Long Live the Evil Triplet

Chapter 24 - Fire, Threats, and Secrets

Asha heard Damien behind her as she ran. Her chest tighten in fear as she tried to find a place to hide.

No.

Not again.

Not with him.

Flashbacks of Damien's abuse on Asha crossed her mind and she almost paused to throw up on the lavishing carpet, but she swallowed hard and held it down.

"Stay strong." Luis's voice echoed in her ears.

She wanted too.

But she already felt her bravery waning as she hid behind the corner. She was breathing hard, and as the blood rushed to her head she thought of Luis, lying there, in the kitchen unable to move or do anything because of Magica...

"You don't have to take it," Webby said, gently. "Switch back with me. I'll handle Damien."

Webby was actually concerned for her? She was half willing to let her switch back.

But Asha couldn't do it.

She was just like Luis when it came to their alternate egos. She cared about Webby. Like she cared about Luis. Why was it that she and Luis seemed to care so much? How was it that they couldn't do to their alternate egos what they do to others?

But Damien...

"Found you." Damien whispered in her ear, making her jump. She had been so lost in thought that she didn't hear him sneak up on her.

Now it was too late.

Damien pressed himself up against Asha. Asha tried to scream but Damien pressed his arm up against her throat, cutting off her wind pipe.

"I wonder," He hissed as Asha squirmed underneath him. "how much more fun it will be to torture you in this form." He hummed as he used his other hand to brush away the feathers from her sweaty face.

Asha felt the blood rush to her ears. She couldn't use her siren power on Damien, never could, she tried once. She almost died when Damien found out what she was doing.

Asha shivered.

Damien's eyes twinkled at the look on Asha's face and loosened the pressure on her wind pipe just a bit he was hoping to hear her scream. Asha's screaming was like music to his ears. He had been dreading her coming to this world, leaving him alone, but once he was able to join her here, it was all worth the wait...

He felt more alive out here, then he had ever been in the depths of Dewey's mind. It was like Damien was running on adrenaline and he was going to swallow every ounce of it.

"No, P,Please Damien." She pleaded with him.

Damien always made Asha feel weak, helpless, and like the world was against her. If she hadn't had Luis and his encouraging words he had said to her before he left. She would have already given up. Let Damien do with her what he wanted.

Damien scoffed.

"I love it when you beg." He whispered in her ear. "I've missed it."

He started to press his beak firmly on Asha's neck, and Asha's body stiffened. She felt the slight burning of his bill against her neck. Damien's power building up inside him making her eyes water and her heart beat hard against her chest.

Damien had the power to set fire to things with his mind alone.

Asha had been burned by Damien more times then she liked to admit. Sometimes to the point where she turned to ash. It was Damien who gave her the name Asha just for that reason. She had wanted Luis to name her for she was the last out of the curse to come about and felt instantly drawn to him.
