My Own Worst Enemy 12

“Good evening Cullens.”Athenodora greeted the prisoners when she walked into the dungeon. She smiled brightly at the obvious fear that her presence caused. The only ones who didn’t look afraid were Edward and Carlisle but when the other two queens and the Denali sisters entered the room followed by 6 guards holding cameras the confidence they had seemed to fade. Athenodora knew that by the time they were done with them the pair would be begging for mercy. Not that anyone would give them any.

“Shit.”Emmett was feeling very afraid when all 12 of the visitors piled into the dungeon. He wasn’t quite sure what the cameras were for but he suspected nothing good was about to happen.

“Where is Bella?”Edward wasn’t afraid of the queens or the Denali sisters. Bella may have been under their control but she would prevent anything bad happening to him. Even though the others claimed Bella was the one who sentenced him to death Edward didn’t believe it. Mates wouldn’t do such a thing.

“Who should we start with?”Kate asked ignoring Edward’s question.

“First give the blood to the others.”Didyme said causing a guard to hand bottles of red liquid to Alice, Emmett and Jasper.

Although afraid to ask Jasper did anyway.”What is this?”

“That is synthetic blood.”Seeing the shocked faces of the trio Sulpicia rolled her eyes.”We are not heartless. We aren’t going to force you to drink from humans.”

“Thank you your majesty.”Alice didn’t understand why they were being given the synthetic blood but wasn’t going to complain. Popping the cap off the bottle and taking a sip Alice was surprised by the taste.”This isn’t human blood?”

“Bella created the blood to taste as close to human blood as she could.”Irina told her.

“Bella created this?”Emmett didn’t think Bella was capable of such a thing.

“The princess has created many things to make vampires’ lives easier. The blood being something that would take the place of human blood so we don’t have to worry about finding humans to feed from. That or trying to get a supply of bagged blood.” Didyme didn’t owe them any explanations but would never pass up the chance to brag about Bella’s achievements.

“It’s very good.”Jasper hadn’t expected the blood to taste so close to human blood. It was the perfect alternative to killing humans.

“If you had this blood why did you make me drink human blood?”Edward asked.

“Because you don’t deserve to benefit from anything having to do with Bella.”Athenodora told him.

“That and making you drink human blood is just another way to annoy you.”Tanya said.

“Let’s get to the reason we are here.”Kate wanted to get to the torture.

“Cullens as part of your punishment you were told you would be receiving regular visits from the Denali, myself, my mates and the royal guard to show our displeasure. This will be your first official visit. However we will be focusing on just Edward, Esme and Carlisle today.”Sulpicia explained.

“Thank you for showing us mercy your majesty.”Jasper felt relieved that they weren’t going to be touched this time. He wasn’t naive enough to think that they weren’t going to be targeted in the future but would take whatever reprieve him and his mate could get.

“How should we do this?”Athenodora asked.

“I think we all want to watch as they are tortured so it would be best to do one at a time I think.”Irina suggested.

“Let’s start with Esme.”Didyme wanted Esme to suffer the most.

“Open the cell and begin recording.”Sulpicia ordered the guards.

“I want cameras on Carlisle and Edward the whole time.”Irina didn’t want to miss out on their reactions.

"Good idea. I’m sure Rosalie would enjoy seeing their reactions.”Didyme said.

“Rosalie wouldn’t enjoy seeing anyone being tortured.”Esme knew that her daughter wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt.

Kate laughed.”Rosalie asked to not only hurt both you and Edward but she wanted to be the one to kill Carlisle.”

“You have brainwashed her as well it seems.”Carlisle was saddened to hear that Rosalie was under the queens’ influence.

“The only one brainwashed is you.”Didyme had told Tanya and the others about Carlisle’s plan to separate her from her mates and Tanya thought the man was mentally unstable. It was the only reason that he would even think he had a chance to break up a triad that had been mated for over a thousand years.

“Enough out of you. Let’s focus on Esme.”Athenodora walked into the cell and grabbed Esme by the throat and lifted her in the air.”I have waited decades for this moment and I’m going to enjoy hearing every sound of pain you make.”

“I have done nothing wrong.”Esme chocked out.

“Nothing wrong!Nothing wrong!!”Irina roared as she wrenched Esme out of Athenodora’s grip. She slammed the woman to the ground hard enough that the cement floor crumbled underneath her. Straddling the woman Irina continuously punched her in the face until Tanya pulled her off.

