#Kallista Kaines x Gabriel Reyes

[cleverfoxhound-writes]

Bound to you

Another AU that I’ve been wrapped up in and no clue what I was doing, lol.

An AU combo of Demon (like) & Monarch (like) AU featuring my OC and Gabriel Reyes.

Queen!Kallista Kaines x Demon!Gabriel Reyes

Her footsteps were quick and with purpose, a disturbance within the castle at this hour could only mean one thing. Dressed in her thin sheer robe, Kallista quickly made her way through the small courtyard and into the mall hall of the castle, her grip on the handle of her ornate rapier as she made her way to the first set of doors that led to stairs, Kallista's icy blue eyes focused on one of her servants that quickly approached her. Night had fallen and blanketed the kingdom in darkness giving way to those who wish to challenge the sovereignty of the kingdom she ruled over.

"Your Highness!" the servant called out to her as she began to descend from the top of the stairs.

"Is it them?" Kallista asked as she walked past the servant down the stairs, the servant followed after her.

"Y-Yes!" The servant said as they followed after her, they were clearly out of breath.

"Where is Lyudmila? Is Prince Sebastian safe?" Kallista questioned.

"Knight Commander Dontsova is handling the assailants that came through the courtyard. And yes Prince Sebastian is safe," they replied as they attempted to catch their breath as they followed.

"The main corridor?" Kallista questioned.

"Lady Natalie and Lord Jesse diverted most of them but I'm afraid some of them may have penetrated through and are on their way to the throne room. Your Highness-"

"Perfect. They need a kind reminder on who they wish to overthrow," Kallista said as she continued her stride towards the throne room.

"Your Highness, please-! At least have decency when you confront them-!" the servant pleaded with the woman as she continued on her way. The servant took off their cloak to give to the woman. Begrudgingly she took the cloak and draped it over her shoulders as she pushed the large wooden doors open to the throne room.

"Decency you say? The wild beasts will receive no decency from me when I am through with them, " Kallista hissed.

Kallista continued towards her throne quickly, she hastily pushed opened the doors to the throne room and made her way over to the two thrones that sat empty. Kallista glanced at the empty throne next to hers, the throne of the late king that was, in short, dragged into the depths of hell. Kallista held steady, her head high as she took her rightful seat on the throne. Within moments the throne room door was thrown open followed by a group of dark-clothed men, Kallista crossed her legs as she laid the ornately decorated rapier across her lap and turned her attention to the men.

"Gentlemen. If you wanted to request a meeting with me, surely it could have waited until morning," Kallista began.

"Cut the coy act woman. The king has been dead for far too long, we are here to give way to a new king," the leader of the men spoke up. Kallista narrowed her sharp blue eyes at the men and smiled.

"A new king you say? The people have already chosen who they wish to rule," Kallista replied.

"Bullshit! We know that you have tainted their minds with your dark magic, you are the reason why the late king has fallen!" Another one of the men shouted.

"Is that what they are telling you?" Kallista laughed.

"You mock us?" the larger bulkier man hissed as he stepped forward

"I believe the people have different views than what you believe. But I will say that you are very, very brave to attack my home that I built with my late husband, to wake my son, all because you believe I shouldn't be in power. To believe that a woman cannot rule," Kallista began, her tone light, airy.

"Such behavior will not be tolerated," Kallista said as she stood, the white cloak sliding from her shoulders.

"A public execution would have been better for you harlot, but if you wish for death we will gladly give you sweet release," the bulkier of the men chuckled as he brandished his sword.

"Tanis. Please prepare a bath for me and oh make sure the prince is still sleeping. If he's awake, please give him cinnamon milk, it'll help him sleep better," Kallista started.

"Y-yes your Highness," Tanis said as they hesitantly ran off

Kallista slipped off her dark sheer robe and stepped forward towards the men.

"Come. My husband is quite hungry," Kallista said as she looked at her rapier.

"You bitch!" the man swung his sword horizontally, Kallista easily avoided the blade aimed for her head and lunged forward her rapier piercing the man's heart with one simple movement. The other men watched in shock at how easily she subdued him, the man dropped his meat cleaver sword and crumbled to his knees. Kallista pulled her rapier from the man and began to brutally shred the man's abdomen, blood coating her form as she continued mercilessly.

With a short grunt, Kallista kicked the man back with her bare feet.

"Come," Kallista said as she flicked the blood from the rapier, inky obsidian tendrils began to slither around Kallista as she slowly approached the men. Some of the men stepped back, horrified at what was forming behind the woman.

A dark misty humanoid figure, crimson slits for eyes, slimy, inky black tentacles twisted, turned, jerked behind her.

"Alright, then. We’ll come to you," Kallista replied as she darted towards the nearest man stunned with horror.

