We leave off at the end of Hellseeker where Kristy once again makes a deal with Pinhead. She will bring him five souls in exchange for her own. The five souls include her husband Trevor the three women he was cheating on her with and Trevor's best friend who he had conspired with to kill Kristy for her inheritance. Only after his death does she discover that she is pregnant with his child. A daughter she named Nichole.
Authors Note: I do not own Hellraiser or any of its characters. I do own my OC's I also want to thank Jayden (may he rest in peace) for the inspiration particularly in CH2: )
People are singing happy birthday and sitting around a large table Kristy walks in the room carrying a cake. Ok Nichole make a wish and blow out the candles.
Don't you think I'm a little old for this I am 20? Nichole asked. I don't care if your 80 you will always be my little girl. Kristy replied.
She looks at her daughter and smiles. How about you start to open your presents and I'll go get some plates so we can cut the cake.
Kristy walks out of the room as Nichole's best friend Rachel passes a small wrapped box down to Nichole.
Well go ahead and unwrap it.
Nichole hastily tears the paper off to reveal a wooden box with a beautiful and intricate gold pattern covering it
What is it? Nichole asked
It's a puzzle box go ahead and try to open it.
Nichole studies the box and begins to play with it her fingers desperately searching for the pressure points that would unlock this mystifying device. The sensation of the smooth lacquered surface was like silk against her skin. Without warning sparks begin to emanate from the box and it flies across the room, as it does Kristy walks back in carrying the plates and sees the box. A look of shock and fear covers her face as the plates fall to the floor shattering. Then a flash of light covers the room, as the light fades all the guests have disappeared.
Oh God no, Fuckin hell this can't be happening again!
The glass in the picture frames shatter, blood drips down the walls and a neon light seems to be coming through them. The lights flicker the TV blips off and on and wind begins to blow within the house. Kristy knew what would happen next, she had been through this too many times. Soon they would come, the demons she had worked so hard to escape.
Kristy's body was trembling as she turned to her daughter. Nichole get out of here, Now! But she couldn't move she all she could do was stand there her face void of emotion.
Three sections of the walls opened up on the left and right sides of the room and two cenobites slowly and ominously enter closing in on her like a pack of ravenous wolves. One of them had wires pulling back the flesh from his ribs with metal rings going through the bones and two horizontal bars going through his upper and lower lip. The other one had large areas of skin and flesh removed from his neck, chest and arms. His face was also severely scarred.
God damnit! Nichole I said get out of here! Please! Run now!
Kristy runs to grab her daughter and begins to flee the room. Just when they reach the door, chains burst out from the walls blocking them. Kristy turns and begins screaming.
No! Somebody help us. Please God help us! Kristy screams her voice catching in her throat. Then she sees him and he looks the same as he did the last time she saw him almost six years ago. The memories of that night still fresh in her mind. His entrance was regal, almost general like and in the back of her mind she couldn't help but think how fitting it was given his past life.
Aw Kristy, you are quite fond of this game aren't you?
No! We made a deal.
One in which I have every intention of honoring
Then why are you here? I didn't open the box.
Oh, I'm not here for you my girl. He looks towards Nichole.
Oh no! No you can't, you can't. She didn't know what she was doing. Please don't do this to her.
With a sinister laugh he replies. Oh, the appetites I will teach her. Think of what she will become when she takes her place by my side.
No! Kristy screamed. A look of fear and pain unlike anything he had ever seen came over her face.
Oh, though your suffering is still sweet. Your fears are unjustified.
Why does this keep happening?
Oh, Kristy you opened the box many years ago my dear. It will always find its way back to you.
No! I don't believe you. I can't.
But it's true. Deep inside you know it to be true.
I won't let you do this. A deal, I'll make you a deal you can take me back instead. Her voice frantic as tears streamed down her face
No more deals Kristy your flesh no longer tempts me.
Chains wrap around her and under the weight of them she falls to the floor begging and screaming.
He then turns his attention to Nichole who is still standing there with a look of confusion plastered across her face. He walks towards her and offers his hand.
Come my child, I have such sights to show you.
Nichole looks to her mother who is struggling to free herself from the chains then looks up at the thing standing in front of her. She knows she can't run and a small part of her buried deep inside doesn't want to. Curiosity consumed her as she reaches out to take his hand.
Kristy screams. No, don't do this, please don't take her I beg of you. Nichole run you don't know what your doing!
Oh, but she does. Pinhead said.
Stitch walks over and picks the box up. Then he and Pierce leave the room and the two sections of the walls close behind them.
Don't do this! I'll do whatever you want just don't take her
Kristy looks at Nicole and their eyes meet Nichole looks up at Xipe Totec who tilts his head towards her in acknowledgment.
No wait please, wait. But her cries fall on deaf ears and Nichole and Xipe Totec disappear into the light. Kristy's screaming continues as the wall slams shut.
