Leon laid ‘pon cold marble, ridden by pain and no painkiller could ever have a thought of taking it away. He gritted his teeth, curled over and grabbed on to the boot, slipping it off as to expose the wound; ghastly to look at, she hooked him right through the middle and dangled him about like a fish. ❝ God ! ❞ He winced, reluctantly removing the blood soaked sock.
What laid beneath was just as grizzly: skin, flesh, god knew what else. ‘ Focus Leon, focus or you’re ending up in someone’s plate tonight ! ‘ Desperately grasping at straws, chestnut eyes hurriedly took a gander ‘pon all things around: lavish bathroom, expensive silks, and an interesting sink cabinet He sat up, used both hands to scoot over where he took liberty to help himself by opening that most important place.
❝ Hn! Don’t mind me then. ❞ He tried to smile, brush off how grim everything looked, but damn it is difficult. One good thing about women? Beauty products, and a lot of them. He messily retrieved a bottle of nail varnish, twisted its cap and tossed it; oh boy, he was in for a world of torment. Pristine liquid poured, a fountain filled with purity and its beautiful blessing crashed ‘pon blood and flesh. Kennedy’s teeth gritted, veins ‘pon the eyes surged and veins bulged against skin; it fucking hurt ! ! !
As more and more mixed, our agent banged a fist against the sink cabinet, anything to keep the mind away from the insufferable agony. A nice piece of cloth, possibly belonging to one of the women, was sterilized and tied around as a makeshift solution to cease any further bleeding. ❝ Yeah, an easy job they said. ❞ If he ever makes out alive, those big pocketed pigs better be ready to vomit out rivers of green, hard money as compensation.
Treated with a poor man’s solution, Leon anchored himself up by using the bathtub and sink. Any miniscule contact between a surface and wounded foot sent his soul to Hell and back so he winced, hopping immediately on one foot. “ Jesus ! This is bad… “ He hopped, clinging on to any plausible surface until reaching the door; locked for good fortune. ‘ Are you serious ? She actually locked it ?! ‘ And it dawned on him, was this not another incorporation of jail ? Drastic times require drastic measures, Leon retrieved from the nearby sink a set of women’s pins, in which he proceeded in attempting to lockpick. Now he hoped luck would smile on his miserable day.
the line between life & death was a fine one at the worst of times. if he’d unlock the door any faster or been a mere fraction slower in shutting it back, leon would have been caught like a deer in headlights. through the wooden slither, he saw the bedroom door swing wide open & just then, a most unbelievable, maddening sight; gloved hands ‘pon frames, followed by a body so tall that the person had to duck almost towards the floor in order to enter. that person was a ‘ she, ’ a mature older woman dressed in a white cocktail dress & black saucer hat that strikingly matched her old-fashioned hairstyle as well as leather gloves. her shiny red lips & peerless white skin looked beautifully soft, much like the hour-glass curves of her inhumanely tall stature.
luckily enough for leon, she didn’t seem notice him all the while walking in, letting the slingback pumps ‘ click ’ against the marble tiles. ❝ hm.... ❞ she pauses, standing right in the middle of the dim-lit room. ❝ cassandra, are you certain that what you heard wasn’t one of our maids.... ? ❞ placing a hand ‘pon the wealthy hip, she turns ───── slow & gracious ───── only to peer directly towards the majestic swarm of incoming flies. ❝ yes, mother.... ❞ they say, clashing together into a silhouette of a young hooded woman, ❝ i heard a little man-thing screaming ever so sweetly down the hall.... ❞
they’ve looked at each other in momentary silence as the ‘ mother ‘ frowned, folding those succulent red lips into a thin line. she seemed clearly displeased by the given news. before cassandra could possibly continue however, more flies filtered the room & much like the others, clashed, morphing into the very same woman from before ───── she who smiled ever so wide. ❝ mother, i found traces of fresh blood. would you like for us to look.. ~ ? ❞
the towering woman turns, walking over to the vintage desk & mirror nearby, ❝ you may, my daughter, ❞ she says, briefly fixing the painted lips with her red lipstick; ❝ just be sure to return him to me in one piece. i’d like to have a talk before dinner. ❞ bela glances at the bathroom door briefly, almost as if looking directly at leon. ❝ yes, mother. ❞ she smiles a little wider, now fully focused on the tall woman who just straightened up & once again approached. ❝ may i just use the bathroom first..? ❞
the countess huffs a little, caressing her daughters blood-stained jaw. ❝ of course you may. you need not to even ask. ❞ with that, she leaves the room alongside the other sister, allowing for leon to watch how bela is now grinning just like before ───── moving a lone gloved finger before her black lips, playfully suggesting for him to ‘ hush. ’
