Song Recommendation# 'Believer' by 'Imagine Dragons'

#Trigger: Torture, gore#

"Argh~ Please, s-stop, I beg you"

"Mhm~ And what makes you think I take orders from you? Oh! This tastes good, Baekhyun fetch me some more"

Venom gestured towards the plate of fried chicken in front of her and turned to the boy. Baekhyun's gaze met hers, his eyes carrying a familiar sense of weariness and exhaustion. They had grown accustomed to the sight of Venom, the dark angel who haunted their nightmares and left them sleepless, with dark circles etched deeply around their eyes.

Venom glared at the boy who stood there as if a lifeless statue and questioned him, "Have your ears stopped working, Baekhyun? Or do you need to get them cleaned?" Her words were laced with annoyance and impatience.

Venom impaled her fork into the crispy, golden chicken pieces on her plate. Her attention fixated back solely on eating without letting the blood on her fingers drip into her meal.

Exactly! Blood, well here is the complete picture.

Dim flickers of light illuminated the insides of her playhouse, casting a soft glow over the pale marble floor stained with a deep, velvety red liquid. The source of the gruesome fluid emanated from two figures, tied and helpless in the center of the room. The space was filled with the sounds of masculine screams, whimpers, hisses, gasps, and desperate pleas, adding to the eerie and disturbing atmosphere.

The man stripped naked of any clothing hung limply, his head bowed down in agony, and his breaths were labored and shallow. The chains that bound him were merciless, piercing through his flesh and leaving a trail of blood behind. Steel thorns pierced into his skin, cutting down the skin to the point his veins and bones were on display, and blood streams trickled down his arms to his armpits and down his sides. Every inch of his skin bore the scars of the blades and tools that had been ruthlessly driven into him, a grotesque artwork etched upon his body. Despite the pain, the man was still alive, his eyes flickering with fear and despair. The artwork was beautiful indeed, Other than all this, his body was perfectly in place.

Next to them, a woman sat bound to a steel chair, her vulnerable form stripped of any clothing. A deep, disfiguring bruise marred the side of her face as if she had endured a brutal blow from a heavy object. Her head hung limply, giving the impression of unconsciousness as if she had been forcefully knocked into a state of lifelessness.

As Venom's eyes fixated on the unconscious woman while chewing down the bits of her food. Amidst the meal, she seized a lengthy chicken bone from the pile before her and applied pressure, causing one end to splinter into a sharper point. Slipping her hand into the woman's hair, she grabbed a fistful and yanked at them.

"Wakey wakey"

Venom's cheerful smile adorned her face as she spoke, hoping to elicit a reaction from the unresponsive woman. However, the woman remained motionless, unyielding to Venom's attempts. Pouting with a hint of disappointment, Venom then turned her attention to the man who dangled beside her. He trembled uncontrollably, his body growing colder with each passing minute, drained by the loss of blood. Struggling to communicate, he weakly turned his gaze to the side, attempting to form words that failed to materialize from his quivering lips.

"I hate it when people don't listen to me in one go. It's not very polite you know"

With one swift swing, Venom pushed and stuck the bone right into her neck, the sharp point piercing through the flesh and muscle. Abruptly she was shaken awake with striking pain that kissed each cell of her bone marrow till her brain. The woman gasped in pain as the bone sank half its length into her neck. She screamed that came out gurgled to how the bone had left blood filling her throat, Her vision began to blur, and blood now dripped from her open mouth as she gasped.

"I said Wakey, wakey" Venom brought her hands forth and pinched the gasping woman's cheeks who struggled to breathe choking on the blood that she coughed out painting down the bare canvas of her body on display.

"I didn't think a baseball bat could knock you out so good otherwise I would have used a hammer or a cleaver, but you'd lose your head instead of your sanity right and I like your head a bit too much" Venom grabbed the corner of her chair pressed a button that released its tires and dragged the chair forth, while the man hanging by just looked lazily to what was gonna happen.

"But it's so fun to chop those off, I love it! Oh, it would be fun to do yours if I get to watch so why don't you do me the favor, pretty one" Pulling the metal chair to a halt, Venom strolled towards the seat and sat down in front of the woman.

~Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea~

"Tell me how would you like to behead yourself, a Sabre or Strider would do? Hey how 'bout a Xiphos they dig in well, or you always have the option of bursting out your brain, my Glock 19 works well"

"Gasps pl-please Let me go Venom please, I-I barely Gasps knew Felix or any of the upper class"

"Oh, not with the same mumbling again girl, don't get on my nerves, oh you don't learn fast, forget the bat blow already huh?"

"Felix was in the Code Red Upper Class, we were under them so we don't have access to what you are asking-"

"You are giving me a headache with all these lies, honey. It's not possible for you to not know your own boss, it's like the cub never knew why it's a cub" A scoff forced past her lips while she leaned back swinging her arm over the headrest of the seat to hang it back while she raised her legs up placing the heavy combat boots in the woman's lap as she crossed her legs.

"I-I'm not Gasps lying"

"Well, I'll tell what truth sounds like, look if you don't speak now I'm telling you I will sew your lips shut and chop off your and his body in countless pieces like a puzzle, no matter how much honest you two are then, I won't listen to a single word, so tell me KNIGHTS sent out crudes, why? What are they after?"

"W-we are Code blue Knights, w-we have no knowledge of Upper class-" A heavy sigh slipped past Venom's mouth and she shifted in her place with a clearly unamused face.

"Right, and you won't talk hm? Fine with me, I got more ways to get what I want, as for you two, I already decided what to do" She reached forth to grab the long chain cuffs from the pile of metal stashed over the steel tables. The cuffs were customized with two chains binding the rings together, it was nearly confusing yet still intimidating enough for the woman seated forth.

What was gonna happen to her? What this sick beast was going to do to her?

"How 'bout I send KNIGHTS a little token of gratitude, I'm so glad to have capable rivals. They never fail to make things fun for me" Venom moved closer to the woman strangled in the leashes and pulled the leather straps loose freeing the latter's hands. She slid them up holding them in front of her face while pulling the chains of the cuffs to either side of her head as if sliding a necklace around her head. She locked her wrists in the metal rings leaving the woman's hands on either side of her head as she looked confused at the owner of the hazel eyes.

"Wh-what are you going to do to me V-Venom please d-don't hurt me"

"Hurt you? How rude! You think I'm hurting you oh no no no honey, I am helping you to be useful at last" Sliding the thick pair of leather gloves on her hands Venom slid open the long cabinets at the sides of the metal table and grabbed onto a sleek shinning thread-like wire.

"Wh-what is that? What are you gonna do to me?"

"Be patient Cupcake, you'll know" Sliding the wire around the woman's arms Venom tightened it letting the silvery shining thread kiss the bare skin of the woman, and as soon as it did the wire cut past through whatever came in its way, digging through the layers of skin the wire dug into flesh leaving trails of blood to run down the bare canvas of her skin. It left the woman screaming loudly the more she felt the wire seize her structure and slice past her skin.

"Hush before I sew your mouth shut girl" She mumbled wrapping the wire around the woman's hands and neck in such a way that it seemed as if the strangled woman was choking herself with that metal wire. The lone difference was that she was made to do so.

"Oh, she looks pretty, doesn't she?" Venom asked the man hanging by wrists raised up in the air that the drip of every drop of his blood was audible enough.

"Well honey, you know what I am going to do now?" The cloaked demon grinned wide with a smile that looked anything but nice. Venom placed the object under the metal chair on which the whimpering woman was restrained. It looked like a kitchen burner but with a much larger firepot.

"Wh-what is that?"

"Oh well, it's obvious, isn't it? But I'm sure this will be your first and definitely the last experience and trust me I will make it damn painful" Kicking the flip knob on the burner with her boot, she turned it on resting back on the seat while putting a mask on her face as she peered at the strangled prey of hers.

The fire ignited into huge flames under the metal chair licking the shiny surface of the seat under which it was resting and rose to peek from the round edges of the seat.

"N-NO STOP PLEASE" The woman yelled despite the swollen ruptured walls of her throat ached enough to leave her senseless. Venom sat back spectating the view, watching the woman squirming over the seat, feeling the metal heat underneath her enough to leave her uncomfortable sitting over it.

