Chapter 4

                                    

                                          
It had been so long since Princeton had held a whip in his hand.  They had told Nicki that they got rid of it but they'd kept it hidden all this time.  He couldn't believe how alive he felt gripping it strongly.  It was practically the middle of the night.  He couldn't believe how hard it was to keep a smile off of his face.  He felt a danger inside him, one that was dormant for a while, try to surface.  He felt Princeten trying to break free of his control.
                          
Ray Ray's hands were bound to his bed.  He was kneeling on the floor listening to Princeton suppressing a chuckle.  "Prince you call me crazy for craving the violence again . . . but you're just as sick and bored as I am." He commented.
                          
"Shut up Ray." Princeton snapped. "Unlike you I'm not willing to hurt people." He spat.
                          
"Oh so it's true?" Ray Ray smirked. "You are bored and this made you . . . excited." Ray Ray laughed. "So I'm not the only one with chills running down my spine . . . the only thing that could make this better is if Jade was administering this punishment!"  He cackled.
                          
Princeton tried to groan. "Shut up! Ray!" He shuddered.  He had to admit that the thought of Jade joining this sounded far more appealing than it should have.  Their sick thirst for action was combining with slowly growing hormones.  It was disgusting.  He disgusted himself. "We need to do this . . . so that you don't hurt anyone else again.  You need to be taught a lesson!" Princeton spat.  He had to wipe saliva from his chin.  Sick, he thought, they were both sick.
                          
"Teach me!  I'm ready to learn!" Ray yelled.
                          
Princeton raised the whip over his head and brought it down on Ray Ray's exposed back.  He started laughing.  Having that power felt good.
                          
Ray Ray screamed then laughed, writhing in pain.  He'd missed the pain.  He liked it.  He loved it!  Why wasn't Jade here?
                          
"Guys?" A timid voice asked.
                          
Both of them turned suddenly.  Princeton dropped the whip and Ray Ray wiped the sick smile off his face.
                          
"Oh hey Leigh-Anne?" Princeton said awkwardly.
                          
"What might you be doing up at one in the morning?" Ray Ray asked wincing. The pain still hurt.
                          
"What on Earth are you guys doing?" She said in a harsh yet scared whisper.
                          
Princeton looked to Ray Ray then at Leigh-Anne. He sighed and shrugged. "P-playing?"
                          
Leigh-Anne flipped the light switch on since they were only seeing by a dim lamp near one of their beds.  "Not this rubbish again." She said in disappointment.  "Give it." She held out her hand expectantly for the whip.
                          
Princeton picked it up quickly and fumbled to get it in her hands.  He hung his head in shame.  All thoughts of sick enjoyment completely gone.
                          
"I'm confiscating this." She said sternly.  She moved to Ray Ray and untied his hands from the bed post. "Both of you go to bed." She said.
                          
"Why do you need to take it?" Ray Ray asked in a sort of panic. "Can't you and Jesy play your kinky lesby games without it?" He spat in frustration.
                          
"Our what?" Leigh-Anne looked completely bewildered.
                          
 He sucked in a breath. "Nevermind.  I'm sorry.  That was rude of me.  And you're right.  This is stupid."
                          
"Yeah we're sorry." Princeton mumbled.
                          
Leigh-Anne sighed. "Apology accepted.  Now go to bed." She stomped out of their room, closing the door lightly behind her.

Monday at school was even more miserable than usual for Perrie. She was having gym last period and she wasn't allowed to run around like the other children because of her sprained ankle.   She didn't really enjoy running with the other kids but being on the sidelines was her being different in another way.
