Making it into work on time, after everything that Xorn put me through the previous night, was a real struggle. He had completely wrecked me. First by sending me into a complete shock, spanking me until my ass was red and blistered. Then, by making me cum so hard, I was still seeing stars. To be completely honest, I was not sure which one angered me more. The male had his way with me, and on one hand, I loved it. On the other, I despised him for controlling me in such a way.

The worst part of the whole situation was that I knew I would let him continue playing me, torturing me with his skillful hands and body. I really was certifiable. Even still holding onto my v-card, I knew I would never be touched by another male, like he had touched me mind, body, and soul. Hell, I did not want to. That lustful part of me could not wait to deliver my virtue to the hellraiser, allowing him to drain me dry, even if it cost me everything. The "good side" of me was long gone, ruined from that very first moment Xorn and I shared. Sad part was I had no one to talk to, no one to get advice from, no one to rely on, and I blamed him.

"Maggie, Hun, are you alright? I heard screams coming from your house last night. I am surprised to see you at all.", my nosey neighbor Ruby questioned from across the fence as I stepped out my door. "Yeah, just had some bad nightmares. How are you today, Miss. Ruby?", I replied as I continued walking. I knew she would not believe me anyway. Hell, the whole city probably heard me begging Xorn to get me off. Saying goodbye, I proceeded to make my work.

Maybe it was from getting no sleep, or possibly anger from Xorn disappearing as soon as I finished, never less I was in a real irritably mood. Even my crewmates' normal pleasantries worked my nerves. "Brittany, what's eating you?", my closet work buddy asked after I had snapped on two other co-workers. How he hit the nail on the head spot on had me flabbergasted. I was paranoid wondering what he knew and how. "Who have you been talking to, Bobby? For your information, no one, I mean nothing is eating me!" Shaking his heading with laughter and disbelief, "Oh, I see.", was all he replied as he walked away.

What was wrong with me? I knew what was wrong with me. That minotaur worm had wriggled his way into my life. All I thought about was him, and it showed. My life was not going perfect by any measure, but at least I still had most of my sanity until he entered my life. Now I was screwed for good, and it was my own damn fault. He was right when he said he owned me. I thought I could play with fire and not burn, but the flame would just grow hotter.

I started the day as nothing had happened. I tried to act normally, working at my standard rate, and taking only my necessary breaks. I wished I had not taken my last break at all. I should have known my luck was running bad in all areas in my life. I did not see the shitstorm brewing. If only I had been more careful, and paid more attention, I would have noticed the whispers and stares. I really should have gotten a new job. The environment was toxic, but I had ignored all the signs. Because of this, what happened next was all my fault.

Why Carl chose that very moment to give me a hard time, I was not sure. He should have just let me be. "Hey, Maggie. I've heard you have been socializing with the beasts. Is it true?" I stood there, unable to move, as a crowd of spectators to our one-sided conversation grew. "What are you talking about, Carl?", I stuttered out. "Well, a little birdie told me that they heard some very strange, inappropriate noises at your house last night? Add that to the conversations you've had with just yourself here recently and I put two and two together. You have got to be associating yourself with the monsters, Britt. It definitely seems like something you would do." I could not blame him there; I did have tendencies to do what I should not, but damn that big-mouth old bird, Ruby. She had always been a thorn in my side, sticking her nose where it did not belong.

Shocked, I had nothing to say. I sat there dumbfounded. They took that as my admission of guilt. "We cannot have someone associating with those things, working here, putting us all at risks.", Carl bellowed as the crowd rung out in agreement. "How can you do this to me, Carl?", I sniffled out. I did not want to be ostracized. I would never bring harm to anyone, myself excluded. Tears continued streaming down my face as I thought of how unfair life had been to me.

Suddenly, the whole room grew quiet as a horrible chill filled the air. Out of nowhere, Carl grabbed at his throat, gasping for breath. Someone in the crowd screamed, "Look, what is she doing to him?", followed by, "She must be witch! We've had a monster among us this whole time, right under our noses!" I was just a shocked as everyone else. At first, I had no idea what was going on until I felt a cool mist move across my cheek, as if it was caressing me. I recognized that touch anywhere. It was him, Xorn, consoling me. The monster was calming me while all others were condemning me for nothing. Heavy breaths and faint cries were all I heard, before the lights went out and the room filled with Carl's horrifying, winded screams.

A/N: Uh oh! What do you think happens to Carl? Why do you think he decided to verbally attack Maggie? Let me know your thoughts.
