Echoes of Desire

Echoes of Desire

6 Man Down

Cameron’s POV

“She’s really pretty”

I was stalking her socials when I suddenly saw a picture of her with a guy. His hands slightly touched hers and it made my blood boil. I became irritated at the sight that my queen was with someone else, with their skin touching each other.

I want to kill him, but I don’t want her to know. That thought kept lingering in my head. I couldn’t resist the urge to kill him in my mind repeatedly. Stabbing, shooting, and cutting off his hands, punishing him for his audacity to exist beside her. How dare he touch my queen?

I grabbed my phone and dialed a familiar number. When the person at the end of the line picked up, I spoke. “Kill a guy for me.” I coldly said. “It’ll cost you.” The guy said. “Name your price.” I nonchalantly said as if money is just a number.

“20 million pounds and you’ll have his head on a silver platter.” What he said made me smirk. I’d like that. My queen will be mine and only mine. No one can touch her but me.

"I want him to suffer, but don't end him just yet. Wait for me to join. I want the pleasure of seeing him beaten to a pulp with my own hands," I said. The line went quiet for a while before Cillian spoke. “Sure! Is that all?” He said. I was about to end the call when I thought of something. “Before you bind him, cut off his hands,” I said and dropped the call, not waiting for his response.

…………

The screams of pain roared and filled the 4 corners of the room. Blood dripped from my knuckles. But the blood was not mine. I looked at the guy kneeling in front of me as I towered him. I grabbed a pair of pliers from the table beside me. I signaled a guy to hold him. “Open his mouth. Wide.” I said. The guy grunted and screamed, pleading for mercy. He started fighting back but only failed. “Stop! Stop this!” He screamed, crying in pain.

“This will only stop when you’re dead. I’ve only started.” I signaled the guy to open his mouth. I used the pliers and grabbed one of his molars and started breaking and pulling until it came off. His screams died down, and for a moment I was worried. Worried that he died before I was satisfied. But when I heard his sobs, I smirked. “What did I do to deserve this? What!” His muffled cries enveloped the room.

I slowly graced my hands along the many pieces of equipment on the table. Injection, scissors, acids, and other torture equipment. What should I use next? My eyes roamed along the table until my eyes darted on the drill, I smiled a little and grabbed it. “What did you do, you ask?” I replied. “I did nothing wrong.” The guy replied weakly.

“You did everything wrong,” I replied as I turned the drill on. “What did I do?” He screamed and cried, hopeless. “You touched what’s mine.” I coldly said. My mercy had run dry and my thoughts evil. I started drilling his upper legs and forearm.

“Ahhhh!!” He screamed as blood splattered to every inch of the floor.

Seraphina’s POV

I walked into my first class. The room was unusually quiet today. I was surprised to see that I was the only one there. I looked around and my soul almost left my body when someone tapped my shoulder. I sighed as I saw Adelin. “Adie! Gosh, you scared me!” I complained, but my complaints only reached deaf ears. Her face was crumpled and she looked like she just saw a ghost.

“Where’s all the people?” I asked, but I was surprised when she only grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room. She continued to drag me outside until we reached the Senior department. “Why did you bring me here Adie?” I asked when we stopped. She looked at me coldly and pointed up the building. “Look up.” She said and my sight followed her pointed finger.

My mouth gaped as a horrified look painted on my face. Alex’s body was tied up in front of the building naked, bruised, and drilled, his mouth was dripping with blood, His hands cut off and his eyes hollowed out. On his left ankle, a rope was tied as a sign hung, painted with red lettering I fear was made by his own blood. “I touched what wasn’t mine.” My hands trembled as my memories with Alex flooded my mind.

I was lightheaded the whole day; I didn’t even notice the time passing by. I went to my bathroom as I did my night routine and skincare. But as time passed by and I looked at my reflection intently, the serums started getting darker in color until they turned to blood. I screamed as I tried to wipe it off. I turned the faucet on but blood dripped from it too. I looked back in the mirror and was horrified to see Alex behind me. He looked at me with his hollowed eyes and spoke weakly. “I did nothing wrong.”

I woke up screaming and crying. I sat up as sweat and tears mixed and it dripped down my cheeks. I cried hard. My swelled-up eyes drifted to the mirror in front of my bed. My tears streamed down my face, but then a smile slowly crept on my face. I started giggling, I chuckled loudly and laughed maniacally.

……….

Cameron’s POV

Screens occupied every inch of my room as I monitored everything that my beloved queen did in her life. I watched her for 24 hours drowning in the sweet ecstasy of having her as my love. I put every camera in every place just to make sure that she would never be with someone else and will never be touched by any dirty scumbag living on this earth. I watched the screens intently making sure that she came home safe and sound.

