13: Horns


She rose from the gaping wound that was in between the poor soul's chest, what seemed like black water tinkled and rolled from her skin. Maleficent horns branched from the back of her head like a crown, both perforated ends suspended with hanging jewelries. They were sharp. Those ends curved and tunneled toward her eyes, but never touching. Her shiny mane were stuck on her damp, black-watered skin, and made into her own cape as it left water tracks behind.

Protruding from her back, thin film of sticky leathers were dragged among the bloodied floor, twitching and torn. Her skin was white, and her eyes…he could never forget her eyes. Her brilliant blue eyes that gleamed from the dark. She refused the begging fools, all overjoyed by her arrival from the depth of hell. Her eyes then landed on the boy in the cage.

"Was it also ye that called to I?" Her voice…

Her voices…so many grinded in one beautifully tragic sound.

A cold shiver ran through his spine, his mind screamed from the horror that was she. But his heart cried in relief.

He could not say nothing, his trembling eyes never leaving the hellish being. He could not look away.

It was his eyes that gave the creature her answer.

"Very well. This one shall too show you the power I wield." Within matter of minutes she slaughtered and tortured the masked fools who sought to use his life to bring them power. She left few alive-already dying-, prolonging their suffering, and to witness the exchanges between their young victim and the she-devil. A worthy price to pay for trying to use a devil for their own selfish gains.

She was not shy with her methods, gutting and mutilating these cruel lords and ladies. He watched it all, sickened yet found pleasure in viewing his sufferers being punished. Ripping long ropes of guts out of these pathetic bastards was her personal favorite, as he saw her repeating it out of sheer joy.

She trapped the doors so there would be no escaping from she-devil, before she lunged for her first victim. He remembered laughing when he heard them screaming from the gruesome sight, the very same way they laughed at him when he cried.
