The strong man, Racket, stood in front of a mirror as he adjusted his vest. Dottie grinned at him from the bed, "W-What are ya doin'?" She asked curiously with a hoarse voice. Racket turned around, "I'm gonna see how good I look…" He smiled as he turned back to the mirror. He looked down to his neck, chest, stomach, crotch, legs, and then his feet.
He sighed as he pulled his arms out of the vest armholes, he laughed and tossed it to the dirty ground. His hands met the bottom of his shirt as he began to pull it over his head. First, it showed his stomach which was engraved with abs and a belly button. He pulled it over his head fully as he sighed, he looked at himself as he placed his hands over his chest. He grazed over the scars that littered it, he knew what they were from.
And the way he got them was relieving and freeing, but painful. He smiled and grazed his hands over his chest smoothly. Dottie looked at him with confusion, "Why a-are you t-t-touching yours-self like that?..." She asked with concern.
He turned his head to face her, "Oh. I'm still kinda happy about my chest… Maddie cut it off, remember?... I'm really happy about it… I finally look like a man…" He reminisced as he smiled, still looking at her. "I have some- g-gel that helps relieve s-scars and causes them to disap-p-pear. Do you want some…? It w-w-would make you look au-authentic!" Dottie laughed as she reached into her leather fanny pack.
She pulled out some gel and showed it to him shakily, Racket thought for a moment before nodding with happiness as he walked over to his sister, he plopped beside her and looked at her. Dottie giggled as she took a tiny handful of gel and began to smear it over the boy's scars.
She looked at his chest to locate scars, she smeared it all over the scars that he had on him. Dottie began to laugh hysterically as she looked into his eyes, Racket began to laugh too. "Y-You're the best brother ever…" She smiled as she looked at Dottie with a laugh. She shivered a bit before her head violently twitched.
She grinned. The girl was ecstatic and loved her brother so much, she was finally joyful. Racket looked at his sister and sighed as he pulled his hair back, he let her finish getting the gel on him. He sighed and watched her as she helped him out. Dottie looked at him and wiped her hands on her pants with a cheerful expression.
"I hope you like that. Your chest is gonna look authentic!" She smiled as she got up for a moment. Racket began to smile brightly as his eyes went shiny, but not the hopeful type of shiny. He was tearing up. His eyelids had clear watery rings at the bottom of them, Dottie looked at him as her smile faded, she began to look concerned now. Racket looked down as tears streamed down his face, watery lines streaked his cheeks as a stain was left on his pale skin.
Dottie eyed him as she began to frantically move herself to look around, she didn't know what was going on and she wanted to see if she could use something to help him. "Why are you crying?" She asked with fear as she looked at him. Racket quivered as he looked up at her, "Uhm… I'm just thinking about my old self… When I was… A Woman." He would mutter with sadness as she looked at them.
Dottie looked at him as she remembered. "Well… I don't remember you too well as a female… I- I- I just r-rememb-bered that you- c-c-cried a lot… and that you- had- a b-big chest! And, y-your name was M-Merena." She laughed with a smile. Racket raised his eyebrows, "Well… That's alright…" He muttered with a sigh as he sat up a little more on the bed. Racket looked at her, "Well… At least you accept me. The rest of the family accepts me but… It just isn't the same as you.
You accepted me and it makes me joyful…" He would say to her, practically thanking her. Dottie smiled at him with a giggle, she twitched a little bit. "I… Well, I- I- I'm not as u-uneducated as e-everyone else in the family, M-Maddie is also a nice one if you r-remember. Alec was kinda mean to you t-though…" She sighed with a saddened look on her face. She approached him and smiled.
"I love you, big bro." She would say, trying her best not to stutter these words. This was the first time that she had ever told Racket that she loved him. She hadn't told any of her siblings that, especially Alec. She knew what he did to Maddie. Racket's eyes widened as he heard these endearing words, he liked that she'd said that. "I- I love you too, Dottie." He would mutter as he sighed.
Grace awoke again as she looked around, "Ugh… I need… I need to… Get to Kate…" She slurred her words as she managed to walk up the stairs. She made her way around the upper story of the house. She saw so many doors, not too many, but a lot of doors. She sighed and began to breathe heavily, "I'll have to check all of t-these rooms…" She muttered as she began to stumble through the corridor.