She arched her back to raise her hips up feeling the metal heat up more than bearable, the woman whimpered with her back and thighs pressing more onto the metal chair as she struggled to not let her hips settle back over the scorching hot seat. Seeing this Venom gave off a soft laughter with a tilt of her head.

"Nice try Cupcake" Spoke the She-devil and placed her combat black boot onto the woman's pelvis kicking her back in place and keeping it pressed over to make the woman sit down on the metal chair and as soon as she did, she screamed to how the sweltering hot metal left her skin sizzling and sticking to it. Venom stood up keeping one boot pressed onto the woman's crotch and leaned forth pressing it down harder hearing the searing sounds of the burning flesh of the former against the red-hot metal. She came up close to the one she held captive and peered into her eyes with a fiery gaze of hers.

"You can't fool or outsmart me Babygirl, it's best if you obey and you do well" She pressed down harder on her boot pushing the woman against the metal chair who screamed louder feeling her own flesh melt and burn against the metal. Her grip on the silver wire tightened and she felt it sink into her hands cutting past the canvas of skin she had on them.

"So, do what I say, either you speak of what I asked you or you can die, behead yourself or burn, the choice is all yours" With that Venom slammed the foot against the woman's chest to force press her back against the heated metal that left the skin to melt and stick to it like a liquid adhesive.

The whole room was filled with the woman's screams as she failed to even utter a word of asking for mercy. Venom looked up to the man hanging who was near to throwing up, his face extremely pale by now his own body covered in blood and sweat. He just looked lazily at the torturer and her melting prey, his wrists were on the verge of breaking off from his hands, the skin left shredded and open with the thorn chains wrapped onto them that held him off the ground.

He feared to see himself ending up the same way or worse.

"GOD HELP ME"

"He is already helping you, but you ain't accepting it, just tell me what I asked you and I will end your misery hm~" Grabbing the screaming woman by her hair, Venom yanked at it pulling the woman forth leaving the flesh to tear off her back as it stuck against the metal. She screamed louder, shivering at the feeling of every strand of her muscle being torn apart. "Tell me Babygirl and I shall put you back in one piece"

"I- Venom-"

"Say it come on" Leaning forth Venom turned off the burner and peered into the dying woman's eyes. "You don't want to end like this neither I want you to, so tell me and I shall grant you a chance to live again" Caressing the whimpering woman's cheeks she spoke the enchanting spell-like words earning a spark blossoming in the former's eyes.

"Venom, th-they sent crudes t-twice in a span of fifty days-"

"And?"

"They were sent to the pit to-"

"Shut up F3, she's lying she will kill you, don't you dare say a thing you can't sell your loyalty to this bitch who can only lie in return" The man screamed watching his comrade lose herself to the she-devil.

"You wish to gag on your own cock huh?"

"FUCK YOURSELF VENOM~ YOU'D NEVER GET TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT"

"Oh, is that so?"

"I have no fear of you, you are nothing but a heedless monster" He quivered, his lips trembling as he released a shaky breath. His mouth opened, and disjointed words stumbled out, fractured and fragmented.

"Y-YOU ARE A MONSTER" Upon hearing him, she emitted an eerie laughter that sent shivers cascading down their weary spines.

"Then see me as one" With that Venom grabbed onto the strangled woman's hands and yanked at them leaving the silver wire to tighten around the latter's neck and dig past the layers of flesh underneath.

~You made me a, you made me a believer, Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, Pain!~

She screamed louder and louder till a loud squelching sound erupted with woman's head being chopped off alive from the rest of her body, it tripped and fell off with the bright spark of light in her eyes fading out right then and there. The blood spurting from the sliced neck painted her face red yet the loud chuckles never lowered. This left the man spectating the view, soul deprived in his own skin, he surely provoked the right beast, didn't he?

The insides of the playhouse were filled with masculine screams and gurgles as if someone was choking over their own body parts being shoved down their throat until there was none to chop off. Even the huge metal doors to the playhouse failed to hide the bloodbath inside. The red liquid of life peeked out from under the doors and crawled down the staircase exposing the ferocity of the she-devil.
