I have Carter strapped to the table in the basement and I'm about to make him my most personal kill. I never thought I'd be in this position with my so-called brother but here we are. I'm about to slice him from limb to limb and Carrie is watching. It's the first time she's seen me in action and I hope it turns her on to see me do this to someone that I love so much. I am doing this for her. I love her and I would go to any lengths to protect her. It's too bad Carter had to cross the line, my one boundary, of trying to hurt the girl I love. I want him to die. I won't make him suffer too much because I'm not into the gory details, just the pleasure of seeing a soul leave a body. I hope Carrie sees what I see in the whole venture, but we will see soon.
"Carrie, come closer, so you can watch."
She looks hesitant but she approaches nonetheless. This night will change her life if she can handle it.
"I want you to know that I would never, ever hurt you like this, even if you leave me or betray me. But, I would hurt anyone else that comes close to offending you, do you understand? I am doing this to my once loved brother because my love for you is greater than anything at all."
She nods her head slowly and a look of vengeance comes into her eyes. "I understand."
"I want you to see how I do it, and maybe one day you will be brave enough to do it on your own."
She harbors no hesitation now — her eyes light up and I think that she may have finally gotten it.
I start to wake Carter up. I shake him and both Carrie and I look into his tormented face as he realizes his plan to hurt her has backfired. He's now ours, and our love is what brought him down. He's struggling against the restraints but he's got no leverage and absolutely no one to come help him.
"Do you know, Carter, that I trusted you. You were my only family, my brother, and you betrayed me. Do you see how deeply that would hurt me?"
"It's her," he screams. "She has come between us. You let a little whore wreck everything!"
I am fuming but controlled, always in control. "You betrayed me, Carter. I trusted you to know this precious gift, this new treasure that has entered my life and instead of being appreciative you betrayed me instead. Did you really think you could win? Against me?"
I'm laughing now and I glance at Carrie who has a wild expression on her face.
"She's not like us.” Carter is near hysterics as the gravity of what he's done starts to weigh heavily on him. "She will never be able to live up to you."
"That's where you're wrong," I snarl. "She is everything like us and I knew that from the start. We could have all been family, together, but instead, you betrayed me. And true families do not betray each other. You were never my brother. You were always jealous of me. Really, she and I are alike…and you’re a problem. And now you will pay."
He tries a different angle but nothing will work. I see him for his true colors now. "She will never replace me," he is desperate. "No one can replace me, certainly not that fucking slut."
I have a fire in my eyes now and in my heart. He continues to dig himself a deeper grave.
"That was really not a nice thing to say, was it Carrie? Aren't you upset by what he just said?"
She nods coolly.
"Then I think we shall begin."
I take out my knife and show it to Carrie. "It's called the Gem of the Orient. Isn't it beautiful."
She touches her finger along the blade and accidentally cuts herself. I take her finger to my lips and suck the blood away.
Carter's eyes are wide in terror because he now knows I am serious and that he made a giant mistake by deserting me.
I slowly cut along his arms, flaying him to expose the inner workings of his muscles. He shouts out in pain. I watch Carrie closely and she runs her tongue along her teeth and I can tell she is enjoying the process.
"I love watching you," she says. "I didn't think I would."
I gently carve at his legs, making sure not to pop any blood vessels. I am inflicting non-fatal wounds to draw the pain out. Carter screams in agony and Carrie's eyes light up with the same fire that is in mine.
Carter begs, "Please stop. I'll do whatever, I'll disappear, I promise."
"Your promises don't matter now Carter. It's too late. You deluded yourself into thinking that you could let me down and that it would okay. it isn't."
Carrie is watching, utterly fascinated. I pull the knife along his skin, watching as it opens up like a present.
"This can all end when you want it to Carter. Just say the words. You know the drill."
He is so consumed by fear and pain. And he's aware too that the longer this drags out the more Carrie and I are getting turned on. He knows the exact feeling because he's done it himself many times.
"Oh fuck, please just kill me. Do it." He is sobbing wildly and Carrie comes closer to his face.
She says, "I am not a whore, you son-of-a-bitch." She whispers it in his ear like she wants him to know that she's got the power. It turns me on so much to see her in action and I am proud of her.
"Kill me!"
With one slit of the knife across his neck he is fading. Carrie watches the life drain out of his body and I can tell she's enjoying it and she finally understands what I'm about. Now the two of us can finally become one as we're in this together. I'm so glad she gave me the time to show her. It's like she finally understands me.
She smiles up at me as the life in Carter's eyes disappears and she says, "I love you."
I come toward her and consume her with a kiss. She is mine forever, this I know for sure.
