," she said with a giggle as she leaned forward once again to type:<br><br><em>Stine,<br><br>How quickly you answered!&nbsp; We will be at Sweeney's Saloon tonight at 7pm.&nbsp; I have attached our pictures so that you know who you are looking for.<br><br>Thorn and Shadow</em><br><br>She clicked send then turned her attention back to Shadow.&nbsp; "I have it all planned out for us, and we won't even need to drug Stine," was said in a whisper.

				Shadow savoured the soft gentle touch as their lips came together; a soft harmony existed between them… no one would have guessed at the dark depths that their souls plunged into.&nbsp; They parted and Shadow sat down with a smile as Thorn told her of the plans for the evening… as she spoke a wry smile slipped across her face… knowing full well from the sparkle in her eyes that there was much more than drinks that would be savoured…<br><br>“You are such a tease darling.” Shadow smiled and glanced towards the hallway… doubtful it would be long before their guest made an appearance from the shower.<br><br>With this in mind she slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out a small glass vial containing a Chloral hydrate, with practised ease she snapped the glass top from the vial and tipped the contents into a third glass… and watched as the clear fluid momentarily hung in the liquid before dissipating.<br><br>“That should aid him in getting a few hours rest… I feel he is going to need his strength...” Thorn’s smirk was matched by her own…<br>

				Sam rubbed body wash all over his body as he turned around in the steamy shower, taking a bit of water into his mouth and spitting it out.&nbsp; He turned the shower off and grabbed one of the large dry black towels, carefully drying himself off as he admired the brass accents in the bathroom, whistling to himself at his good fortune.&nbsp; Drawing up the robe from its hook, he wrapped it around himself and secured it around his waist, the fact briefly occurring to him that this was most likely what one of the women wore after a shower.&nbsp; After contemplating this, he suddenly started to realize that it was rather unusual for a pair of young women to be living together, especially in a house this fancy.&nbsp; Sam started to shiver from more than just the drying moisture on his body as he stepped out of the bathroom, smiling as he walked towards the eccentric pair.&nbsp; "How's it going on getting on getting my clothes washed?" He asked, his eyes finding themselves drawn for the first time to the women's bodies.

				This time the response was quicker, and included a picture of the pair. Cute, he thought, looking at both of them. Smiling, he wrote down the time and place on a piece of paper, closed his laptop and returned it to his room. The breast-pocket sized notebook would suffice tonight, he thought, as he undressed and showered. Ten minutes later, he pulled on some nice looking clothes that he would wear to the bar and made sure he was clean and shaven before stepping out. He'd explore the town some more before heading over to the bar at the appropriate time.

				At the sound of his voice Shadow lowered the glass from her lips and allowed a wry smile to cross them as she looked deeply at Thorn... her own eyes sparkling with the promise of this fresh experience... each one drawn into their clutches was so different, and between them, Thorn and Shadow savoured their pain <br><br>"Your clothes.... yes i wouldn't worry about them, they have been taken care of." she smiled, it looked genuine and in the most part it was, she had become well practised in potraying a soft sidr to the stark darkness that it covered.&nbsp; Shadow's eyes drew up and down the robe he had picked up from the bathroom, "Looks like a good fit...Here, why not take a seat.&nbsp; It will be some time before the machine has finished washing your clothes."&nbsp; His expression seemed a little more relaxed noe, though maybe a flicker of hesitation remained, but if it did he had chosen to ignore it... <br><br>Thorn picked up the third glass and with a sweet smile offered it to him... "We took the liberty..." she said with a smile..."and poured you a drink." She glaced across to Shadow as his fingers wrapped around the stem and brushed against hers for a moment... in that shared look between Thorn and Shadow so much was shared and plotted.<br><br>Shadow watched as the rim of the glass touched against his lips... they parted and a trickle of the liquid slipped down his throat.&nbsp; Shadow turned to Thorn and raised her glass... "Cheers darling"... Thorn smirked as their glasses chinked together.&nbsp; They turned to watch the young man as he sat, somewhat nervously eyeing them, but he raised the glass once more and drained more of the liquid from it... it wouldn't take long for the concontion to render him unconcious.&nbsp; Indeed, no sooner had Shadow drained the last from the glass than he had slumped into the seat, the glass falling from his hand and spilling what remained in it across the robe he was wearing... Shadow raised a brow "Looks like i am going to have to put the washer on after all."<br><br>Thorn walked towards the grand staircase, its sides were panelled in a rich dark oak, her fingers ran along the seam of one of these panels until her fingers found the point of pressure set within the join... The panel clicked inwards and the wall detached the mechanisms that held it in place and it slid easily to the side.&nbsp; The moment the door was triggered it switched on a series of lights that flickered on in turn and lighted the steps that led downwards... each light pushing the darkness deeper into the lair that lay below the building. Shadow started to move him from the chair, with Thorn quickly coming to assist her... with a wry grin Thorn spoke, "See hon, this is why we could do with a man about the place sometimes." <br><br>They paused as they reach the bottom of the stairs... Shadow glanced up to Thorn, her forehead beaded with sweat from the exertion of bringing him deep into the lair... The last of the lights had chased away the darkness... well the safe form of it, as the darkness within the two women leached through every pore when they were down here.&nbsp; The room was large and the walls of the basement made of thick heavy stone, the ceiling was heavily soundproofed, it looked greatly like a mortuary... were mortuary have taken pride of place in the depths of some twisted hell and all around lay some of the cruelest and most saditic impliments that had caught both their imagination and their eyes from their travels.<br><br>"So... table... or cradle..." asked Shadow as she caught her breath...<br><br>Thorn mused on this for a moment before answering.... "Table i think... You take his legs and lets get him up there."<br><br>The table was modifed sluice table... bought sometime back from a source out in Eastern Europe, it had the appearance of a normal mortuary table but with the addition of one of two improvements they had devised in order to make it fit for their purpose.&nbsp; &nbsp;One such addition was the heavy and secures leather straps that they used on occassion to secure a victim to the table... and with their evening showing some promising plans, this was one such occassion.<br><br>With some exertion they lifted him onto it and taking an end each they brought the straps over his body and secured them, the fastening locking his unconcious form tightly against the table<br><br>Shadow bought the back of her hand to her forehead, it was sprinkled with sweat "Think i will catch a quick shower myself before we go..." <br><br>Thorn nodded, "Yes we really should get ready, time is getting on."&nbsp; As they moved up the stairs and back into the house, Thorn paused and turned to Shadow... "Can you make sure the lights are turned off.&nbsp; If he does come too while we are out, the darkness will prevent him from seeing anything we might have in store ... and besides, the price of electricity is a real killer these days..."<br><br>As they both entered the main hall of the house, Shadow flicked the lights off and the door slid shut, sealing him in the darkness...<br>

				Sam's eyes opened in the darkness.&nbsp; He turned his head about, quickly realizing that he could not move, and that he was naked.&nbsp; He tried to remember what had happened and drew a blank, memories of a pair of women and a shower gradually coming to him.&nbsp; Wherever he was, it certainly smelled clean, and he could hear no other sound than the occasional scraping and stretching of the leather straps holding him down.&nbsp; His thoughts quickly turned to panic as he languished in the dark chamber, wondering if perhaps he had died and this was his resting place for all eternity.&nbsp; Realizing with embarrassment that he needed to relieve himself, a stream of urine erupted from his cock and flowed down the channels etched into the table.&nbsp; He found himself thankful that he wouldn't be waiting in a pool of his own urine, and his mind started to turn to a slow examination of what exactly he was waiting for.

				Peter spent&nbsp; most of the day wandering the town, seeing what it had to offer. There was a wide range of people, some passing through stopping for a restroom or lunch. Others, like the truck driver, hardly noticed as they passed through. Checking the local newspaper, there really wasn't anything to note apart from world events, so he found himself entering the bar a half hour earlier then expected. <br><br>A quick look around the place revealed that neither Thorn nor Shadow had arrived yet. Ordering a drink from an aging bar tender, he finds an empty booth in the corner. It was darker over there, but he would be apply to spy the two girls when they entered, with little chance of them sneaking up on him.<br><br>He found his heart quickening as he checked his watch. While he had met people like this before, it was usually for a new article, not something with sexual undertones or completely unknown to him. It was definitely a risk, doing this, with no friends in the neighborhood knowing where he was. He hoped it was worth the risk...

				Thorn waited for Shadow to finish getting ready as she composed a want ad to send off to the newspaper. <br><br><div align="center"> <em><strong>Help Wanted<br>Looking for someone to come to my home to clean and occasionally cook.&nbsp; <br>No experience necessary.&nbsp; <br>Please send an email to GreenThorn@mailme.com.</strong> </em> </div><br>Satisfied that it was short and to the point, she faxed it to the local newspaper just as Shadow walked down the steps.&nbsp; “Ready?”<br><br>The ride to the bar was done silently as most things were between the two women and upon their arrival Thorn paid the taxi driver then led them both into the bar.&nbsp; With only once glance between them they scanned the bar for Stine, quickly finding only one man who was sitting alone.&nbsp; “Must be him,” Shadow whispered and Thorn nodded in return.<br><br>As they approached the table, Stine stood up acknowledging that they were correct and politely waited for them both to grab a seat before returning to his own.&nbsp; After the ordered their drinks and made small talk, Thorn slightly leaned back and crossed her legs.&nbsp; “Before we leave there are a few things you must know about our activities.&nbsp; Right now as we speak there is a playmate at our house.&nbsp; When you see him, he will be bound and naked.&nbsp; This is all part of the game we play.&nbsp; He might cry, he might curse, he might urinate on himself…this is all part of his role.&nbsp; Our playmates like to fully immerse themselves in that role.&nbsp; He may even ask you to ‘save him’,” Thorn finished her drink and smiled over at Shadow who had not known how they were going to explain things to Stine.&nbsp; Shadow gave her a small smirk once she saw where Thorn was going with the conversation.<br><br>After studying Stine for a moment with a gentle smile on her face, she continued.&nbsp; “He does have what is known as a safe word.&nbsp; A safe word is a word that would not normally be used during an encounter, and if he says it we untie him and promptly quit whatever it is we are doing.&nbsp; So basically you will see pain, torture, and someone who will scream for us to stop, but you need to remember it is all part of this encounter.”&nbsp; She gently put her hand on Stine’s arm and moved her body slightly closer waiting for his response.&nbsp;

				He smiles at the two ladies once introductions were done. In any other situation, say picking up randomly at the bar, he'd be torn between the two but apparently these two stuck together. He nods his head as they talk, explaining what he would see at their home, and how things would work. In his own research, he had discovered as much himself, so most of this wasn't new to him. He wondered how much pain they planed to inflict on their...friend.<br><br>Once that was taken car of, their drinks emptier, he found Thorn touching him. It sent warm feelings through his arm. She was attractive, afterall. "That all makes sense and about covers it. I won't use anyone's real names in my writings of course." He pauses, looking at the two. "Shall we head back now? Don't want to leave him waiting too long do we."<br><br>They agreed and quickly made their way back outside, hailing a taxi and piling in. It soon took them back to their place.

				Sam's eyes flickered open as he heard the door to the torture chamber open, and he writhed in his bonds unintentionally trying to get a better look of the light spilling into the room from the top of the stair.&nbsp; In the dim light, he caught momentary glimpses of horrible implements of torture out of the corner of his eye, and terror filled the pit of his heart.&nbsp; When the lights turned on, he yelped and stared at Shadow, his entire body starting to quake as he realized the position he was in.&nbsp; "What the fuck is going on?!" he screamed, trying to somehow figure out if the girls were playing some kind of horrible prank on him, or maybe he was on one of those hidden camera shows.&nbsp; <em>Or a snuff movie</em> he considered, as tears began to fill his eyes.&nbsp; He began to scream as Shadow talked about the safe word.&nbsp; "Safe Word?!

I DON'T FUCKING WANT TO BE HERE!!!</strong>"&nbsp; His screams got louder and louder as he thrashed against his bonds, screaming out in utter primal terror.

				Thorn stayed next to Stine and when Shadow proceeded into the room she glided her fingers lightly up his back.&nbsp; Her eyes remained locked on the bound man as she pressed her body into Stine and whispered, “See?&nbsp; Our playmates have so much fun in their role.&nbsp; If you are uncomfortable let me know immediately and you may leave.”&nbsp; Thorn then walked in front of him and grabbed both of his hands.&nbsp; Her eyes remained locked on Stine now and she gently pulled him further into the room.&nbsp; “I think you will enjoy yourself Stine…if not now, then maybe after,” she said as she stopped her backward retreat and walked forward, gently kissing his lips before moving to the side once more.<br><br>Thorn waved to a chair that was set against the wall and said softly, “have a seat, Stine,” before walking over to their toy and locking eyes with him.&nbsp; “Maybe next time we should put a diaper on you?” she said in mock disgust, but that look was replaced by a smirk as she ran her hands down his bare chest, stopping at his nipples.&nbsp; Her smirk is replaced by a sinister grin as she lowered her head to his chest and grabbed one of his nipples between her teeth.&nbsp; Pulling gently at first, she reached down with her hand and pulled his cock roughly, then bit down harder until she broke the skin, and a spurt of blood entered her mouth.&nbsp; She quickly released his nipple then with her bloody tongue, licked the man’s lips.&nbsp; “Delicious,” she said before releasing his cock and moving back over to Stine.

