Eliza: Queen of Death By Littlesilverstar, silverstar222b@yahoo.com Locked up on death row, can Eliza fight her way to freedom? The trial had been a media circus. A female serial killer with the muscles of a bodybuilder and the beauty and femininity of a supermodel? A long list of male victims? A creative variety of methods of killing, with men beaten to death, sniped with crossbow bolts, machine-gunned, sliced and diced with swords, strangled, or simply stomped and perforated with high-heeled boots? Yes to all of those questions. The verdict - guilty on 22 counts of first-degree murder, and those were just the bodies that had been discovered. And finally, the sentence. Execution by lethal injection. Throughout the whole trial, Eliza hadn't said a single word. She hadn't testified, and she hadn't made any statements to the media. And her beautiful face had never shown one hint of emotion, not even at the reading of the guilty verdict, not even at the announcement of the death sentence. She remained an enigma to all those who wondered about her. What was she thinking? Why had she done it? And why was such a brutal, ruthless, determined woman seemingly so accepting of her fate? Now, she was here, locked away in the state's highest-security prison to await her destiny. Because she was the only female death-row inmate at the facility, she had an entire wing to herself. A dimly lit hallway led to a massive, heavy steel door, openable only with a qualified guard's palm and retina. Beyond the door was a long row of empty cells. At the very end was Eliza's cell, eight feet square, concrete and windowless. There was a cot, a toilet, a sink, and not much else. Two guards were stationed just outside her cell at all times. There were three pairs of them, each working in eight-hour shifts. From their little security station, they monitored Eliza at all times through the cameras in her cell, and delivered her food through the slot in the heavy cell door. Eliza stood up from the cot. She began warming up for her gymnastics practice that she performed each day in her cell, stretching her arms and legs, then showing off her flexibility by dropping into a full 180 degree split. She knew they were watching. They always were. She was an exceptionally beautiful woman. Twenty-four years old, she had shoulder-length wavy dark brown hair, large dark brown eyes, and the elegant, high-cheekboned face of a supermodel. Years of gymnastics training, heavy workouts, and excellent genes had granted Eliza her 5'6", 147-pound body, heavily muscled but still feminine. Her ass was round and steel-hard, her wasp waist was surprisingly slender for a woman of her build, and her buxom C-cup tits were firm and perky. Her part Latina and Middle Eastern heritage had given her deeply tanned brown skin that remained dark even hidden away from the sun. Eliza stood up and stretched her heavily muscled arms one last time, deliberately angling her body so that her rock-hard six-pack abs, showing in the gap between her pants and top, were aimed directly at one of the cameras. She knew the guards outside were getting excited. No matter how much they claimed to hate her for what she had done, men couldn't help but be attracted to her for her muscles, gymnastics skills, and femininity. Even in the orange prison uniform, her body still looked sexy. She began her routine with a straddle press handstand, showing off her upper body strength. Her bulging biceps and massive forearms, displayed by the short-sleeved top, rippled with power. Eliza's thick wrists measured almost seven and a half inches around, and they held up her body weight effortlessly. She did the splits in her handstand, spinning herself around before gracefully flipping back onto her feet. She then moved to a corner of the cell, doing a standing tumbling pass of a back handspring, whipback, full twist. That was about all she had room for in the tiny cell. Turning around, she then performed two standing back handsprings to a double full. She turned around once again and executed a perfect standing full, raising her arms in the stereotypical gymnastic "Y" shape after landing. Then Eliza did another standing full. But this time, something went wrong. She landed hard on her head and lay there motionless. "Shit," said one of the guards, looking up from his monitor. "We'd better check on her." "What if it's some sort of trick?" asked the second guard. "How could someone do a trick landing like that on her head? It's got to be real. Come on." He unlocked the cell door with his key, entering cautiously despite his confident words, his baton ready in his hand. His comrade followed, pressing a button on his walkie-talkie. Eliza moved with almost superhuman speed. Before the guards' brains could process what was happening, her foot crashed into the first man's jaw with a lightning-fast kick. The sound of bone shattering accompanied the heavy thud as he fell backwards directly into his companion. Both men toppled to the cold concrete floor. The baton and the walkie-talkie clattered down a second