It was no more than 15 minutes after Tanis had left from her side and when they rushed back into the throne room, what they saw confused them.

"Your Highness?" Tanis said as they watched the thick, inky like smoke surround Kallista. The smoke itself seemed to wrap itself gently around the woman's body as if it caressed her before it seemed to dissipate. Tanis' attention then focused on the tattered and soulless corpses and Knight Commander Dontsova entering into the throne room.

"Y-Your Highness, your bath awaits you in your chambers," Tanis began meekly, Kallista turned to face them, blood covered her entire form causing Tanis to jump back in shock.

"Thank you," Kallista said with a small smile before she turned and walked away.

"Oh and Tanis can you move my viewings to a later time, At the earliest, I will be awake at noon," Kallista called out to Tanis.

"Y-Yes of course!" Tanis replied as they watched Kallista leave the throne room wiping the rapier with a tattered piece of cloth.

Tanis turned their attention from the woman and to the bodies that were being dragged from the room.

"What the hell happened here?" Tanis said to themselves.

"Her Highness channels the magic surging through her body into the rapier you saw...they say that a demon lives within it devouring the souls of those who fall to the blade," one of the other servants said. Tanis turned their attention to the woman and young man holding a bucket.

"The souls and blood of those who challenge the royal family…" the female servant trailed off.

"But it could also be the ruthlessness of the queen herself. The only ones who would know, would be the late king, bless his soul and the Knight Commander," the male servant added.

"I...I see…" Tanis replied as they thought back to the black tendrils that gently caressed the woman before is dissipated.

Were those hands that gently caressed her cheeks and wiped away the blood of the fallen or a figment of their imagination?

Kallista sighed softly as she immersed herself in the steaming tub full of water, she had cleansed herself of the bloodshed just moments before and wanted nothing more just to enjoy the soak. The fight was nothing but the aftermath of it drained her.

He was hungry it took all of her strength to keep him bound to her. She already knew that the man was strong when he was a human, but his strength increased by tenfold in his new form.

"Mi Amor…" His voice was rich, honeyed different than the snarling, ghastly beast he was just a mere moment ago.

"Gabriel…" Kallista whispered as she leaned back into the porcelain tub, his hands ghosting over shoulders.

"Your body is weak….I apologize," Gabriel said in a hushed tone.

"It's not the first time," Kallista replied softly.

"Shh…" Gabriel hushed her as his hands worked their magic on her shoulders, working out the tension.

"They are increasingly growing bold...the people will only tolerate them for a little bit longer before I am forced to deal with them,"Kallista sighed.

"I believe in whatever you decide to do with them. You are our queen," Gabriel replied.

"Of course…" Kallista trailed off a soft moaned slipping past her lips as she felt the man's hand slip into the water gently kneading her breast.

"You are out mighty queen, you speak and they follow without question. They believe in you as I believe in you," Gabriel voice husky, deep along her ear as he shifted around the tub, his hand traveling from her breast deeper into the water.

"Gabriel you have too much belief in me…," Kallista sighed.

"No. I have just the right amount. I chose you to be my queen because I believed you would be able to reign when I cannot...and you have not proven me wrong," Gabriel replied.

"Gabe-" Kallista began when she lost her words in her throat, only a moan slipped from her lips.

Gabriel used his free hand to tilt her head up and sealed their lips together in a desperate kiss. The kiss drowned the gasps and moans that would have echoed in the room alerting those around the room to his presence.

Not yet.

They didn't need to know what became of their beloved king and the demon that he had become. No, not yet.

His fingers continued to work her, breaking her down piece by piece, into putty for him to build her into whatever he wanted.

"Mmm Gabe-" Kallista panted against his lips.

"Si, mi reina," his voice gravelly with an edge all to drive her mad with need. Her soft moaned and mewls stirred a forgotten warmth inside of him, it reminded him of what he used to be, the king that used to reign, the man that satisfied every need of his kingdom, his people, his family, his wife. Everything. It was all taken away from him when he died four years ago.

There were times where he felt regret for what she had done to bring him back, bounding her soul to what was left of his cursed soul. Bounding them together until she perished, summoning him drained her, weakening her to where she would sleep for days and even now he knew that she would be exhausted for the day to come. Her soft cry for him tore him from his dismal thoughts of regrets, she loved him, demon or not.

"Kallista my love…" his words were soft, strained just shy of a snarl. Kallista arched her back as her cries became increasingly louder. Gabriel silently narrowed his crimson eyes as he watched intensely at her face twisted in pleasure.

"Gabriel-! Please, I-!" Kallista choked as she gripped at the man's dark clothes just shy of her nails ripping the silky material.

