Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1161 Removing The Bandage
Arron’s POV:
Lee trailed the gun down to the bottom of my neck, past my collarbone, and finally ended at my chest. Then he made a popping sound, which I supposed was his take at the sound of a gunshot,
At this point, my bandages were soaked with sweat. I held my breath, not daring to make a single move. I really thought he would shoot me there and then.
He was so close. It would have been at point-blank range, and I would be dead on the spot.
Lee was still eyeing me carefully, but he didn’t seem eager to kill me anymore. Tn the end, he breathed a long sigh. “You’re smart, you know. It’s too bad you’re too young and don’t have a wolf yet. If you do, you might have just escaped.”
The man holding me growled. “Even if he escaped, he wouldn’t get very far. This twerp would never survive a couple of days alone in the wilderness.”
Lee snorted. “I’m not sure about him, but if he really did escape, you guys surely won’t live to see another day.”
All three kidnappers immediately shut their mouths and ducked their heads.
“Watch them closely. If something happens again, f won’t spare any of you.” With that warning, Lee turned on his heel and left.
Relief washed over me. As long as I was alive, I still had a chance for escape, no matter how slim.
Mommy should have discovered that I was missing by now. She must be out searching for me. And I knew in my heart that she would find me soon.
The trio visibly relaxed once Lee was gone. They shed their frightened expressions and proceeded to curse and rant.
Among them, the red clown mask man was the angriest. He hiked me further up and hung my collar on the highest branch he could reach.
I was about fifteen feet high, and the tree itself was still young, its trunk rather thin. It swayed from my weight. I shut my eyes tightly, not daring to look down.
“How dare you run away, you little brat? Let’s see if you’re brave enough to flee again. Jump down if you dare!” As he spoke, the man pushed against the tree trunk, causing all the branches to shake. T was gritting my teeth with fear, my hands clenching my trousers in tiny fists. I kept perfectly still, afraid that the branch would snap and I would fall to my death.
“You have to admit, this little guy is pretty stubborn. Look at how scared he is, yet he still refuses to say a word.” This came from the man in the black clown mask. He clicked his tongue impatiently. “Get him down from there and let me teach him a proper lesson. If it weren’t for him, Lee wouldn’t have been mad at us.”
The other man did as he was told. As luck would have it, my coat got caught at one of the branches, and as he pulled harder, the fabric ripped open.
I couldn’t help but burst into tears. I miss Mommy so much. When would she find me? What if these evil people cut my hands and feet before she got here? Even if I lake them with me, there was no way they could be attached back to my limbs.
The man with the black mask grabbed me and slapped me on both cheeks.
“It’s all your fault! If you had just stayed put, we wouldn’t have been berated so harshly.” I wept louder. I thought of Mommy, Beryl, Grandma, and even Uncle Long Legs.
“You’re finally crying,” Sally remarked with glee. After enduring five more slaps, she added, “It doesn’t hurt him enough. We should remove the bandages so that he could feel the full brunt of your hits.”
She was already grabbing me by the face and tugging at the bandages.
“Let me see just how ugly you are under there,” she grumbled. “If you’re hideous, we’ll let you go.” I struggled desperately against her, to no avail. Both men held me by the shoulders to keep me still.
My misery was now replaced with outrage, but no matter how much I wanted to fight them, I was no match against their strength.
When the bandage was fully removed, all three of them froze as they stared at my face.