Alec had already left Kate, he had sexually assaulted her and left her there for his siblings to deal with her. He hadn't told anyone what he had done, they weren't as crazy as he was; that made him disappointed. 'I'll just let Dottie or Racket deal with them. There's no point in ME killing her.' He thought with evil eyes as he smugly walked around in the living room downstairs.
Grace looked around and made sure that nobody was there to see her. She sighed and looked around, she went over to one of the wooden doors. Sadly, she didn't know that this was Maddie's bedroom. She turned the doorknob and opened the door before gasping, Maddie looked up at her. She was kind of worried, but she knew that Grace was one of her family's victims.
Grace saw Tanner and Kyle, Kyle pulled himself up and ran to Grace, throwing his arms around her desperately in a hug. "I was worried about you, I- I didn't know what happened to anyone else… I can't find Nicole, and I don't know where Kate went…" He would say to Grace as she looked at him. She patted his back and replied, "I was l-looking for Kate… She was… She was captured… In front of… me." She slurred as she looked at him, her eyes drowsy. Kyle looked at her with concern on both parts.
"Are you… Feeling alright?" He asked with worry as he looked at her, examining her face. He realized that she was dosed on something, "Did someone drug you?-" He asked frantically as he looked at her. Grace struggled to respond as she started to become unresponsive. Tanner got onto his knees with worry as he eyed the girl, "Grace!" He called. Grace soon came back to reality, "Uhm… That- That little girl… She drugged me. It was weird." She muttered.
Maddie looked at her, "Are you talking about… Oh god. Jesus." She muttered. Maddie knew exactly who this 'little girl' was. "Babee drugged you… didn't she?" She asked. "Listen… We- W-We- We have to find Kate. Now. Fast." Grace demanded, trying to change the subject back to finding Grace.
Kyle looked over to Tanner, who was standing beside him. Tanner sighed, "Yeah. She could be in danger." She muttered. Maddie looked at her as Grace began to realize. "Hey… Are you part of this family?- I never cared to think about it until I heard you talk about that little girl." She said a bit angrily. Maddie looked at her, "Yes… But… I promise I am not like them. Not close to being like them." She explained as she looked at her. Grace sighed, "I'd like to trust you on that." She whispered before she turned around and left the room. Tanner and Kyle tip-toed through the hall as they approached the metal door.
"Do you think she's there?" Kyle asked with worry as he eyed the rusted door. This was a terrifying situation. "Uhm… I hope… I pray that she is…" Grace would say as she approached the door.
She placed her hand around the doorknob, Grace felt a little woozy as she felt that her hands were very sweaty. "Uhm… Sorry… I feel sick…" She muttered as she pulled her hands away from the door and turned around, hands to her head.
Tanner looked at her and placed a hand on her shoulder, he felt how heated and sweaty she was. He flinched once he felt her. Worry flooded through him, "Oh my god… Grace, you're burning up!" He exclaimed quietly with worry.
Grace pushed him away gently, "No… We gotta check the room before you worry about me, please… We have to see if Kate is okay…" She muttered as she looked back to the door. Walking back to it, she opened the door.
That's when Tanner and Kyle saw it, along with Grace. It was Kate. She was on the ground, blood dripping from her forehead. Grace gasped, Kate was awake aswell. She had been awake for only a little bit after Alec left; she woke up. "Kate. Oh my god…" Kyle muttered as he walked over to her.
Kate pushed herself to her knees as she looked around. "I- Hey… That man just left…" She muttered. Grace looked at Kate as she felt severe worry, 'What exactly did that man do to Kate?' She thought as she looked at her. Grace eyed her as she stuffed her hands in her pockets, trying to make them stop sweating and shaking. Tanner placed a hand on her shoulder as she seemed to start stumbling. "Is… Is Grace okay?" Kate asked desperately as she pulled herself off the floor.
Tanner looked at the girl and breathed heavily, "Uhm… She seemed to have been dosed with something." He would reply as he kept holding onto her. Maddie creaked her door open, peering out eerily. Her eye frantically looked at them before she closed her door back up, locking the door.