“My love, leave some for the rest of us.”Tanya was more than willing to let Irina have her fun but the rest of them wanted their pound of flesh as well.

Irina sagged in Tanya’s arms. Her mate was right. Everyone else deserved a turn. Looking at Esme face she took satisfaction in the way her eye socket was sunken in, her crooked nose and the numerous cracks along her cheeks and forehead.”I am only stopping because I know I will get many more chances in the future.”

“Since we were interrupted let’s try this again.”Athenodora grabbed Esme by the throat and lifted her in the air again.

“Leave her alone!!”Carlisle screeched.

“You are filming him right?”Kate asked the guard pointing a camera at Carlisle’s cell. The guard nodded in reply.” Make sure you get a close up of his face. I really want to see his despair.”

“Please don’t do this.”Esme pleaded.

Athenodora ignored her pleas and ripped her arm off causing Esme to scream.”That felt good.”

“Take her other one.”Sulpicia wanted to be involved but watching Athenodora in all her glory was too good to pass up.

Athenodora did as she was told and ripped Esme’s other arm off. Glancing at her mate Athenodora instantly knew what she was thinking. Dropping Esme the queen wrapped her arms around Sulpicia and kissed her hard on the mouth. Just as she began tugging on the ties securing Sulpicia’s dress a throat clearing snapped her out of her lust filled haze. Pulling away she kissed Sulpicia softly and promised.”Later.”

“Definitely.”Sulpicia was going to get her mate naked as soon as they finished in the dungeon. She was so turned on that she wouldn’t be waiting until they got to their chambers either. Sulpicia was going to claim the first room they came across. If it was occupied she would just kick everyone out of it.

“I’m going to take her legs.”Didyme was already making plans for what she was going to do to both her mates when they were alone. First she wanted to cause Esme some pain. Stepping into the cell she wasted no time ripping both of Esme’s legs off. Once on the ground she kicked the woman hard in the torso.She felt extremely happy that they were recording everything because she would enjoy seeing Esme pained expression and hearing her cries of despair again.

“My turn.”Kate leaned down, put her hand on Esme’s shoulder and using her gift on the highest setting sent jolts of electricity though what was left of Esme’s body.

“That’s a beautiful sound.”Athenodora commented listening to Esme’s screams.

“I think we should focus on Edward next. I want Carlisle to be fully aware of what is happening to the boy.”Sulpicia suggested when Kate was done with Esme.

“No leave my son alone.”Carlisle struggled against the bars of his cell. He couldn’t allow them to touch Edward.

“You seem more concerned with Edward than your mate.”Didyme noticed that Carlisle barely objected to their treatment of Esme.

“He has always favored Edward.”Irina said.

“If it wasn’t obvious that Esme was his mate I would say the pair were mated to each other.”Athenodora wondered if Carlisle had two mate bonds.”Then again he could be mated to Edward as well.”

“You know I had never thought of that being an option. You may be right though.”Kate felt foolish for never considering that Carlisle and Edward would be mated. It wasn’t unheard of for one person to have two mate bonds. Not every triad was like the Denali and the queens. Sometimes there was a singular person with two mates while the other two aren’t mated to each other.

“Edward being his first turned would have created a stronger bond between the pair.”Tanya could easily see Carlisle and Edward mated.

“It’s just like the group of degenerates you are to come up with something as disgusting as the idea I was mated to Carlisle.”Edward knew he wasn’t mated to his father.

“Unlock his cell.”Didyme ordered the guard. Once it was open she wasted no time punching Edward in the face.

“Leave him alone!!”Carlisle rammed into the bars of his cell but it was no use.

Didyme ignored Carlisle while she continued to pummel Edward. Edward tried to put up a fight but without his gift he was completely outmatched. After she removed his arm Edward curled up on the ground in the fetal position and began sobbing.”You are pitiful.”

“My love go slow. Start with his fingers.”Athenodora wanted to draw this out.

“I don’t know if he would make it through that much torture.”Irina said.

“It’s Carlisle who isn’t going to make it through it.”Kate pointed to Carlisle who had taken to clawing at the floor trying to dig under the bars to break out.

“I’m going to remove his arms.”Tanya wanted to make Carlisle feel truly helpless. She gave the guard who opened Carlisle’s cell a nod of appreciation and entered.

