XLV *NOT EDITED*

Karma

"Karma wait!" Iggy yells from behind me, my eyes move from Sister Jude who's curled up in a ball on the floor to where Iggy's voice came from, when our eyes meet he looks so upset, but why would he be upset? He was fine when we were at Vincenzo's parent's house. I look behind him and see Vincenzo, his mother and Stefano arguing amongst themselves so I look back to Iggy and sigh "It's what needs to be done Igloo, like it or not I need to do this for me". I twist my fingers in Sister Jude's hair again and begin to drag her towards the doors that she had just walked out from, it's time for me to face my fears one last time. I stop and grab the bag that Sister Jude's still clutching onto, she's not going to need the money once I'm done with her, I look to Frankie and throw it at his feet. "Buy the land and the other thing I asked you to buy for me, the rest is your pay for driving me here".

He looks down to the bag and back up to me with a shocked look on his face before nodding his head slowly, I turn back to the doors and begin walking. I move arm to open the front door but someone else hand opens it for me, I look to my side and see Iggy standing by my side with a small smile on his face. I look back to the door as it creaks open and I'm instantly reminded of everything I was put through in this god forsaken place, it still smells the same, it even sounds the same I think to myself. Wait... why does it sound the same? I look down to Sister Jude who looks like she's about to shit herself, "This place is still open and running?" I ask raising my eyebrow at her, she says nothing but wears a small smirk on her face.

The smirk sets off something animalistic in me and my first response is to smash her head into the ground before spitting on her face, she cries out in pain as her skull bounces off of the ground. "You think this is bad? This is only the start" I laugh, "VINCENZO" I yell not bothering to look at him, I can hear his footsteps approach me slowly unsure of my next move. "I need all the guards you can get, cars, food, water, medical equipment, clothing everything. Whoever's left is to be moved to a hospital, I want them taken care of by the best doctors and nurses, once they're back into good health they will be coming back here to a new safe home, do you understand me?" I ask finally looking over my shoulder to him.

"Done, do you want to put my jumper on so you're not as exposed?" He asks looking me up and down, I look down and see I'm still only wearing the button-up shirt and underwear, am I cold? Hell yeah but I don't want anything of his touching me right now, maybe I should give him back the wedding ring too just to see the look on his face, "No" Is all I reply, his eyes look hurt but his face is emotionless only giving me a small nod before walking back to his mother and Stefano.

"Iggy can you pick this piece of shit up and take her to her office, Vin's mum knows where to go, I need to see how many people are here and what condition they're in" Iggy nods and bends down picking up Sister Jude and throwing her over his shoulder, Vincenzo's mother comes up to me next resting her hand on my shoulder "Don't try-" I begin but she cuts me off "I know you need this angel, we both do" Her voice croaks, I look to her and her eyes begin to fill with tears making me want to breakdown, but I cant, not now anyway, things need to be done first. "Iggy take her to the office please, I'll be there soon, also if you see any workers, kill them. And Mama have some fun with her, but keep her breathing and conscious for me".

I watch as Iggy and Vincenzo's mother walks in and up the staircase to the office, "Hades!" I call out, he comes rushing to my side loyal as ever, I'm going to need him for this. I take a deep breath and officially take my first steps into the building, it's freezing in here just like how it used to be. The sounds of people screaming, moaning and groan fill the empty rooms and hallways causing me to shiver in disgust, as if this place is still functioning. "I'm so sorry," A soft voice says from behind me, I look and see Stefano standing in disbelief, "Are you sure you want to do this?" He asks and I know he's not talking about buying the place, he's talking about Sister Jude and what's in store for her, "I need too" I reply looking back to the hallways. "You ready?" Vincenzo's voice asks this time, I can barley bring myself to look at him so I just nod my head "If you see a worker I want them dead, only the paitents walk free".

They nod their heads and follow me in silence as I walk upstairs to the office that once belonged to Sister Jude, I push open the heavy wooden doors and see and shaken Sister Jude sitting on the ground with her head in her lap, "Mama" I speak looking to Vincenzo's mom, "Remember you have first dibs, but leave her breathing for me. Iggy make sure the cunt stays alive" I hiss looking in Sister Jude's direction. I walk to the desk and jimmy open the drawer that holds all of the patient's files, I grab them and hand them over to Stefano and Vincenzo before making my way out of the office and back down stairs where I see the first nurse that's going to meet their fate tonight, but before I can pull out any type of weapon a gunshot rings out right next to my ear, I look and see Stefano smirking to himself "1 – Stefano 0 – Ace" He laughs.