Kyle eyed the others with fear before he suddenly heard a door creak open. That's when two people eyed them, hopping out of the room they were in. It was Dottie and Racket, "What ar-are you doing here?! YOU'RE M-MEANT TO BE D-DEAD!" Dottie screeched angrily as she reached for her pocket knife. She aimed it at Kyle but he ducked, Dottie fell to a knee before desperately getting up. Grace grabbed Kate by her wrist and tried to run with her, but Racket grabbed her ankle; making Grace fall face first and Kate fall against the wall. Tanner looked at them as he began to hyperventilate, "LET MY FRIENDS GO!" He cried with desperation as he balled his fists, eyes tearing up.
Babee came running out of a room at the end of the hall, a deep wide smile on her face as she watched the victims get grabbed. "I can help kill that man." She volunteered, pointing at Kyle. Racket cackled as he grabbed Kyle by his upper arm, holding him like a ragdoll before he threw him against the wall. Babee ran over and hovered over the injured man, Kyle groaned as he quickly pulled himself up. Before Babee could act, she fell on her back. Anger and pain flooded her as she lay there, heaving for breath. Racket's eyes turned dark, that's when his smile faded. "You- DON'T YOU DARE HURT MY LITTLE SISTER!" He screamed angrily as he grabbed a kitchen knife from the wall. He grabbed Kyle by his arm, pressed him against the wall with heavy strength, and dug the knife deep up into his torso; on his stomach area.
Kyle groaned and screamed as blood splattered onto the floor and the wall. Babee watched Racket stab the man in the stomach, Racket growled as he twisted the knife in the man's wound. He then stabbed the man 2 more times as he felt blood coat his hand. Kyle fell to the ground, hacking blood before passing. He was finally dead. Racket pulled the knife out with some effort, he then threw it to the side and turned to his sister. He wiped the blood on his hand back to his face, Racket placed his hands on the girl's shoulders. "Hey… Are you alright…?" He asked with worry, His sister breathed heavily. "I thought I was dead for a second, thank you for saving me." She would reply.
Grace began to cry once she saw Kyle's dead body, she watched him get stabbed to his death. Dottie sat on her back, holding her down and restraining her arms behind her. "Nice kill, Rex!" Dottie complimented as she struggled. Her smile was contorted as she got immense satisfaction from torturing this poor teenager.
Kate watched as this happened, tears flowing down her face. Tanner sat on the ground before getting up frantically, he tried to run down the stairs. He was desperate not to die. "GET HIM! HE'S GONNA GET AWAY!" Dottie screamed as she managed to tie Grace down. Babee ran over to Kate and held her, "I can keep her here while you get them!" She called. Dottie got up and stepped on Grace, accidentally, before running down the stairs after the man. Racket groaned and growled before darting down the stairs alongside his younger sister.
"Get that boy! We can't let him get away like the other survivor that we let get away!" Racket screamed with anger. Dottie cackled, "That girl just got lucky!" She cried as she saw Tanner down the hall. Tanner was screaming bloody murder as he desperately tried to make his way down the hallway, he then found himself in the living room. Alec's head snapped towards him and he angrily grinned. "I SEE YOU!" He shouted.
Tanner cried and screamed as he turned around to run, before realizing that Dottie and Racket were after him too. "NOOOOOOO!" He screamed with terror as he placed his hands to his head, having nowhere to go and becoming hopeless; aswell as afraid.
Alec grabbed him by his arm and threw him to the ground, Dottie grinned as she looked at the teenager that lay on his stomach. Tanner coughed desperately as he tried to crawl away, Alec grabbed him by his ankle and stabbed him in the stomach. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Tanner begged as he got up from the ground as quickly as he could, he then ran down the hall; tumbling through Racket and Dottie.
Alec looked at them, he held the blood-coated knife and snarled. "HE'S GETTIN' AWAY!" He called. Dottie eyed around the room as Tanner limped down the hall, she saw a baseball and her eyes widened creepily. She grinned before laughing hysterically, quickly wrapping her hand around the ball and aiming it at Tanner's head. She threw a baseball at his head and he fell straight to the ground out of hard impact. Tanner screamed in agony.
Grace laid on the ground, hands bound, mouth gagged, crying. She closed her eyes desperately as she tried to block out the sound, horror filling her. She didn't want to have to hear her boyfriend suffer. She opened her eyes and she saw Kyle again, his body was gruesome and bloody. She began to sob louder as tears streamed down her face, she was practically screaming.