				As they entered the house, he looked around and was impressed. They seemed pretty well off. Which was reaffirmed moments later. He was equally impressed by the hidden door - he would not have thought about such a thing - that clearly led down into a basement like area. At first he was reminded of some horror flick, as the lights turned on one by one. Something along the lines of "Hostel". And it caused him to pause, momentarily. Physically, he could overpower either one of them. The two working in tandem, that would be trickier. IF they had alternate intentions.<br><br>He did enjoy the attention the two showed to him, lingering touches and the like. He'd never been with an older woman before, and was surprised when Thorn leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips. It caused his face to blush and he quickly moved over to the seat they pointed out to him. It was then that he studied the man on the table. <br><br>The 'victim', as Stine would call him, was completely helpless. There was no way the two girls had gotten him there so easily, so it was clear to Stine that he was a willing victim, despite what he said and yelled. Perhaps his denial was how he got off? It took him a few seconds to see what Thorn had done to him, biting his nipple hard enough to draw blood as she roughly fondled his junk, and knowing how sensitive his own nipples could be at times, he pitied the man the pain he was feeling.

				Sam groaned as Shadow gripped his testicles, tears shooting out of his eyes as he moaned in pain.&nbsp; "Please" he begged, his tear reddened eyes staring into the eyes of a predator.&nbsp; "Why are you doing this to me?"&nbsp; His voice was much weaker now, a hollow squeak compared to the loud screams he had managed earlier.&nbsp; He wasn't going to stop talking, keep begging and screaming and trying to remind them that he was a human being, not just some plaything.&nbsp; Sam found himself shivering against the cold metal table, the sudden heat brought to him by their play with his blood reminding him of how cold the chamber really was.&nbsp; His nipple felt like it was on fire, hardening to the cold even as more of his sanguine humours leaked out.&nbsp; "You don't have to do this&nbsp; -what do you want from me?" he squeaked ineffectually in protest, nearly incoherent from the strange and terrible experiences already inflicted on him that day.

				The tears seemed genuine, Peter thought, and he was clearly not aroused by the squeezing that Shadowz was doing to him. But perhaps that was part of the fun? So much pain that it was such a turn on he couldn't get it up? Or maybe as the pain lessened he would get aroused? He hadn't used his safe word yet, either, so he must be enjoying it on some level. Then again, these types of things could last for hours. Perhaps this was to break his resolve, to see how much pain he could really handle? In either case, Peter found it fascinating. He would have been screaming his safe-word by now if he was in the same position - there was no way he could tolerate such things. He committed all this to memory, to be able to write about it later, and perhaps interview the victim to find out what his mindset truly was.

				Thorn’s eyes glimmered as she watched the man beg with Shadow to let him go.&nbsp; A small giggled escaped her lips and after watching a while longer, she turned to Stine, ”Let’s go upstairs; I don’t think our toy is very comfortable with you watching any longer.”&nbsp; She gently prodded Stine to the stairs then walked over to Shadow.&nbsp; With a smirk Thorn ran her fingertips across her lover’s breasts before leaning in close to her ear, “Baby, he makes too much noise, remove his tongue please,” she whispered before tracing her own tongue over Shadow’s ear.&nbsp; She then turned to the man and smiled sweetly at him, almost innocently, “Don’t let her scare you darling.&nbsp; And don’t worry, I’ll be back later,” and with one last glance at Shadow, she turned back to Stine with a smile.<br><br>Thorn and Stine walked up the stairs and once there, she closed the heavy door behind them.&nbsp; “Have a seat and I’ll make us some drinks, Stine,” she said as she headed to the liquor cabinet.&nbsp; The temptation to drug him was almost irresistible, but his interest in their fun intrigued her too much, so she decided not to take him on as a toy.&nbsp; The question was though…would he be intrigued enough to join in at some point?&nbsp; “So Stine, share your thoughts!” she said as she carried over the two glasses of wine she had poured.&nbsp;

				Had he been privy to the whispered words between the two, his face might have turned ghost white at the thought of cutting out his tongue. Fortuneately, he heard no such words and needed little urging to follow Thorn back up the stairs. He found himself almost strangely aroused by the control the two women showed over their victim, and getting some alone time with either of them might prove....beneficial to his growing needs. He had caught a glimpse of the groping, of course.<br><br>Taking the seat, and then the offered wine, he took a moment to collect his thoughts before responding. "I think its extremely...pleasing to see some one dominated in such away. Its almost a horrid fascination, watching some one endure such pain that would clearly have me screaming my safe-word." He shakes his head. "The human body and mind is capable of some amazing things." A brief pause to drink some more wine. "To be honest, I was expecting more whipping and pinching and the like...you know, the type of thing you see in BDSM movies and all."

				Shadow felt the breathless pleasure from her lovers touch strike her deeply and her soft whispered words and gentle caress danced across her like electricity…she reached her fingers gently against Thorn’s cheek and pressed her lips against hers in a softly passionate kiss… as she pulled from her, the two women exchanged the look, each knowing what was ticking in the others mind so close had their unspoken bond become.&nbsp; Shadow glanced back at the sight of the man strapped to the table… still he protested and tried to writhe against his bindings and she gave him a wry smile.<br><br>She turned back and watched as they disappeared up the stairs, the brief pool of light from the hallway cast Thorn in silhouette, but the expression in her eyes flickered and Shadow nodded in silent agreement.&nbsp; The panel door closed and the light of the outside world was gone once more… casting the room in its artificial glow.&nbsp; The air hung in silence but for his protests and Shadow’s eyes regarded him with a dark baleful look, she approached him… “So… do I scare you?” she giggled and raked her nails along his body, showing none of the ‘care’ she had previously as her touch bought a reddened blush to his flesh that lay beaded with blood.&nbsp; His cries echoed around her head and she threw her head back and drunk them in before snapping her gaze forward….<br><br>“You really don’t know when to fucking shut up do you…” She slowly approached him, her fingers continuing their fiery caress along his body before she came close to his face, her blue eyes piercing against his wide eyed soft brown stare… she leaned in, her lips gently feathering across his in the briefest of kisses, his fearful breath caressing her face.&nbsp; She reached down below the table and took hold of a pair of medical forceps, they glinted under the light and she lowered them to his lips…<br><br>He moved to cry out… or insult her… it didn’t matter, for the moment his lips parted, she pushed the forceps between them… opening them up and forcing his mouth wider before the rough metal pads clamped on him and his cries became muffled.&nbsp; Shadow pulled the forceps slightly and raised his tongue past his lips, rendering his cries incomprehensible.&nbsp; She gazed at the glistening muscle as it flexed in her grip.<br><br>Her fingers sought the handle of the scalpel… and bought it to bear, her eyes flashed cruelly as she gently trailed the cold metal over his lips, he tried to pull away but the tight grip she held on his tongue kept his close.&nbsp; Shadow slipped the blade between his lips and felt the handle chink against his teeth as the blade felt the soft touch of the base of his tongue.&nbsp; There was a moment of resistance but that was all his tongue could put up as the meat parted as she feathered the blade through… despite being steadfastly <br><br>Shadow glared at him, she relished the craft of her work and hated the though that he might cause her usually steadied hand to stray and she snapped at him… “Hold still for fucks sake… or I really will make this hurt!” the blade continued to sever the flesh and each jolt sent a spray of bloodied spit into the air… the blade reached through the other side of his tongue and at once she felt the resistance in the glistening muscle she held in the forceps cease.&nbsp; With a smile she lifted it from his mouth and gazed across it, her eyes sparkling as blood oozed from the edge… she was lost in its macabre beauty and for a moment was unaware of the blood pooling in his mouth from the open wound and the violent gurgling cough that had taken him..<br><br>She flicked her gaze to him and snapped his head to the side as he coughed violently and a flood of blood splattered across the metal table…<br><br>Slowly she bought her face to his, her eyes seeking out the pain in his gaze and would give an indication of the fire that burned through his mind.&nbsp; Her fingers moved to brush his cheek… her lips moved closer to his as she embraced him deeply in a kiss, her mouth flooded with the overpowering metallic tang as his blood pumped into her and spilled from her lips, running down her chin and gently pattering on the steel table… her tongue flickered and writhed in his mouth… her kiss deeply explorative, and one she greatly savoured… she pulled from him, her lips coated with blood, her pale skin washed with the crimson life of his body<br><br>The forceps still held the flaccid meat that had once been his tongue; she eyed it with a curiosity…“What to do with this then….” She mused this over for a moment before a thin smile played her…<br><br>“Do you know what I like?” she lowered herself to his ear… he was still wracked with pain and coughing fitfully, each cough spending a spray of blood into the air that fell across him like a gentle summer rain, she couldn’t care that he couldn’t respond or likely even hear her to comprehend her… she spoke solely to indulge her own darker needs… she released the tongue from the grips and gently toyed with it in her hand.&nbsp; With ease she proceeded to roll the meat up and with a bloodied hand she reached between his legs, using the blood the moisten its path before inserting it within him… <br>

				Sam's screams were truly deafening, his eyes utterly glazed over with tears as Shadow's deft hands moved over him.&nbsp; When the forceps grabbed his tongue, however, only a terrified squeak emerged, followed by assorted sounds of torment as the little muscle was cut.&nbsp; Sam coughed and choked on the blood coming from the stump of his tongue, laying his head to the side to try and keep the blood from going into his lungs.&nbsp; The loss of his tongue had well and truly silenced him, and aside from the occasional cough, he laid limp in his restrants, too terrified to give the slightest murmur of protest.&nbsp; Blood trickled out from his mouth without pause, and he felt a horrible shiver of terror as he saw his lifeblood seeping out of him.<br><br>Sam was filled with pain, yet something in him had progressed far beyond fear as his entire body hung limp.&nbsp; He now knew for certain that he was going to die in this place, and he wouldn't even be able to speak coherently to beg for mercy while he was dying.&nbsp; The tears on his face dried up as a strange peace came over him, most likely from blood loss, and his eyes moved up to meet Shadow's as she inserted his severed tongue into his rectum, the warm and bloody organ giving him a strangely pleasurable sensation.&nbsp; His eyes held no hint of resistance, only a very deep pain and a strange existential submission.

				Thorn smiled down at him and sipped her wine as her mind played with his words.&nbsp; When he was finished she placed her wine glass on the table then knelt down before him and gently took his arm in her hand.&nbsp; “There is a certain way to do it, Stine…and not everyone can break away from the pain to find the pleasure,” she said as she lightly trailed her fingertips down his forearm then back up again.&nbsp; After doing this a few more times, she started from the top and dug her nails into his flesh and dragged down harshly to his wrist, leaving angry red trails in their wake.&nbsp; <br><br>Immediately following this action with another, her tongue glided over the red scratches from bottom to top.&nbsp; Then, pressing her mouth onto his skin she worked her way back down as her tongue swept lightly back and forth, cooling the burn.&nbsp; Once she had reached his wrist, she continued onto his palm and down his middle finger which she took into her mouth.&nbsp; She looked up into his eyes, her own green eyes twinkling mischievously, and wondered if he was afraid of her.<br><br>After taking his finger all the way into her throat, she slowly removed it then, after kissing his fingertip, she sat back on her heels.&nbsp; “How long did you feel the pain, Stine?” she asked with a smile, reaching back for her glass of wine.&nbsp; She had been tempted to bite down on his finger, but didn’t want to scare him off with that kind of pain…at least not just yet.&nbsp; If they found out Stine couldn’t be trusted, she would be sure to repeat her actions but at that time, he would be missing a digit at the end.

				Her actions brought a completely different reaction out of him, and his arousal began to poke at the front of the jeans he wore. He found he enjoyed the scratching, it bordering on the pleasure/pain line, but the cooling action of her tongue as she licked over the rawness kept it in the pleasurable side of things. And when she took his finger into his mouth, well, it was easy for him to imagine her sucking on something else entirely, with more more pleasing results. <br><br>"It still burns a little, but I hardly notice it anymore, and immediately once you began to lick at it and suck on my finger." He responds truthfully, tagging another sip of his wine before setting it down beside him. He imagined that she would like it rough, with a fair amount of pain inflicted on herself.

