Page 125 of F*ck It Out With A Devil

“But the good thing about being a Devil of Cliffside is that nothing stays hidden unlesswewant it to.“ I shout.”Hey, man, what the fuck do you think you’re doing?” A low-life degenerate shouts.

“So great of you to ask, Christian. Since you were the one that pulled the trigger using that very gun to kill Blake’s father.” I smile, but it’s far from pleasing as Blake looks between the two of us.

“What are you saying, Dash?” Blake’s voice quakes as the question leaves his mouth.

“What he’s saying is that you guys weren’t picked randomly to become Devils of Cliffside, you were chosen by the very situations life put you in to become one of us. Your test is to prove to us that you do belong by killing the one responsible for the worst thing that’s ever happened to you using the same weapon they did to end your loved ones’ life.””What?” Felix barks.

“This can’t be true.” Gabriel shouts.

“You’re just fucking with us.” Zeke growls as realization sets in that his best friend beat his sister to death with his bare hands.

Each one of them takes turns looking around the room in disbelief, not wanting to believe what we found to be true. It was hard enough trying to figure out where to start first, but when we did, nothing could keep us from the truth. By any means necessary.

“I’m not sorry to say that we are indeednotfucking with you all. We are The Devils of Cliffside, and we always get what we want, and we wanted initiates who not only had something to prove but with a tragedy we could help them to set right. Men who know how to be ruthless when they need...“ I begin, but I’m cut off.

“Did you kill my mother?” Gage whispers.

“Dude, listen to me. These guys aren’t your frien-”

“Did you kill my fucking mother, Roe?” Gage yells, pushing Robert down to the ground and wrapping the rope around his neck.

“Gage.” He whispers.”Answer the fucking question. Did you kill my momma, Robert?” Tears are streaming down Gage’s face as he looks into the eyes of his once best friend, but now will become his dead enemy once he hears the truth.

“I- I had to-” His words are cut short because Gage begins to pull the rope so tight around his neck, causing his eyes to pop out of his head while he starts clawing at it. “Pl- please.”

“You don’t deserve to breathe the same air as me.” Gage grunts, replacing the rope with his hands. He squeezes tighter and tighter until finally his neck snaps like a twig.

“I see Gage didn’t miss the assignment. Anyone else want to beg for their lives before your now ex-best friend takes it all away?” I clap my hands together, ready to see some action take place. “Hey, Fred, get in here and clean up this body.” I whistle, shouting loud enough for her to hear.

“I don’t see why I’m needed right now, there’s only one dead body here.”

“You keep talking back and it will be two.” I grunt. “Why did Wells send you here in the first place? Aren’t you supposed to be figuring out how to cheat death where he’s involved?” I mumble at her.

“He kinda got tired of me, and I made him almost pull the trigger.” She says, shrugging her shoulders.

“Right. Go wait over there until the bodies start hitting the floor.” I shoo her away as I hear yelling.

“So, let me get this straight.” Felix growls, shaking uncontrollably as he grabs Christian by the throat. “You slit my sister’s throat?”

“No, I didn’t.” He struggles within Felix’s hold, but starts to laugh as he confesses to his crimes. “I fucked her as she begged me to spare her pitiful life.” He bites out before Felix unleashes his own form of hell on him.

“You son of a bitch!” He lets out a roar so loud, the glass around us begins to shake. Then, he stabs Christian repeatedly, first in the stomach, then his arms and legs, all the while Christian is laughing.

“Killing me won’t bring back the sweetest pussy I’ve ever tasted, and I’m not sure I’d want her back. She was too needy.” He laughs, coughing up blood. “But she served her purpose.”

“She was innocent!” He lets Christian fall to the ground as he climbs on top of him, stabbing him multiple times in the chest. “I’ll give you the same end you gave my sister.” He pulls the knife from Christian’s chest and swipes it back and forth over his throat, nearly severing his head. “I hope you rot in hell, mother fucker.” He says, getting off him and spitting on his dead body.

“Felix, Gage, come with me, please.” I hear Fred’s soft voice ring out, wrapping her arms around them as they look but not see her. They could be in shock, but that will wear off and reality will set in about what they had to do. Once I give them more background as to what had to happen, they will see it for what it really was.

“Once the rest have been taken care of, get the cleaning crew in here to dispose of the mess. Then you and Fred bring the guys back to the house.”

“You got it.” Mark calls out, walking away from me.

I stand back and look around the room and see mayhem being unleashed. I don’t feel bad one bit because this is how we test their loyalty. Our fathers didn’t do this type of initiation when it was our time to be inducted in. Thank God we don’t follow in any of their footsteps because they are not good men, but we are, and we will be the change that will define and put us on top of this chapter.

“Fred!” I yell, and she comes jogging over.

“What?” She sounds very annoyed with me.
