SOLD TO MR GRAYSON - EPISODE 8

Natalie’s POV

“What’s the problem Manny?” Carter asked.

“Chance hasn’t paid his money yet sir,” Manny boomed. Carter’s jaw clenched and he leaned back in the kitchen chair.

“Bring him to me,” Carter ordered, “Kai, Cole, go with him.”

“Yes sir,” Cole smirked. Cole and Kai left with Manny, and I got a bad feeling. What just happened?

“Do you want me to start digging?”Kent asked. Wait what?

“No,” Carter sighed,”He’s going to be tortured first.” My eyes widened, and I swallowed the last bit of my pancakes.

“What are you going to do to him?” I asked.

“I’m going to make him pay,” Carter smirked. AJ and Kent smirked as well which made me feel uneasy. I slowly got up, and cleaned my plate.

I decided to go into the living room, and watch some TV. As I watched the food channel Carter came in, and lit the fire place. Then he came and sat down next to me.

“So this morning,” he smirked.

“Yeah I out ran all of you,” I chuckled.

“No not that,” he smirked. I thought back to this morning then, I remembered back to when I fell off of the bed. Cuddling.

“Oh god,”I sighed.

“You were just cuddling up to me like there was no tomorrow,” he smirked.

“Shut u-,” I was cutoff by the door opening. In came Cole and Kai dragging a man who was doing everything in his power to get away.

Manny followed them, with a shot gun in his hands. Why does he have that?

Carter stood up and cracked his knuckles.42

“Put him on the table,” Carter ordered,”Kent, AJ get in here….and bring the blacksmith tongs.”

I sat on the couch and watched, to be honest I was to scared to move.

Cole and Kai held the man on the coffee table, and the man tried to get free. It was then that I realized that the man had a blindfold over his eyes, and duct tape over his mouth.

Kent and AJ came into the room, and Kent had the blacksmith tongs.

Carter ripped the duct tape off the guys face, not being gentle what so ever. The man screamed in agony, then AJ took off the mans blindfold.

“Carter dude I was gonna pay you back I swear,” the man panicked.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” Carter mumbled,”Thats what you said the last time Chance.”

“Come on man I’ll pay you back I promise,” his voice trailed off at the end. I feel really bad for this guy.

“Well Chance I’ve given you enough passes,” Carter sighed, “AJ go get my blowtorch.”

“Alright,” AJ smirked. Chance looked at me for help and I sat there. I didn’t know what to do.

“Natalie come here,” Carter ordered. I stood up and walked over to him.

“Take this,” Carter huffed, and handed me the blacksmith tongs,”Go hold them over the fire.

Let me know when it gets bright orange.”
I stood there, and looked at him like he was crazy.

“W-What are you gonna do to him?” I asked.

“Don’t worry about it,” he smirked,”You’ll see later.”

I just looked at him then walked over to the fire.

Cole then delivered a punch to Chance’s stomach. He groaned, and Cole smirked.

Aj came back into the room with the blowtorch. He handed the blowtorch to Carter, and he lit it.

“You know Chance,” Carter began,”I like you as friend but, I’m really going to enjoy this.”

Carter held the blowtorch to Chance’s stomach, and his clothes caught on fire.

Chance yelled in agony, and he thrashed around but Cole and Kai held him tightly. I stared in terror as the fire got bigger.

“Manny put him out,” Carter smirked. Manny put out Chance with a bucket of water, then threw the bucket at his head.

I could see the burnt flesh through Chance’s burnt shirt. It made me want to throw up.

I looked at the tongs, and they were bright orange.

I looked at Carter and he was ordering Manny to punch Chance in gut, where his flesh was burnt.

Manny did as he was told and Chance screamed in pain, and tears ran down his face. What can I do to stop this? Nothing.

“C-Carter,” I mumbled. He didn’t here me. “C-Carter,” I said a little bit louder. He still couldn’t here me over Chances screams. I need to get out of here.