				Shadow pulled her bloodied fingers from his ass; and as she did so she raked her nails across the pale soft meat of his inner thighs, leaving a set of perfect crimson tramlines.&nbsp; As she did this, the sight of the untainted flesh bought to mind the deep scars she carried on her own, her right thigh deeply carved with a shattered ragged scar, one that she had carried for so long… for a moment she felt a flicker of anger towards him, and resentment that he had been, at least until now, so free of knowing the truth behind pain.&nbsp; Sat a little across from the table lay a device consisting of a thin metal tube connected to a handle from which led a cable plugged to the wall, Shadow flicked it on and waited a moment until the bar had heated sufficiently.&nbsp; She returned to him and took a hold of his lower jaw, pulling it down and inserting the device into his mouth.&nbsp; The room was filled with a crackling hiss as the heat burned the slit flesh and steamed the blood that it contacted with… satisfied the wound was adequately cauterised, Shadow stood back and smiled… “Would hate you to miss out on the fun…”&nbsp; <br><br>She pulled a stool across from the wall and sat close to him, her head rested upon his chest as her eyes turned towards his head and watched the spasmodic coughs that would mist the air around them with a haze of blood… her fingers began to idly play with a nipple, the same nipple that had been cut with Thorn’s teeth.&nbsp; She rested her head a while, lost in her thoughts and the <br><br>The backs of her fingers caressed his cheek; her eyes focused on his… focusing on the pain that wracked him so deeply… she softly dipped her head forward and feathered a kiss on a bloodied cheek, her lips shivered across his face and rested a tender kiss on his forehead.&nbsp; She pulled away and met the richly pained look in his eyes… there was something else there… at least she felt there was… something about the way he looked at her.&nbsp; She rose up and with a flash of anger at what she felt she had read in his expression, she kicked the stool backwards into the wall…&nbsp; <br><br>“You think you know pain?&nbsp; I say this… if&nbsp; ‘thine eye offends thee’…. Cut it out….” Her words rang with a resonating hiss as she moved closer to him.&nbsp; Her thumb slid across the warmth of his bloodied face, up along his forehead and rode down the bridge of his nose…. It paused against the corner of his eye and for a moment there was a fixed gaze before Shadow exerted pressure against the eye… the pliable surface began to push inwards as she flexed her thumb and drove harder and deeper… pushing her way past the opening of his eye socket and feeling the pressure against her as she started to lever the orb from its socket.&nbsp; With a slick sound his eye began to bulge from his skull and she lowered her head to his as she slipped her thumb from him, its length coated thickly red…<br><br>Her teeth pressed against the soft rubbery texture of his eyeball, knowing well the effects the pressure would exert, she slowly lifted upwards… the soft flaps of his eyelids, that would normally protect his eye were of no help to him as they parted and slipped across the orb as she pulled it free from him… she pulled it into her mouth, the bundle of muscle and fibres still connecting it to him…at least until she scissored it free with her teeth. <br><br>Shadow pulled up and regard the pooling blood in the empty socket as she rolled the orb around her mouth, it was a few moments before she chose to spit it into her hand.&nbsp; <br><br>“Now… perhaps you won’t look on me in such a way…” <br>

				Sam relaxed a bit after his wound had been cauterized.&nbsp; He was in horrible agony, but he wasn't actively being tortured.&nbsp; The loss of his eye, however, was too much for him, and he screamed horribly as his eye was poked into blindness by Shadow's thumb, screaming all the more as she came in with her mouth to eat his eyeball.&nbsp; As she tore at his eye with her teeth, he bit down on her cheek and neck, his lips touching her in a strange parody of a kiss.&nbsp; He felt her skin breaking, and the muscles of his mouth moved to lick up her blood to mingle with his own, only to send another wave of pain through him as the burns in the back of his throat cracked in a cornucopia of suffering.&nbsp; His head turned and he gazed intently into his own eyeball, knowing he was about to get a good amount of cauterizing iron jammed into his eye socket.&nbsp; "Mah Euyie!" he yelped, his mouth burning with agony as he tried to speak.&nbsp; Perhaps it was the blood loss, perhaps it was the manifest cruelty before him, somehow the pain was starting to mean less and less as she mutilated his body.<br><br>Sam's hands clenched into fists of rage, and he began to breathe deeper as he looked into Shadow with his one good eye.&nbsp; His eye was filled with a stubborn will to resist, and a solemn promise that he'd stay alive as long as possible so he could pay back the cruelty that had just been thrown on him for no reason.&nbsp; He began to wonder if the monster accosting him had gotten that way after suffering a similar experience, and then couldn't stop hating.&nbsp; "whaaiiiight"&nbsp; he tried to ask, hissing as his voice broke and he coughed up blood yet again.&nbsp; With any luck, the "woman" would begin explaining her tortured past or simply telling him about her horrible torture plans, which saved him from having them carried out.&nbsp; Or maybe she'd start touching and kissing him again.&nbsp; Against all odds, a portion of the limited amount of blood in his body began to flow towards his genitals, and his cock began to slowly begin to perk up.&nbsp;

				Thorn nodded before tilting her head back to finish the contents of her glass.&nbsp; As she looked thoughtfully into the empty glass, she caught a glimpse of the beginnings of an erection in his pants and this made her smile.&nbsp; It was now time to get him ready for Shadow, who had somewhat made her unspoken claim on Stine, one which neither of them ever went against.<br><br>After setting the glass back down on the table, she looked into his eyes and licked her lips out of habit.&nbsp; Placing her hands on his knees and with her fingers splayed she began to move them up his legs, the tips of her thumbs gently grazing the bulging denim fabric of his groin, but only for an instant as she continued to his stomach and then chest, pushing him back against the couch.<br><br>Leaning forward with her chest against his, her hands then moved down his arms to his wrists and with a strong grasp she raised them to the sides of his head, before loosening her grip.&nbsp; Her eyes lowered to his lips and she moved her face closer to his, “Tell me what your darkest fantasy is,” she whispered then shot her eyes quickly back up to lock onto his.&nbsp; “I won’t hurt you, Stine.&nbsp; I don’t always bring pain,” she added then gave him a sweet kiss which seemed to go against everything that he had witnessed so far.&nbsp; “Tell me.”

				He shifts slightly, as her hands roam up his leg and graze over his growing hardness. Her hands would find his body hard, though not chiseled, under his shirt. He was in shape and took pride in keeping that way, keeping off the extra pounds any way he could, but he also didn't have bulging muscles or a six-pack. She was highly arousing, the sense of danger around her yet her more...peaceful actions, compared to what he had seen downstairs. He kiss took his breath away momentarily and it took him a few seconds to think about what she had said.<br><br>"To completely dominate a female, to, uh, have her completely submissive to my every whim and need." He responds truthfully. He had much exploring to do yet in the world of sex, but he did have a general idea of what his darkest, not the social norm, desires were.

				Shadow felt the thin sparkle of pain flush her cheek and the warm trickle that flowed from her broken skin and mingled with the fresh scent of his blood that drained from her lips… the pain she felt somehow filled her with a cleansing feeling… something special that they alone had shared in that moment, as they inflicted it upon each other.<br><br>She pushed the iron against the back of his eye socket, the metal clunked with a hollow sound as it hit the thin layer of bone that shield her from his brain.&nbsp; The air sizzled with the reek of boiling blood and his body bucked at its fiery touch… she pulled it free and held it above him… her eyes were drawn to the cut Thorn had made with her teeth earlier against his nipple… not a wound that could be considered life threatening, but, well she had the iron to hand… with a smile she pressed it hard against his flesh, the reek of burning meat filled her nose as the skin blistered and blackened at its touch.&nbsp; She lifted it free, a thin sliver of sizzling skin caught against the heated metal and pulled from his body.<br><br>Shadow paused for a moment against his burbled cry… her head cocked a little to the side as the shudder of effort to ‘speak’ caused renewed gobbets of blood to cascade from his maw… she walked slowly back to his face, her gaze pulled to his remaining eye which flickered fearful as her cool demeanour fell across him… and a cruel smile flecked her bloodstained face… “I know what you are thinking, I know beyond the crushing pain what is going on in your mind… I have seen it before… I have… felt it myself…” her hands slid across his face and she rested her lips for a moment on his forehead, before turning from him.&nbsp; Her fingers grazed down his body and she smiled a little when the met the stiffening of his meat… she paused for a moment and her nails dug deeply into his cock.&nbsp; A part of her had a deep urge to take him… to feel the heat of his body wash through her as she delivered him herself to the darkness… but… she had made a promise… she gave him one last tight squeeze before releasing him and heading towards the door at the furthest end of the room..<br><br>Once she had entered the room she closed the door behind her and stepping onto the cool tiles of the shower room…Shadow stripped and tossed her clothing into a bin liner, taking time to seal it… she had gotten carried away again, she knew that in her own mind, but she had been so weak to resist.<br><br>She stepped through into the shower and flicked the switch, at once her body was bathed in the fine heated spray that pummelled and massaged her.&nbsp; She tousled her fingers through her hair and tipped her head back… opening her mouth and allowing the clear water to flood it… it spilled from her tainted a deep red and ran down her chin, flowing along her neck and running around the gentle swell of her breasts.&nbsp; She worked her hands across her naked flesh, feeling her soft heat against her touch as she cleaned her body of the tell-tale wash of blood… the water ran crimson around her and siphoned away through the filter in the shower floor.&nbsp; It seemed like an age in which she stood beneath its gentle caress… it was as though the act of shower afterwards allowed her mind to balance itself once again…. <br><br>She spent a little while cleaning the shower down before she stepped out from it and gently towelled herself dry, before slipping on a black silk robe and wrapping the tie around her waist… she slipped from the shower room and back into the chamber… she glanced across to him as he lay strapped tightly to the table… his body swathed in blood and shivered with pain as she smiled, her body now cleansed and the fire that burned inside purified by her actions… she bought her fingers to her lips and blew him a soft kiss as she made her way upstairs leaving him alone with his thoughts and fears…<br><br>She took a deep breath as she reached the top of the stairs and chased away the last of the fever that had threaded through her… she depressed the catch and the door opened into the hallway…<br>

				Sam lay strapped to the table, a painfully broken feeling washing over him as Shadow headed to the shower.&nbsp; By all rights he should have fallen unconscious, yet somehow he held on, the agony inflicted on him putting him just enough pain to keep his eyes open.&nbsp; His emotions were far more confused, as he worked to suck in breaths and breathe out, that simple action taking up a comforting amount of his concentration.&nbsp; Yet as he listened to the shower in the other room, his thoughts returned to the woman who had maimed him, and he realized that he wanted more than anything to make her suffer.&nbsp; Well, not suffer necessarily, she seemed to like getting bit well enough, but he still wanted to inflict pain on her, to watch her squirm in agony as he pressed hot iron to her body.&nbsp; He felt his cock stiffening at these thoughts, and choked on his own blood again when he realized what had happened.&nbsp; <br><br>As Shadow left the chamber and blew him a kiss, he contorted his mouth into a small, wicked smile behind his pain.&nbsp; With his cock standing at attention, he looked every inch the willing participant, or at least he would if he wasn't covered in so much of his own blood.&nbsp; As Shadow left, he leaned back, trying his best to conserve his strength.&nbsp; His body and blood felt different, as if there were a fire inside him.&nbsp; He had not tasted Shadow's blood when he bit her, but more than anything he wanted to.&nbsp; Sam tested his restraints, finding that his fingers could just reach to a trough underneath the table where a small amount of his blood stood in a stagnant pool.&nbsp; He dipped a finger in the blood and began to write a message next to where his hands were restrained.&nbsp; Next to his right hand, he wrote <strong>UNDERSTAND</strong>, next to his left, he wrote <strong>WANT BLOOD</strong>.&nbsp; Having finished the operation, he rested his head on the table and drifted off into a fitful, pain wracked sleep, his marrow working to replace the blood he had lost.&nbsp; His last thoughts before he slipped into unconsciousness where of whether or not he'd be kept alive long enough to be given food.

				He nods his head at her words, taking her last as more of a threat/warning then anything. There was still something dangerous about her that he couldn't lay his finger on, but he finished his glass of wine none the less, his bulge still remaining in his pants. She was very seductive, he thought, and wouldn't mind getting her alone and naked. The thought made him chuckle and the opening of the door drew his attention to Shadowz. She had showered, it appeared, and by the way the robe clung to her body, she was completely naked underneath. His smile broadens when he sees her and he watches as Thorn descends back into the basement, door closing behind her. <br><br>"I take it you had some fun down there?" He asks Shadowz.

				Shadow walked through the door and her eyes drifted towards Thorn immediately, a wryly drawn smile on her lips as her eyes spoke of the depth her ‘passion’ had explored beneath the house… and that her wishes had indeed been followed.&nbsp; Her fingers wrapped about the stem of the empty glass as Thorn passed it to her, for the briefest of moments her fingers lingered on Thorn’s… her eyes flickering with an intensity created by her actions below; she gave her a smile as Thorn slipped from view into the basement.&nbsp; <br><br>She smiled at Stine… but for the moment kept her response stilled… Her eyes dropped to the glass and she walked across to the table and proceeded to fill the same glass for herself, noticing that his had been emptied, she tipped the neck of the bottle against the rim of his glass and filled it… then resting the bottle on the table, she bought the wine to her lips and sipped the chilled liquid and felt the coolness of the drink chase away the last feathering touch of the dark heat that had consumed her so richly just moments before… she smiled at Stine as she placed her glass on the table and sat in the seat only moments before occupied by Thorn, confident that the shower had taken away any inkling <br><br>“I… we had some fun, it can get quite indulgent at times… the scene is such a rich variety for the senses…” she sipped a little more of her drink, her eyes drinking him in as she did so and catching sight of the bulge in his crotch… she placed the glass down and smiled.&nbsp; She knew well the effect that Thorn could have on people… intoxicating… and Stine displayed all the evidence that her ‘touch’ had not been unwelcomed.<br><br>“I thought it best to shower before I came up… as you came imagine it can get quite physical and I didn’t want to be smelling of sweat… all night.” She smiled and leaned forward to take her glass, the robe, which barely covered her thigh, slipped a little as she move and exposed a little more of her thigh and just a hint of the scar against her silken skin… “So… has Thorn been looking after you?”<br>

				Her watches Shadowz every movement, ever delicate movement. She wasn't about to reveal too much of what had gone on downstairs but he wasn't about to press her. He thought he knew what might have happened and what Thorn was about partake in. It didn't diminish his arousal at all and he sipped from his refilled cup. "Thorn has been taking very good care of me." He responds carefully, not about to mention the brief discussion he had had with her. He continues to sit, leaning against the back of the sofa. "The wine is fabulous too." He adds, eyes darting down to her exposed leg, noticing the hint of a scar there. Another part of the puzzle, he thought.

				Thorn frowned and touched her fingers gently to his cheek bone below the now missing eye.&nbsp; Without Shadow’s company, Thorn always found it hard to flip the switch inside of herself…the one that allowed her to disassociate herself from her own actions.&nbsp; She leaned down and softly kissed his neck as he turned his head to the side.&nbsp; Glancing at the smeared message she nodded silently knowing that his mind had snapped, as most of them do and he had just become as sick and twisted as herself and Shadow.&nbsp; &nbsp;Tenderly she turned his head back to her and with a soft smile she whispered, “Did it hurt?”<br><br>Her question was not a sadistic one as she genuinely felt horrible for what they were doing to him.&nbsp; Seeing someone not being able to fight back the things that are inflicted upon them actually made Thorn angry.&nbsp; She sighed and walked over to a shelving unit located near the entryway and grabbed a towel which she brought back over to him.&nbsp; Using the towel to wipe the blood from his mouth she began to hum a childhood lullaby to him.&nbsp; When his face was clean she smiled with satisfaction and asked, “Would you like some water perhaps?”

