No Strings Attached

CHAPTER 50

"I need to sit down," Everett mutters, walking slowly over to a table and pulling out the chair before taking a seat. He toys with a gun which was on the table, playing it over in his hands before idly pulling the trigger and sending a bullet flying into Leonardo's thigh.

He scream from the pain and I can't help but laugh at his overreaction, even I didn't scream like that when he shot me.

I whistle to myself as I walk over to the table, seeing an empty bottle by the table leg. I smash it against the table before walking over to Leonardo and slashing it through his thigh, ripping his bullet wound open.

"You fucking bitch," he seethes, his chest rising and falling as his eyes swim with pain. His eyes suddenly roll back in pain as Ari slams Leonardo's head into the ground. "Don't speak to my daughter like that," he says, his voice scarily calm.

"This is bullshit," Griffon announces, "Let's have some fun with this then leave," and I feel the corners of my lips tilt up as my eyes fall to the table assorted with different tools.

"As we've already determined, you are nothing without us," Griffon muses, opening and closing a lighter in his hand. "And now you'll be no one to anyone for as long as your body is on earth," he grins, the lighter producing a flame as he walks over to us and grabs Leonardo's hand.

"So no one can identify him," he explains, throwing me a wink before he puts the flame to Leonardo's fingertips.

I wince at the combination of the sound of Leonardo's shrieks and the smell of burning flesh.

I smile and look up at Ari as he throws an arm around my shoulder, hugging me to his side as the sound of Leonardo's shrieks deafen all other sounds.

"He's such a fucking baby," Everett scoffs, walking over to us as him and Griffon share a look.

"I agree, I'm kind of sick of listening to him cry like a little baby," Griffon muses, dropping Leonardo's now charred hand.

They grin wickedly at each other before Everett grabs Leonardo's mouth and forces it open. Griffon whistles to himself as he pulls out Leonardo's tongue and starts fucking burning that too.

"Nasty," I laugh, sticking my tongue out as I fake gag, earning a sharp laugh from Ari.

Leonardo's screams soon transform into unpleasant gurgles, making me deeply uncomfortable if I'm being honest.

Soon Everett drops Leonardo's head, clapping his hands together as Gabriel wanders back over to the table. "Target practice?" he asks, holding up an assortment of knives.

"Yeah I think my aim is getting a bit rusty," I sigh, walking with Ari and the twins over to the door.

Gabriel rearranges Leonardo's chains, forcing him to face the wall as he uses Leonardo's blood to paint a target on his back. Gabriel whistles as he brings the knives over to us.

"Me first," I say in a sing-song voice, humming to myself as I pick up a knife and turn to face Leonardo.

I close one eye as I focus on the target on his back, deftly tossing the knife in his direction. I throw my hands up in victory as the blade wedges itself directly in the middle of the red target.

"Nice shot Ana!" Ari says proudly, giving me a high-five as he takes a smaller knife from Gabriel.

He lets out a low whistle as he throws the knife, watching intently as it soars through the air and lands just above my knife.

"Ooh so close," Everett chuckles, taking a switch blade and immediately sending it flying. I wince as it lands in the middle of Leonardo's shoulders, "I think your aim is a bit rusty," I laugh, only laughing harder as he shrugs.
