Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 04:25 PM

Akuma silently walked through the orc's study, fingers dancing over the page. An open door is the perfect invitation... he thought to himself as he listened to the blubbering in the other room. "How... sentimental." He chuckled softly. He tapped a claw like nail against a vial. Glass thin as paper... how far they've come. Boots soft against the floor he crossed to the doorway and leaned against it, arms crossed. The orc would drop at any moment and be dead before he hit the floor. Unobserved food is the perfect invitation. he silently watched their conversation, hidden behind the orcs back. His heart will race, pound in his ears. His lungs shall fill with blood. And he shall die from suffocation. he smiled as the orc crumpled to the floor and the princess would see him standing in the door, eyes alight. "Good evening."

I watch the orc fall to the floor in shock, face still streaked with tears. I stare at the figure behind him, confusion easy to read on my grief-stricken face. I haven't a clue what is going on. "Who are you?" I ask boldly, despite the sheer lingerie my brother had arranged for me to be sold wearing. I pull myself together and try to be dignified at this intruder.

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 04:44 PM

"My name is Akuma." He smiled, "though you're more likely to know me as The Ghoul if you follow with any sort of politics." He crossed to the orcs body checking his pulse. "Huh... resilient one. I dosed him high enough to kill a whole ballroom." He chuckled as he stood back up. "But I've been sent to fetch you princess as much as a despise being a gopher for my masters. Ah well." He sighed exasperated.

Etonia Va'lace BOT 21-Dec-21 04:58 PM

I look at the orc, willing him to die quickly. I try not to look at the contract not wanting to draw attention to it. "Who sent you? You killed him!" I don't know how I feel about that. The orc had purchased me as a slave, after all. Though I agreed it was only fitting with what I'd done.

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 05:04 PM

"I tried to. And I know of you're little contract. I'm going to remedy that as well, have no fear." He smiled tucking his hands into his sleeves. "And as for my masters, that doesn't matter." He chuckled gently and held out a hand, "Now come. Let us deal with that pesky magic contract of yours."

Etonia Va'lace BOT 21-Dec-21 05:07 PM

I look at your hand and raise an eyebrow. What, am I supposed to just hand it over? This guy is insane! Then again, as far as I know, a blood contract is unalterable. Still, I clutch it to my chest and step back. If the orc was dying, the contract would end. I just needed to hold on until he died.

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 05:10 PM

He tsked face twitching. "Your arm. Now. Make this easy on us both or I'll simply send your corpse home. Though I might take a bite or two." He grinned tongueing his teeth, the pupil of his eye spreading wide to cover his iris, the whites of his eyes going red. "And we don't want that now do we?"

Etonia Va'lace BOT 21-Dec-21 05:13 PM

I watch this change come over you, shock and fear taking my breath away. I can't step back any farther because of the table behind me. Trembling, I reach out my hand, hoping you won't actually bite me, not at all sure you don't mean to do exactly that.

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 05:18 PM

He bit into the meat of his hand hard enough to pool blood then grabbed her wrist, talking quietly. Blood magic was known, but taboo to practice. It required pain, blood, and too much death for even madmen to actively practice. His blood spiderwebbed up her skin before sinking in, a shift in her heating up her core and making her heart race. "See... not so bad." He chuckled and wrapped his hand in a handkerchief

Etonia Va'lace BOT 21-Dec-21 05:26 PM

"wha-! What did you do! What happened?" I ask frantically, pulling my hand back from you. I look at the blood on my hand and arm, watching it fade in. A sickening feeling makes me want to throw up. "What did you do?" I whisper, glaring at you.

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 05:30 PM

"Just a little contract of my own." He chuckled and stepped to the orc, tipping his face up with a boot. "Odd for one to be so civilized. Shame really. I'd have loved a taste." He slammed his foot down, smashing open the orcs skull and splattering blood and brains across the floor. "Good thing I wore spats." He grinned looking at his bloodied boot. "These boots were expensive."

Etonia Va'lace BOT 21-Dec-21 05:46 PM

I scream, horrified, and turn to run. Theres just the wall behind me, though, and unless I want to try and get through the narrow window I'm trapped. I turn back to you, the sight of the orc finally making me retch painfully. Nothing comes up- I hadn't eaten in days. I grab at the collar, working my fingers under it, trying to get it loose. If the orc was dead the contract was ended. It should have fallen off at his death. But it remained stuck fast. I sob, trying to figure out what is going on. I have suspicions, but this was not what my brother had meant...was it? He'd sold me to one monster, had he decided to send a worse monster? "Who sent you?" I choke out through my sobs. "Who are you?"

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 05:50 PM

"Stop whining. You'll get on my nerves." He tsked, disgusted but didn't stop smiling. She felt her tears stop, despite the sorrow still there. "Now let's go. I have work elsewhere." He growled.

Etonia Va'lace BOT 21-Dec-21 05:59 PM

I'd been reassigned! The contract was non transferable, or supposed to be. Had he recontracted me? I feel compelled to follow, despite my fear and revulsion. Fighting my own body was futile. I stand and follow him, my eyes dry. I can't fight the compulsion to obey, it causes pain throughout my body to even consider it! I follow, realizing this was stronger magic than my brother had used for his contract. Much stronger. I walk over the ork, keeping my eyes on his hands. I should have been greatful for what I had.

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 06:06 PM

He yanked open a wardrobe and pulled out a coat, tsked, and tossed it aside to pull out another. He held it out silently to her, then shook it gently when she didn't take it. He tucked his hands into his sleeves turning his back to her, face relaxing into a tired frown now that she couldn't see. "I'll loosen the contract when you learn to behave."

Etonia Va'lace BOT 21-Dec-21 06:16 PM

I take the coat and put it on. At least I was covered now. Not that it made much difference. I stand there silently, waiting for my next order. I hug the coat around myself, realizing I am truly terrified of this creature. I wish I could cry, I want to just crumple and cry, but my body forces me to obey. I don't have a choice.

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 06:19 PM

He relaxed her contract, trying to ease the discomfort of it while his own dug into his chest. yea yea. I know he tsked to himself and led the way out of the house. "Your orc? He have horses or what?" He asked as he opened the front door, shivering at the cold wind of the night.

Etonia Va'lace BOT 21-Dec-21 06:20 PM

"I don't know. I don't know anything about him. He bought me this morning." I answer, my voice sounding cold and empty to my own ears.

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 06:24 PM

"Ah... well. No shame in his death then." He chuckled softly. "I had to eat my horse so I'm a bit lacking in the transport department." He led the way out glancing around for a barn of any sorts. He grunted gently in pain as his own contract tugged again and he pressed a hand to his chest panting softly. Marks around his throat rose to the surface, opposite of how his blood had absorbed into her. He paused for a moment to catch his breath.

Etonia Va'lace BOT 21-Dec-21 06:43 PM

I narrow my eyes, noticing your apparent discomfort. There's more to this than it seems. Not that it does me any good. "Are you well....you are your horse?" I ask incredulously

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 06:47 PM

He held up a finger to say he'd speak in a moment before straightening back up. "Yea sadly. It was a pretty horse." He sighed softly walking to a barn and pulling the door open. "I was starving to the point of illness I had to." He sighed. He was actually defending himself for killing his horse? Out of everything so far...

Akuma BOT 21-Dec-21 07:12 PM

He saddled up two horses and then got on one sighing tapping the saddle horn as he tucked his feet in the stirrups. He waited for her rubbing his neck gently as the marks faded. He was under a contract himself? After a moment he clicked to the horse trotting out onto the drive, and looked back to wait for her.