				Sam looked into Thorn's eyes with a deeply suspicious look, remembering she was the one who had bitten his nipple in the first place.&nbsp; The one who had first suggested cutting his tongue out.&nbsp; What right did she have to go caring for him?&nbsp; Perhaps she really did care about him, perhaps she'd finish him off with a needle full of something soothing instead of a hatchet.&nbsp; He had no particular illusions though.&nbsp; He simply kept on smiling, slowly drifting into reassuring grasp of a psychosis.<br><br>He barely heard her ask whether or not it hurt, and answered the question by parting his lips to expose his still bloody teeth.&nbsp; He idly wondered how much it would hurt to have his teeth knocked out, or perhaps have them filed to razor sharp points.&nbsp; The latter he would go and do himself, if he wasn't put down like a rabid dog.&nbsp; Even if he escaped or was let go, he couldn't integrate back into normal society, not anymore.&nbsp; When asked whether he'd like water, Sam began to mimic writing motions with his right hand.&nbsp; "Peahp... Peagh..."&nbsp; he moaned, feeling proud that he didn't choke on any blood this time.&nbsp; He began to wonder just how many victims the two wolves had played host to, and how many of them had ended up admiring them, like he found himself doing.&nbsp; Perhaps he had been weaker than most, and given up his personality and morals far too soon.&nbsp; &nbsp;Either way, he sat and awaited the next round of torture.

				Shadow watched his eyes as he spoke; she had long had the ability to read from people’s eyes, something that gave her an exquisite pleasure when she played a symphony of suffering across their flesh in the dark heart of the house, and saw the contortion of fire in their expression… even when they had long lost their ability to scream and their mind was cast into madness, the pain always reflected in their eyes… She smiled softly and took a further sip from her glass… “Thorn certainly has an enchantment about her…” her gaze narrowed a little, there was more meaning to her words than he could yet know, but she never offered to expand on her statement… <br><br>There was a silent flicker in her eyes when she realised he had caught sight of the scars against the pale flesh of her inner thigh, she shifted her position a little and dropped a hand to bring the edge of the thin robe a little tighter across herself… for a moment she felt a flash of discomfort at being so exposed, something she rarely felt, but as the darkness ebbed from her conscious thoughts it left her feeling weak and vulnerable.&nbsp; Feeling that usually only Thorn was able to free her from…<br><br>For a moment she nursed the glass of wine in her hands, her gaze distracted and staring through it, the silent curse of memory fluttering across her…<br><br><em>… she remembered the look in his eyes, the dark promise that he had threatened to fulfil should she give his sister any inkling… his arm across her… holding… controlling… She remembered the moisture in her eyes as she fought back her fears and smiled softly as he introduced them…</em><br><br>She shook her mind free from the mire and cast him a playful smile…placing the glass on the table she moved across to his side and sat a little closer to him…“I find that pleasure and pain are so intimately entwined… sometimes their touch can be indistinguishable…” she gave him a soft smile as her fingers rose to gently flick a strand of stray hair from his face and casting her gaze against his own…<br><br>“I think tonight I have taken my fill of ‘pain’…” her eyes flicked to his, their burning meaning clear… “Thorn will likely be a while yet perhaps you wish to make yourself a little more comfortable? I certainly have…” Her soft touch reached across his neck as her eyes sharpened and her touch feather across his neck, feeling herself flush a little under his gaze…<br>

				He nods his head, eyes on hers. He notices them go blank for a few seconds, clearly with her lost in thought, but she soon returns to the land of the living and he smiles at her as she sits close to him. He agreed with her statement about pain and pleasure - it was the feeling he had had when Thorn had racked her nails across his arm. That borderline feeling. Her touch on him was like fire coursing through his body, and her hidden words - the ones that went unspoken - were loud enough for him. And he was more then willing to comply. He sets his glass of wine down, resting a hand on the naked skin of her leg, gently rubbing there. "Yes...perhaps you can show me to a...bedroom?" He suggests, unless she wanted to remain where they were. He was fine with that - the risk of Thorn coming back up and catching them in action had its own appeal to it too.

				His hand moving caught her eye and she glanced over just as he spoke.&nbsp; With a small nod she quietly turned around and went back to the shelving unit.&nbsp; On the bottom shelf there was some old newspaper but there were no writing instruments.&nbsp; Thorn walked back over and smiled sadly at him once more.&nbsp; “Nothing to writ….,” she began, and then remembered the bag of charcoal.&nbsp; After retrieving a piece from the bag, she walked back over to him and placed it in his right hand while holding the newspaper down on the table for him.<br><br>As he wrote, she watched his eyes and wondered who would miss him when he was gone.&nbsp; The thought made her heart ache and with her free hand, she caressed his cheek.&nbsp; Her mind suddenly brought her back to the dinner with her brother and Shadow.&nbsp; <em>Were there clues there…clues that told of what was happening to Shadow?</em>&nbsp; She asked herself this many times, and after years of beating herself up for possibly <em>missing</em> a clue, the only time that scene returned to her was when she was about to kill.&nbsp; She claimed it made her more careful, but in reality it was the anger at herself that flipped that switch in her mind…from a quiet, sweet woman…to a monster.

				Sam grasped the charcol and began to write, his hand scraping furiously over the newspaper.&nbsp; He had a certain intensity about him as he wrote, trying to capture together the fractured bits of his mind.&nbsp; He stopped after covering the newspaper in blocky, somewhat broken letters, bringing together his message.&nbsp; <strong>"I know you're going to kill me, and I've accepted that.&nbsp; How many other people have you treated like this?&nbsp; How many have written a final contract like this?&nbsp; I've decided to stop resisting, to become a willing participant in all this.&nbsp; I'm going to give myself to you, body mind and soul.&nbsp; I'll help you cover up my death, write a suicide note or something.&nbsp; I do have one request though.&nbsp; I have a girlfreind (address and contact information follows) I want you to torture and kill her as well.&nbsp; I'll even help you do it, if you want to keep me alive that long." </strong>&nbsp; The meandering thin lines of text ended, and Sam handed the newsprint to Thorn, feeling himself flushed with a strange feverish heat.

				Thorn watched his face contort with the effort of writing then when he was done she looked down at the newspaper and gently took it from him.&nbsp; After reading it she looked back at him and raised her eyebrow, a small smile playing on her lips.&nbsp; "I'll be right back darling," she said before kissing his cheek then turned to walk past the doorway.&nbsp; She fished her cellphone from her pocket and pressed send twice, ringing Shadow's cell phone.&nbsp;

				Her eyes dipped a little and followed the track of his fingers as they softly traced against her thigh, for the second time she felt the swell of a rising need within her… and just as before she had to succumb to her hunger… her touch moved along from his neck and touched upon his lower jaw, her soft breath fettered across him as she slowly leaned in towards his lips, she pursed hers as she closed in.&nbsp; Shadow was an inch from him when the silent seduction was shattered by the trill of her cell.&nbsp; With a smile she pulled back from him and moved across the room to the side where her phone sat.&nbsp; Picking it up, she flipped it open and rested it against her ear.<br><br>Shadow said nothing as Thorn told her of what had happened, but she stood with her back to Stine and thus concealed the widening smile that cut across her face as Thorn continued to read out what had been scrawled…once finished, Shadow responded simply… “Beautiful darling… beautiful.” She snapped the phone shut and turn to met Stine’s gaze, her smile as sharp as the flicker in her eyes as she looked him over… she was silent for a moment more as she ran the new development over in her mind… <br><br>“Forgive me… where were we? I am afraid that neither of us thought to prepare a guest bedroom… this place could really do with a maid.” She placed her phone back on the side and walked across to him… “But I don’t think that should be too great a worry…” Shadow feathered her fingers down across his arm following the reddened tract which Thorn had sparked in his flesh a little earlier, as her fingers reached his hand and laced through his own… she fixed her grip against his and pulled him upwards, her other arm reaching around his back and holding him close as her eyes sparkled against his and she felt the faint shivering of her hunger return… <br><br>“Come…. It’s late.&nbsp; Thorn will likely be sometime, she has some clearing up to do…” the edge of her lips curled into a smile… and she phoned to say she doesn’t want us waiting around for her.&nbsp; Shadows face closed to his once more… her soft breath once more feathering his lips, before she released her hand from his back… but keeping her fingers laced with his, she stepped back and motioned with a flick of her head as she began to pull him towards the stairs and to the main bedroom…<br><br>Once inside… shut the door behind them and pulled him closer to the bed, her fingers reaching across and brushing against his top… gliding down further, past his taut stomach and to the waistband of his jeans… her touch lingering there a moment or two as her eyes swam with her hunger…<br><br>“I am afraid I cannot offer you much in the way of night wear… I could perhaps find you an old tee shirt… but…” her words lingered as her gaze burned…<br>

				Her touch sent fire coursing through his body, until the damned phone rang. Talk about killing the mood. His eyes watch after her hungrily as she moves away to answer the phone. He sets his glass down in the mean time. When she returned, he easily let her pull him to his feet, the bulge having since diminished causing him no discomfort in the sudden change of positions. It took little urging from her to coax him to follow her, like a pup being led to the kill, Once in side, hands coursing across his body, soon had him aroused enough and he brings his hands up to her hips.<br><br>"Well, I can't try anything else on with what i'm wearing. I tend to sleep in the buff anyways." He says softly, eyes locking with her. Her robe would be easy enough to untie.

				Thorn returned her phone to her pocket and leaned against the wall for a few moments to process the conversation with Shadow.&nbsp; They would be keeping the man alive and trying to lure in his girlfriend as he requested.&nbsp; The plan didn’t sit too well with Thorn as she was prepared to kill him tonight then move onto the next victim, but now she had to come up with a way to break him down psychologically but still keep him alive.&nbsp; With a heavy sigh, she pushed herself away from the wall and returned to the room with a small on her face.<br><br>“Your girlfriend must not be very nice,” she said gently as she approached him and put her head down on his chest, listening to the thumping of his heart.&nbsp; She raised her head to meet his eyes, “You get to see what happens to her, but that means I have to choose a part of your body to take away from you in return.”&nbsp; Her eyes left his and began to search his body as she thought out loud.&nbsp; “Your tongue is gone and I bet stick somewhere that isn’t too pleasant.&nbsp; Your eye is gone…,” she muttered quietly then her gaze stopped on his arms.&nbsp; <br><br>She lowered her mouth to his shoulder and slowly worked her way down to his elbow, alternatively kissing and nibbling his skin.&nbsp; “I could take your arms,” she mused out loud then continued her way from his side to his stomach, purposefully avoiding his chest and nipples.&nbsp; “I could just remove your entire bottom torso, but you would probably die of shock too quickly,” was said with a sigh.&nbsp; Her hand then lightly wrapped around his cock and she licked the length of his shaft slowly upwards, ending with a sucking kiss on the tip before looking up to him with a grin.&nbsp; “Oh no, no…don’t worry darling.&nbsp; I won’t take this either…it might be useful,” she said with a giggle then turned her attention to his legs.<br><br>It then hit her which part of his body he would sacrifice to them in return to having his request fulfilled.&nbsp; With a small nod she smiled sweetly and walked over to a large table set against the wall.&nbsp;

				Sam moaned in his bonds, his cock perking up in response to Thorn's attentions.&nbsp; He didn't really want to hurt his girlfriend, really, he simply didn't want her spending the rest of her life worrying what had happened to him.&nbsp; Certainty was far better than doubt after all, and a sacrifice seemed a fair price to pay to do such a nice thing for his girl.&nbsp; He briefly wondered why Thorn hadn't suggested taking his ears, or his nose, and he still had plenty of teeth that hadn't yet been abused.&nbsp; He reminded himself to relay a message to that effect the next time he got more free.<br><br>Sam smiled as Thorn talked about mutilating him, even giggling a bit when she talked about cutting him in half.&nbsp; He realized that such tortures would hurt, but he was starting to enjoy being brought so close to death, having his body torn to pieces and tasting his own blood.&nbsp; His pulse rate dropped as he watched Thorn go to work at the table, a slight smile on his face as he began to prepare himself mentally, knowing he may very well lose consciousness from blood loss.&nbsp; And yet, he felt safe, secure in the knowledge that the insane women would take everything from him, and then he would die.&nbsp; His only conflict came from the fear of being weak and holding something back, of dying before he was meant to.&nbsp; Perhaps, of course, this was only a game, to prolong his death and keep him in as much pain as possible before he expired.&nbsp; Regardless, he trusted the two predators completely.

				Shadow smiled softly at his words, her eyes ablaze against the lush pooling of his gaze, wordlessly her fingers reached out for him and splayed against his chest… gently running them down across his upper body… feeling the firmness of his toned torso beneath his polo shirt.&nbsp; Her gentle touch continued lower, the lower her fingers went… the closer she leaned in against him, until she brushed against the band of his jeans and her face sat a mere inch from his.&nbsp; <br><br>She pushed forward that extra distance and pressed her lips tight to his, her eyes still burning as her fingers clawed for the hem of his shirt and began to pull at it.&nbsp; Shadow pulled back from the kiss, gently teasing his lower lip between her teeth before releasing him and pulling his shirt upwards…<br>

				His hands rest on her hips, pressing gently, feeling her robe under his finger tips. His mouth presses back against hers as she leans in to kiss him, a soft moan escaping his lips as she teasingly sucks on his lower lip. He lifts his hands over his head to allow her to pull his shirt off, before reaching for the belt of her robe, quickly releasing it and pressing his mouth against hers - this time his tongue pushing into her mouth as his hands move up to her shoulders to brush her robe off, allowing it to pool to the floor.

