I have no clue.
The second goal was to find my mother’s rapist and punish him for everything he did. My little secret no one could know about because it was my revenge.
It’s my right to end him and find my little sister.
It became a fixation and obsession on its own, and for me to succeed, I needed to be intelligent, cunning, and the best at whatever I decided to do.
Only a clear head would have allowed me to learn. However, going to my father to let him teach me was out of the question.
Since I acted as if I didn’t remember shit about my past, they believed me and tried to hide their dark deeds from me. Aileen doesn’t know anything.
I do, though.
So when the urges to inflict pain on those who deserve it became too much, I went to the only person I knew would help me, even if it meant going against my father.
Uncle Arson.
My father’s most loyal friend uses fire as his favorite weapon, torturing his victims until he burns them alive, and he enjoys every second of it. Half the time, even his friends consider him crazy and prefer to stay away, and not everyone can watch him play in his dungeon.
I mean, his own wife was his captive once. He saved her from a cult, became obsessed, and the rest is history. It’s a good thing Aunt Callista loves him, or Dad would have had to kill him.
My father operates an underground brotherhood that explores their vices in the darkest ways, torturing those who deserve it the most and making no apologies for it. Dad found all my uncles on the streets at different stages of their lives, but they’d all already stepped onto the dark paths by then. He just channeled their desires in the right way so they wouldn’t kill an innocent.
However, he warned them that should they ever lose their heads, harm a woman or a child, or try to force themselves on anyone in a physical way…he would kill them.
Strangely, Uncle Arson recognized my tendencies and didn’t even act surprised when I came to him.
In fact, it seemed as if he expected me.
The only thing he warned me about before stepping on this path is that it’s for forever, and if I ever start killing innocent people for the fun of it…he’ll end my life.
For him, that was a generous offer, probably for my father’s sake, so he wouldn’t have to be the one to end me.
My father and his friends are a lot of things…however, merciful, they are not.
Two years ago, I expected him to start teaching me by explaining how to use the weapons. To my surprise, he made me work on my stamina instead.
Long laps in all kinds of weather, swimming endless miles, hiking, and learning how to fight till I wouldn’t be able to breathe. Combined with my football practice, I lived and breathed sports, which alarmed my mom, but it helped clear my head.
He taught me how to shoot well, how to differentiate different types of guns and knives, and what specific torture devices there were to kill someone in the most painful ways.
How to cover up my tracks and leave no fingerprints, and start designing my own dungeon, because I could never kill someone wherever.
As he said…what he did was an art form that required strategy and intelligence, and if I acted like a blood-hungry idiot, he’d feed me to the alligators.
Once again, I believed him.
I mean, one of his friends has a lion as a pet. You do not question Uncle Arson.
Finally, he allowed me my first hunt.
A man who used to rape women and got away with it all the time because he belonged to the elite.
Killing him became the highlight of my existence as it brought me a step closer to killing Robert.
“Robert.” The man speaks up, snapping me out of my thoughts and bringing me back to the present. Ken swallows hard and chokes on his blood a little when he does so, then spits on the floor. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he cries out when I press the knife hard against his collarbone until it breaks the skin and penetrates his flesh. “Okay, okay. I remember something. Please stop.”
He’s my only link to Robert as of now because no searches gave me a name. I even asked Uncle Arson for help, and he couldn’t find anything.