later. A swift cartwheel took Eliza over to the second guard. She looked down at him dominantly. His fallen walkie-talkie squawked. She stomped down on it, crushing it to pieces underneath her heel, enjoying the look of terror in her victim's eyes. "Your turn." With that, she stomped hard on the man's throat, crushing his windpipe. Eliza backflipped over to the first guard, who had just opened his eyes and was rubbing his broken jaw. Still dizzy, he looked up at her. "You'll never get away with this...You can't get out without my palm and my retina..." She jumped on him and grabbed his wrist, noting with pleasure how much thicker and darker hers was compared to his, then grabbed him around the throat with her other hand. "I have them both right here." She saw the beads of sweat from his fear roll down his face, but she also saw something else. Sexual attraction. She smirked. "You're turned on that my forearms are bigger than yours even though I'm a girl and you're supposed to be a man." He turned away in shame, guilty as charged. She laughed. "What a schmoe." The man began to beg, trying to get the words out from behind her hand on his neck. "Please...my wife... my kids...I can't..." With a flick of her muscular wrist, she snapped his neck one-handed like a dry twig, shutting him up. Eliza stood up straight, knowing she didn't have much time. The guards in the central command center had surely seen what had happened on the cameras. Picking up the corpse of the man she had just killed, she hurried out of the cell, able to handle his weight easily. She didn't waste time going through their equipment. Guards inside the walls didn't carry guns, and her fists and feet would be more lethal than any baton. Reaching the heavy steel door in the middle of the hallway, she pressed the dead man's hand to the palm scanner. There was a beep and one of the two red lights turned green. She then swiftly gouged out the guard's eye, not flinching at all from the gruesome work. She held it up to the retinal scanner. Another beep and the second light was green. She pulled the door open. The end of the hallway was forty feet away... Suddenly, a maze of red laser beams filled the hall, blocking her path. A rat that had been scurrying around was hit by one of the lasers and vaporized into ashes. Eliza's expression remained calm. Raising her toned arms, she performed a roundoff followed by a series of back handsprings, backflipping like the pro-gymnast she was safely through the lasers. At the end of her tumbling run, she looked directly into a nearby security camera, blew it a mocking kiss, and laughed. She turned serious again, knowing she still had far to go. There were cameras everywhere, and the guards could track her easily as long as the cameras were running. It was time for the next phase of her plan. In the central command center, two male guards with female gymnast fetishes were talking, hoping that the other men in the room wouldn't notice their hard-ons. "Did you see the way she just backflipped through those lasers like they were nothing?" whispered one man, unable to hide the awe in his voice. "Yeah, that was incredible," the other guard whispered back. "I know she could and would easily slaughter us all, but her athleticism and femininity are just such a hot combination." Meanwhile, in the middle of the room, the warden was shouting orders into his walkie-talkie, his face pale with fear as he watched Eliza move swiftly though the corridors on the security screens. "She's heading for Cell Block D! All available guards inside, try to cut her off!" He paused for a quick breath, then pressed another button. "Dammit, I need men with guns in here! I want six men to head straight for Cell Block D, and six more to come straight here. She knows we can track her, so she'll try to take out the cameras. The rest of the men, spread out and be ready to move on a moment's notice!" He stamped his little feet. At 5'6", the warden had something of a Napoleon complex. But that shouldn't matter now, he thought. If there was ever a time he needed to be aggressive, this was it. Eliza was almost obsessively prepared as a serial killer. She had known that she might be caught someday, so early in her career she had studied the blueprints of every prison she might possibly be sent to and committed the knowledge of all the plans to her excellent memory. Now, it was paying off. As she rounded a corner, she almost bumped into two baton-wielding guards. Dodging their wild swings easily, she unleashed a high crescent kick, striking both men in their faces and knocking them to the floor. Raising her leg into a full vertical split, she brought it down onto the first guard's head in a lethal axe kick, shattering his skull like a ripe melon. The semi-conscious second guard tried to lift himself off the floor. He was greeted with Eliza's rising knee as she smashed it into the underside of his chin, breaking his neck with a sickening CRACK. Watching on the cameras, the warden gulped, shouting into his walkie-talkie for the armed men to