				He watches her walk backwards to the bed, eyes roaming over her naked, lithe body. His arousal presses at the front of his jeans and he knows thats exactly where her eyes dart. He kicks off his shoes and his pants are at his ankles in no time flat, his cock bouncing free as he straightens. Clean shaven, he walks slowly towards her, his hardon swaying with each step, lust having consumed his thoughts too. She was so enviting, and he wanted to draw every last bit of pleasure from her.

				Thorn returned from the table with a power saw, a needle full of Morphine, an iron, and tears running down her cheeks.&nbsp; After placing everything else down onto the floor and plugging in the iron, she brought the needle over to him and roughly grabbed the muscle of his upper arm, pushing the needle through the skin before pressing down on the plunger.&nbsp; “There.&nbsp; That should make what I am about to do be a little easier for you,” she whispered before removing the syringe and tossing it onto the floor.<br><br>The switch in her mind was flipped and her eyes took on intensity comparable to a tiger stalking its prey.&nbsp; She picked up the saw and plugged it in.&nbsp; Wasting no time, she pressed her lips tightly together and applied the saw to his right ankle.&nbsp; Blood sprayed into the air and onto her face leaving liquid red freckles everywhere.&nbsp; As soon as she hit the bone, she leaned into her forearms with her body and pressed down with as much strength as she could, the bone snapping under the blade.&nbsp; Normally she would have left his foot hanging by the back tendons and skin, but this was not a matter of torture, this was a matter of safety for her and Shadow.&nbsp; &nbsp;She finished the amputation, allowing his severed foot to thump onto the floor.&nbsp; <br><br>Thorn turned off the saw and picked up the iron, applying it to his bloody stump of an ankle.&nbsp; The heat slowly stopped the bleeding and she tugged roughly on the skin as she ironed the ends together, flesh melding with flesh.&nbsp; Once satisfied with her work, she repeated the entire process on his left foot, and when she was done she returned all of her tools back to the table.&nbsp; If he had made any sound throughout the entire process, Thorn would not have heard him.&nbsp; Once that switch in her mind was flipped, she was not completely there…

				Sam moaned in pleasure as the morphine hit his system, smiling in gratitude as he felt a lack of pain for the first time since he'd been strapped to the table.&nbsp; The boy gritted his teeth as the saw bit into his body, not even completely there.&nbsp; It had been a large dose of morphine indeed.&nbsp; As Thorn pressed the iron to his bloody stump, he almost felt good enough to whistle a song, in fact, he managed to get through the first few bars of "Always look on the bright side of life" before the saw started up again and severed his other foot.&nbsp; <br><br>He cried out in pain this time as the saw cleaved through his bone, realizing at the same time that even though he couldn't speak, he could sing just fine.&nbsp; Little miracles, he supposed as he giggled a little bit through the iron boiling his blood until it stayed inside his body.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the process had cost him far too much blood, and he closed his eyes, humming softly to himself as he lost consciousness, his pulse fading slightly as his marrow did its very best to resanguinate him.&nbsp; He simply laid there, his chest slowly pumping up and down, and a slight smile on his face.

				Thorn walked back over to shelving unit and opened a small refrigerator containing bags of her own blood, O negative which her and Shadow had stored there just for instances like this.&nbsp; Taking a bag, she pulled over an IV pole to Sam and hooked the bag onto the top.&nbsp; After setting up an IV into his hand and opening the valve on the tube, Thorn began the process of hosing down the tile floor, washing away all evidence of blood and flesh.&nbsp; The severed feet were thrown into the incinerator which Shadow would operate once she returned to the basement.<br><br>The saw was thoroughly cleaned as was the iron which had now cooled off, and after Thorn was satisfied with her janitorial work she glanced once more at Sam.&nbsp; His face still held the smile which told her that he had definitely entered the part of his mind that would have him committed if he was in public; all rational thought had left him, much like herself, but she had always been able to climb out of that dark place.&nbsp; One of these days though, she might not be able to and her and Shadow both agreed if that were to happen, Shadow would kill her quickly.&nbsp; The thought of ever becoming a threat to Shadow made her shudder and brought back another flashback…<br><br><em>After they had eaten dinner, Thorn, her brother, and Shadow remained at the table.&nbsp; Tim was making small talk but Thorn could not take her eyes off of Shadow.&nbsp; It seemed the girl would not make eye contact with her, and she had originally chalked it up to shyness, but there was something more…fright.</em><br><br>Blinking back the memory, Thorn turned off the main lights and left the room in darkness behind her before entering the shower.&nbsp; The hot water cleansed away the day’s adventure and the memories of her brother and Shadow and after scrubbing her skin raw, Thorn stepped out of the shower and got dressed.&nbsp; One last glance into the dark room at Sam told her he would probably be unconscious for awhile longer and she pushed the heavy door shut, wrapping him once again in complete darkness.<br><br>Upstairs, all seemed quiet and Thorn knew that Shadow had Stine in the bedroom.&nbsp; Before heading out the door, she paused to leave a short note on the kitchen counter, and then took her laptop from the closet.

				Sam's eyes finally opened after many hours of unconsciousness.&nbsp; He looked up at the empty blood packet over him, and smiled.&nbsp; He was getting to like needles, they always had such wonderful things inside of them.&nbsp; He squirmed a bit in his bonds, finding that his entire body was numb and pulsing from being restrained so long, to say nothing of the overpowering odor of blood, sweat, and urine he gave off.&nbsp; <br><br>He groaned a bot a he wallowed in his own filth, his eyes fluttering open and closed at random intervals in the darkness.&nbsp; His fingers played against the metal of the table, and he considered writing another message, but decided not to bother in the dark.&nbsp; As the lights came back on, he blinked and moaned, watching as the woman who had set him free walked down into the basement.&nbsp; He felt a surge of joy at the sight of her form, smiling like a dog given the chance to see its master after a long day of loneliness.

				Shadow slid the door closed behind her, the latch securing it into place as she made her way down the stairs and into the basement, this short trip was always like some perverse mantra for her… as though the moment the door closed behind her, she was able to leave the mask of normality at its threshold, and each step downwards she took was a step deeper into herself.&nbsp; As she reached the base of the stairs, her nostrils flared and she felt her eyes stinging at the powerful reek that hung in the room…<br><br>She quirked a brow to him, as she entered the room… her eyes taking in the wretched sight of his body caked in the spill of dried blood, sweat and yellowing piss which stained the metal between his thighs… “One of us needs a shower... and I don’t think it is me…”<br><br>Shadow ran her fingers across the seared stumps of his legs, exploring the dead meat… in her mind she could almost see the very expression on Thorn’s face as she cut through flesh and eschewed bone, the fine spray having hit across her across her face, the glistening crimson highlighting the madness that would flicker in her eyes…. Shadow smiled softly as the scene played out in her mind.<br><br>Slowly she walked across to the incinerator… there was a procedure, there always was, this was part of how they had been so able to hide from suspicion and indulge their naked desires… She flicked the switch and felt the soft churning rumble as the heat began to increase as the flames started to take hold against the flesh held within.&nbsp; “Have you ever read the book… ‘A Farewell to Arms’?” she inquired, almost innocently as she walked across to him… she reached his side and brushed her fingers across his face and softly ran them across his forehead already beaded with sweat… "How are you this morning..."<br>

				Sam sat in his bonds, smiling widely, and even wider at the prospect of a shower.&nbsp; He gurgled and gave Shadow a mewing negative response to her question about "A Farwell to arms" as the light of the incinerator danced in his eyes.&nbsp; He closed his mouth and moaned a bit more, unable to give much more than a weak smile to the question about how he was doing.&nbsp; He was quickly becoming dehydrated, and he was starving to boot.&nbsp; <br><br>These pains were only minor annoyances compared to the aches all throughout his body, which the morphine injection no longer gave him relief for.&nbsp; He squirmed a bit in his bonds, trying to get his blood flowing at least a little bit to his remaining extremities.&nbsp; He almost dreaded having the straps removed, because of the inevitable pins and needles sensation which would follow.&nbsp; Still, he smiled and looked up at his Master with hopeful eyes, hoping he would be given at least a little bit of a reward for what he had endured, like the morphine injection, and the blood they had put into him.

				Shadow stood and watched over him for a moment, there was a certain flicker in his remaining eye, something buried deep in there that she recognised, something she had once seen in herself.&nbsp; She smiled softly… had it not been for Thorn, then perhaps she would have ended up like this, but… fate has its plans for us each she mused.&nbsp; She continued to stroke across his forehead <br><br>“I must admit that when my dear Thorn told me last night of what you had…” she paused for a moment and smiled… “..said… I felt a certain… well… understanding with you, you and I are not too different, and I promise you this…” her fingers graced the side of his face as she leaned across to press her lips to his ear… “Before this is all over… I shall give you what I never was…” she pulled back and smiled to him before turning and walking to the fridge sat against the wall…<br><br>She opened it up,&nbsp; it took a moment for her to find what she was looking for, but she bought it out with relish as closed the fridge door behind her as she started reading from the back of the packet…<br><br>“I am afraid I cannot offer you much in the way of hospitality… but Modified Myer’s cocktail… filled with magnesium, calcium and a few vitamins…” she raised a brow, “Can’t say it is going to be the heartiest breakfast you have ever had, but at least it will keep your body fuelled with the basics…” She hooked it to the IV stand at his side and checked the blood plasma…<br>

				Sam let out a gasp of air, feeling strength start to return to him.&nbsp; He turned his head to the side, looking into Shadow's eyes with his own, feeling strangely warm in the cold underground chamber.&nbsp; Smelling the scent of Shadow, he suddenly became aware of how he smelled for the first time in a while.&nbsp; If he had tried to eat solid food, he would have most likely become nauseous.&nbsp; As it stood, he simply didn't have any energy to waste on trivial matters like basic humanity.<br><br>His lip quivered a little bit as he considered his position.&nbsp; He could not move, and all of his needs were supplied to him through tubes.&nbsp; It was almost like returning to the womb, except that he was dying instead of being born.&nbsp; Sam closed his eyes and pondered what exactly Shadow meant when she said she would give him something that she never was.&nbsp; It occurred to him that he didn't really know these women at all, yet he felt a very keen intimacy with them, knowing their darkest secret.&nbsp; Of course, it was one thing to know a darkest secret, and quite another to <em>be</em> a darkest secret.&nbsp; He let out a careful, measured sigh.&nbsp; Just enough to relieve the pain and discomfort he was feeling slightly.

				The drug had more then its desired effect in Stine. The skin bubbled up around the site of the injection as he lay there, sound asleep. It looked more like a bug bite then anything, and as the drug courses its way through his body, his throat began to swell in reaction, slowly cutting off the airflow to his body. His heartbeat began to quicken, trying to pump more oxygen to his vital organs, and a cold sweat broke out across his naked body. It was almost a painless death, his body tensing up, going rigid, in his death throws as he suffocated, an allergic reaction to the drug injected into his body. A few moments later, Stine was no more amongst the living.

				Shadow smiled at him, his face seemed to have been taken by innocence amidst all of the pain and suffering his flesh had had to endure. She crossed to the fridge and took from it a small carton of milk, opened it and placed a small straw in it… she put it close to his head and smiled..<br><br>“Drink it slowly…” she grinned as she moved to the stumps that ended his legs, the thin scent of burned flesh still hanging amidst the reek of other fluids…<br><br>With deliberation she started to unbuckle the leather straps that bound him to the table, safe in the knowledge that there was little likelihood of him striking out at her as she released him, besides, with the way his mind had seemingly tipped she felt a certain ‘unity’ of his thoughts… she looked up and smiled, for all intentions the face of a caring angel, albeit a dark one. With the last of his binds free, he was now able to move a little easier…<br><br>“Well, now, seeing as we will be having a ‘house guest’.” She flashed him a grin, “We had better make you a little more comfortable….” She narrowed her eyes a little…<br><br>

				Sam wrapped his lips around the straw, very carefully following Shadow's instruction to drink it slowly.&nbsp; He pulled the fluid into his mouth and carefully tipped his head back, slowly dribbling the tasty white liquid down his throat.&nbsp; The cool alkaline taste was wonderful to him, after the blood that had filled his mouth for the last day.&nbsp; In spite of Shadow's cautions, he still ended up sucking air through his straw before the leather straps were unbuckled, trying to extract more of the precious fluid from the carton.<br><br>The boy sighed with pleasure as the pressure that had been his constant companion for the hours he had laid on the table eased off of him, and he slowly jerked his muscles into motion as his restored blood moved unimpeded through his body.&nbsp; Sam smiled broadly at the mention of a houseguest, quite comfortable with the idea of having someone to share his misery or someone to show the pleasure of giving oneself to torment.&nbsp; He slowly sat himself up, his skin peeling slightly from its long contact with the metal table.&nbsp; He winced a bit with pain, confused by the strange sound the caked body fluids made as the crust pulled free of the table.&nbsp; <br><br>Having rose to a sitting position, Sam began to massage his aching wrists, a great deal of pleasure coursing through him at his unbound state.&nbsp; Shadow's kindness was beginning to stimulate his arousal, and he slowly hardened.&nbsp; He blushed at a sudden realization of the beauty of this dark angel, and he bowed his head after a brief bit of eye contact.&nbsp; She had said something about making him more comfortable.&nbsp; That probably meant more pain.&nbsp; He secretly hoped it would bring more pain, so he could see that delighted look in her dark eyes again.&nbsp; The pain itself wasn't particularly pleasurable, at least not that he had found.&nbsp; The thing he lived for, though, was that savage gleam, and the morning after, when the aches and pains turned into a sort of afterglow.&nbsp;

