Hal Route: Chapter 4 Pt 3

I bite back a sound of pain as Silvio's hands burn me right through my clothes. I stare in almost fascination when my clothes never burn… always just my skin.

The awful pain distracts me from my thoughts and I'm aware of Silvio smiling down at me. He knows I'm in pain but doesn't put me down. This man is not the merciful sort, especially after being twice spurned.

Silvio chuckles, "If you wanted me this badly, you didn't have to throw yourself in my arms. How unfaithful of you." His implication has my head spinning.

"Let me go. I simply fell while trying to find a book," I grind through my teeth.

A darkness falls across Silvio's eyes. Setting me on my feet abruptly, he plucks the tome from my hands.

"Hey, I was going to read that!" I yelp, ignoring the protest of my burns to grab it back.

Holding it above my head, Silvio tssked, "This story doesn't suit you," he pulls his glasses off and leans close. "Just the other day I read a fascinating story." The smile on his face chilled me to the bone, but it was impossible to look away those from yellow eyes.

"Would you like to know what it was about?"

I can only nod; my body rooted to the spot. (What is he doing? Help somebody!)

"The story is about a Queen who is in love with her servant," he gauges my reaction. "Despite their love for one another they are ripped apart because the Queen is promised to a Prince. The servant meets his end with a tragic—"

"N—no, stop it!" I manage to cry out but those few words have me spent. Silvio knows about Hal and me…

Dropping the book where it lands on the ground with a resounding thud, Silvio grabs me to force me hard into the bookcase, "Unfortunately for you, I desire to have you for myself but I'm not interested in being your partner." Silvio leans over me seductively and runs a finger across my lips, leaving a scorching trail. A moan of pain passes my lips as I glare up at him.

"What I want is your soul. It will give me more power than the Demon King himself. I will take over this world as the new king." A dark laugh escapes him. "I tried so hard to win you over to me but that damn rabbit got in the way. Tell me. My Queen." He presses his body into mine.

Alarm bells go off in my head. (Oh God, what is he doing?!)

"Have you taken bunny boy to your bed? You know that's all you have to do to bind yourself to your chosen partner. It's so easy but I bet your little bunny hasn't told you how it works.

"No, no!" I can't believe he would imply such a thing as that.

Silvio sighs, "I see that's not the case yet. I suspect he knows he can't your true partner. A simple commoner; a butler such as him.

(Stop bad talking Hal!)

Silvio slams his fists on either side of me, sending my heart hammering with panic. "I can still take you right here. Pity you're not much to look at. His hands run across my body, invisible flames trailing my skin. Those hands touch me in places they never should and I tremble in silent rage. A hand slips under my dress. "I have no interest in sharing your power. I want all of it." Just as he touches the inside of my thigh he draws back and I nearly sink to the floor with relief if I hadn't been held up.

Silvio grabs my face, "I promise not to drain you all in one day. I will slowly drain you of your soul." He gives me a wicked grin, "and you will willingly allow it or I will reveal Harold's feelings for you. He might even be banished from the castle or imprisoned for inappropriate actions against the Queen." This man knows no limits of cruelty. Silvio already knows I have no choice but to obey.

Tipping my head back, he rams me so hard into the bookcase that several books tumble down. "I tried to ease you into this but you refused my attentions. Now I have to take it by force." He grins just like a demon. "Don't worry, only Harold can hear your screams. Don't hold back, I want him to hear you."

Harder and harder I'm pressed into the bookcase. I feel like my back will snap; mouth filling with fire as Silvio's presses his lips to mine, his tongue forcing its way through. I'm lightheaded but not because I'm being kissed with passion. There's nothing passionate about this animalistic assault as he forces me to endure it. I can't breathe and I feel like I'm suffocating. I can feel something inside me ripping as he takes a piece of my soul away. I've never felt such agony. A chilling scream keens from my lips but Silvio bites my lip hard to shush me but I only scream that much more. I can taste my blood just before he wrenches me from him. As if I was the one wanting the unwanted attention. I slam hard against the bookcase before slumping lifeless to the floor. I feel so cold I barely feel myself being buried in books.

I watch as Silvio casually replaces his glasses. "I will come to you again, Your Majesty." He's gone in a blink.

I want to cry and scream at the same, I hurt so much. My skin is black and blue with a litter of red patches but only a few are blistered. Handprints are visible on my arms and I'm afraid to know what my face is like. I feel and look like I wrestled with a dragon. I'm too exhausted to shake off all the books. Tears fill up my eyes while I shake uncontrollably with cold. "Hal…" I whisper out into the empty air, "H—help me."

The library door slams open to reveal my love. And then… he's beside me, "Amelia!" Hal shoves the books away to cradle me against his body.

"S—so warm," I mumble into his shirt.

"Silvio…" Hal growls, "What has he done to you?" he's shaking in fury and makes to stand up.

"No! Please don't leave," he doesn't and instead picks me up. My whole body is screaming against his touch and yet I don't want him to let go.

I don't get to ask where he's taking me because the darkness overtakes me.

I changed a little details about Silvio to bend with my story. Most of it is believable and sounds legit. I mostly got my details from his route. I know he actually blisters MC to the skin and probably wouldn't not burn her clothes but it works better this way. The way he's touching her in this would officially fry her head.
As far as slowly draining her soul. I believe he could have the power to do that if he wanted. Just a thought.
