Collection of short stories.

King of His Realm.

Sitting in my room, on my Double size mattress, glancing around, it has no doors to the outside, it is a rather large room, has three large windows behind me, but I can not see anything out of them due to it being night time. On my left, bookshelves cover two thirds of the walls, on my right there is a fireplace that is the only light in this room, located on the center of the right walls, and a picture on each other surrounding wall, one is a picture of two people, one is me, and the other is a handsome man with dark hair and tanned skin, the man I call my husband. I look at the wall with the door, and I can see light from the hallway trickling in from under the door.

The door swings open, a mysterious person walks in, with glowing red eyes, he is in complete black, almost in a scraggly fur outfit covering his whole body, making him look big and intimidating, he walks in then turns to face the door, shuts the door and takes off the top half of his costume, Then his shirt follows soon after, he trails his hand through his hair dark hair, then he does a few triceps arm stretches, I cannot help but watch him stretch his muscles, he rolls his shoulder blades then turns towards me with those glowing red eyes and he approaches me, then climbs onto the bed from the foot of it, and I feel a smile tugging at my lips, I open my arms to him, and he wraps his arms around my waist, and I wrap my arms around his neck loosely.

"My Queen." He mumbles into the side of my neck, nuzzling slightly, he then starts kissing up my neck slowly and softly.

"Mmm, my King, you seem happy tonight." I respond, running my hands through his hair.

"Any night that you are my Queen I will be happy." He retorts, nuzzling into my neck again.

"Then you shall be happy for the rest of our days." I state, he pulls back from my neck and kisses me softly, I push into the kiss gently.

An alarm bell goes blaring from the hall and he quickly pulls out of the kiss, glaring towards the door, then he pulls away from me, muttering profanities to himself, getting dressed completely again, tugging open the door, "Stay here." He trails off, keeping the helmet part of his costume up. "I will come to get you if it is serious." He finishes then tugs his helmet down.

"Of course." I state. "I will wait for you." I finish, he nods once then leaves, closing the door behind himself.

I attempt to just wait, but I start hearing panicking in the hall, my curiosity gets the best of me, so I get dressed out of my silk nightgown, and into pants, and a long-sleeved shirt, grabbing my weapon, I slowly creak open my door, and step outside into the blinding light of the hall, watching the others run around in a panic, I try to inquire what is going on, but I just manage to get swept up in everyone filing out of the long hall with countless doors, and I can feel the panic rising in my soul as I am forced out of the door with a bunch of others, I end up getting knocked over landing on my outstretched arms, and I watch as everyone else scatters.

Outside of the door, it a bit dimmer here, but it looks almost like the innards of someone, or something, and it's very red and pulsing, I have never been here before. I notice an infant that I can sense is not actually an infant, comes into the room and is crawling around, then starts to climb a pillar. Some Medusa looking woman slithers up to me and starts mumbling something along the lines of how good humans taste.

"Hmm, it smells like human out here." She groans out. and I flinch, I have never felt more disgusted about being a human before in my life than I do currently from her overly excited sounding voice while saying that.

"I am certain that I don't know what you mean." I lie, I should smell more like a demon, than human after this long down here.

"Someone, brought, a human, here." She practically chants, getting closer, and I back away.