				She watched with the faint inklings of a smile across her lips as he rose as best he could, he made for a luridly perverse sight with his remaining flickering eye and wash of blood, and his legs that had been shorn off just above the ankles, his feet likely having been reduced to little more than unrecognisable charnel by now in the incinerator.&nbsp; Amidst this his manhood seemed to have more than a spark of life left in it, this bought her some small amusement as she watched it flicker… <br><br>“Well, we are going to need the table free, so…” she looked around, there were a number of options available and they had a few other ‘toys’ they would often employ… her eyes smiled when she thought of the best place for him.&nbsp; At the far side secured to the wall sat a frame in the shape of an ‘X’, it had been a mainstay of some earlier bondage sessions but now had found a resurgence in its life as a method of restraint and torture. “We need to get you over there… somehow.”<br><br>She drew her gaze back to him… and pondered, though depriving him of his feet was a perfect method of ensuring he would remain here in the basement, it presented her with a slight problem in moving him, as unless she was in the grip of the darkness that leeched through her mind Shadow was hardly the strongest of people… and as Thorn has slipped away early she couldn’t enlist her assistance… she bit her lip from asking him if he could walk across to it himself and instead stood close to the side of the table and softly offered to aid him in the few paces that it would take to get to the other side of the room… <br>

				Sam pulled his legs off of the table as best he could, his arms reaching out to wrap around Shadow.&nbsp; Even with the scent of Stine obscuring her scent, she still smelled wonderful, and his head rested on her shoulder for a second, giving her a small kiss where her neck met her shoulder as he embraced her, his skin reveling in the wonderful feel of her breasts.&nbsp; His grip relaxed slightly as he slowly slung a leg over the table, bending at the knee to come down on his shin.&nbsp; He did the same thing with his other leg, slowly and carefully lowering himself to the floor on his knees.&nbsp; <br><br>His eye was caught on Shadow's chest, somehow he had never really noticed the beauty of a woman, even his girlfriend.&nbsp; Yet Shadow excited him in a strange way, and he chose to ignore his feelings, slowly shuffling on his knees on the cold stone floor towards the X that Shadow had gestured to.&nbsp; His head turned slightly to a small cage, and he caught himself whimpering a little bit, imagining having a collar put on him like a dog, and being locked inside a cage except when he was to come out to play.&nbsp; The thoughts made his erection grow even more, and he blushed as he turned his eyes back on the St. Andrew's cross and shuffled even faster, moving quickly to the base of the restraint.<br><br>Sam's hands grabbed onto the cross, and he began slowly pulling his way up into a standing position, grimacing with pain as he put his weight on the stumps of his feet.&nbsp; Blood began to seep from them as he put more and more weight on the stumps, and his world was quickly becoming agony.&nbsp; He grasped a leather cuff connected by a short chain to the top of the cross, and stuck his wrist through it, pulling the cuff closed with his other hand.&nbsp; Barely a second later, his legs gave out, and his body thrashed against the cross, bruising him in several places as he hung bleeding and in pain by his wrist.&nbsp; Had he a tongue to cry out with, he would have been screaming at his self inflicted pain.&nbsp; As he did these things, his eye never left Shadow's, even when he could put no other expression on his face than one of absolute pain and horror.

				Shadow bore his weight as best she could, a slick scent of dried fluids permeated the air around him.&nbsp; She felt a sudden thin prickle against the skin on her neck as his lips touched against her...&nbsp; she smiled, as she bought her gaze to his... There was something about the deeply lost look in Sam's eyes that Shadow recognised as she assisted him from the table, something that made certain memories of her own past flicker within her as she aided him in shuffling towards the frame.&nbsp; She almost noticably winced from the effects of these memories, a sudden sharp wealth of psychological trauma that started in her head and ran the length of her body, culminating in her thigh... <br><br><em>For a moment her attention was lost... all she could feel was the fire of his touch and the burning hate in his eyes as he moved towards her... his words edged with malice and with only one intent in mind as he rose aganst her... the the fear she felt, coupled with the intensity of the pain and the river of blood... if it hadn't been for... </em> She was bought back by the slight brush of him across her breasts and she choked back the darkest memories that had sought to surface, she couldn't lose foce, not now...<br><br>Catching the soft turn of his head and, she followed his gaze from out the corner of her eye... her mouth aflicted with the faint rise of a smile as she guessed what he might have caught sight of and the effect it seemed to stir within him... she smiled as she turned back to him and caught sight of the twitching meat between his legs... she smiled softly "Seems we don't have to be too concerned about blood loss if you can manage that and stay alert..."<br><br>She watched for a moment as he made every effort to secure himself to the cross, something about it was almost noble, she was almost feeling protective towards him... as Thorn had been to her all that time ago... but the die had been cast and Sam's fate decided, and she would do nothing to hold back when the time came.&nbsp; After Sam's strength gave out, Her eyes burned against his before her own lithe slender fingers made to wrap about his wrist and push it back against the raw wood of the cross.&nbsp; With her free hand she deftly slipped the remaining leather cuff around him and pulled the buckle tight, almost to the point of blanching his hand, then she released him and stood back a moment... her eyes running the length of his body...<br><br>Shadow bought her hand up and wrapped her fingers around his throat... enough to hold his head stead fast and his body tighter against the roughened wood, but not enough to impede his breathing, her nostril flared a little as the soft subtle scent of fresh blood mixed with the cocktail of bodily fluids that already laced his skin... small cuts that had opened up as he bucked against the cross.&nbsp; For a moment she turned his head from side to side as her gaze narrowed a little, almost as though she was seeking out something, a moment later a smile spread across her face... a sense of satisfaction filled her, perhaps she had seen what she was looking for.&nbsp; It had been a while since she had felt this way towards any of their victims... for the most part they had been just flesh that would scream torturously in the in the grip of these two sadistic sirens, but Sam... Her fingers slid from his throat and gently laced his lower jaw, stabilising his head as she moved closer, for a moment she allowed her lips to touch his... a soft, gentle kiss... and on it she touch taste the rich coppery tang of dried blood.&nbsp; She pulled back and smiled.<br><br>"You don't yet realise how lucky you are... but in time... such time that is left for you, you shall.."&nbsp; She gave him one last parting kiss before releasing his head and stepping back..<br>

				Thorn opened the door to an empty living room and placed her laptop into the closet, taking one last look at it before shutting the door.&nbsp; She had considered turning it on to see if Dino had emailed her yet, but her eagerness to hear from him embarrassed her, so she pushed him out of her mind.&nbsp; Looking around for a few minutes she wondered if Shadow and Stine might have still been asleep, but then panic and protectiveness took over as her eyes stopped on the stairs.&nbsp; <em>What if Stine was not as safe as she had thought?&nbsp; What if he hurt Shadow and is now on his way to the police station?</em><br><br>“Fuck, I shouldn’t have left,” she said out loud before running up the stairs, taking two at a time.&nbsp; She threw open the bedroom door with her heart pounding and relief washed over her.&nbsp; Stine was on the bed, and apparently dead.&nbsp; Her eyes scanned his body and rested upon the injection site which was now bruised purple, allowing her to quickly discern that he had been allergic to whatever Shadow used on him.&nbsp; With a slight shrug she retreated from the room and calmly walked back downstairs.<br><br>In the kitchen she opened a drawer and took out a post-it pad, on it she made a note to order new sheets and have a new mattress delivered, before ripping off the page and sticking it to the refrigerator.&nbsp; Death was the one thing Thorn did not like to happen in her bedroom, and with a sigh she poured herself a drink and sat on the couch to await Shadow’s emergence from the basement.

				Sam gently returned the kiss, leaning forward as much as he could, which in the circumstances was more of a movement of the lips than of the body.&nbsp; The boy smiled back at his mistress, staring into her eyes as he leaned into the second kiss, feeling enraptured by the attention.&nbsp; Only as Shadow left did Sam become aware of his uncomfortable position.&nbsp; <br><br>He was hanging by his wrists, pulling his legs up to keep the meaty stumps out of contact with the ground.&nbsp; In such a position, he was effectively crucified, able to breathe easily only when he rested some weight on his stumps.&nbsp; Fortunately, he could still breathe while hanging, but the strain on his arms was terrible.&nbsp; Despite the slow torture, he felt better in this position, blood flowing through his body and giving him life.&nbsp; He also got a certain thrill from the way he hung on the rack like a piece of meat, his body proudly on display.&nbsp; He swallowed a bit, tasting the fiery pain of his throat as he simply hung there limply, lowering himself to ease the strain every so often.

				Shadow turned to leave, giving Sam one last... almost playful smile before she slipped from sight and made her way up the stairs towards the house, with each upwards step she took she freed her mind from the dark tendrils that laced it every time she took the journey into the depths of the basement.&nbsp; Normally she would have a shower each time before she left this room, an almost ritualistic act of cleansing herself of the pain and darkness as much as the blood and sweat that would lace her lithe body, but there was no need for that this morning... Sam's painfully written note had served to prolong his demise for a while longer and save him the same fate that had met his feet, for a while at least. <br><br>As she walked up the stairs, she could still feel a faint aching in her body and her eyes felt a little heavier than normal, the previous night had seemingly taken it out of her and she had gotten very little sleep... coupled with her eagerness to return to Sam in light of the new developments.&nbsp; She moved her hand across the locking mechanism of the door, there was a near silent hiss as the panel slipped from its mountings and slid into the recess.&nbsp; Shadow blinked a couple of times at the dawning light that filtered through the windows and scattered across the floor, she stepped through and felt the door slip shut and locked firmly behind her, a smile played on Shadow's lips as she suddenly caught sight of Thorn sat across the couch with a drink to hand.<br><br>"Good morning Thorn love... how was your morning then?"<br><br>It was then she caught sight of the expression in her face, soft and subtle as it was... there was definately something that had concerned her, perhaps something had happened whilst she was out, for a moment Shadow felt her heart pound as her mind conjoured up the very worst case scenarios.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>"What's wrong?" Shadow quirked her head a little to the side as she spoke, a waver of concern entering her voice.

				Thorn silently took a sip of her drink before looking up at Shadow’s concerned face.&nbsp; She considered allowing Shadow to venture upstairs and discover Stine herself, but then thought that to be cruel.&nbsp; “You look tired sweetheart, did you at least get some action from him before he died?” she asked in a flat tone.&nbsp; This was not the first time one of them had made a mistake, but when mistakes happened Thorn took charge immediately, turning their roles around.&nbsp; If a mistake was made it always fell in her lap to fix things, and after her wonderfully normal morning at the café, fixing a mistake was not something she looked forward to.&nbsp; <br><br>Shadow knew she was less than happy and an apologetic look washed over her face.&nbsp; With a sigh, Thorn stood up and motioned for her to come over and when she did, she wrapped her arms around her.&nbsp; “It’s okay Shadow, I’m not angry,” she whispered into her ear before pulling away from the hug and locking eyes with her.&nbsp; “We have a date tonight, and our new maid is coming over at 3pm tomorrow.&nbsp; Let’s go take care of the meat in our bed…then you need to take a nap,” she said sternly then softened her expression with a smile before pressing her lips gently against Shadow’s.

				Shadow started to feel a creeping concern leach through her, her eyes narrowed a little towards Thorn as her mind began to turn over all sorts of possibilities... she felt a edge of the paranoia, the self same emotion that used to consume her back in the days when they first met, back when she had little control over her own destiny as it lay almost entirely within Tim's grasp.&nbsp; Finally Thorn spoke, her words hammered hard against her... Shadow's mouth fell open, her lower lip trembling a little as she ran Thorn's statement over in her mind, trying to get it to sink in...&nbsp; <br><br><em>He was... dead... how could that be, she was sure the dosage was correct, she had administered it so many times before...</em> This was completely unexpected and knocked her of kilter a little.&nbsp; The rim of her eyes started to well with a wetness as she looked on in silence at Thorn as she sat across the room from her<br><br>As Thorn stood, Shadow couldn't hold back the swell of tears from her eyes and she felt a trickle of moisture roll down the flushed skin of her cheek.&nbsp; It wasn't the fact that he was dead that upset her, after all they were the very dealers of death, rather it was the the feeling that she had let Thorn down.&nbsp; The woman who had saved her, who had bought her back from the brink and right now Shadow felt crushed by the weight of her own mistake.&nbsp; She was shaking softly as she met the embrace of her lover, her arms wrapped about her waist and her head nestled against her shoulder, she took some solace from Thorn's gently whispered reassurances but she was far less forgiving with herself.&nbsp; Shadow's eyes rose to meet hers and she gave a weak smile as she spoke of their 'date' and the potential employee and nodded softly at her instruction...<br><br>Shadow felt the sudden warmth of her lips as they touched against hers, her eyes closed as she gently returned the quiet passion laced within its embrace..."I am so sorry Thorn..." her voice little more than a whisper as their lips parted, Shadows eyes still closed from the soft union they had shared.

				“Now, let’s get done what needs to be done, and when you nap do so in the guest room.&nbsp; I wouldn’t want your beauty sleep disturbed by demons,” Thorn said as she gave Shadow a cheerful smile.&nbsp; Seeing her lover’s sadness and shame made her feel guilty and right now she just wanted to get Stine out of their bedroom.<br><br>They walked up the stairs silently together and entered the room in the same fashion.&nbsp; Shadow had stopped just inside the doorway but Thorn pressed onward, immediately getting down to business.&nbsp; She released the fitted sheet from the mattress and pulled both sides over Stine’s lifeless body before shoving him over onto the floor.&nbsp; His body hit with a loud thump and Thorn looked up at Shadow with a grin, “He’s a heavy fucker isn’t he?”&nbsp; Her lighthearted tone seemed to finally lift Shadow’s spirits and the gleam returned to her eyes as she finally approached the wrapped body.<br><br>With much effort, they both lifted the body and began to make their way down the stairs.&nbsp; As they reached the bottom, Thorn gently placed her end of the load onto the floor and straightened her back.&nbsp; “Shadow…we really need to get a man around the house,” she said letting out a loud sigh before pressing the mechanism to open the basement passage.&nbsp; Shadow seemed to possess much more physical strength than Thorn and she had to wonder if maybe she was getting to old for this kind of labor.<br><br>When they finally reached the top of the basement steps, Thorn grinned at Shadow and began to count, “One…two…three!” before they both swung the body and allowed it to make its own way down the stairs.&nbsp; With girlish giggles, they ran back to the bedroom to remove the rest of the bedding, intending to burn it along with Stine’s body.