“Carter,” I yelled. He looked at me, and I handed him the glowing tongs. He took them, and I quickly walked toward the staircase.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Carter asked.

“U-Upstairs,” I replied.
“No you’re not,” he chuckled,”Get back over here.” I stood my ground, with my back faced to him. “Natalie get over here!” Carter yelled.

I didn’t reply, I didn’t want to look at Chance, and I did not want to be here. Soon an angry Carter roughly grabbed my arm, and dragged me back over to the coffee table.

“Look at him Natalie,” Carter growled. I looked away, then Carter grabbed my face and made me look at Chance.

His face was in pain, and he was looking really pale.

“Do you have to do this?” I asked.

“Yeah I do,” he smiled,”This is what happens when you disrespect me.”

“Can’t you just starve him,” I pleaded.

“Nope,” Carter frowned,”Alright Kai, give me the tongs.” Kai handed him the tongs, and Carter put the hot end on Chance’s cheek.

He cried out in pain, and begged him to stop. I looked away not wanting to see this anymore.
After 20 minutes of nonstop torture Carter got bored.

“Where’s my gun?” Carter mumbled.

“Right here boss man,” Kent smirked, and handed Carter his gun.

“It’s been real nice knowing you Chance,” Carter smirked. Is he gonna do what I think he’s gonna do?

“No Carter please don’t,” Chance begged.

“Don’t worry we’ll buy you flowers,” Cole sighed. Carter held his gun up, and pulled the trigger.

All I saw was blood go everywhere. I stood there frozen, and I sank to my knees.

“Y-You killed him,” I breathed.

“Yep,” Kent sighed, and dumped Chances body onto the carpet. Kent and Kai rolled Chances body up in a rug, and carried it outside.

Tears rolled down my cheeks, as I mentally yelled at myself for not stopping Carter.

I could’ve done something. Carter walked over to me, and squatted down in front of me.

“Hey,” he sighed,”Get over it. You’re going to be seeing a lot of this so stop your crying. There is nothing to cry about.”

He got up and walked away from me. D!ck. I got up and looked at my clothes, they were spattered with blood.

I slowly got up, and walked up stairs. I went up to my room, and got in the shower.

I stayed in the shower until the water turned cold.

I got out then got dressed in some comfortable clothes. I didn’t really know what to do when I got done getting changed.

I decided to lay down, and take a nap. I always take naps when I’m sad, stressed, confused, or when I’m just tired.

I didn’t know how long I slept, but when Kent came in and woke me up it was dark outside.

“Finally you got up,” Kent smiled,”It’s 6:00pm you need to get dressed.”

“How long have I been asleep, and why do I need to get dressed?” I asked.

“You’ve been asleep since noon, and we have to go to a dinner at Moms house,” he replied, and walked toward the door,”Hurry up we leave in 5 minutes.”

I got up and changed into some blue jeans, a purple jersey knit shirt with Dolman sleeves (it’s a flowy purple top), and some knee high black boot heels.

I brushed my hair, and left it in it’s wavy state. I added some foundation, mascara, and just a little bit of eyeliner. I slid my phone in my back pocket, and walked out of the bedroom.

“It’s about time,” Kai huffed, as I walked down the stairs.

I gave him a look but stayed silent. Carter came up to us, and told us to go out to the car.

He was dressed in a black button up shirt, and some fitted blue jeans that made his butt look really good. Don’t think like that Natalie. He’s a killer.

We walked out to the car, and we got in. Carter slid in next to me, and he looked at me. I looked down at my lap, and twiddled my thumbs.

“Its what us gang leaders do Natalie,” Carter sighed,”We kill those who disrespect our orders. Its how you stay at the top.

I kill, my father has killed, your father has killed, and so has your brother.”

I looked at him, and he looked like he was telling the truth. I nodded my head and sighed.

“I-It’s just so,” I paused,”Gruesome.”

