The Shadow Executioner

Chapter 16 Shocker

I finally let my tears fall as I ran over to them. I growled and swung the blade at the black mass that was firmly holding them in place. I repeatedly hit, hearing both of the scream in pain.

"Love, stop, you are making it worse." Damian whimpered, Rae could barely keep her head up, she was fading already.

"I can't lose you; you are all I have left. I would rather die than loose either of you."

"No love, save the person you have known longer, there is no reason for you to save stranger."

"No, I-I can't do that. You are not a stranger to me; you mean the world to me."

"Then it sounds like you made your choice Rocky, you love him, so choose your pretty boy. I mean nothing anything." Rae said softly. Her words stabbed me like the knife I was holding. I shook my head no, my body shaking with anger and fear.

"That's not- no, you know that's not what I meant." I stammered, she laughed and managed to lift her head.

"It's exactly what you meant, just kill me."

"NO! You are pregnant, I can't-"

"I'm pregnant with a monster, just kill me!" She screamed her sobs echoing in the room, I saw Damian's eyes widen at the statement she screamed.

"I said I can't!"

"SELFISH AS FUCKING ALWAYS. CLASSIC ROCHELLE!" She yelled; I narrowed my bloodshot eyes in a glare.

"Stop it, Ralena!" I shouted, I knew what she was doing, she was trying to force my hand to make a decision.

"Times up who is your choice!" Samael chimed cheerfully, his walk airy and happy.

"I-I –" I looked at both of them and shut my eyes closing my hands into a tight fist.

"I choose, Damian." I whispered.

"Shocker" Rae said bitterly.

"I'm sorry."

"No, you're not, go to hell Rochelle." She spat.

"Oh, she will." Samael said laughing. He walked over and shot his arm through her stomach, blood spewed out of her mouth as he yanked her intestines and all the contents out with his hand.

"No!" I screamed falling to my knees as he kicked her body at me.

"Oh, did you not want her to die? Was your choice . . . what was his name you said. Oh, right Damian?" He asked mockingly. He looked at Damian his lips curling into a devilish grin as his jaw snapped in half, massive black curled horns jutted out between his face that split in half. His long tongue hung like an elephant trunk, the saliva sliding off of it onto the dirt floor.

His hips snapped loudly as they rounded off into two muscular legs that ended with hooves. They reminded me of something you would see on a minotaur. I saw his shoulder blades snap backwards as large skin covered wings jutted out, he was like a demonic angel. I snapped out of it and looked towards Damian. Samael smirked seeing him and summoned a large stone spike from the wall and hurled it at him.

"Damian!" I shouted as I saw the spike leave Samael's hand and pin Damian in the stomach to the wall. I screamed seeing Damian's body go limp against the wall.

I let out an ear-piercing scream feeling the floor heat up beneath me. The walls shook as I dug my nails into the earth, I snapped my head to look at that demon in front of me.

"Do you have any idea what you have done?" I asked holding my right hand out, my voice was no longer my own.

"YES FINALLY! You have awakened."
