Three days they kept a very dangerous person confined in the cells. The cameras rolled and the man sat there glaring at the camera when he wasn't eating. It was too bad there was no sound on the screen, he only spoke when the girls were present -- never when Ashton entered. Ashton tried to eaves drop but he always clammed up when he was near the door -- when anyone else tried to enter.
The drug that Mistress Blackthorn gave them was running low. Ashton informed her. "Mistress. We have only a dose or two left at the rate you want me giving it to him. You need to get more if you want to keep him alive."
"Cedric wishes for a large piece tonight and more variety."
"As you wish, but we still need more." Ashton tried to reiterate.
She waved him off with a glare and Ashton let it go. He knew he was going to die if he got out. They all were. The look in their captive's eyes had not wavered from the moment he first came in and realized he was food. Since he had seen Mistress Blackthorn. Since she spoke...
Down in the bowels of the Blackthorn estate the man rested with his head against the wall glaring at the camera. "No one is there to see."
His eyes turned to Ashton and a shiver ran through his body. "I think they will end this soon. Cedric wishes to dine on a variety tonight. Soon he'll wish for an organ. He relishes the heart and brain. It's almost over." Ashton said trying to scare the man, but the look never changed. He just sat there.
"When Mistress Blackthorn came down here, she said a name. A name you knew."
His eyes flared with a fire that made Ashton take a step back.
His voice was empty of all emotion when he spoke. "Vaia Plus will fall soon enough."
"Why? What did they do?"
A half smile slide across Nox's face. "Fucked with the wrong person. They were going down before, but now... no now they all die. Feed me to fucking monsters!"
"Why were they going down before?" Ashton knelt down next to the bars and shoved another plate full of meat closer to him. He hadn't been able to get steaks, but it was easy enough to get burgers smuggled in. He looked less haggard when fed. Less like he was going to keel over and die sooner rather than later.
"They made a monster and let it get lose and it ravaged the Undercity, killing friends of a friend among others."
Nox picked up the food with sluggish movements and chewed slowly while glaring at Ashton. It made the simple act of eating sinster and creepy and Ashton gulped. "I don't have a choice in this. I don't want to end up like you."
His face softened and he nodded. "I know. Let me out of here and I will end this misery for the lot of you."
"I don't know. If I get caught." Ashton sighed. "I'm going to inject you again. I need to havest larger peices this time, and from several places. I don't want you awake for this. It's horrible. I hate listening to the screams but I don't have to with you."
Ashton reached into the bag and pulled out one of the last two syringes. Heavy foot steps echoed in the stair well. A laugh came from the door. "Oh my dear boy." Cedric cackled with glee. "I'm just in time." The voice startled Aston and the glass syringe plummetted to the ground shattering and the clear liquid spread across the basement floor.
"I want to hear him scream!" Cedric laughed and moved closer to the bars.
In a flurry of movement Nox was on his feat. Fury in his eyes and his hand grasped Cedric's throat with an iron grip. He was weak but the cannibal was still dangling from the ground just a hairs breath from touching. Strangled sounds came from Cedric's lips as he tried to pry the hands from his throat.
Ashton pulled the last syringe out of the bag and jabbed it in Nox's neck and squeezed the plunger. It took a few moments as the light faded and he fought to stay conscious, a sly smile drew across his lips as he fell to the floor.
"Why did you do that?" Cedric pouted and whined. "Now I can't hear him scream."
"I could have let him kill you instead."
"You could have hacked off his other arm." Cedric growled before stomping off up the stairs defeated.
