Chapter 31 | Show no mercy.* 

Aniel | POV

"Daniel run!" She screamed.

I watched in horror as they dragged away my big sister.

"Take me, don't hurt him please!" She continued to beg.

I ran. Towards the forest, away from my sister. It hurt. It hurt my chest so badly. My foot caught on a root and I cried out as I hit the dirt. I wanted my sister back. I missed Cloud; she always protected me.

"This is interesting." A voice like my own.

Childlike.

I looked up to see a strange boy.

One red eye, one blue.

"Aniel, get up."

My eyes peeled open slowly, I tilted my head to the sound of Riel's voice. She stood, her breasts spilling out of her tight excuse for a shirt and her ass like two balls of meat squeezed into a package.

"What?" I asked lazily.

Her eyes glanced over to the naked bodies on the bed and she bit her lip. Fear stank the room with the sweetest scent. I grinned at her. What a good little whore.

"You drained them all. There's none left downstairs, and all the maids are now dead too. Segal's on edge and cannot get anymore," she said quietly.

I hummed softly. After all I've done for them. This is how they treat their saviour. It was of course, filthy demon behaviour.

"What happened to that father who forced you into a horrid marriage with the prince of hell for power?" I purred.

She rocked on her heels slightly, "you killed him – freed me."

"That's right. And how about that demon you married in secret when you were younger?" I pressed on.

"You made it so. You made it possible for me to be with my love, while giving us both protection before, and in the future. And once you take your rightful position as king, you will give us even more power and control as your advisors," she replied.

I nodded very angry at the fool. Pushing myself off the bed, I watched her scan my bare chest and silk pants. Even married she was still a whore.

"Suddenly I know where I can get my desired blood from," I sang.

Her eyes widened like a deer as I moved towards her. She let out a gasp before I had her slammed up against the wall. One hand on her throat, the other worked to rip off her shirt pleased to see she wore no bra.

"You came prepared? I'm guessing with Segal still unconscious the craving between your legs doesn't wait for your husband," I snarled.

"N-no," she cried.

"Shut up." Pathetic whining was a turn off.

My teeth dug into her neck, as I greedily drank at her blood. I drank until she grew weak, and her legs caved. Letting go, she fell to the floor and my hand slipped to my pants. She looked at me, wide and fearful. She'd be a fun toy.

"Don't hurt him please!"

Freezing I looked around. Damnit. Even now she still plagued my fucking brain.

"Get out," I whispered.

She scrambled weakly for the door. For her sake it was good she didn't speak again. I would have ripped her fucking throat out.

"Daniel run!"

A scream ripped through my throat – my power crackled as the bodies on the bed exploded. I basked in the shower of flesh, guts and hair. I was breathing hard, Riel's blood dripped down my chin.

"Daniel." Her voice. From childhood to now it was still angelic and it wasn't the wings.

I turned around slowly, she stood as if a hologram in a long flowing silver gown. She looked like a queen. It made me sick. She should have never traded her life for mine. She should have stayed out of hell.

"Another vial? How generous," I snarled.

Her eyes widened, surprised at my tone. I didn't care. I was tired of playing nice. My eyes drifted down to the obvious bump. Anger built inside me – far beyond anything up to this point. She was pregnant with a demon. She tainted herself far beyond anything that could have saved her.

I laughed hysterically. She didn't know the retribution for her actions.

"I hope you're prepared in a months' time I will be coming. I will destroy your castle, I will slaughter every fucking demon you love including that angel whore of the kings, and finally when it is your turn I will rip that fetus from your stomach, crush it into the ground and leave you alive for you to reflect upon your whoring ways!" I screamed.

Silence.

Tears formed in her ghostlike eyes, and then she closed her eyes slowly. I watched as her whole body stiffened then glowed faintly with pure, golden glory. Despite her holographic state I could feel the intense burning of her glory. She unfolded a pair of wings littered with black feathers and I could feel just this projection of her overpowering me.

"In one months' time Daniel you will come and you will fall. From this point on you are not my blood, you are nothing but the enemy of my child. Come for me and I will show mercy for my brother, come for my children and my empire and I will strike you down ruthlessly as you are nothing but a piece of fallen trash. Come for me Daniel. I will wait." she snarled back.

And then she was gone. Leaving me to fall to my knees. I didn't calculate she'd be this strong. I was out matched. Tears dripped down my face and I felt like a child again. I sobbed. I didn't want this, I wanted my sister back.

The door opened, I looked up through tearful eyes.

"Riel?" I whispered.

Long legs in grey slacks walked over.

"I heard you needed blood; come and drink my son. Power beyond any Halfling awaits you."

An outstretched hand. I hiccupped then reached forward. Yes, he'd clear my mind of these pathetic thoughts once again. My father. He'd help free me again, and he'd give me power.

My lips locked onto his arms – teeth broke skin and I began to drink.

A grin.
