A hit to the back of the head like that usually would have put someone out cold for quite a while.
Raegan let out a sigh of relief, but to her amazement, Lauren was back on her feet in no time.
Lauren recovered with a speed that was startling.
âYouâre going to meet your end at my hands today! You bitch!â Lauren cackled wildly as she approached Raegan, her face marred by oozing sores, adding to her ghastly appearance.
Before Raegan could even stand, Laurenâs hand was clamped tightly around her throat.
Laurenâs fingers, thin and bony, felt like they were leeching Raeganâs very essence away.
Drops of Laurenâs blood fell on Raeganâs face, making Lauren seem even more like a creature from a nightmare.
Lauren kept hissing, âDie! Die! Rotten in the hell!â
Raegan struggled for air, her sight beginning to blur and whiten.
Suddenly, Lauren released Raegan, yelling in pain.
âYou deranged creature! Nowâs not the time for killing.
Sheâs still of use!â It turned out two burly men had intervened, grabbing Lauren by her thinning hair and tossing her aside with force.
Laurenâs screams filled the air.
âAhâ¦â
Laurenâs skin, weakened from prolonged medical treatment, was fragile like overripe fruit.
When the man roughly yanked, a large patch of her scalp came off.
The agony was unbearable!
Lauren writhed on the floor, clutching her head and screaming in pain.
The heavier man, disgusted by the bloody scalp in his hand, threw it back at Laurenâs face.
Fuming, he shouted, âQuit your screaming! For heavenâs sake, shut up already!â
But Lauren couldnât stop.
Even with her enhanced healing due to the drug, losing her scalp was intensely painful.
âAhâ¦â Laurenâs cries continued as she clutched her head, the pain clearly overwhelming her.
The heavier man kicked Lauren, annoyed, saying, âSilence, you monster! Didnât you hear me?â
The tall man, wearing a hat, intervened to stop the chaos.
âHey, stop it.
If she dies now, whoâs going to take the blame later?â
The heavier man hesitated and spat out in disgust.
âDisgusting creature! Canât stand the sight of her.
Might ruin my meals for days.
â
The tall man, equally repulsed, threw his hat over Laurenâs face, grimacing.
âCover that up.
Itâs revolting!â
Subdued by the kicks, Lauren dared not make another sound.
The tall man kicked Lauren once more, pointing at Raegan, and ordered, âSheâs not to be touched yet.
You better follow orders.
Understand?â
Cowed, Lauren just nodded.
Lauren, despite her madness, showed an unusual level of obedience at this moment.