				Shadow smiled softly... despite the weight of her miscalculation and carlessness, and the distaste of a death in their bed, Thorn was still looking out for her, it had been like that from the moment she had discovered the dark secracy that laced Shadows involvement with Tim... if it hadn't been for Thorn's compassion then... well... things could have turned out so differently.<br><br>She was unable to resist her lips curling into a sly smile, the playful gleam in her partner's eyes and the dispassionate humour of her comment gave her a flicker of a sense of normality as at last the fingers of guilt released their grip about her.&nbsp; It was a struggle as they wrestled with the stiffening body down the stairs and towards the secret entryway... she watched as Thorn tried to work the kink from her back, as she did so Shadow smirked at her comment...<br><br>"Yes... it would be good to find a man who wasn't a dead weight..." her eyes flicked to the corpse swathed in the sheet and a darkly humoured grin fleetingly played on her lips.&nbsp; With the glistening sheen of perspiration laced across her forehead, she struggled with Thorn to get him to the top of the flight of stairs... and on the count of three she released her grip and they watched as he bounced down the steps towards his final destination, Shadow wore a dry smile as she watched his final journey, knowing that the noise would certainly have alerted their other 'guest'.&nbsp; Her eyes returned to Thorn's, all regret in her expression now lifted as they sealed the way behind them.<br><br>As Shadow moved back towards the main stairs, her face contorted in a giggle, her foot caught against a bag that lay propped against the table leg.&nbsp; A momentary flicker ran through her expression as she bought her gaze to meet what she had just clipped with her foot.&nbsp; It was a bag... rectangular and black, she reached down for it and felt the solid weight within... she smirked as she put it on top of the table... It was Stine's laptop.<br><br>"Guess he doesn't have any use for it anymore..." Shadow smiled softly...as she followed in Thorn's wake up towards the bedroom...

				After they stripped the bed, Thorn carried the comforter while Shadow handled the bundle of linens and they headed back down the stairs and into the basement.&nbsp; Shadow had flipped the light switch and they both entered the room after stepping over Stine’s dead body.&nbsp; Thorn absentmindedly began to sing to herself, “C’mon baby light my fire,” as she opened the hatch and tossed in the comforter, moving aside to allow Shadow to throw the rest of the linens in.&nbsp; With nothing but a side glance at their resident prisoner, Thorn walked back over to Stine’s body and sighed loudly.&nbsp; “Well, let’s get him in.&nbsp; This room is starting to stink like piss…I wonder if we should put a diaper on our baby over there,” she said as she nodded her head over to Sam.<br><br>Shadow did not reply as she knew Thorn was being sarcastic and still in a bad mood about the bed.&nbsp; They hoisted the wrapped body up and shoved it into the incinerator.&nbsp; They stood with their arms around each other’s waists for a few minutes watching as the flames engulfed Stine’s body.&nbsp; “Good riddance!” Thorn said then turned to Shadow, “Now I think you should go take that nap.&nbsp; I’m going to clean up in here, then order us a new mattress and check our email.&nbsp; Hopefully none of our…friends have backed out on us”.<br><br>Thorn watched as Shadow retreated back up the steps then looked around the room before going into the bathroom and filling a large bucket with warm water.&nbsp; It was time to get rid of the stink, so that meant someone needed a bath and since Thorn was a neat freak, she would happily oblige.&nbsp; Humming to herself as she added body wash to the bucket and a large sponge, Thorn thought back once again to the day her and Shadow bonded.<br><br><em>Blood covered her body and thorn had no idea where it had all come from.&nbsp; She slowly led the silent Shadow into her bathroom and began to fill the tub.&nbsp; “I am so sorry Shadow…I didn’t know…I swear I didn’t…know,” she whispered through tears as she started to peel off Shadow’s clothes.</em>

				Shadow smiled at the impromptu rendition of a classic, and the sarcasm laced words of her partner as she regarded the new adornment to the basement wall with a critical eye... the smell was getting somewhat pungent and at the moment, her normal state of mind could do little to block it from her delicate sense of smell.&nbsp; It was curious, she mused, that when in the grip of the dark haze, which so often she was down here, that the mixed scents had little effect on her... in fact at times she even drew stimulation from them.<br><br>Shadow nodded softly towards Thorn... she was exhausted, partly physically, but perhaps most of it was mentally, it had been a draining day and and the last thing she wanted to do was look like death warmed over for when they went out and met any of their... appointments.&nbsp; She softly motioned a kiss towards her and set off up the stairs without glancing back...<br><br>As she slipped back through the secreted doorway, she shrugged off the stench of death that she felt had tainted her from handling the meat in the basement.&nbsp; She had at last stopped blaming herself for the mistake, having taken some comfort from Thorn, like she always had when things had gotten too much for her... and in her mind had begun to blame him, for having an inherent weakness and allergic reaction to the drugs.&nbsp; She rolled her eyes, hardly a wonder she had found strength in the arms of a woman when all the men around her seemed either abusive or weak... with a soft shake of her head she made for one of the bedrooms...<br><br>As she began to climb the stairs, her eyes drifted towards the laptop bag that she had placed on the table after kicking it.&nbsp; With a wry smile she scooped it up and took it with her and set off up the stairs and along the corridor towards one of the other bedrooms, usually the reserve of guests.&nbsp; She opened it and threw the case down onto the bed where it bounced slighlty before she set about peeling off her own clothes... for a moment she felt a little uncomfortable being naked and went to the cupboard and dug out an oversize tee... not particularly attractive or did it do much to accentuate her figure, but all she wanted was the respite that came with sleep...<br><br>As she settled down, she flipped open the laptop lid and powered it up... it would need recharging soon enough, but there seemed enough residual power to at least take a look over her new toy...

				Thorn carried the bucket back to the room and placed it near the unconscious Sam.&nbsp; After surveying the room once more, she decided it would be easier to start cleaning it, instead of him first.&nbsp; Her first task was the table…Sam’s first stop in their basement.&nbsp; She donned rubber gloves and began to scrub away the now dried blood and urine from the table, rinsing it off with the hose afterward.&nbsp; As she was spraying the filth on the floor towards the center drain an extremely unpleasant scent assaulted her nose, causing her to grimace.&nbsp; She knew exactly what the smell was and some incoherent grunts and babbling from Sam confirmed it…he had just taken a shit.&nbsp; Thorn rolled her eyes then let her eyelids close for a few moments before turning around to face him.<br><br>She would have admonished him, perhaps even belittled him, but the glazed look in his eye told her he wouldn’t hear a word she said.&nbsp; “Always on my watch…they always end up shitting on the goddamn floor when Shadow isn’t around,” she grumbled as she walked over and raised the hose.&nbsp; She considered hitting him with the usual forceful stream of water, but decided against it…the probability of watery shit flying into her face made the decision for her.&nbsp; She turned the nozzle to a gentle spray and then began to rinse off the stench from Sam’s body.&nbsp; He gave a small nod of what seemed appreciation before closing his eye once more and allowing his head to drop.&nbsp; The sight of him crucified to the wall didn’t sit well with Thorn for some reason.&nbsp; Perhaps it was sympathy…perhaps it was the meeting with Dino this morning…but Thorn finished hosing him off then went into the storage room to find a few things.<br><br>A cheap cot, a length of chain about three feet long, two padlocks, and a thick leather collar were the items she now carried back in with her and dropped onto the floor.&nbsp; To the left of Sam was a metal pole that housed a large ring around it which slid up and down easily.&nbsp; To this ring, Thorn attached the chain using one of the padlocks, placing the key in her pocket.&nbsp; She then pushed the cot over against the pole and opened it up.&nbsp; The thin rubber pad that was supposed to be a mattress was already covered with a white sheet and she looked down at the makeshift bed with satisfaction.&nbsp; Now to move Sam…<br><br>Thorn walked over and released his arms from their prison, allowing him to fall to the ground.&nbsp; After taking a few steps back she pointed to the cot and said only one word, “Crawl”.

				Sam let himself lean into the cleaned off floor, resting his head against the cool stone as he heard Thorn order him to the cot.&nbsp; He took several deep breaths, enjoying just being able to breathe clearly again as he raised himself up, rising onto his hands and knees and crawling slowly towards the inviting looking cot.&nbsp; He felt quite excited about the entire situation, realizing that Thorn at least had come to trust him enough to let him sit in a far less restrictive position.<br><br>His mind raced with the possibilities of being able to turn over as he lied on his back, to be able to go into a corner when he had to relieve himself.&nbsp; He could even touch himself if he liked, or dash his brains out against the pole.&nbsp; Sam bowed his head, realizing he was being given a frightening amount of responsibility and control.&nbsp; He turned towards Thorn and rubbed his cheek against her leg, like an affectionate pet, before crawling towards the cot, placing his still undamaged hands on the rubber surface before looking towards Thorn for her to instruct him on what he was to do next.<br><br>The thin rubber felt like the most comfortable silk he had ever touched, and he realized it would be heaven to lie on a wonderful bed like this.&nbsp; He whimpered hopefully towards Thorn, finding the anticipation of having the collar placed on him agonizing.&nbsp; He wanted more than anything to please the woman, not merely because it increased his comfort as he took more and more pain, but also because of some strange love he couldn't articulate.&nbsp; One of his hands pulled away from the cot, and he looked down at it, realizing just how much he had changed.&nbsp; He now thought of the hand as merely another part of him that could be ripped away, one that he could control.&nbsp; If he really wanted to, he could have easily trashed away at his own throat until his neck broke, or bit through the veins and arteries in his hand until he began to bleed out, yet he didn't, because he owed some debt he could not describe to these two women, for the kindness they had shown him.&nbsp;

				Thorn looked down at Sam curiously as he rubbed his cheek on her leg then watched him crawl over to the cot.&nbsp; With a grin she was made aware of the fact that his tongue must have been forced out of his ass by his bowel movement and clearly was washed down into the drain along with the shit.&nbsp; Still holding the grin on her face, she walked over to Sam and rubbed her hands down his back gently.&nbsp; “I am going to put a collar on you.&nbsp; You may move about as you wish, but I would advise against doing something stupid, especially with Shadow around,” she said as she lightly kissed his neck before placing the collar around it and locking it with the padlock.<br><br>Leaning over his body from behind she felt a sickening in her stomach as she realized she was becoming aroused.&nbsp; As her mind fought against her body she leaned her head on his back and allowed her hands to wrap around him, caressing his chest and slowly moving down to his shaft.&nbsp; Wrapping her hand around the base she began to slowly jerk him off as her mind left the scene.&nbsp; “I think I will make you some rice pudding.&nbsp; I make great rice pudding with just the right amount of cinnamon…but no raisins because Shadow does not like raisins.&nbsp; And maybe even some beef stew.&nbsp; Would you like some beef stew, Sam?” she asked as her hand began to slide up and down his now hard cock faster.&nbsp; <br><br>The sound of the phone ringing upstairs brought her mind back and she abruptly removed her hand and stood up quickly.&nbsp; She was done cleaning the basement and this was not the time to make their new pet feel special.&nbsp; “Finish yourself off Sam, just don’t make a mess,” she said coldly and then after checking the padlocks and making sure she had both keys, she took the bucket and wrapped up the hose.&nbsp; She poured the unused water from the bucket out onto the floor then left the room without another word.<br><br>Upstairs, she closed off the basement, leaving the lights on and went to check the message on the phone.&nbsp; Unfortunately it was only a telemarketer trying to convince them to have the newspaper delivered at a discounted price and with annoyance, Thorn slammed the phone down then went into the kitchen drawer to grab a pen and paper to create a shopping list.&nbsp; Once the list was done, she placed it on the refrigerator and went to pull out her laptop to check her email, after which she would shower then wake up Shadow.<br><br>With a sigh, Thorn read the two emails which stated neither of their appointments were going to show up tonight.&nbsp; Not bothering to reply back to them, she read the next email with amusement, apparently someone thought they were looking for an assistant...strange.&nbsp; With a shrug she responded quickly to the email then noticed that there was one more.&nbsp; As soon as she read who it was from, her heart skipped a beat and she looked towards the stairs to make sure Shadow was not on her way down before quickly typing out a reply to Dino.&nbsp; After she was done, she closed her laptop and put it back into the closet before trudgng upstairs to shower.&nbsp; Instead of going to the bar, she would bring Shadow to the cafe for a late dinner and maybe, just maybe they could find another victim as they had found Sam.