hurry. Eliza didn't even bother to give the corpses a second glance as she moved on. In the next corridor, she saw a man with his back to her, mopping the floor. The word TRUSTY was on his orange uniform in large black letters. She snuck up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. As he turned around, she smashed a lethal palm strike into his face, driving the cartilage from his nose into his brain. By the time his corpse hit the floor, she had already turned the next corner. She found what she was looking for, what she remembered from her research - an ordinary-looking, unmarked door. It was locked, but a swift kick from her dancer's leg shattered it to pieces. Inside the room, she smiled as she saw the main server for the prison's computer system, placed here for easy access for the IT personnel if need be. And now, it was easy access for her. The warden froze in horror as he saw what Eliza was about to do. How had she know about that room? How had she outsmarted them all? The last thing he saw on the screen was the sexy babe ripping away the wires before all the monitors in the command center went black. Eliza entered a block of occupied cells. The male inmates inside stared at the beautiful woman, hard-ons appearing in many of their crotches at the sight of her muscles and hourglass figure. "Okay, boys, listen up," she announced. "Looks like you're getting early releases. Go on, get out of here. Just stay the hell out of my way." She pressed a button, unlocking all the cells. Most of the inmates began running, but a few of the men approached her. "Hey, baby," said one prisoner, licking his lips as he advanced, eyeing her hard body up and down. "I could use a woman like you. And I bet you could use a real man like me." Eliza rolled her dark brown eyes. As the dim-witted inmate stopped in front of her, she suddenly performed a standing back layout, breaking her victim's neck with the sheer power of her backflip kick. She landed perfectly on her feet, while the dead prisoner collapsed in a heap, his head swinging at an odd angle. The other men who had been advancing on her quickly reversed course and ran away with the rest of the inmates. She nodded in satisfaction. The more resources the authorities had to put into tracking down other escaped prisoners, the fewer resources they could spend on tracking her. She began running again, but suddenly whirled as she heard something behind her. Two men in tactical gear were standing about thirty feet away, aiming submachine guns at her. "It's over," said one of them cockily. "Now just surrender. You should know that there's no escape for you." Eliza's heart was racing, but she didn't panic. Instead, her soldier's mind was running through her options. She chose the one with the best chance of success. It was risky, but she had to try it. There was no way she was giving up. She knew that if she did, the guards wouldn't give her the chance to escape again. She raised her hands. "All right. You got me." The men smirked in triumph, looking at one another arrogantly. Eliza suddenly hurled her body into a roundoff followed by a series of whipbacks directly at the men, elegantly backflipping to them with blinding speed, becoming a blur of dark brown hair and dark brown skin. By the time the men looked back at her and their brains processed what was happening, she was on them, having covered the distance in less than two seconds. She completed her tumbling pass with a full twist, kicking both men as her body rotated, knocking them down. She landed right on top of one guard and snaked her muscular thighs around his neck. From the look in her opponent's eyes, she knew he was enjoying having her damp crotch right in his face despite his mortal fear. She gave a quick twist of her powerful hips, snapping his neck. "A moment in heaven before I sent him to hell," she thought to herself with a giggle. The second guard, dizzy and wounded from the impact of her flip kick, began to cry as he pleaded for his life. "Please! I have a wife and kids..." Eliza rolled her eyes. "You guys can't even come up with creative begging lines. Muh wife, muh keeids. That's what the last guy said. Didn't work for him, won't work for you." She snatched up his submachine gun. "No, please, don't shoot me..." "Okay." Eliza reversed the weapon and simply beat him to death with the butt of it. Smirking, she gathered up the other gun as well, along with each man's combat knife. The warden was pacing in agitation inside the central command center. Six guards stood ready with assault rifles and shotguns, while six more were frantically trying to fix the security system. "It's no use," said one man, standing up from a computer. "She fried the entire server at the source. There's nothing we can do from here. We'd have to send the IT guys back to the control room, and we can't do that while that psycho bitch Eliza is running loose. If soldiers didn't stand a chance against her, what chance would nerds have? And anyway, even when they can get access, it'll take hours, maybe days, to