When the Dark Wins

“Hi, Lily. I’m going to check a couple of things, so I’m going to need you to be calm,” the older woman says. In this state, she seems like the sweet old ladies at the nursing home.

“Please just let me go. I won’t tell anyone about this I swear,” I plead.

Tsk-ing me, she walks around the table to my ankles. I hear drawers closing, but I can’t see what she is doing. Deft fingers touch my stomach making my body jolt. Nadine is unbuttoning my jeans, I don’t understand what she means by checking things at all. Her pulling both my jeans and panties down causes me to gasp. This isn’t right. No one has ever seen me before. Ethan and I had even decided to wait until marriage to have sex.

Wiggling any way I can to stop her, I cry out, “Stop! Please stop!”

“Hush, Lily. We need to know if you can have kids. Mykael needs a woman that can bear his children. If you aren’t able to, then we don’t need you. Do you understand what I mean?” she continues, unclasping my left ankle to remove the clothes.

Kicking out, I try to stop her. Her sigh lets me know that she isn’t going to give up. I can hear Nadine rummaging in a drawer, and then I feel the prick of a needle. My legs go numb almost instantly. I can’t hold back the tears as I realize that my body is not working with me at all. Trying to lift my leg does nothing. Nadine begins to hum the same song that Chloe did.

“If you were a good girl then you wouldn’t have made me do that,” she retorts, placing my feet into the stirrups.

I’m on a doctor’s table I realize. I can feel the tears falling to the side of my face while she inserts a cold speculum into me. I feel her fingers inside of me when a knock on the door causes her to stop with her prodding. Walking to the door, Nadine opens it to a man. Stepping back so that he can enter, she begins to whisper something to him. I let out a muffled cry as he comes closer to me. It’s the man I saw before, the one by the fire when she drugged me.

“Hello, Lily. My name is Mykael. Nadine tells me that you are a virgin,” the dark-haired man tells me.

Oh God, who are these people?

Turning to Nadine, he commands her, “Leave us.”

I don’t trust or like her, but I’m scared of him more. A cry tears through me as the door closes behind her. Mykael saunters to my feet where she was, sitting down he is eye-level with my pussy. I am spread open in front of him with no way to stop him. I hear him close the speculum, tossing it on the counter to my right. Mykael gently pushes his fingers into me.

“Perfect. I have plans for you, Lily Adams. You are just the one I was looking for,” Mykael says smiling.

Chapter 4

Mykael still has his fingers inside of me, gently rocking his palm against my clit. Weeping, I can do nothing to stop him. Coaxing my body to obey his command, it’s as if I’m caged in my skin. I see him move towards my hip with a syringe. I can feel the prick which tells me the drug is beginning to wear off. Removing his fingers, I watch Mykael suck them into his mouth, relishing in the taste.

“Delicious. Now, in case you try to run away once we let you out of this room, remember that,” he explains pointing to the mark on my hip. “That’s a chip to track you.”

Reaching over, he unlocks the rest of my binds and leaves the room. I have been lying here for what seems like hours and if the light coming in through the small window is anything to go by then it has been. Wiggling my fingers and toes, I try to gain back the feeling in my limbs. The pin pricking tingling lets me know it’s working. Gathering as much strength as I can, I slowly sit up and swing my legs over the side of the metal table. My legs are shaking as I stand to put my jeans and panties back on and make my way to the door where the voices are coming from.

Opening the door enough to peek into the room, I count the women sitting around the table. There are Chloe, Nadine, and two others I don’t recognize, and Mykael seated at the head of the table. One of the women gets up from the

table, taking her plate and Chloe’s with her. What shocks me is when she leans over to give her a peck on the lips and then does the same to him. My gasp makes everyone turn towards the door I am behind.

“Come, Lily. Join us for breakfast,” he commands.

Sitting down in the other unoccupied chair, I wait. I don’t know why I’m here.

Grinning, Mykael shakes his head. “I didn’t tell you that you would be eating. Get up on the table.”

I’m confused. I refuse to bow down to Mykael though, I stay seated holding his gaze. Sighing, he motions for the women to stand. I think they are leaving us alone. It scares me considering what he did to me already. Pain shoots through my head as one of them grabs a fist full of my dark brown hair, she pulls me to my feet and tosses me onto the edge of the table. The other women move around the table to hold down my arms and legs while Mykael remains seated. Picking up the knife next to his plate, he crawls on top of me, a sadistic smile playing on his lips. Grabbing my shirt, Mykael cuts through the fabric like butter until my skin is bare.

“Take off her pants,” he directs the two women at my ankles.

I can feel his fingers working the button loose. With his weight on me, I can barely move an inch. I can feel someone at my thighs prying them open, bucking my body, I am forced down again. I can feel a mouth prodding my pussy. This is wrong, I was always told this growing up from my grandparents. Just as my body begins to tighten from the pleasure flowing through me, I feel the knife pierce my skin just above my right breast. Mykael is digging into my flesh with the blade that Chloe was holding over the candle. Son of a bitch! It hurts, it burns, I can feel the blood running down my chest, and I can smell the scent of charred flesh.

Leaning back, he examines his work. “Now you will be able to remember who you belong to. If I tell you to do something and you refuse me again, the punishment will get worse.”

All of the women let me go as he crawls off the table, leaving me in a puddle of blood and tears. Clutching my hand to my chest, I run to the room they kept me in. There is a mirror directly in front of me on the counter. Walking over to look at my reflection, I uncover the spot on my chest, gasping in horror at the ‘M’ that has been carved into the flesh.

I hear the door closing before I see anyone in this dark room with me. When I feel his breath on my skin, my body tenses like it knows the Devil is near. Holding onto the counter on both sides of me, Mykael presses against my back. I’m still naked from earlier. I have no other clothes than the ones he cut off me. Closing my eyes, I wait for the serpent to strike.

“Lily, if you obey then you won’t be hurt anymore. I didn’t want to make you bleed. Actually, that’s a lie. Your blood makes me hard. Your tears make me wish for more,” he whispers, rocking himself against my naked skin.

Turning around, I meet Mykael’s eyes. “I won’t do what you ask. I don’t want to be here. I want to go home.”
