To Perish Once More: Chapter 15: Shackles

-Jasmine Fields

Mmmm...

Blood.

What a remarkable substance. The essence of its purpose - tragically - was under valued by the majority of those relying on its properties.

Sure, she returned the black shard to its rightful owner. Strategizing for months, he schemed ways for the remaining taijia to put each other out of their mutual misery.

She did abandon the boy…

Though he was not appalled at death, he planned the demise of the child and his sister much more…

Sophisticatedly.

It was a foreign word, but one that suited its purpose.

He didn't care, so long as any proposal was clever and entertained the intricate workings of his imagination. His devotion to his true fascination was unknown to even the most loyal of his subjects. Only the enemy knew the truth…or, in the least, had awareness.

He heaved a sigh… mmm…

For treason - it was her just dessert. He ought naught pity the bitch.

Yes, that was his duty - to deal her justice. He was, after all, her creator, lord, and ruler. She had obligations to fulfill - that, and she failed to remember her status. Not good for her.

No matter.

There are other… means.

For now, he would take enjoyment from her.

The thrill of her… shuddering in her filth, hate and fear as she lay on the floor.

Delicious.

How he loved it. He was mesmerized.

Truly.

His pleasure came when he honed her terror.

Always - he craved…this ecstasy.

His trinket was his paradise.

For now.

He had to remind himself of her rebellion and intent to deny him the desire of his heart and the consumption of his thoughts.

Ah…mmm…delicious.

He smiled in her wake at her pathetic excuse of an apology. He would survive her betrayal. All her cunning attempts to evade his rule and sabotage his name did not keep him from exercising his true sovereignty.

Never could he refuse her from his appetites. She always blatantly defied him. The woman was insatiable. Her zealous attempts to escape intensified his will to dominate. If he could master her resolve…crush the raging torrents of her soul…cause her soul to rupture beneath his flesh, then he could prevail over the entire world - even the heavens, if such an indulging fantasy existed.

A smile grazed his lips.

…mmm…delicious.

Even though he considered him self rather generous tonight, she was still not convinced of his supremacy.

Tonight, Hakudoushi would share the pleasure.

Inhaling his discontent, he summoned his twin heart.

I am invincible.

The upset rebel whimpering beneath them turned vulgar and hysterical.

She should appreciate that I still allow her to live…

Hakudoushi eased his annoyance some what.

Shit.

Tonight, she was better behaved than other nights… or even days.

She was withholding important information.

Oh gods! His eyes rolled to the back of his head with the exhilaration of her pain.

He'd be going soft on her, if he relented now.

Shit.

He finally relaxed and began to commit, anew, his vow to interrogate her in the morning. Caging her free reigning spirits - momentarily, in any case - relieved the anxiety of his misfortune.

Tonight, she was irresistibly delectable.
