I believed that Adiran posed no real threat to my well-being, but I had felt him trying to merge himself within me, when I’d been fighting through the pain that had coursed through my body.
He soon returned, not long before Malachi had himself but I refused to acknowledge his presence. I knew he was growing angry with me, but I refused to give him what he wanted. It became clear he craved my compliance and my will, for what purpose hadn’t yet been revealed to me at that point, but he seemed to need it whether or not for a nefarious purpose.
“I was only trying to help you Unya, I didn’t want you to be harmed.”
“You are a liar, you just want me to submit so you can do with me as you will,” I screamed, forgetting that Malachi was next to me.
“Unya calm down. I would never ask you to submit to me,” he stated confused by my outburst.
“I wasn’t talking to you Malachi, stay out of what you do not understand. And as for you, I am no puppet and I have no strings for you to control. Just leave me alone.”
I knew that to Malachi, I was just shouting at an empty corner but I was beyond caring about my image where others were concerned.
“He thinks you’ve gone crazy, he believes you to be unhinged. He knows so little of this version of you, do you want to keep him around? All he will do is hold you back and squash the power that is surging from within.”
I looked at Malachi, who returned the stare, but his was filled with worry and unease. It made my blood boil and my head thump, I couldn’t take anymore judgements.
“Get out. I don’t give a damn what you think of my sanity, so leave before I make you wish you hadn’t returned here.”
Malachi looked shocked and hurt, but instead of arguing he just set the food down, placed a gentle kiss upon my forehead and walked out.
Adiran was smiling, but I couldn’t give a damn about his happiness as I called for a servant to help me to de-stress.
You could imagine how my anger fared when all the servants refused to enter my chambers, cowardly weasels.
“Why wait for them to come to you, wouldn’t it be more thrilling if you were to hunt your kill beforehand?”
I was still trying to ignore Adiran, but he made such a good point. Clapping my hands in glee as I jumped up and down, A wide toothy grin spread across my face.
I’d chosen a deep red bodice and supple black leather trousers for my first hunt. I had a pair of wedged knee high boots, that had sharpened spikes climbing up the back and were secured by laces at the front.
I was thrilled by the prospect of actually seeking out my next toy, it was almost orgasmic, the amount of pleasure that was coursing through my body.
It was the Nymphs who had been so forward with Malachi who crossed my path, joined by the other little slut who wanted to steal Malachi from me. A searing hot rage settled within my core, as jealousy ignited within, and merged with my already volatile state.
I walked over to them,, my gait screaming predator, but they wouldn’t lose the stupid smiles that were plastered upon their faces.
“Oh my, the ebony child seems to have a problem. Don’t worry dear, few females could satisfy the hunger of a being like Malachi. I would offer you some pointers, but where’s the fun in that? He will run to me when you no longer satisfy him. Oh no, I’ll allow his fascination with you to run its course, he’ll be gracing my bed before you know it.”
A growl emanated from deep within me, sounding feral and a hell of a lot unhinged. A twisted smile spread across my lips, my teeth were flashing at her and before she could even blink I pounced.
My feet landed on her chest, while my nails scored her pretty little face. I could hear her shrieking in fear, but it was muffled by the haze that had overtaken me.
I let one of my hands become engulfed in flames, as I placed it upon one her cheeks and refused to remove it until her flesh was dripping off.
Her screams continued to bounce through the air, as my anger grew and without even knowing how it happened a bolt of electricity shot through her stomach.
Her body convulsed under the surge and it split her stomach open, leaving enough space for me to slam a fist through her flesh and have a tinker within.
The first thing I removed was her intestines, which I began shoving into her mouth, rejoicing in the retching that pursued. I marvelled at how much pain this Nymph could endure, as I called a few of the shadows, that resided within me, out to play.
They submerged themselves within, not leaving until the life that shone within her, was thoroughly extinguished.
By that point, my rage had dissipated so I allowed Adiran his usual folly, which comprised him removing her shadow and devouring it.
Her little friend had ran off while I was busy having my fun, but it was of no consequence, I’d get my moment with her too.
By the time it came for yet another banquet, my madness had receded and I felt a lot calmer. Malachi still came to get me, but as predicted his eyes went to the Nymph who I nailed to the wall besides my vanity. I always believed that wall was too bare, and rather enjoyed the new addition to the décor.
