Chapter 26: Maggie

A/N: Video by Chattychiki on YouTube 

Small tendrils of gas floated from the beast's hands toward my trapped body on the alter. This was it. I was going to meet my end, but not at the hands of the monster I now called mine.

"Don't fear me, yet little human. I am not going to harm you, much. I need you so rest easy for now, what was your name again, Maggie?" He cackled as if he had said something funny. I thought Xorn to be evil. This being was far worse.

The gas filled my eyes and nose, tickling its way down my throat. A fire spread through me, and I tried to close my mouth, but the damage was done. I choked on my scream as my body worked to produce saliva fast enough to ease the acid-induced like pain and the male drew nearer.

For a moment, he ceased his torture to question me. "Tell me, human. How are you helping the worthless hybrid remain in his physical form permanently?" He wanted to be able to roam the surface without any boundaries or rules, doing no good most likely. Well, I wasn't going to be the one to give him that information.

I shook my head and furrowed my brow, trying my best to appear ditzy and unknowledgeable about how the whole process worked. "I do not know what you're talking about. We just have really hot sex. I don't know anything about how he shifts. Maybe you should have asked him, instead of knocking him out with your stinky gas."

"You dumb cunt! How dare you insult my intelligence and power this way? Do you know I am capable of ripping your body apart limb from limb?" He growled in my face as he yanked my hair, almost pulling it from my scalp. If he wasn't angry before, he sure was now. Good job, Maggie.

Instantly, his face morphed from one of pure anger to his normal relaxed, in-control expression. "Fine. Don't answer, female. I have other ways to gain the information I want." I did not want to know what those were.

"So, you want to be a demon's whore, do you? I wouldn't mind taking pleasure from your cunt, female." He pulled out his penis. It was hard, lime green like his venom, and omitted a foul odor in the same way. He took it in his clawed hand and worked it up and down roughly causing more gas to spill from the pores around his phallus.

I knew from just a glance that it would burn my insides. This was how he was going to torture secrets from me. I wanted to scream, cry, and beg; anything that would stop his assault, but I held strong. I had to have faith in Xorn to wake and rescue me.

The demon of nightmares and venom moved in closer, working his member harder and harder the nearer he drew to my trembling body. He was so close that I felt his gases hit my nostrils and felt the touch of his unbusy hand on my body. I closed my eyes, not wanting to witness my own demise or the ugliness that was Kletas.

His venomous gas shrouded me. I could feel the sticky effect of it on my skin and hair, and even though I held my breath, the gas still entered my lungs and burned down into my gut. But just as soon as it appeared, it retracted. I heard nothing, but a small thump as the venom left my senses.

I opened my eyes, still watering from the toxins, to see the male had been flung across the room. Beside my alter stood my demon, my predator, my hybrid, my love: Xorn. Anger radiated from his body with a steamy effect. He appeared like the devil rising up from hell to fight his foes.

A small lump formed on his head where he was taken by surprise and his eyes were still a little foggy from Kletas' venom, but he was a force to be reckoned with. His muscles strained and pulled as he drew in heavy, fury-laced breaths.

"You should have accepted defeat and the escape that Brohan offered you, Kletas. I will not provide the same. Today, your demented soul will be trapped in the pits of hell where you will stay for eternity."

Xorn shifted once more into his demon minotaur form, leaving all human traits he possessed behind. The golden horns on his head almost doubled in size, his feet turned to hooves, and his face morphed into that of a hellish beast. His hooved legs beat into the ground as he sped off toward the greater of two evils.

His horns barely missed the male as he swung them for his torso. Kletas, still rasping from the hurl against the stone wall, moved out of the way just in time. I longed to free myself and help Xorn however I could, but the chains would not budge. I was stuck, naked on the alter, like a pig with an apple in its mouth on a platter. If Xorn did not take control of Kletas, I was toast.

"Always so quick to act, Xorn. It will be your downfall, I am afraid," wheezed Kletas. He moved to latch his claws into my mate, but before he could, Xorn pulled his huge axe from its holster and swung it through the air with amazing precision, cutting off one of the venomous demon's arms. Too bad it wasn't his head.

Honestly, I had forgotten all about the axe. So far during our time together, Xorn hadn't had to use it. I would not forget it again. It glistened with a golden light like it was enchanted with some sort of magic power. The light lingered what it touched. The arm severed from Kletas' body lay on the ground and suddenly went up in a blazing fire and smoke until all that was left was ash.

"How did you do that," Kletas and I asked at the same time, though the former was the only one in proximity to be heard. I dared not make a sound. Xorn was in his element, and I wasn't going to be the one to distract him from his purpose. I wanted Kletas dead, as well.

"Not as useless as you thought, huh Kletas?" That was all Xorn said before once more throwing his heightened power into another swing of his axe. He aimed this time for his opponent's legs, but his weapon did not make contact. Instead, Kletas shuffled to the side, bended and aimed his horns for my male's abdomen.

Jumping back quickly, Xorn barely missed being impaled by the other demon's sharper, longer horns. "Your arrogance, will be your demise, young one." Blood still spilled from his arm wound as he tried to apply pressure. Apparently, demons could bleed, a fact I was not aware of.

"It's not arrogance, you self-centered beast, but sheer well and determination that will help me kill you." His blade swung through the air again, this time landed on its target. The golden steel sliced through Kletas' legs, immobilizing him. He landed again, this time with a loud "thwack".

He tried unsuccessfully to call his gas, but with three of his limbs detached and turned to ash, not much would come. "Any last words, you soul sucking leech," Xorn rung out with labored breaths. "Nothing? Good."

His final blow tore the male's head from his body in such a gruesome, yet reliving display. I watched until the black blood no longer poured from his wounds, and his entire body went up in flames.

I was so enraptured with the sight, I did not notice Xorn coming back to my side until he shrunk back to his hybrid form, taking my lips in a searing kiss, and freeing me from the chains he placed on me. "Come, my love. Let us wash this atrocious creature from our bodies and minds. Once my throne is clean once more, I will finally claim you as my prey properly."

I had no objections. Even with all the blood and obnoxious gases clinging to my body, my core still heated at the thought of my body being chained, conquered, and dominated by my male once more.
