Demon Host

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN-Affair with the cop.

I could feel it. The darkness swarming around me. It was suffocating, the last thing that could ever relate to begin pleasant. I was slowly chocking on the pressure around me. It was empty and dark as always. Nothing or no one around, yet it felt like I was drowning deep deep down in an ocean. An ocean of despair.

She had to be here. She was so close i could feel it. I could feel her presence around me even though I could not see even the shadow that she did not have.

This time I did not want to come off desperate. This time I wanted to show her that I was in control. I wanted to prove to her that despite all the pain she put me through, I owned my body and I could not be a vessel to anyone. So I ignored the burning feeling in my throat, my gut, my insides. I tried my best to make sure they did not exist, at least not to her knowledge. Then i lifted up my chin.

Head held high and shoulders up. I looked into the sulking darkness at nothing in particular, but knowing very well she would here me when I said. "Hello Lilith!"

It was the first time that I had addressed it by it's given name.

My voice was met with an echoing silence. Not a single sound or whatsoever before a few seconds passed and it finally spoke up. With just one word. One word that came to me in shock and still had me shivering restlessly in the inside.

"Dianna."

I put on a tough front, knowing very well that this was her plain. This same plain it made me drown in countless of times, this same plane that brought me nothing but pain and despair, a plain locked in my own mind, a plan she created to control and use me till i succumb to her use. I knew very well that i would not be waking up any soon until I had gotten this over with.

I wanted her to know that she did not have control over me any more and I would not let her get what she wanted.

"This long awaited goodbye should be done with by now don't you think?" I lifted up a brow at the shadows around me, knowing also that even though I could not see her, see could see me as bright as day. "You have no place here anymore."

"Aren't you a little confident one now?" I could hear the bitter sarcasm in her icy voice.

Then I felt it. The gash of wind that passed by my right shoulder and made my neck hairs stand, a bunch of unnoticeable goosebumps rise up my arms and my heart racing a mile.

"I can hear your heart racing." She said and I swallowed. I could not see her, but I felt her presence right behind me. The crippling feeling of her clawed hands curling around my neck as I tried to steady my breathing.

"Just some moon falls ago you were in this position" the dark wispher penetrated through my ear drums, making me hold my breath for much longer than needed. "Screaming and begging for the mercy of your poor, poor soul."

I could feel her claws slowly scratch my neck up to lines of my jaw as she dipped her head between the hallow of my neck and licked. Then I remembered Isabella's warning about the venom in her claws and I prayed silently. That whatever happened in the dream plain of my mind would not be effective in reality. "Just like you are now." She concluded.

"I am not afraid of you! I was just naïve then!" I defended, trying to sound as bold as I could and mustered up the courage to pull my self away from her claws of darkness. But I did not get far because now I could see her clearly, and her dangerous hand was clasped over my throat, daring me to take one more step backwards.

"You're a stubborn one" she snared and squeezed tighter " but then again, that's the reason I picked you." Her hand clasping tighter around my throat with every word that escaped her lips. "I'll have you know Dianna! You- are- my- vessel! Nothing but an embodiment to fill my outmost desires and if I wish to end you now i will. And darling you would never wake up to see your last daylight." The way she said the word " darling" made the itching on my throat intensify.