“That’s life sweetheart,” Cole commented, from the drivers seat. He’s lucky I’m scared of him or else I would slap him.

The car ride was silent, until we pulled up to Carter’s parents house.

“Food,” Kai chanted, and got out of the car. We followed behind him, and Carter laced his fingers with mine. I wasn’t expecting it, and I looked at him.

“Act like we’re dating and this night will go a lot smoother,” Carter whispered, as we got up to the door.

“Why?” I asked.

“Everyone thinks that Carter only dates floozies,” AJ laughed.

“So I’ve heard,” I smirked. Carter huffed, and ran a hand through his hair.

“They weren’t floozies,” Carter groaned.

“Dude half of them were strippers, and the other half were prostitutes,” Kent added. I looked at Carter with wide eyes.

“Well then I’m way out of your league,” I chuckled. Carter rolled his eyes, and opened the door to his parents house.

“Mom I’m home,” Kent and AJ yelled.

“Hello losers,” a tall tan guy with brown hair, and brown eyes smiled.

“Tommy,” Kent, AJ, and Kai yelled.

“Is that your brother?” I whispered to Carter.

“Yeah,” he sighed. I can see the family resemblance. Thomas looks like their mom, and Carter looks like their dad.

“He looks like your mom,” I smiled.

Carter chuckled,”That’s why I call him Tammy.” I laughed, and I looked at Thomas.

After he bro hugged AJ, Kent, Kai, and Cole he looked at me with wide eyes.

“Well, well, well,” He smirked,”Who do we have here?”

“This is my girlfriend Natalie,” Carter smirked.

“She’s not the typical floozy you always have Car Car,” Thomas smirked.

“You seem to like those floozies Carter,” I laughed.

”
Carter,” I laughed.

“Shut up,” he frowned. Thomas chuckled and looked at me intriguingly.

“Natalie I feel like we’re going to get along just fine,” he smiled. I was about to reply but Carter interrupted me.

“Hey Tammy where’s your wife?”he smirked.

“In the dining room setting up the table,” he replied,”And the kids are over there.” Thomas pointed to a play pen set up in the middle of the living room.

“Your niece and nephew have been wondering where you were,”Thomas smiled.

“Don’t worry kids Uncle Carter is here,” Carter smiled, and walked towards the play pen.

What? Who is this man and where the h*ll did Carter go?

When Carter got to the play pen he picked up two toddlers. He placed a kiss on each of their little heads and they smiled.

“Did you miss me,”Carter cooed. I walked over to Kent, and looked at Carter.

“Who is that?” I asked.

“That’s the Alternate Carter,” he replied,”He only comes out when those twins are around.”

“Oh,” I nodded.

“Natalie,” Violet smiled,”You came.”

“Hello Mrs. Grayson,”I smiled, and hugged her.

“You look gorgeous,”she complimented.

“Thank you,” I replied,”You look great too.” She had on a floral top, and some blue jeans. She is one stylish mother.

“Thank you sweetie,” she smiled, “Dinner is done kids lets eat.”

I followed her into the dining room, and there was a lady with black hair arranging the food. Carter went up to her, and handed her the little girl twin.

I sat down next to AJ, and Carter sat on the other side of me.

“Who is this?” the lady with black hair asked.

“That’s Carter’s girlfriend, Natalie,” Thomas smirked. The lady’s eyes went wide.

“You’re dating,” Mrs. Grayson beamed.

“Wow Carter she is so different from the other girls,” the lady smiled.

“Yeah, I’m no floozy,” I smirked, and looked at Carter. He rolled his eyes, and bounced the little boy on his lap.

“I like her,” the lady laughed.

“Natalie that’s Thomas’s wife, Dana,” Carter introduced,”And these are the twins Lily and Lucas.”

“Hi,” I waved.

“Where’s Ol’ Patrick?” Kai asked.

“I’m right here,”Mr. Grayson’s voice boomed,”Lets eat shall we.”
