I'm back with a sequel to ¨Sacrifice¨. I hope you read that first.

I don't own anything from 'Hellraiser', but Adele is mine.

Sorry about possible spelling mistakes…

Sacrifice II

Chapter 1

Humans are too curious and everybody wants something. We all search for something; some of us just don't know it…yet. Not until the doors of Hell are opened and the cenobites come for you. They promise you pleasure and pain…but what is the price?

…

¨We have such sights to show you…¨ a strong voice boomed in the dark room. Shadows danced on the walls, giving the dark creatures a more terrifying look.

Poor Michael was shaking in the middle of the dark room with nowhere to hide. He thought he would experience pleasure and sweet pain, but these three ugly monsters in front of him made him regret that he ever touched the box.

¨ I…I think I made a mistake¨ he stammered. The smallest of the creatures, he was quite sure it was a female, walked behind him and touched seductively his shoulder. With a yelp he jumped away from the terrifying female.

¨ Don't touch me you freak! Go back where you came from! ¨ he yelled with renewed courage.

The other creatures started laughing at him.

¨ Oh, but you opened the box. You desired to open it. Now we are here…¨ the creature with nails on his head hissed. He smiled. ¨ …and you Michael are coming back with us ¨. Four chains came out of nowhere and tore into Michael's flesh. He screamed in agony and soon more chains tore into his flesh. Slowly they pulled, stretching his flesh.

¨ Please don't…¨ was all he could say before the chains tore him into pieces.

The leader, Xipe Totec, laughed and walked back to the passage they had emerged from. The box closed itself and soon the room was empty.

No one would ever find Michael's body…

…

Once again a new soul had been taken. The God of Hell, Leviathan, boomed his approval. The three cenobites separated and Xipe Totec continued alone the long passage and took a sharp turn to left. He stopped and enjoyed the screams he heard behind a black door. He smiled. Angelique really knew what she was doing.

He continued and made another turn to left. After a while he entered a slightly lit hallway. This part of Hell was different. It was 'her' territory. He had never heard a single cry from these passages and it was becoming slightly irritating. But what made him even more irritated was the fact that Leviathan didn't notice it, he didn't even look this way. She was now one of Leviathan's favorites, just like he was. He frowned. She had done nothing to earn that.

He listened carefully but didn't hear anything. Nothing had changed to his disappointment. Suddenly he heard someone laugh. He stiffened, too chocked to move. He had ever in his time as the Prince of Hell heard laughing in his domain.

He opened the door and saw her standing there, talking with the soul. What made him even more furious was the feeling he saw on the soul's face. The soul was happy.

…

Before Xipe Totec entered my territory I was really having a good time. The soul I had been given turned out to be a funny one. Poor man had been shaking madly when I entered the room. He was chained to the large stone table in the middle of the room.

¨ I wanna go home please let me go¨ he begged with his eyes closed. When I saw him I just couldn't touch him with my knives. I didn't want to see him bleed. I sat beside him and tried to calm him down. Slowly he opened his eyes and…smiled when he saw me. I smiled back.

¨ I though I was in Hell, but now I see an angel¨ he said with a charming voice. I laughed slightly, enjoying the feeling. I can't even remember the last time I had smiled.

¨ Are you one of those demons? ¨ he asked. ¨ You really don't seem like one of them. He looked at my clothes; a black leather halterneck top and long, tight leather skirt. Finally his blue eyes met my black eyes.

¨ Well…I am not human…¨ I started and laughed when I saw the look on his face. He was cute.

¨ …but I'm not a demon either, so I don't know who I am¨ I finished and started to take the chains off him. When he was free he sat up and hugged me.

¨ Thank you¨ he whispered.

I didn't know what to do. This warm feeling was…something I'd forgotten. Slowly I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him.

¨ Actually I should be the one to say thank you¨ I said and released him.

He gave me a questioning look ¨ Why? ¨

I smiled sadly. ¨ I haven't smiled in a long time…¨ I answered him. He eyed me for a while, like he was planning something. Suddenly he tickled me. I started laughing and quickly jumped away from him.

¨ Don't ever do that again or I'll kill you¨ I said and tried to look serious. He was suddenly very quiet and pale. I could hear his heart beating very fast. Poor thing.

¨ I was just joking¨ I smiled. He smiled back.

Suddenly the air felt so cold…I could feel something getting closer. I quickly realized what exactly was coming. I had no time to warn the poor soul before the door burst open and Xipe Totec walked inside. Pure rage burned behind those black emotionless eyes.

¨ Please don't hurt us! ¨ the man begged and fell down on his knees. Guess he didn't know that the Prince of Hell paid no attention to pitiful pleas. Chains shot trough his chest and dragged him out of the room.

¨ My Lord! He is mine. You said…¨ I yelled but he roared in rage and I fell silent. I bowed my head in submission, hoping he wouldn't punish me this time.

¨ Souls are brought here to Hell for a reason Adele. You know that¨ he hissed and walked closer.

¨ So tell me, why do I need to remind you every time I give you a soul¨. He was now standing only a few steps away from me and I could feel the anger radiating from him and it burned my skin. I flinched and took a step back. That was a very bad mistake. He took the move as an insult and quickly he hit me. I stumbled backwards and jumped behind the large stone table. I thought I was safe from his hands but I was wrong. He moved faster than the wind. I had no time to defend myself and soon he grabbed my throat and lifted me up with one hand.

I gasped and stared into his eyes. He eyed me for a moment, and then tossed me like I had no weight at all. I hit the wall and fell on the floor. Slowly I stood up, keeping my gaze on the floor. I don't remember him ever being this angry…

¨ Why Leviathan made you or why he spared your ability to feel is beyond my understanding…¨ he hissed. ¨ But I never question our creator…our God¨. He was now behind me and I felt his cold breath against my neck. He touched my long blonde hair.

He was breathing slower now so I assume he had calmed down.

¨ Leviathan made you for a reason, but unfortunately the reason is still a shadow¨. He was now standing in front of me. Slowly I looked up, staring at his chest for a while until I dared to look into his eyes. His eyes never revealed what he was thinking…or feeling. You never knew if he was bored, angry or tired when you talked with him. Not until he let you know it…in a painful way.

¨ I will never be like you…¨ I whispered. ¨ It's impossible¨. He laughed quietly and I narrowed my eyes.

¨ Never is such a strong word, Adele. You should use it more carefully¨ he purred. I shivered. Damn, sometimes he was very frightening, but sometimes he could be very…seductive. I quickly looked on the floor. My eyes could easily show my feelings if I'm not careful.

He turned and walked out of the room. I didn't move until I felt he had left my quarters. I looked around the now empty room. Once again I am alone in this place. I walked out and headed for my private quarters. I needed some rest after this little encounter.

I hate my private quarters. In my bedroom is a large bed and a table with a mirror. I have a bathroom with a small pool. I had begged Leviathan to give me a bathroom and to my surprise he answered. Oh, the look on Angelique's face was priceless when she found out.

The largest room was so boring; a large wooden table, four chairs, an empty bookshelf in each corner and a writing desk.

I yawned and walked to my bedroom. Slowly I crawled on my bed and fell asleep.
