The Book Of Secrets Long Begotten

XIII

Lord Zygor stealthily crept towards the giant tree he knew Jake and Rebekah had stayed at last night. He made his way inside and found, to his fortune, that she was still occupied in it. She was closing the door and turning around to face the stairs on her walk back home. But once she spotted Lord Zygor, her heart dropped to the floor. It was beating exceptionally fast in both fear and worry.

"So," Lord Zygor said. "my bride still awaits." He said this with an evil chuckle that stabbed her very bones with an icy chill. He walked towards the stairs, blocking her from any escape other than the leaves themselves in which there was no way of escape on them. She was trapped.

"Zygor." She said afraid.

"The morning really does bring the most out of someone, wouldn't you say?" He asked her.

"What are you doing here? What do you want?" Rebekah asked. Her voice shaking. Lord Zygor smiled.

"Thy temptation is the grace I must have bestowed unto me." He said.

"Are you going to kill me?" She asked. She was afraid of the answer but was also afraid of not having the answer. So, she decided it was best to just accept her fate, if there was one, and relieve herself of any possible accounts of consternation on her part.

"No, my precious, I don't want to kill you." He said to her in a threatening voice. "What I want is the life you have given Jake. You two made an intimate evening on that leaf out there. I want to take it all back. I want that ride, that little white lie that says you love him." Lord Zygor said smiling. Rebekah looked at him in total disgust.

"You want to rape me?" She asked. This was more frightening than death itself. She would've rather wanted death than this.

"Just a glimpse of your love. The slight twinge of it." Said Lord Zygor as he slowly edged his way towards her. Mind, he was already edging towards her during this whole exchange. But now the realization of him edging closer to her was even more prevalent.

She decided to make a run for the leaf but for some reason as to how Stonewater was behind her is unknown. All that is known is that Stonewater was behind Rebekah. Also, it was known that Lord Zygor was in front of her so that she was totally and completely trapped. Nowhere to go. Nowhere to hide.

Stonewater came into contact with her to which she let out a shriek of fear. For she had not known Stonewater was behind her until he grabbed her.

"Chill honey, only in eternity will the two of  you belong in no other way but with each other." Stonewater said to her. He held onto her as he moved her towards Lord Zygor who was smiling at her. She kept trying to fidget her way out of Stonewater's grasp but it was too strong for her.

Lord Zygor stood before her, holding what she knew as poison. She began to plead with him, crying and pleading to not kill her. She even agreed to a sexual activity with the both of them to which Lord Zygor turned down, much to her surprise.

"Not only do you want to kill Jake... You want to destroy everything he loves." Rebekah said in shock. Tears stained her beautiful face. She saw the two of them as mere monsters of universal creation. Nothing more and nothing less.

Lord Zygor grabbed her chin with a feeling so hurtful that she had no other way of reacting than to open her mouth in pain. Zygor then poured the poison down her throat and watched her body twitch. Her eyes became flooded with tears as she realized she was going to die helplessly.

Fear consumed her as she broke free from Stonewater's grasp and fell from the stairs to her death. It was reasonable to presume that Stonewater had loosened his grip on her but still it is all just an assumption.

Her teary eyes fixated on Lord Zygor, her body became motionless, and she became lifeless once her body hit the floor with a thud. Lord Zygor walked down towards her body and stared at her face. Shock stained her face as well as blood, tears, and poison. He rubbed his hand on her face in a lovely fashion and smiled.

"May your death equal out to a victory for me. May this weaken Jake and force him to give in, allowing me to win." Lord Zygor said as he leaned downwards and kissed her forehead. Evil gleamed in his eyes.

"Lord Zygor, Jake should be coming back from the Elder One. He might be here any minute now." Stonewater said. Lord Zygor stood up.

"Right you are. How did your murder date with Goofy go?" He asked him.

"Dead as a doornail. It's going to look like he ate himself to death, the fat fuck." Stonewater said in a chuckle. Lord Zygor joined in on that chuckle.

"Very well then. Stay here, hiding of course. When Jake arrives, educate him on what he has waiting for him and his so-called team at the castle. I have one more thing I need to do." Lord Zygor said. "I need to look good before I murder The Chosen One."
