Chapter 105: Aurelio

I ran the blade slowly down her skin loving the way the blood poured down and over her skin. I could hear her screams through the mask and I couldn't help but breathe it in the sound itself. I had missed this while she was gone, the sound of pain and longing ringing through the air. I knew what she was seeing right now because I was the one who programmed whatever it was she saw. I knew that this one would be the one that would really begin to break her. I had just needed to make sure that her walls were starting to fall before I threw this at her and it was finally the time. My pet had always been one to care about others more than herself. Constantly doing whatever she had to do to keep others out of trouble even if it got her into it. I knew I had to use that weakness against her, it would be the only way to really destroy her. She was strong, but she wouldn't be strong enough. I watched the monitor making sure to only cut her where the ghosts of her past touched her. This wouldn't work if she felt pain when no one was touching her, it would ruin the illusion. The whole purpose of the machine was to get the subject to associate pain with those they saw inside the mask. The young boys fist hit my darling in the simulation at the same time my flesh meets hers. It was so satisfying to hear the crack that came from her ribs as the impact cracked them. Her cries of pain grew louder and she begged the boy to leave her alone. "CORBIN! Corbin please, I didn't mean for this to happen. I never wanted you to die, I loved you just as much as I did anyone else. I never wanted you to leave me, I wanted to see you when I walked through the pack and see you there with your sister. Please DON'T DO THIS TO ME!" Her shrieks filled the room as I continued to tear at her flesh. My watch buzzed signaling the end of the hour of brainwashing, and I ended the simulation. As I pulled off the mask while simultaneously unlocking the chains that held her in place. Tears were flowing down her cheeks and I could see the walls falling in her eyes. "It's okay he's gone now, I'm here….I saved you from them. I won't let anyone else hurt you ever again. I only do what's best for you and I will kill anyone who tries to take you away from me." She clutches my shirt and sobs into my shirt using me as her comfort and I loved it. This was what I was going for….all this was going perfectly