“I won’t let you get away with this.”Carlisle rushed Tanya taking the opportunity to escape his cell. His attempt was thwarted by Tanya’s grip on his shoulder. When he felt his arm being ripped off he screamed. Trying to fight through the pain Carlisle struggled out of Tanya’s hold but it was no use. Despite his best effort Tanya easily took his other arm. Overcome with despair Carlisle dropped to his knees. Breathing heavily he glared at Tanya.”I will make you pay for what you have done to me and my family.”

Kate laughed.”How are you going to do that?”

“I will come up with something.”Carlisle was going to kill every single one of them. Then he was going to take the throne for himself. These immoral women weren’t worthy enough to rule over vampires.

“Let’s get back to Edward.”Athenodora walked into his cell and kicked him hard causing the boy to sob harder.

“I like your idea of taking his fingers.”Irina said.

“I’ll hold his arm.”Athenodora knelt next to Edward and easily pried his arm from where he was clutching it to his body.

“Do you want to do the honors?”Didyme asked Sulpicia.

“I would love to hurt anyone who thought it acceptable to make a false claim on Bella.”Sulpicia knelt next to Athenodora and slowly removed each of Edward’s fingers.

“Please stop. I’ll do anything. Just don’t hurt me.”Edward choked out in between sobs.

“And here comes the pleading.”Kate had expected Edward would have broke a lot quicker. She probably could count the sobbing as breaking though.

Sulpicia took Edward’s hand next and once she took his arm she stood.”Who wants his legs?”

“I do.”Irina didn’t want to miss her chance at Edward. Looking at the boy she shook her head. It was almost unbelievable to think that Bella was so effected by the pitiful excuse for a vampire. Irina stomped hard on his torso before grabbing his leg and twisted it. She repeated the process with the other leg. Once done she kicked him again.

“And now the finale.”Kate said as she laid her hand on his shoulder and used her gift on him.

“What should we do about Carlisle?”Didyme asked.

“I think we should just leave him like that. That way he is fully aware of the suffering Edward and Esme are going through.”Athenodora suggested.

“It would be more torturous for him to have to see the effects of what we have done to the pair than him spending the time recovering.”Irina liked the thought of Carlisle having to watch and listen to Edward and Esme in their state of despair.

“You’re right it would.”Tanya agreed.

“Leave them all like this until we send word to put them back together. I want those with the handheld cameras to continue recording them. Take shifts to give everyone breaks. I don’t want to miss a second of what they do.”Sulpicia ordered the guards.

“Yes your majesty.”The guard replied.

“Cullens we are done with you for now but don’t worry we will visit again.”Sulpicia warned. Taking Athenodora and Didyme’s hand in her own she dismissed the Cullen’s from her mind.” Let’s go my loves. I wish to spend some time with you.”

“We all know exactly what that means.”Kate said.

Irina reached for Kate’s hand.”Like you weren’t thinking the same thing.”

“Oh I was.”Kate confirmed. She was extremely turned on from not only getting to torture Carlisle, Esme and Edward but from watching her mates do so as well.

“Then why are you teasing the queens?”Tanya asked taking Kate’s other hand.

“Because I can.”Kate took any chance she could to tease people.

“Well you can do that later.”Irina didn’t want to waste anymore time.

“Yes because right now I want to do you.”Kate said earning twin groans from both Tanya and Irina. Kate just smiled. She knew her mates loved her. That meant they loved her quips. Even if they pretended they didn’t. Taking one last look at the damage they caused Kate smiled. She was excited to watch the replay with Bella and Rosalie later. The pair were going to no doubt be very happy with how things went. It was just to bad that Rosalie wouldn’t get a chance to hurt Carlisle. Kate wanted to be the one who killed him but if Rosalie was able she would have stepped aside for the other blond. Out of all of them Rosalie had been wronged the most. Kate couldn’t even imagine what Rosalie had felt being forced to treat her own mate so horribly. Kate predicted a lot of mental healing would have to happen before Rosalie could fully forgive herself. Kate and the others would help her though. That would happen later. Kate had more important things to think about right then. Things like finding a room to get her mates alone. Seeing the queens enter the first door in the hallway Kate quickened her steps. The next room was at the end of the hallway and Kate knew it was going to be occupied. That meant she would have to kick a bunch of vampires out of it. Not the she cared. It would just take time. Something she didn’t want to waste. Not like anyone could blame her. Her mates were smoking hot. Anyone in Kate’s position would want to get them naked.
