Merelda makes a non-committal sound but begins weaving a levitation spell over Darren's prone form. I gotta give it to him for not freaking out when his body lifts off the ground and begins to float towards the tomb entrance and into the darkness.
She looks at me and smiles viciously, "Come now, little slut. I have quite the show for you down in my humble abode."
God, even her sarcasm is shitty.
I turn to Mayfly when he squeezes my shoulder, he gives me a serious look, "I'll be back to visit you and collect my debt. Be a good girl and I'll make sure you are sated wonderfully."
I'm hardly paying attention to the words because he drags his fingers down my chest and slyly tucks something into my cleavage. Then he backs up before snapping his fingers and disappearing.
Merelda grabs me by the hair on the back of my head, yanking hard enough to knock me to the ground. I land on my ass and glare at the foul woman standing over me. I curl a lip at her but she kicks me in the face. She uses her magic with the blow to my face and I feel my nose crunch.
I scream in pain, having never felt a broken bone in my life. My bones begin to mend but the pain of that hurts as well. I roll over as the bitch brings her foot down with the intention to smash my face further.
The ground vibrates with her stomp. The fuck are her feet made of, bricks?
I quickly stand to my feet and smear the blood from my nose and mouth. I will fuck this bitch up! I let a warning groan out before I hiss when she steps closer. Fuck this.
Using my speed, I'm in her face in a second, bringing my forehead down on her nose as hard as I can. The world spins as her nose breaks under my headbutt but I smile when she screams. Not willing to lose the advantage, I break the ropes around my wrists and grab her by the throat before slamming her back against the tomb's stone wall.
I do this three times before she wraps her boney hands around my biceps and knees me as hard as she can... in my fucking pussy!
Listen, I know I don't have balls but any woman will tell you, a knee to the crotch hurts like a motherfucker. I don't give a shit how tough you are, it's lips and bones down there, people, and it fucking hurts.
But I don't grab myself and howl. I flip my claws out and swing my arms at her like I've lost my mind, and in a way I have. She has taken enough from me and I'm done with her. I want to watch the air leave her lungs and smile as her soul slips from her body.
My nails scratch across her chest, opening her skin with ease. I want her body to look as bad as Drug's did after she flogged him like a fucking Roman soldier would. I swing my left arm but before I make more lacerations, Merelda explodes into those nasty screaming moths.
Instead of fighting off the grotesque creatures like my mind wants to do, I run straight for the tomb before cloaking myself.
The stairs are narrow and steep but I teleport myself down to the bottom and into a rounded room with three different tunnels. I have to hurry because I can hear the wings of those fuckers getting closer. I don't want to teleport any more than I need to because there's a good chance this bitch can feel the power of a siphon like Drug did when we first met in the alley.
God, that feels like years ago when in reality it was only weeks ago.
Focusing back on which way to go, I decide to go right. Most people are creatures of habit and going right is usually what they do. Merelda is as close to a human as any supernatural can get so I'm hoping this is the correct tunnel.
There are sconces along the walls and their light allows me to see the runes written along the stones. I wonder if this is what keeps Drug's powers weakened?
I get to the end of the hall and to another set of stairs but my heart sails high when I hear the voices of my sisters.
Uncloaking myself, I run to the sounds of their whispers but stop cold in my tracks when I see Elsie holding her hands up to my family.
At her fingertips are the black flames of Hellfire.
Okay, shit just got crazy.
