Chapter 21- Pain Or Pleasure, pt. 2

"Well, well, well," Eros said, clicking his tongue. "What do we have here?"

Achlys was huddled in a corner, Diabolos standing over her. "I think I have given her the scare of her life, my liege," Diabolos replied.

"That is good, my minion," Eros replied.

"Not for me," Achlys muttered.

"What was that, child?" Diabolos asked.

"I said," Achlys began, her voice shaking. "It's not good for me."

"That is the point," Diabolos said. "This was to scare you. My work is done."

"Like hell it is," Achlys grumbled.

"I see the girl still has some of her stubbornness," Eros murmured.

"That won't be a problem, my liege," Diabolos said. "I can take some of that away."

"No, let it stay like that," Eros said. "It just means she needs more punishing."

"What do you have in mind?"

"I have no idea as of yet," Eros replied. "But it will be painful, since she refuses to crack."

Achlys gulped.

"Aha!" Diabolos smiled. "She is growing afraid now."

"I am not—there was something in my throat," Achlys stammered.

"Sure there was," Diabolos said. " There is no need to lie."

"I'm not lying," Achlys shouted.

"There is also no need to shout," Diabolos murmured.

"Listen to him, he knows what he is talking about," Eros said.

"As if I would listen to either of you," Achlys spat.

"You might want to—if you want to live," Eros said, his eyes glowing red.

"And that is a must," Diabolos added.

"Let me go," Achlys begged. "I won't tell anyone where I've been."

"Who are you going to tell?" Eros asked. "Everyone you know is gone—dead by my hands."

"Who cares?" Achlys shouted again. " I can still tell someone about what you are doing."

Diabolos snickered. "Who would believe you?"

"I don't think anyone would care," Eros snickered.

"You're horrible."

"I know I am," Eros smiled.

"Let me go!" Achlys screamed.

"Take it like a bitch," Eros hissed. "And maybe the pain will be lessened. Diabolos is making sure that you aren't getting killed by his demented methods."

"I am not a bitch," Achlys growled. "And you can't do this to me."

"I can, and I will," Eros hissed again. "And I will—trust me."