My eyes kept wandering over all the screens that I had when suddenly my eyes stopped at a certain footage near their school. There, I saw my queen being followed by someone. I was calm at first, but became furious when suddenly the man grabbed Sera’s wrist which made her stop running away. Blinded by anger, I picked up my barbed baseball bat and called my friends to come with me.

We arrived at the location easily. I let my men handle the 5 guys first, I can’t let my queen see me fighting those bastards. “Don’t kill them Knoxx, I want my hands to feel the warmth of their blood.” I said as I fantasized those bastards screaming for their life. “Sure dude, don’t worry we will only show them how kind we are.” Knoxx said with a crazy smile on his face as he licked his favorite golden pistol.

Seraphina’s POV

I was walking home from school, the streets were dark and the moon was shining bright. I looked at the sky to marvel at its beauty. It seemed like a lovely night. Or so I thought. I started feeling uncomfortable as I felt a pair of eyes looking at me through the trees. I felt goosebumps, I shivered at the thought of someone stalking me. How could someone even stalk me here? I am still hundreds of meters away from our main gate. But this road is already in our estate.

I gasped as I heard a rustling sound in the far distance. My walking started to accelerate quickly. When I heard footsteps in the distance I started running and sprinting. I ran as fast as I could. I heard someone laughing before I felt someone grab me on the wrist. “Ahhh!” I screamed as I closed my eyes in fear. “Looks like we caught a pretty little doll, boys!” I heard the man gripping me shout. He laughed like a psychopath as I felt him grip me tighter. His hands started roaming my body. I squirmed with every touch as I tried to break free from his grip.

He maniacally sniffed my neck as I tried to push him away. I saw 4 other guys looking at me like they were the predators and I was the prey. I felt weak, there was nothing I could physically do when they each held me by the limbs. “What do you want from me?” I asked as tears streamed down my face. “What would dear Professor Volkski feel when we ravish his beloved daughter?” My eyes widened at his remark, is this my end?

I closed my eyes as I accepted my downfall. But I ended up opening my eyes again as I heard some of them grunting and others shouting. I saw 2 fine men beating the 4 guys.

Cameron’s POV

My eyes reddened with anger as I witnessed my queen being harassed by these filthy men. I looked at Knoxx and Cillian. “Go, I want them tied up like a little gift.” I smirked. Cillian took off his glasses and gave me a deadpan look. “I agreed to this thinking I only needed to stay here to guard and erase camera footage.” He coldly said to me which creased my forehead. “I paid you.” I said.

“Well then if you want me to fight, then you’re going to have to pay more than 10 million pounds.” He smirked. I closed my eyes tightly. “If you satisfy me with your service then I’ll give you any amount you want. You can name your price and I’ll send it like it’s nothing.” I arrogantly said to him. His smirked widened to an evil smile. “Then his Majesty’s wish shall be done.” He said and went out of the van without even waiting for Knoxx.

“Look at that ass! He didn’t even wait for me. That stingy little man practically thrives on money, using it to fuel his every move. It’s like his eyes light up whenever he sees it. Anyways, I’ll go ahead and beat those assholes, you owe me.” Knoxx said before getting off and helping Cillian. I smiled devilishly as I walked out of the vehicle. I stayed in the shadows, forcing myself to lurk in the dark so that my queen wouldn’t see me. I strategically held her in my arms the moment I reached her back.

She squirmed trying to break free from my grip. I grabbed my silk handkerchief as I gently blindfolded her. As I wrapped the cloth around her head, her natural fragrance enveloped me, stirring desire within. I clenched my eyes shut, fighting against the urge. My breaths became uneven as I struggled to maintain composure while holding her close. My lips reached her ears as I whispered. “I will always be here to protect you, my queen.”

Cillian and Knoxx signaled to me that they’ve already taken care of those bastards. I didn’t want to leave her here, but I knew it was better this way. I gently caressed her arms wanting to make her feel comforted. “Be safe, my queen.” I whispered before letting her go. I quickly ran to Cillian and Knoxx as I got in the vehicle. I breathed so hard, it was the first time I ever held her in my arms and it made my blood boil thinking that these men held her too.

…………….

I was leaning on the metal table in the middle of this room. Looking at the assholes that dared touch my queen before me. I smirked evilly while I watched them getting electrocuted. “Turn up the voltage, I want them weak.” I ordered not caring about how these bastards feel.

“Fuck you, your highness. You’re nothing without your title, your name! Without your family, you are just as helpless as us!” The Leader shouted and laughed teasingly. “And yet again, I am a Dashwood. And you are nothing.” I said as I grabbed a sharp knife from the table. “Never dare compare yourself to me. For beside me, you are merely dust in front of Gold.” I said and slowly gripped his skin, piercing it. You will get what you deserve.

Everyone who dares hurt my Queen will perish in a place worse than hell. In the hands of a creature when provoked is worse than the devil, me.