"More...give me more...Kallista...come for me…"Gabriel growled as he continued. He remembered her weaknesses, what broke her down what made her body quiver and wither underneath him.

"Come for me," Gabriel snarled. Kallista arched her back as she gripped at the man's shirt as she came undone. With a growl Gabriel took her lips and drowned out her cry as she came for him, the man groaned deeply as he broke the kiss, a trail of saliva hanging from their lips as they gazed into each other's eyes.

"I love you Kallista," Gabriel whispered.

"I love you too Gabriel," Kallista sighed softly.

"Will you stay with me...tonight?" Kallista questioned, her tone meek. He couldn't resist, how could he when he had longed so much to be with her day and night.

"Your wish is my command," Gabriel replied as he placed a kiss on the top of her forehead before he moved. He withdrew his hand from the now warm water and grabbed a towel for her. He gently took her hand, helping her from the tub. Within minutes they were tangled in each other's arms, reminiscing of memories held close to their hearts.

"My queen allow me this night to be one with you after all of these years...if you will have me," Gabriel whispered against her lips.

"My body may not be the same...but my love...my need for you has not wavered," Gabriel whispered as he ground his hips against her naked sex.

"I love you Gabriel...no matter the demon that's inside of you...you are my king and nothing will break that bond," Kallista replied as she gently caressed his jaw.

The moonlight and the low fire illuminated the large bedroom, just enough for them to make out each other's features.

"Then allow me this Kallista...my queen...allow me this night to be with you once again...after all of these years," Gabriel's voice barely audible, short of a growl. He knew that she would allow him anything without asking, but he needed to make sure. He needed to make sure that she wanted him, wanted the demon he had become.

"Yes...for you, my king," Kallista whispered before she sealed their lips together pushing any doubts that man had, any doubts of her denying him of the love he was starved of.

The man groaned in appreciation, she knew that he needed and would gladly give it to him. She gave him anything he wanted as he gave her anything she wanted.

"I can't...promise...I'll be gentle," Gabriel groaned his cock brushing against her heated sex, her essence coating him, she was more than ready for him. Kallista moaned as she ground her hips against the roll of his, it had been too long since she had felt the man's touch in more ways than one. Her body responded to his every touch, moan, whisper, stroking the fire within her core that threatened to consume her if he didn't touch her. It had been so long since she'd seen him, the love of her life ripped away in front of her, a part of her being ripped away.

"Gabriel...I need you," Kallista whimpered.

"As I need you," Gabriel's voice rough, raspy, he was shifting.

The fire in the room burned low no longer illuminating the room, the heavy draperies dimmed the sliver of moonlight that slipped between them coating the two lovers in darkness.

Kallista gasped softly as she felt the subtle changes to the man hovering above her, his large callused hands were now cool to the touch, his blunt nails now talon like as they gently raked down her hips and cupped underneath her knee spreading her legs wider for him. His normally kept hair was long as she felt the silky strands tease her breast. A small mewl escaped from between her lips as their skin touched, one warm and full of life and the other cool. She knew that the man wasn't going to give her the opportunity to see him in such a state, he was ashamed of what he had become. He didn't want her to see the monster that was once her beloved husband.

"Gabriel… Please…"

With a growl, he roughly grasped her wrists pinning them above her head as his other hand stilled her hips, his restraint over his form deteriorated much quicker than he would have wanted but he was needy. It didn't take him long before he was completely buried inside of her, a growl rumbled deep in his chest as a gasp shot from between her lips as she instinctively tightened her legs around the man's waist. It took him even less time to move, slow, powerful hesitant thrusts.

"Gabriel. ..don't hold back," Kallista panted as she lifted her hips giving the man a clear sign of what she wanted.

Gabriel snarled as he placed her legs over his shoulders, his hands gripped her waist, his talons digging into her skin sure to leave marks by the morning. Her hands still pinned by a cold inky tendril, A force that Kallista hed felt more than once when the man was brutally gutting and draining those who wished to threaten his kingdom that he built and left for his family.

"Your...wish...is my command," Gabriel replied his voice husky, raspy, with an otherworld edge that sent shivers through her body. Kallista cried out at the sudden change in the man's pace the strength behind each of his thrusts.

Kallista's cries echoed in the bedroom as Gabriel's grunts were loud and animalistic as he buried himself in her with no mercy. His claw-like talons dug into her skin, his sharp fangs nipping hungrily at her skin, leaving marks as he fucked her through her second orgasm.

"Please," she gasps. "Harder. More."

He couldn't deny her, no matter how much he knew she would be more than exhausted when morning came but he couldn't stop, her moans and cries pushed him further, his need for her drove him mad as he fucked her harder, faster bringing her to completion once again. Kallista sobbed another orgasm ravaged her body, the squeeze of her tight walls, pulsing around him, forcing him closer and closer to his end.

