They pulled another horse from the coral, threw her across it and tied her hands to her feet beneath the horse, as she screamed and pleaded to the townspeople to help her. But the townspeople remained standing, their faces downcast, as one by one members of the crowd slipped away from the scene.The two men mounted their horses and loped out of town, tugging Krista’s horse along after them. After several miles the two men stopped and one came back and cut the rope binding Krista’s hands to her feet.She was picked off the horse and thrown roughly to the ground onto her face. Everything hurt from the rough ride.She started to push up weakly from the ground when a voice from her past spoke, “Well, well, what do we have here but old scarface herself!”Krista’s insides clenched as she looked up through the tangles of her hair and saw the fat, corpulent form of Esmeralda standing before her, who had only grown uglier with age.“You’ve only gotten prettier with age, honey. You brought me b

Her hips and the sides of her cheeks were clearly visible. She knew she was regarded as a beautiful woman, but this outfit left little to be discovered or imagined. It was humiliating!Why did she have to go through this further humiliation before she could be free? She bit her lip and tried to hold on to the hope that the messenger’s words had brought her, but it was hard and she fought against the tears that threatened to fall. She would not show any weakness to the mongering crowd she could hear jabbering in the market room beyond the thin walls of the prep room. The door of the room opened, they had come for her.The boards of the stage that her bare feet traveled across had been worn smooth by the countless poor souls who had been led across them before her. Stillness had fallen over the formerly mad atmosphere of the place.The stage was well lit in the otherwise seedy and rundown building. She was led to the center of the stage and the iron anklet around her left ankle was secu

“Jasper .”He turned back to her questioningly. Krista knelt down before him and extended her hand with her palm up in a sign of submission.“Master, I promise to never run away from you ever again! I swear it! I will serve you all of my days faithfully! My body is yours to enjoy as you wish and my heart will be obedient to every word you say, but my spirit, I give to the Creator, who has used you, my master, to save me from the darkness of these people and the hell that resides within them. My Creator has given me a better master in you than I could have ever wished for, but one thing I beg of you master is that you would never allow me to be parted from you again, because I love you with all of my heart!”Throughout her impassioned speech tears had been streaming down her face, and her voice was choked with the strong emotions that she felt for the man risking his life to save her.Jasper I couldn’t stand to watch her blurt out her heart in promised slavery to me for one more secon

He must wake Charles to stop Jasper from dooming the world.The ornate doors to the Queen’s Chambers swung open to allow him in, then shut and locked behind him.The room was quiet, with ambient lighting from the scones around the room. The large fireplace was dark and cold. No one had been in here since Sha’ní discovered the gray demon.Horace walked deliberately through the sitting room and into the bedroom. He could sense the mansion watching the intruder very closely. He would not have much time to wake her.Horace slowly raised Charles ’s jackal body into his arms.

Charles knew the attack would come before the spear appeared. She had just enough time to block his thrust with the staff he gave her as a wedding present.

“Father?”“Yes, Sha’ní. I am here. If the demons feed on the souls, they will become too strong for us to fight them.”Sha’ní glanced at Lilene, who stood silently with a smirk on her face. Jasper placed a hand on Lilene’s shoulder in confirmation of her silent question."Are you with Lilene? Have you forsaken us?”“I have not forsaken you. It is you who has forsaken me. My army fights for you, and the souls have begun following you. I will not allow you to rule my domain.”“Father, I...”Sha’ní paused and looked at the succubus. This was a lie. Jasper would not side with a demon no matter his feelings toward his daughter.“I will take your kingdom for my gain. You will be a slave at my feet!” She growled and thrust Death to kill Lilene.She raised her red sword to block Death; however, Death hit the crystal blade and shimmied down to her arm, nearly severing it.Lilene cried out and clutched her arm.

It was too painful to face.Ra’s finger lifted her jaw to look him in the eyes. She expected to see his madness, but it did not stop the shiver.“You have lost, child. Did you think you could overpower me?”“No, my Lord.”“You will be the first to fall.”“Yes, my Lord,” She mumbled.Nothing mattered. Sha’ní would not fight him. She wondered if she died in this reality if her body would actually die.The only way to kill a god was to destroy the soul. If her mind believed her to be dead, would she wake up from her nightmare or remain in the dark?A cold and dark power went through her forcing a scream out before her lungs locked. Her heart fluttered in her chest, fighting to keep her alive. The darkness continued further down until it reached her soul. Sha’ní’s body went rigid, and a silent scream was etched on her face. It would not be long now.The cold gri
