Out of the Darkness

There was a bottle of brandy by Tom's side. He hoped that it would settle his nerves but, it didn't. It had been two, maybe three weeks since he'd seen his wife or to put it correctly his ex-wife. He wasn't drinking because he was miserable. If it was misery then he would have drank himself to death or tried with all his might to find Merope even if it killed him. No, he wasn't in misery he was afraid. Afraid of what? He would ask himself in his half drunk mind.

The reasonable answer would be his former wife. He remembered the way she changed before him in a horrifically beautiful way. Tom never forgot the roses growing out of her skin, the way she floated off the ground, and most importantly the way her glowing jade eyes stared at him in hate. Tom took another swig of his drink. No, that couldn't be it although that image of her would be in his mind until his died he felt there was something….else.

For a moment Tom thought about going back to bed but decided against it. He thought about the body bound to that bed a moment ago then was gone the next. He thought about the sickness that almost took his sanity and his life. But the one thing that made him decide from going back to his bed was the two demons fucking in front of him like animals. He remembered, no he knew one of the demons was Merope….then there was the other.

Something scurried in the darkness. At first Tom thought it was a rat but, he got the feeling it was something else. The creature made the noise again only it was from the other side of the room and much closer to Tom. The noise was coming from Tom's left were his desk was. On that desk was two letters, one was from Merope informing him she was pregnant with his child. Tom laughed at that idea, Tom was unable to have children all thanks to a former childhood friend shooting his balls off. The other letter was a response to the whore that it wasn't his and confirming it. As far as he knew the child was the spawn of Satan.

The noise stopped as he looked under the desk. There was nothing there, nothing at all. Tom was relaxed at least a little then finished and sealed the letter to go. Once he told one of his servants to send this letter to Merope (he didn't know were she was and didn't bother to know) he was alone in the house or at least he thought he was. When he closed the door for the servant he thought he heard a voice. "Hello?" he called out in a weak voice. Tom nearly screamed as all the power went out of the house leaving him in darkness.

"Hello, Tom," Tom knew by that French accent that it was Angelique. When he looked to the right were the moon was shining upon her he was in awe of her beauty and strangely afraid. "Hello, Angelique," he stammered there was something not right here. "H-How did you get into my house?" he asked walking closer to her only to stop when he noticed there was something wrong with her eyes….they were pure black.

"Easy Riddle, you invited us in," she said coming closer to him making him back away from the she demon. Just when he thought this was bad his fears become intensified when he heard a male voice from behind him. "And we can come in whenever we want." Tom turned around, it might have been dark but he could see the pale face of the pin-headed demon that he saw in the bedroom before the angel came in. It's face was terrifying up close.

Tom's body went into flight mode as he tried to run out of the house for his dear life. He was so close to the door when he felt two sharp hooks dig into both of his shoulders. The pain was unbearably horrible as he was pulled the force by the chains then was suspended in mid-air with several more hooks piercing his flesh. "Oh God, please help me," Tom screamed in pain. Tom wasn't expecting an answer when a voice replied, "What makes you think I want to help you."

Tom looked for the speaker which sounded familiar then Levi Quirrell came out of the darkness. "What's….happening?" asked Tom, never had he been so afraid for his life. Levi didn't answer him only told the others to leave him alone with Tom. "I have something special for him," he said with a smile, his teeth were sharp like needles. The pinned demon and the she demon left them alone and Tom dreaded being left alone with this….man. "I've been wanting to do with for quite some time," said Levi coming closer to him. Tom' heart began to beat faster as he saw Levi change from a man to a monster with eyes glowing fiercely red. "You….it was you," said Tom.

Leviathan was close enough to touch Riddle. The Demon God gave him a smile to send chills up the spine. "Yes, Riddle," he said pulling out a sharp knife with a bent edge. "It was me," then proceeded to tear the flesh from Tom's face.