Kate looked at Grace. Babee looked down the stairs and smiled, "Get back up here, Dottie!" She screamed in her high-pitched voice. She didn't want to have to deal with Kate anymore, she found her obnoxious. Dottie walked to the stairs and looked up, "W-What do you w-want?" She called with her angered voice. Babee sighed, "Just deal with this girl, she's annoying and I just wanna do somethin' else!" She exclaimed with a huff as she looked at her, crossing her arms.
"Fine. FINE!" Dottie exclaimed with pure anger and annoyance as she walked upstairs, practically stomping. She grabbed the rope and the washrag, smiling devilishly. Babee smiled at her as she sighed, "Are you gonna let me kill that boy you captured?" She asked, sounding innocent. She begged her sister like a puppy.
Dottie thought about it, she snickered and began to laugh erratically. "Yo-You've always been one of the best k-killers in the family! You can- D-Do anythin' you want to em!" The woman exclaimed as she frantically grabbed the small sledgehammer that the family owned.
She smiled ecstatically as she handed it to the young child, "Thanks, sis!" Babee exclaimed as she grabbed the sledgehammer, holding onto it tightly as she grinned. Dottie crossed her arms and smiled, "N-No problem…" She stuttered before looking at Kate and Grace.
Babee walked down the stairs, struggling to keep holding up the large heavy sledgehammer. As a nine-year-old, it was hard to hold heavy things; especially hammers. She sighed and saw Racket holding Tanner down to the ground, he looked up at Babee once he heard her footsteps. "Hey, Girl!" Racket would exclaim with a struggle and a few grunts in between as Tanner wiggled in his grip. Babee snickered, "Hi, Rex." She smiled at him as she gripped her sledgehammer better.
Racket eyed her, looking up from Tanner to Babee, back and forth. He put his foot onto Tanner's back, letting his hands off the man as he held him down with more force. He grinned as he looked at the girl, "You gonna kill em?" He asked her as he bit down on his lip nervously and drowsily eyed her. Babee smiled, "Yup! Dottie said I could…" She told him.
Racket giggled as he made sure Tanner didn't get out from underneath his foot. The man screamed and wailed in pain and fear. "You can do anything to him." He muttered with a sigh. Babee leaned down to Tanner's level and gestured from Racket to move his foot. Racket raised an eyebrow before leveraging his foot off him, Tanner immediately attempted to move. "Not so fast!" Babee screamed quickly as she raised the sledgehammer, bringing it down onto his spinal cord. Tanner screamed in agony, trying to deal with the pain. He then realized that he couldn't move anymore.
Racket gasped and covered his mouth with a hand, gagging profusely as he looked away. He didn't know how a child could do that without vomiting, it was horrific and gruesome. "JESUS, BARBIE!" He exclaimed with a smug smile, removing his hand from his mouth and patting his little sister on the back. Babee smiled, "I know it's brutal but he's a victim!" Babee exclaimed to her with a smug expression.
Tanner spit up blood, laying on the floor, paralyzed all the way. Tears streamed down the poor boy's face, Babee watched him before she grabbed Racket. "Stab him in the head, we gotta kill him. We gotta have enough food for tonight." Babee muttered as she looked at Racket, she held onto his shirt, pulling him down to her level.
Racket sighed, "Yup." He kneeled beside Tanner and put a knife to his head before he stabbed him. Crimson blood ran down his face, dripping onto the dusty wood floor. Racket laughed at him as he ripped out his pocket knife quickly, he turned to Babee and sighed. "Give me the sledge…" He sighed. Babee smiled and nodded, "Yessir." She said as she gave him the sledgehammer.
Racket held it as he put it down by the stairs, he sighed and walked to the stairs; peeking up. "Ay! Dottie, Ya' doin' alright?" He called with concern as he saw Dottie standing up, watching Kate. "Yeah. This girl is bein' a-annoyin'!" Dottie screamed back with anger and annoyance as she looked at him from atop the stairs.
Racket sighed and walked up the stairs, letting his arms fall to his sides as he walked. He smiled at her before seeing Kate flailing her body, "Ugh… She's still tryin' to get out?" He asked with annoyance. Dottie nodded frantically as she placed the knife that she held into her pocket, he sighed.
Racket eyed her as he then grabbed Kate by her hair, pulling her off the ground as she yelped. She had something gagging her mouth, so she couldn't speak or scream.