fix." "Fuck," said the warden. "That cunt. How is she so smart? Well, anyway, we'll get her sooner or later. This place is crawling with guards. It's only a matter of time. I just wish we had the cameras so we could see what's going on." Meanwhile, two of the armed guards were chatting. "Do you think she'll try to attack this place?" one wondered. "Nah," his comrade replied. "She's already taken out the security system. What reason would she have for coming here? There's over a dozen of us. It would be suicide. No, she's probably running away as fast as she c..." A perfectly thrown knife came whistling through the air, lodging in the speaker's throat and shutting him up permanently. A second knife impacted the man he had been talking to, in the heart this time. Then, like a beautiful but terrifying apparition, the figure of Eliza appeared, wielding a submachine gun in each hand. Two quick but well-aimed bursts eliminated the other four armed guards. Then she mowed down the rest of the men. The last two, the ones with the gymnast-girl fetishes that had been expressing sexual attraction to Eliza earlier, were shot in their backs as they tried to run away, slain by the object of their lust. She looked around. Her expert markswomanship had ensured kill shots on each victim. Only the warden was left. Quivering in terror, he raised his hands as Eliza advanced on him, the muscles in her thick, dark brown forearms at full strain as she aimed her guns. "I need you." "Yes, of course! I'll cooperate! Whatever you want, Miss Eliza!" The warden was sweating like a whore in church, but also feeling a strange attraction to this psycho babe. He had always had a fetish for girls with guns, and seeing this beautiful woman expertly machine-gun a room of men to death had caused his cock to rise. She stopped a few feet in front of him, a knowing smirk on her elegant face as she glaced at his boner. He reddened in shame. Pressing one submachine gun against his chest, she tossed the second weapon aside and touched his face with her free hand. Looking straight into his frightened eyes, she smiled at him. * * * A platoon of guards was hurrying across the prison courtyard. Suddenly, the warden appeared on a balcony above them. "I just got a report!" he called down. "Eliza was spotted running north into the woods. I want bloodhounds, helicopters, the works... concentrating on that direction. The other escapees are low priority, focus on her first." "Yes, sir!" said the commander of the platoon. "I'll get right on it and alert the others. Let's move out, men!" * * * A team of at least fifty law enforcement officials, a mix of prison guards, sheriff's deputies, state policemen, and federal agents, stormed into the central command center of the prison. Several of the younger men began looking sick at the sight of the male bodies in the room, pumped full of bloody holes. "Twelve bodies, ten machine gunned to death and two with fatal knife wounds," reported an agent. "No trace of Eliza in here, but it had to be her handiwork." One guard noticed blood trickling out from a storage closet and opened the door, almost puking at the gruesome sight inside. "We have a thirteenth body in here." "Who is it?" someone asked. The guard took a closer look at the underwear-clad corpse, which was also missing its face and scalp. "I think it's the warden." * * * After killing the warden, Eliza had scalped him and removed his face with one of the sharp combat knives she had appropriated from the guards. After putting on his face, she had then put on his clothes, which were loose enough to hide her feminine figure. A baseball cap and a pair of dark sunglasses, which the warden had often worn, completed her new outfit and helped her disguise. The hardest part had been imitating a man's voice when talking to the platoon of guards, but she was an excellent voice actress. She drove west on the highway in the nondescript gray Honda Accord that belonged to one of the late guards. She laughed as she heard on the radio an all-points bulletin to be on the lookout for the warden's black Mercedes. Before driving away in the Honda, she had simply moved the Mercedes from the warden's designated spot and parked it in a secluded garage. The simple-minded buffoons who had discovered the warden's corpse and seen his empty parking space had jumped to conclusions. She smirked at her dominance, physical and mental, over the men who thought they were the leaders and enforcers of society. A couple of hours later, she reached one of her secret stashes that she had prepared many years ago for a situation like this. In a remote spot in the wilderness, she had money, disguises, fake identity documents, and weapons. Collecting her stuff, she put on a blonde wig and a pair of dark sunglasses. She smiled at the sight of her weapons - a compact miniature crossbow, a .40 caliber pistol, and a knife - as she gathered them up. * * * Three weeks later, the second to last escapee was recaptured. Eliza was still on the loose, as if she had vanished into thin air... THE END (for now)
