Chapter 14: Xorn

A/N: Video by MsJaggerz 

     I awoke suddenly from my deep sleep; one I had not known more than a few times during my five hundred years. Jolting up from my resting place, I looked around for Maggie. How dare I let myself sleep so heavily as not to be made aware of her absence. I searched high and low, all over the house. I did not find a trace of her or her newfound belongings anywhere. That left two options, she either was taken from me or left on her own freewill. Either way, I was enraged. I destroyed the already dilapidated home from top to bottom, busting out all windows and tearing through walls all while voicing my disdain with my loudest roar.

Bursting through the door, I exited the home. Looking all around, I scoured for a trace of my missing prey. There were no signs of an abduction from humans or any other being, no drag marks or dropped belongings. When I examined the ground closely enough, after a while, I found only one set of footprints. That meant my prey had thought to escape me. I should have known from her bringing up separating that she would plan something so brash, but I was too tired from all the travel and not draining enough of Maggie's essence to fulfill my dire appetite. "You will pay for this female! No matter how far you run and hide, I will always find you.", I gritted out to no one, but myself.

Fortunately, as I made my way following the tracks, I did not sense any other beings. What was the female thinking, sneaking off on her own? She knew of the dangers, and yet, she still risked herself to be rid of me. Maybe she thought to deter me, and for a human male that might have worked. For me, it only made me desire her more, and to punish her more meticulously. As I continued my journey to find the missing morsel, I thought of all the ways to torture her for her defiance. I could tie her as I had before, offering a lashing much worse in both pain and pleasure, or bring her to the heights of passion, only to leave her hanging, panting, and begging for more.

No matter what punishment I imagined, I was not full. I longer to let her learn her lesson, allowing her to see how hard it would be to survive on her own, though for some reason, I could not bring myself to abandon my search, even though she had tricked me in such a way. "She would not like if it she encountered other monsters like me. They would ravish her at once!", telling myself it would serve her right. However, the very thought infuriated me more than ever before. I would kill them, rip them limb for limb, then fuck her roughly on their corpses for her ultimate betrayal, virgin or not. The idea aroused me profusely. Maybe I would do just that, take her innocence and make her completely mine. Now, I just had to find her.

I tracked her path until her prints disappeared in front of a large, old office building, probably once used for a doctor's office or law firm. She must have stopped here for a rest. I had to give it to the female, she had gotten far. I knew she could not be too far ahead, but I entered the building to search for any trace of her still there. In the closed in space, I could scent her. Even through her sweet, natural flowery scent, I could smell her dark, twisted lust. She thought of me the whole way, and I would use that to work in my favor. "Oh, my sweet Maggie, you still want me to consume you." I said as I sniffed in a large whiff of her sweet, heavenly musk, realizing her action for what it was, she longed for me to chase her once more, capturing her and unleashing my beast. Evilly, I would give her exactly what she longed for, enacting her fetishes, and showing my prey to whom she belonged.

I ran as fast as I could with a newfound optimism, fed from her desires. I changed into my shadow form, feeling myself closing in. I made it two towns over before I sensed her presence, but not from her longing this time, yet from her fear. Something was after my Maggie, something so dark and warped it made me seem like a little pussycat in comparison. I had never sensed this evil before, but from his spirit, I could tell it had to be ancient and much more purebred than I.