Upon entering the dark void of hell Xipe Totec extends his hand in a commanding yet enticing manner. He would not allow any member of his Gash to touch her. He wanted to experience her with his own hands. She was his to mold a fresh canvas with endless possibilities. Her flesh untouched her mind open and ready to receive all his knowledge. Her transformation would be his to experience and hers to cherish. He took his time in carving his future consort, her flesh so tender as it fell to the floor, her blood so pure as it streamed down her bare legs covering her feet, he took great pleasure in her screams knowing that she did everything in her power to hold them back. Nichole was strong like her mother but unlike Kristy her soul had a glimmer of darkness that just needed to be nurtured. She refused to break eye contact with her tormenter, even though she had reached a place where she could no longer discern between pain and pleasure. Thoughts and emotions raced through her head so fast she couldn't hold onto one long enough to fully comprehend it. Then nothing. The chaos in her head was gone and the only thing that remained was focus and desire. Nichole began to examine her new body with skin that was slightly paler than before. She had small metal spikes implanted deep in her flesh that started behind her ears outlining her shoulders and went down her arms to her wrist and around them like a bracelet. Her long nails were replaced by metal talons. She wore a skintight black leather body suit that exposed her stomach and entire back revealing an intricate pattern carved deep into her skin. Xipe Totec eyed the captivating creation standing before him. Like an artist admiring his masterpiece. Come my dear I have such sights to show you.
Pierce and Stitch enter a room where a man is pushed back against a wall with fear in his eyes. The box at his feet Pierce begins to move towards the man.
Xipe Totec and Nichole enter the room at a relaxed pace as if time no longer had any meaning. Wait. The voice was Xipe Totec's it was somewhat raspy and inhuman.
Pierce and Stitch turn to him as he shifts his eyes towards Nichole.
So let's see what you have learned
A look of fear and disbelief comes over the man when he sees them Xipe Totec who was tall and his eyes were dark and merciless he had an intricate grid cut deep into his head at the intersection of every vertical and horizontal axis was a long pin driven through to the bone. He seemed to have an indifference about him that was even more disconcerting than his appearance & Nichole her eyes were bright and seemed to have lights shining through them and though she had a strange allure about her he could sense the cruelty in her.
Nichole walks up to the man her eyes shifting as she begins to look him over when suddenly a chain flies out from the nothingness of hell puncturing the mans stomach wrapping around his spine then retracts pulling him into hell.
He loses sense of his surroundings when they return to him he is strung up by the chains he looks around. The room is dark and he can just barely see the outline of four figures.
He begins to pull against the chains.
Then Pinhead, Nichole and the two other cenobites appear out of the shadows so they are now clearly visible.
What's happening? The man asked his voice tainted with a sweet mix of fear and pain.
You should know. Nichole replied
No this wasn't supposed to happen! He said the box was the key to ultimate pleasures.
And how do you perceive pleasure? Nichole asked.
The look on his face said it all.
Oh, such a limited imagination the definition of pleasure cannot be fully obtained by an act that lacks the ability to truly awaken the mind. There are sensations in this world that bring about such pleasure through pain that the difference between suffering and enjoyment becomes indivisible
Who are you what do you want?
Nichole turns to Pinhead with a sort of sadistic smile on her face.
We are explores, angels of suffering, masters of flesh and what we want is your soul.
Why are you doing this?
You summoned us. Nichole replied her voice void of emotion.
No I didn't.
You solved the box we came. Nichole raises her arms as she motions to the other cenobites.
It's just a fuckin puzzle box!
Oh no it is much more. It is a pathway to our domain. A world of flesh and desire.
This cant be real. The man repeated to himself over and over again putting his hands over his ears in an effort to block out the noise.
Oh but it is, it is very real.
You can't do this. The man screamed
You are not the first to deny us and you will not be the last.
Pinhead and Nichole turn to each other with a look of sadistic pleasure in their eyes.
There is no one here to help you. You belong to us now.
I wont let you do this.
Your acquiescence is not required.
Without touching the man she releases the chain and slams him up against a large metal cross. Stakes then slam through his shoulders.
Thick metal hooks dig into his sides holding him to the cross as barbed wire wraps around his arms and legs. Then a metal collar with spikes on the inside clamps around his throat. The seductive sound of the smooth metal severing his tendons filled the air as blood covered his body and pooled at his feet like a crimson waterfall.
I didn't know. He says his voice weak and barley audible.
The man cries out in pain and prays for death knowing it will never come.
Good let us hear your cries. But be certain they will do nothing to prevent the suffering that awaits you she says as she begins to move closer to him. When there were only inches between them she put her hand over his mouth and whispered in his ear. You have an opportunity to experience what lies in the darkest corners of your subconscious. This place is not the death of dreams but the birth of fantasy. Xipe Totec and Nichole leave the room and begin walking down a long narrow stone hallway. The walls were ice cold and damp he turns to her and says in his usual raspy voice. You have proven yourself worthy as my consort. She turns to him the emotion in her eyes was unmistakable… Hunger. Tell me this. Have you ever wanted more? More? He replied his voice inquisitive. There must be more than what the damned souls of this world have to offer. Go on. His reply was short but there was a refined intensity to his voice. Perhaps something of a more personal nature something more physical.