Once downstairs I go from room to room checking that the patients are still alive and that their information is the same as the information next to their 'rooms' more like prison cells. Soon enough our guards begin flooding the building and taking our new patients to a hospital, taking their time to make sure we haven't missed anyone, gun shots occasionally ring out around the building as people continue to find nurses. Surprisingly I haven't found a guard yet, I wonder where they're hiding. After I'm satisfied that our guards are doing their job correctly I leave Stefano in charge of making sure everyone's removed and relocated safely, but I have to admit, I'm scared that there are some people that aren't going to make it to the hospital they don't have much time left.

"You ready?" Vincenzo asks, I nod my head and begin to walk up the stairs to Sister Jude's office, faint cries come from behind the office door and I know that Vincenzo's mother is finally getting her revenge. I open the door slowly and sneak in standing next to Iggy who's practically laughing, "How's it going?" I whisper to him, "Fucking amazing" He replies in a giggle, I turn to look at Vincenzo who's staring at his mother as she repeatedly punches Sister Jude's face while cursing at her in Italian. I stand in silence and wait for her to finish, she throws one final punch and sighs "I've wanted to do that for so long" She hums to herself before looking to the three of us, she smiles and picks up her handbag before walking towards the doors "I'll be downstairs when you're done".

I continue to lean against the wall and wait until the heavy doors click shut before taking a deep breath in, closing my eyes and attempting to relax myself as much as possible so I don't get too excited and kill her quickly, she needs to feel this. "It's surprising Jude, when I was here the place was swarming with guards and today I haven't seen one. But that's okay my men will find where they're hiding and they will meet the same fate as all of your workers", She laughs causing me to open my eyes and push myself off the wall I was leaning against "Figlio del Diavolo 'Devil Child' they were only here for you after you left so did they" She laughs, I can hear Iggy and Vincenzo talking to each other behind me but I keep my focus on the monster in front of me.

"Well today I'm here for you, and I can promise you, you wont be leaving his building, well not alive anyway. I've thought about this moment for all my life, at first I was going to demolish the building with you inside, but that's too quick a death. Then I thought I would let your paitents have a few minuetes with you alone, but I figured they're probably too scared to do anything to you even if we were to tie you up so you couldn't move, so then I thought what if I just let Hades rip her apart" I stop to smile and bend down to cuddle him as he sits firmly at my feet, "But I dont want him to eat any poisinous rotting flesh, he only gets the best meat to eat".

I stand up straight and walk towards a large oak cupboard that used to chill me to my bone, but I'm not on the receiving end of it this time, I'm not scared of it anymore. I open it up, my skin crawls at the memories of being hit by bamboo sticks and whips for a punishment, the instruments are still covered in others blood just like I remember. I run my fingers over the different whips and sticks humming as I go "You see Jude, the last blood that these are going to taste is yours. You're not going to hurt another soul". I grab the bamboo stick that's scared parts of my skin and smile running my fingers up and down it, "Tie her up" I ask looking over my shoulder to the boys. Iggy hesitates to move but Vincenzo doesn't, he walks over and picks Jude off the floor standing her upright and pushing her towards the wall that has chains hanging on it.

I watch in amusement as he turns her around and handcuffs her to the chains "Isn't this all too familiar Jude?" I ask with a smug look on my face even tho she cant see me. "Out" I grit through my teeth as I stare down my prey, "Are-are you sure?" Iggy's voice asks from beside me. "Out" I repeat. I wait until I hear the door close and look to see that the room only contains Jude and I, I walk towards Jude and take the key chain out of her pocket, as if she still keeps them there. I walk back to the door and lock it so no one can disturb us, Hades jumps onto the office chair and sits down watching the both of us intensely waiting for the next move.

I grab the letter opener out of my underwear band and begin to cut off Jude's clothing, trust me the last thing I want to see is some wrinkly tits and ass but I need this to hurt and penetrate her skin, no bullshit. She begins whispering prayers under he breathe as I remove the rosary beads from her neck, I put them around my neck instead and take a deep breath before clearing my throat. "One lashing for every paitent you currently have in this hellhole" I grin to myself, I hold onto the bamboo stick as tight as I can and position my body taking a deep breath in, I look to the list of names on her desk and read out the first name as I let that breath out "Rosa Romano" I swing my arm and hit her back as hard as I can, she screaches in pain and it's music to my fucking ears.

"Arnold Russo" I speak again before swinging the bamboo stick into her back, she cries out and begins to beg me "Please stop, I'll do anything" and all I can do is laugh "Please stop, I'll do anything" I repeat in a mocking tone of voice "Isn't that what we all said to you? I'm pretty sure everyone that has been in this room has begged you to stop and you never did. What was that response you always told me?..... Oh yeah, it's all God's plan" I smirk before reading off another name and smashing the bamboo against her back, I watch as blood drips down her aged skin and onto the polished floor underneath her. 50 names later and the bamboo stick breaks on the last name on the list as if it had finally fulfilled its job. I drop the shattered stick and grab the bullwhip next "Now these, these are for everyone you killed on this property".