				Sam smiled as he was touched, enjoying the attention he was getting.&nbsp; He moaned appreciatively, a childlike smile on his face.&nbsp; As Thorn placed the collar around his neck, he leaned into it, barely able to contain the feeling of closeness he felt to his captor.&nbsp; His cheek brushed against Thorn's wrist as she closed the padlocks, his warm skin brushing against hers.&nbsp; He barely even heard her words, feeling as if he understood her meaning just from her touch.<br><br>The boy began to breathe much faster as she embraced him, his cock coming to attention and throbbing.&nbsp; When Thorn's fingers wrapped around him, his entire body seed to twitch, particularly his penis.&nbsp; He gave a low moan that was almost a howl, rising in pitch as she stroked him harder and faster.&nbsp; Sam was in a state of pure bliss, listening to Thorn talk about dinner, responding to her question with a high pitched vocalization that was definitely an intentional howl in the affirmative.&nbsp; <br><br>Sam barely suppressed a moan of disappointment as Thorn pulled away, heating up more as he was told to finish himself off.&nbsp; He nodded enthusiastically and scrambled up onto the cot, curling into position to get to his task.&nbsp; He was told not to make a mess, and his chain didn't reach to the drain, so he knew only one way he could fulfill that mandate.&nbsp; His hands grabbed his thighs and pulled his face towards his cock, as he struggled to get himself into position.&nbsp; He had done this before, in private, and felt he should be able to finish.<br><br>His lips, after much exertion, reached the head of his cock, and he wrapped them over the head, caressing it.&nbsp; He pulled and struggled, inserting more and more of the shaft into his mouth until finally he had pushed the entire head inside.&nbsp; He could not breathe, and his back hurt, but that meant nothing to him now.&nbsp; His head bobbed over his cock as his muscles got used to holding the position, freeing a hand to run up and down the shaft.&nbsp; Mercifully, he did not last long, and blew out a load of cum into his mouth.&nbsp; He gingerly suckled himself, thrusting his head back as he swallowed his own seed, finding the tasted strange.&nbsp; He pushed the head against his cheeks, flexing them as he tried to make sure all of the cum was cleaned out with his teeth.<br><br>He relaxed himself back into a normal curled up position, starting to feel strangely guilty as his arousal faded.&nbsp; He began to recall vague memories of being a human being, of actually having a voice.&nbsp; A cloud of depression began to roll in over his bliss, and he fought against it, simply enjoying the sensation of lying on the cot, being able to scratch his itches.&nbsp; He rolled over, trying to draw security from the collar around his neck, from the will of Shadow and Thorn.&nbsp; Finally, he found something to draw off of, as he realized he simply wasn't human anymore.&nbsp; <em>"Good Doggy."</em>&nbsp; He thought to himself as he patted himself on the head, taking deep breaths and letting his humanity flow out of him, simply focusing on being a purely physical being.<br><br>Finally, the words of his thoughts slipped away, as he slowly repeated mentally to himself.&nbsp; <em>"I'm a good doggy, I'm a good doggy, good doggy, good doggy, doggy, doggy, doggy..."</em>&nbsp; His eyes closed and he drifted off to sleep, dreaming simple dreams of food and obedience, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.&nbsp; His eyes still held a spark of self preservation, yet they also had a frightful simplicity, a gaping hole where a person's cunning should be.&nbsp;

				A flash of darkness coursed through her fitful mind, caught, as it were in the dire webbing of some nightmarish encounter forged from the distant sparking of some repressed memory.&nbsp; Shadow shifted in her sleep, her body gripping in the thrall of a spasm as the bed sheets wound about her, her legs twisted through it and her body glistening with sweat… formless murmurs braced on her lips as she tried to pull from this night terror that stalked her…<br><br><em>The wall lay tight at her back…her eyes, which had once known only a grip of playful light, now knew nothing other than the touch of fear… their light all but dimmed.&nbsp; His cruel tone still rang in her head, stinging her thoughts almost as much as the shuddering strike that drove into her flesh, lacing her face with the warming wash of crimson that ran down the contours of her face and gently pattered to the floor in the darkness.&nbsp; Her eyes were fixed against the advancing menace, his eyes piercing and distinct against the encroaching swell of black.&nbsp; Her body was bruised, her mind was battered… she tried to pull back from him but the she had nowhere to go…she whimpered softly as his fingers suddenly clawed at her throat… gripping tightly and crushing the air from her whilst knocking the back of her head against the wall…<br><br>He bought himself closer… his eyes burning with a mix of hate and twisted pleasure, a look that he always seemed to mask against his sister’s gaze… his sister… Thorn… Oh god, how she wished she could see into her eyes, see the dark torment that stalked them in every waking moment.&nbsp; Her senses sparked at his darkly whispered threat… he pulled his hand back… Shadow clawed air back into her lungs as she crushed her eyes shut and braced herself for the inevitable…</em><br><br>She jolted harshly awake… her lithe body twisted amidst the sweat sodden sheets as the last flickering images of her dream filtered through her waking mind as she lay there… eyes wide and staring hard at the ceiling, her chest heaving with each fitful breath that she drew…It was a few minutes before she could drag her gaze away form the hard focus of the ceiling and a few moments more before her mind finally convinced her that it was merely a slideshow of the past that had inflicted her dreaming thoughts… and that Tim was gone from her life.. …<br><br>“Shit…” Shadow hissed softly as her head flicked to the side and caught the gaze of the clock… it was later than she expected, she had no idea where Thorn was... perhaps still in the basement, maybe downstairs or perhaps getting ready… but she was aware that they had things to do and so extracted herself from the bed.&nbsp; She looked across to the laptop, its latent power having long since left it and the screen now blank, she scooped it up, closed the lid and set it to recharge.&nbsp; She pulled the oversize tee from her and grabbed a gown from the closet before leaving the bedroom and crossing the grand landing.&nbsp; She smiled as she neared the bathroom, from within came the gentle hiss of water from the shower and beneath the door, the gentle rise of steam…. There were of course other bathrooms… but…she bought her knuckles up and softly rapped against the wood.<br>

				Thorn heard the soft knock on the door and smiled before acknowledging it.&nbsp; Even with the number of bathrooms in their house totaling four, Shadow and her always ended up sharing this one when they got ready to go out.&nbsp; When she heard the door open and close, she peeked out from behind the curtain and grinned “I just need to rinse my hair and it’s all yours…or you can come in now and get started,” and then put her head back and allowed the water to run through her hair.&nbsp; <br><br>Shadow had stepped in behind her and pressed her naked body against Thorn’s.&nbsp; “Our appointment has been cancelled, my love,” she said as she turned around and placed her hands on Shadow’s shoulders, gently turning her around.&nbsp; As the water washed over them both, Thorn massaged shampoo into Shadow’s hair and leaned in close to her ear.&nbsp; “I’ve decided that maybe we should take a look at the boy’s girlfriend…then afterwards we’ll go piss off Valerie and grab a bite to eat,” she whispered before placing a light kiss on her neck.&nbsp; Thorn stepped back a bit and watched as the soapy water flowed from Shadow’s hair down her back and between her buttocks.&nbsp; She trailed a finger down the stream before putting her arms around her waist and pulling her closer.<br><br>“Did I ever tell you how beautiful your body is?&nbsp; How much I want to just stand here with you and ran my hands all over you?”&nbsp; Thorn said as she dragged her mouth down Shadow’s neck and onto her shoulder.&nbsp; Her bare breasts against Shadow’s back sent chills through her, but she knew they had to go out soon before the café closed.&nbsp; With a disappointed sigh, Thorn gave her a lingering kiss on the cheek then stepped out of the shower and wrapped herself in her robe.&nbsp; <br><br>As Shadow finished her shower, Thorn sat down at the vanity and applied her makeup and then left the bathroom to get dressed.&nbsp; After pulling on a pair of jeans and a black sweater, she went down the stairs to make a phone call to the mattress company.&nbsp; Once the mattress was ordered and set to be delivered tomorrow, Thorn sat on the couch and waited for her lover to descend the stairs.<br>

				Shadow smiled softly as Thorn peeked from within the shower as she made her way into the shower room, its air laden with the warming mist of steam… She smiled and flexed her shoulders, allowing the robe to slip from them and pool at her feet, exposing her body, her soft pale… almost delicate frame was home to some deep scars, but never seemed to have lost her feminity along with them.&nbsp; She walked across to the shower and slipped into it, for a moment feeling the glide of her body against Thorn’s as they shared the confines of the heated stream that flowed across them both.<br><br>At hearing their appointment had been cancelled, Shadow sighed softly.&nbsp; After the recent events and the distant memory of her error still flickering in her mind she had a certain need to work out a little of the angst that lingered, a deeper brushing of darkness that had leant across her soul and spoken of its need for fulfilment… and she needed to fulfil this call when it spoke to her as the results&nbsp; of not succumbing to its will had often seen her take to the depths of the basement on her own and try to work out the pain that fettered across her with the edge of a knife, a far from perfect solution.&nbsp; &nbsp;Though, she was heartened at the thought of checking out Sam’s girl and a grin played softly across her face as her eyes sparkled at the thought of what this evening held, something promising, of that there was little doubt… and besides the thought of pissing off Valerie held no end of sport for her and caused a smile to crease her lips. <br><br>“I like the sound of that…” Shadow turned her head to the side and smiled, catching a glimpse of Thorns delicate features as her fingers worked across her shoulders, her head lolled backwards as her eyes flickered shut, giving her body over to the sensations of her touch as her naked breasts brushed against her back and her fingers continued to soap through her hair… <br><br>She felt her skin blush at Thorn’s words, her eyes closed against the stream of warming water that flowed across them as her lips brushed a tender path along her skin, eliciting a soft gasp from her lips as she gave herself over to the soft sensations that drew over her skin.&nbsp; From that first moment Thorn’s touch had been able to soothe and calm her, had been able to reach deep into her… For a moment her mind was taken back to that first time… the time she first felt Thorn’s fingers play across her naked skin in the soft warm wash of water, only that time her pale flesh had been a mosaic of purple bruises and barely healed cuts, she had winced each time her fingers caught against one of her fresher injuries, despite the delicacy laced within her touch, the air had been silent between them as she washed the blood from her body, each mark against her borne by the hands of her brother… <br><br>Shadow pulled herself, somewhat reluctantly, from the shower and slowly ran the towel around the contours of her body, drying herself off as her mind mused over the possibilities that lay mapped out for the evening.&nbsp; She felt almost privileged to be a part of Sam’s journey into the darker realms, she couldn’t have know when her eye fell upon him across the square that within him beat such dark promise… that there was something she felt she shared with him, as the darkness began to wrap about him and his mind began to descend into what would be looked upon as insanity, it seemed as though he had tapped upon something that, given the true course of his life, he would never have reached.<br><br>She withdrew to the bedroom and began to look for something that would be apt considering there change of location, her fingers fell towards a pair of jeans, the thigh of the one leg was shredded and exposed a little of the pale skin beneath, ironically it was her unscarred thigh that was exposed, the other, which bore scars in a similar patter to those rent through the jeans were thankfully concealed from view.&nbsp; She slipped into these, pulling them across the contours of her hips and after fastening a black lace bra, she opted for a black tee depicted a Goth bunny with a bloodied knife behind its back… she smirked at the irony… She closed the door behind her and made her way down the stairs, catching the look in Thorn’s eye and casting a smile…<br>

				Thorn stifled a small laugh at the sight of Shadow.&nbsp; The two women were such a vast contrast to each other that it continually amazed her that they have come together.&nbsp; Shadow’s choice of attire many times made Thorn feel her age, but yet the way the younger of the two carried herself, one would think she was far more refined and mature than Thorn.&nbsp; “You look absolutely adorable, Shadow,” she said with a grin and then walked over and kissed her lips lightly.&nbsp; “Perhaps one day I can try to dress a little…younger,” she said before laughing heartily and turning towards the kitchen to call a cab.<br><br>She adored Shadow and there were very few times that she looked upon her as being much younger than herself…but none like the day in her bathroom.&nbsp; That day, Shadow looked like a scared child who had seen the boogeyman…that day, Thorn finally realized that her own brother was indeed…a monster.&nbsp; With a loud sigh at the memory, Thorn picked up the phone and called the cab company, and then led them both outside to wait in the crisp evening air.<br><br><em>To the Town....</em>

				Sam's eyes opened as he sat on the cot. &nbsp;He felt good. &nbsp;He was in pain instead of agony. &nbsp;He opened his mouth, but no words came out. &nbsp;He hadn't been fed, and felt a terrible thirst, casually looking around the dungeon and noticing the hose. &nbsp;A few seconds later, he'd drunk his fill, feeling a bit strange that he'd simply passed out with all the lights on. &nbsp;His fingers pressed against the cot as he lifted himself back onto it, scrabbling along the wall as he leaned over towards the light switch. &nbsp;It was just slightly out of his reach, and the pain which was his constant companion welled up yet again as he finally grabbed the switch and plunged himself into darkness.<br><br>The room was not warm, and the clammy darkness was complemented by the smells of various bodily humours. &nbsp;None of them were overpowering, yet it seemed that some kind of essence of misery and terror hung about the chamber. &nbsp;Sam turned over, the chain digging into his skin as it wrapped around his body, and he idly wondered whether there was a massive pit lurking somewhere in the darkness, to complement the blade from above that was slowly and methodically disassembling him. &nbsp;Every day, he lost more and more of himself, gradually being pulled towards oblivion. &nbsp;Was there any point to this destruction? &nbsp;He again turned over, trying to free himself from the chain wrapped around him.<br><br>He was here of his own free will, he knew that much. &nbsp;He wasn't afraid to die anymore, and he wasn't afraid to kill. &nbsp;He wanted, in a way he couldn't articulate, to take the world apart in the same way he'd been destroyed, to strip away that layer of fat which the ignorant call courage and ravage the muscles of the human soul. &nbsp;The girls had said he was lucky, and he loved them, yet he wondered just what had happened to the others. &nbsp;Who could be so weak that he could not accept the process of annihilation? &nbsp;He wondered, though not in words anymore. &nbsp;Whatever being bided its time in the dungeon, it had nothing in common with the boy named Sam who had entered the dungeon. &nbsp;He felt the stumps of his legs, admiring the slowly blooming lattice of scar tissue creeping over the stumps. &nbsp;In just a few short days, he'd be able to walk again, although not in the way a human being walked. &nbsp;It would be a painful sort of canter, filled with agony at ever step, and yet, that would make whatever he was walking towards worthwhile. &nbsp;
