Page 9 of Avenging Laura

“Yeah, but you’ll make it to hell before I will,” Laura quipped, moving to sit up.

“Ah, such confidence from someone that can’t even sit up without assistance right now. Ziegler, bring our guest back to her second home. Get her ready. We have guests that will be chiming in soon.”

“Oh goodie. More people to add to the hit list. At this rate, I’ll be busy for the next twenty years. Good retirement plan for me,” Laura quipped as she grunted when Cyrus’s minion, Ziegler hoisted her up roughly.

“Kind of hard for you to have a hit list since you’ll be a dead bitch soon.” Ziegler laughed as he half dragged, half pushed Laura out of the room toward the area they had set up as her torture chamber.

“Never said I wouldn’t be. But I definitely won’t be going alone.” Laura coughed as pain coursed through her body from the movements she was being forced to make.

“I have to give you points, bitch. You’ve held out longer than any of the other whores the boss has put in this position. Most give him what he wants after just an hour or two. You’ve actually been fun to try and break.” Ziegler laughed as he hoisted Laura’s tied wrists onto the meat hook.

“I was going to say hard to give an asshole what he wants when you don’t know what he wants. Since you said he wanted to break me, he’s going to have to try harder. My parents and ex-husband have tried that for years and have failed. So, good luck!” Laura spit blood onto the ground as she tried to catch her breath.

“Challenge accepted,” Cyrus said cheerfully as he walked into the room.

“We’ll see if you meet it,” Laura challenged, tilting her head from side to side.

“Oh, don’t worry, Laura Renee. He will meet it.”

Laura lifted her head toward the screen where the voice came from. Ah, their guests were going to be via screen.

“Aw, look, if only we had Mummy and Dominick, we could say we’re one big happy fucking family. Oh, wait. We can’t because Dominick and I’d rather put a bullet in your heads. Hello, Daddy-o and waste of jizz. How nice of you two to join in the fun. Let me guess, afraid of being here in person?” Laura mocked cheerfully as she rolled her eyes at seeing her father, David, and her younger sister, Maria, on the screen.

“Afraid of what? Really? You think we’re afraid of you, the one hanging from a meat hook. Now I have to admit I have missed your wit, big sister. It has always been your biggest downfall.” Maria Pratt smirked as she leaned back in her seat on the tv screen.

“Actually, Maria, thinking you’re better than everyone has always been your biggest downfall. I’m surprised at how this dynamic works. See, from my gathering of intelligence in all this bullshit that’s been going on since the day I found out about you two assholes and this ‘Arrow’ shit that, Maria thinks she’s in charge.” Laura laughed, only to have to stop and cough when her body was racked with pain from the movement.

“Oh, but I am sister dear.” Maria clapped as she crossed her legs on screen.

“Yeah? For how long? See, my intel shows how Daddy-o really feels about women. They are beneath him. They are beneath men. Ole Cyrus here? He has the same thoughts that the sperm donor has about women. We are nothing but tools for their dicks and we are to obey them. You’re just a tool for the feds and other intelligence agencies to stay off their trail. Something tells me the little brats time is coming to an end. Tell me Cyrus, you made mention that I removed an obstacle from your path to the top. Which obstacle was that because Maria seems to think she’s the top dog and yet you’re the one doing their bidding like the little puppy she considers you to be.”

“Enough! She’s wasting our time. Let’s get this started. We have a meeting to get to.” David Pratt smacked the table, glaring at Laura through the computer screen.

CHAPTER TEN

“What’s the matter,David? Too chickenshit to be here in person to do your own dirty work?” Laura huffed before she grunted in pain as Cyrus punched her in the stomach.

Laura refused to give them what they wanted. She knew exactly what they wanted her to do. It was the same thing that Jon wanted their entire marriage when he would hit her.

They wanted her to cry out. Beg for mercy. They wanted to break her. Make her nothing. She refused to give them that glory. She fought far too hard and for far too long to become the woman she was today.

“You will break, Laura Renee. You’re too weak like that whore of a mother you have. You’re not my daughter. I have several children, your brother being the first of many. Your mother was a whore who cheated on me when I turned to another when she didn’t want to do her wifely duties. You’re the product of an affair your mother had with another Marine. If it wasn’t for that bitch you have for a grandmother, I would have sold your ass a long time ago.” David seethed on the tv screen, glaring at her full of hatred.

“Eh, explains why I’m smarter than you two put together. I’m going to add to your torture for making me take up for theincubator, but you want to call her a whore? Have you looked in the mirror dude? You cheated on Mom every fucking chance you got. Asshat standing next to me is proof number two. Shane was proof number one. I actually like her. Two for two isn’t so bad since it’s obvious Dom and Shane take after their incubators while tweedle fucktard and tweedle cuntface take after you.”

Soon as her statement was completed, she was grunting as Cyrus and Ziegler rained a series of blows about her body. All she could think in the process was ‘damn that was probably going to leave a mark’ or ‘that’s going to hurt for a bit’.

“Once you’re gone, I’ll be able to bring Dominick to heel and he will come to our side of the track, Laura. He will be working for me,” David commented, smirking her way.

“The only thing you’ll ever get from Dominick, if you manage to kill me, is a bullet to the head. That man despises you more than I do and that’s saying something. You’ve tried for years to bring him to your way of thinking, and you’ve failed each and every time. Like always.”

“What’s really going to be fun, sister dear, is once you’re gone, sending your body back to that husband of yours. I’m going to rejoice in watching him break in knowing he couldn’t save you. Then I’m going to make sure his entire team is taken, have my fun with them, then I’m going to force him to watch as we take your children and then allow our boys to have fun with them. There’s not a fucking thing you can do.”

Laura started laughing. She leaned her head back and roared more with laughter as she used her arm to attempt to wipe away the tears from laughing so hard.

“What’s so funny, bitch?” Maria glared at Laura for her laughter.

“You! The fact you think you or any of your minions will be able to get even a millimeter close to my kids. Right now, they are so closely protected, you’d be lucky to even get a whiffof their scent and that’s a huge if on that. You forget who my teammates are. Not only them, but who my husband is.” Laura laughed, coughing as her body became wracked with more pain.