I aim the whip towards her legs and calves, the sound of the whip-cracking echos around the room as it connects with her upper thighs, she tries to scream but no noise comes from her just a soft croak, I reposition myself and crack the whip again this time hitting the back of her ankles and ripping them open with ease, her legs give out and she dangles from the chains on her wrists, "Don't give up so easily Sister, there's still a lot more I need to do". There's no amount of bullwhips that will ever make up for the amount of life that's been lost here but I can hurt her as much as I can, right? So I aim for the sweet spots, her ankles again, the back of her knees and thighs, her shoulders and arms all the way up to her hands, and of course over the lashes from the bamboo from earlier. Chunks of skin begin to pull away from her body and I decide that's enough of the back of her body, it's time to turn her around.

I unlock one of her arms and spin her around to face me, she's still conscious but can't seem to make any more noise, that's a shame maybe I can get the piggy to squeal again. After I chain the arm I had undone I walk around her desk and find a red texter, I take the cap off and draw a bullseye target on her face for later. Throwing the texter to the other side of the room I walk back to the cupboard and choose my final weapon, one I have been saving for this moment, one that traumatised me the most out of every experience in this place. Electrotherapy.

I get the machine out and hook her up to it just like she did to me, I place the head piece on her and take a step back sitting myself on the edge of the desk, Hades jumps up from the chair and sits next to me as I turn the machine on, a high pitched noise fills the office before it goes quiet. I turn the voltage on to the lowest setting and watch as her body jolts alive with electricity, her eyes open again and she beings to scream, ah she's very well still alive, so I begin to sing a little song to her, "Guai a te, oh terra e mare Perché il diavolo manda la bestia con ira Perché sa che il tempo è poco Che chi ha intelligenza calcoli il numero della bestia Perché è un numero umano Il suo numero è seicentosessantasei 'Woe to you, oh earth and sea For the Devil sends the beast with wrath, Because he knows the time is short, Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast, For it is a human number, Its number is six hundred and sixty-six'".

After a minute or two I move it to the next setting, this time her body stiffens and she's barley able to make a noise again, I remember the pain her teeth and jaw would be clenched shut right now, her breathing would be rapid but it would feel like she's getting no oxygen in, her skin would be burning as well as her brain would be rattling inside her skull.

Hades and I watch in amusement for another minute or two before moving it to the next level, this level would make it feel like her bloods on fire as well as her skin, now she would feel like she cant breath at all no matter how bad she tries, her brain would feel likes it's melting too and her teeth and bones would ache from the pain. I stare as she's completely vulnerable, unable to speak or yell for help, unable to move as her body violently shakes and jolts, I can imagine the pain fo the electricity as well as her raw skin rubbing against the wall from her lashings tearing open the wounds over and over again.

"do you want to hear another sone Jude? Sciogli queste catene, amico mio Ti mostrerò la rabbia che ho nascosto Perisci il sacramento Ingoia ma niente è perdonato Tu ed io non possiamo decidere Quale di noi era dato per scontato Fare ammenda Alcuni di noi sono destinati a sopravvivere Entra, guarda il diavolo in me 'Undo these chains, my friend I'll show you the rage I've hidden Perish the sacrament Swallow but nothing's forgiven You and I can't decide Which of us was taken for granted Make amends Some of us are destined to be outlived Step inside, see the Devil in I'".

After a few minutes I turn the electro machine off her body goes limp and she begins to breathe deeply trying to get her breath back, I reach for something that was used only on me, not one other person and I know this monster has these here in case she ever got her hands on me again. After my lashings Jude would throw lemon juice and salt on my wounds to 'clean them', so I do the same "Do you remember cleaning my wounds, Jude? Cause I do" I hum happily as I open the bottle of lemon juice, I walk towards her and pour the juice down her back, this makes her scream out, ah you can still yell I see. "just let it clean your wounds Jude, it doesn't hurt, stop being such a little bitch" I hiss as I grab a handful of salt and move my hand to her back before rubbing it vigorously into her skin as I begin to sing another song "Il diavolo è andato in Georgia, cercava un'anima da rubare Era in difficoltà perché era molto indietro Ed era disposto a fare un patto 'The devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin' for a soul to steal He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind And he was willin' to make a deal'".

She groans out in pain before she says something in almost a whisper, "They're going to find you, and you'll be reunited with your mother soon enough" She ends it with a small chuckle and I fucking lose it, I turn the electro machine on again and set it to the highest voltage, I stand back and stare as she shakes uncontrollably again. they're not going to get me, and if they do I'll rip each one fo them limb from limb, I'll find their families and kill them too, I'm not a child anymore I'm a grown-ass woman who can take care of shit by herself, I've been hurt over and over again and this is my time for revenge, this is MY time to shine and trust me when I say I'm going to take care of shit.

Because I'll find them before they ever find me.
