THE VICTIMS CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE
I didn't move an inch while Aida put one ensemble after another in front of me, trying to determine which would appeal most to Lord Lothaire's sense of style.In the end, I found myself wearing a deep crimson silk shirt that appeared to be missing several buttons at the top, causing it to flop open and expose my breasts, a black lace bra with matching underwear, the most uncomfortable black leather pants man has ever created, and a pair of the most uncomfortable black leather pants man has ever created.In addition, she wore a wide silver belt, shiny black high-heeled boots that caused pain in my ankles and calves and black leather cuff bracelets that encompassed most of my forearms.Next came the earrings. Aida used a little cannon quite similar to the one that Lord Lothaire had used to set my tag to pierce my ears because I had never had that done before.When I looked in the mirror at the end product, I couldn't believe I was looking at myself. I couldn't believe it.The naive youn
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO
"Are you two crazy?"You intend to assassinate the king?" Aric questioned, unable to believe what he was hearing. "Are you crazy?"Emily was startled by his question as he glared at her in the mirror. "Who is our father?"It's possible that he was around when we were conceived, but he's not our biological father, his sister remarked angrily.Aric said in the same fiery manner, "It may be," but that does not imply that we must murder him."No," she said in agreement, "not only that," but for everything else he's done to us over the last century and a half... for that, we do!"Aric uttered the word "Fuck" as he swerved his vehicle to get it back on the road and came dangerously close to losing control as he drove over the twisting mountain pass. "I agree that he's a jackass, a lousy parent, and an even worse dictator, but murder him?"Emily let out an angry sigh, knowing she had no choice but to play her ace in the hole. "Okay," she said. "Even if you don't hold him responsible for what
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE
Aida showed me the way to the elevator and pressed the button that would take me to the highest floor.As it moved closer to whatever new version of Hell Lord Lothaire had in mind, I began to experience some strange sensations.The dazzling lights over my head gradually transitioned from pure white to a kaleidoscope of hues as they continued to alter.As I held out my hand, I observed the droplets of color as they spread across my skin and moved up my arm toward my shoulder.When the colors got to my throat, I started to taste each one individually. There was a lovely banana, in addition to green apple, blueberry, and cherry.Next to her, Aida said, "Liberty, are you experiencing any symptoms of illness?"When I turned my head, I could just make out the woman's outline through the blur of colors moving over my field of view."I'm alright," I exhaled, even though I was approaching my destination. I felt really calm.I had to squint to see that she didn't truly believe what I was saying
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR
Aric was fuming as he grasped the driving wheel, his knuckles growing white as he clenched his fists tightly. "You've known for a week that mum is being detained against her will, and you didn't tell me?"Emily retorted furiously, "Dude, we haven't talked in months! I didn't know if you would even accept my call!"Aric said defensively, "I phoned you exactly two months ago on your birthday.""Right," his sister chuckled angrily, "a complete five-minute phone call during which there were at least three minutes of awkward silence involved. Yeah, that was a call to remember."As the three people in the automobile got closer to the light on the horizon, a profound quiet descended upon them.After a prolonged period of stillness, Aric sighed and muttered, "I'm sorry."Emily's response was, "I know, dummy." "We just need to figure out how we'll get mum out. I'm sure dad has the place buzzing with guards," said the daughter. "We must figure out how we'll get mom out."Henry said to the two o
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE
I couldn't help but chuckle as I leaned into Aida for support since my legs felt like they were turning into rubber.I said, "Were you aware that colors have strange tastes?"Although Aida did not respond to my question, she did give me a goofy grin.While watching a butterfly flit over her head, I told her, "I mean it; colors taste strange."When the elevator doors opened, I spotted my new acquaintance Lara standing on the opposite side, with a substantial man supporting her arm.I cried, "Lara!" before collapsing into her arms and giving her a bear hug. "I missed you!"The man looked at us and said, "Oh crap." Lara, what did you gift her for her birthday?I couldn't help but chuckle as I grabbed Lara by the hands and pulled them until the other person let go of her. "She gave me a hug, stupid," I said.We were grinning and laughing as we went around in circles together, which caused the folks around us to look at us as though we were completely nuts.I wanted to share my finding wit
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX
As the queen cast her gaze at Aric, Henry, and Emily, the three remained still.Lady Leanor glared at each of them with her blue eyes, demanding to know "why in the world" they had attacked her bodyguards. "Why in the world would you three assault my guards?"Aric's angry response was, "We thought we were saving you." "We thought we were saving you." You deceived Emily by sending her secret messages, telling her that your father had misplaced your wallet and that you were being kept hostage.His mother sighed with relief as the anger and rage left her body. "Oh," she said.She stated this while staring at her children with a sorrowful expression. "I'd given up on you two ever finding it out," she said, glancing at her children. "So I changed tactics. I discovered a means to interact with the outside world and contacted some of my previous supporters."She proceeded by coming forward and saying, "With their support, I was able to replace your father's guards with my own one at a time,"
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN
When I came in the middle of the night, I felt like I had spent the previous night sucking on a pair of old sweat socks.I had to brush dry gunk out of my eyelashes before they would open, and when a bolt of lightning flew through my brain, I immediately wished I had kept them closed. I had to rub dried gunk out of my eyelashes before they would open.A woman's voice could be heard above me saying, "Good evening."I cautiously opened my eyes, hoping that it wouldn't hurt as much as it had the last time, and as I glanced up, I saw Aida staring down at me with concern in her eyes."How are you doing?" she inquired. "I'm OK."The only sound that came out of my mouth as I turned away and buried my face in my pillow was an audible "ugh."I could feel the edge of the bed sink as I listened to her sigh, and she said, "Yeah." "It appears that Lara gave you one of the special tablets she manufactures," you said."Here," she said, handing over a cup, "sip this."I could see, through the cloud o
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT
While Leanor and Aric waited for her connections to return to her, Leanor asked Aric, "Tell me about Liberty." Aric responded by telling Leanor about Liberty.Henry and Emily had left him behind with his mother to go get Aric's car, leaving Henry all by himself with his mother.He leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees as he continued, "I don't know how to describe her." He went on to say that she was unlike any other human he had ever encountered."She's a living being?!" His mother sputtered, her eyes widening in surprise as she stared at him."Yeah," he said while lowering his head in shame.And you say that you adore her?" Leanor questioned, her voice becoming more conciliatory."I do," he nodded.And do you know whether she loves you?" She prodded, attempting to gain a better understanding of the problem.Aric heaved a sigh and lowered his shoulders as he said, "I don't know." He thought she may, but it's possible that she was just doing what she believed she needed