His thrusts ragged, his grunts more strained, his grip on her hips harder. His now crimson eyes focused on her half-lidded crystal blue eyes, gazing into her soul and how much she yearned for him. He pulled out only to push back into her savagely, setting their pace anew with little mercy. Another shrill cry escaped from Kallista's lips, he growled an inhuman sound reverberating through her entire form. The exquisitely overwhelming feeling of his cock filling her over and over again is so, so good but it's not enough. Her hands no longer bound by one of the man's shadowy tendrils, she clung to him, her hands sought out his form, her nails raked down his back as he went for the tender skin of her neck and lapped at the small beads of blood that gathered.

"Gabriel - -! Please!" Kallista cried as she came again. Another beastly snarl as his hips still snapped against her own, paying not a single ounce of attention to the squelch of her sex or the slap of their skin as he continued on in his bruising pace, fucking her like a starved beast.

"Oh god-!" Kallista cried out

"There is no God here Kallista. Only me," the beast of the man snarled as he continued to chase his release.

Gabriel snarled into her neck as he hovered over her, rutting into her deep, hard, relentless. In a shrill cry, Kallista collapsed to the bed, her back arched as another orgasm racked her body, with a beastly roar of his own Gabriel came, thick heavy spurts filled her, his talons digging into her soft flesh drawing blood as he pushed himself as far as he could go, her velvet walls squeezing ever so tightly around him.

The air thick with sex and charged with an unknown energy surrounded the two as they caught their breath.

"Kallista… forgive me,"Gabriel whispered as he lowered her legs from his shoulders as hesitantly pulling himself from her. His body back to that as a human as he maneuvered her into a more comfortable position

"I missed it…I missed you, "Kallista replied breathlessly as she reached for the man. He gently took her hand and placed a kiss on the inside of her palm and then another kiss onto her wedding ring.

"Even now, you never cease to amaze me," Gabriel chuckled.

"I know...when...will you let me see you?" Kallista questioned.

"Not yet...but I promise," Gabriel replied.

"I hope you keep your word...Gabriel," Kallista sighed, her body exhausted from the large amounts of energy exerted through the night.

"Rest...you need it," Gabriel said quietly

Quietly the two tangled themselves with one another as they whispered sweet nothings and loving memories to one another as the sun rose, only then did slip into slumber.

It wasn't until hours later did someone attempt to disturb her.

"Your Highness?" Tanis called out meekly as they poked their head into the darkened chamber. They were greeted with silence. Carefully maneuvering the tray of her morning tea and fruits, they placed the tray on the small table near the french doors of the room and began to move the heavy draperies to allow more sunlight into the room.

"Leave them,"

Tanis froze at the sound of the voice that came from the darkness that coated the large bed, a voice they hadn't heard in years but it was clear as day. Carefully Tanis turned to look over their shoulder and towards the bed. They were greeted by glowing red eyes from the bed, a choked gasp escaped Tanis' throat as the two crimson eyes held their gaze.

"Leave her until the afternoon, like she asked,"

"Y-Your Majesty?" Tanis asked softly.

Gabriel grunted in response.

"B-But you're…dead. H-how," Tanis began as their eyes began to adjust to the darkness of the room, to the nude figure that laid stretched out next to the smaller figure

"These are questions that may be answered at a later time. Now, Tanis, You wouldn't want to wake the queen, would you?" Gabriel repeated

"Of course not. I-I'll leave right away," Tanis replied as they gathered themselves and quickly exited the chamber, closing the door softly behind them.

"You practically scared them half to death," Kallista whispered.

"Good," Gabriel chuckled.

Six Steps to Death - A late Halloween Special

Based off of @auideas prompt here and also a recently played game called “The Path” which is a really good simple kinda psychological horror type game?

Kallista Kaines x Monster?Gabriel Reyes

There were six steps on your way to death’s arms once you left the safety of the path, they said to stay on the path, don’t venture off on your own, that was an unwritten law of the forest, the demon-infested forest that engulfed the small island of Gibraltar, and where Kallista found herself.

Abandoned in the middle of the dark, misty forest teaming with the unknown and secrets of many centuries passed. Kallista wasn’t a stranger to the forest, she knew about it and passed through it daily on her personal errands. Only this time she wasn’t on the safety of the path, she didn’t have the light posts to guide her if she had to do late errands.

No. She was in the thick of it.

Kallista silently cursed to herself as she sat up holding her head in pain. She must have been rushed from behind and must have been dropped off here for a reason that eluded her. She pulled her wool cloak closer to her frame as she took a moment to survey her surroundings before moving. There was still light, the forest itself seemed to be awake as the crickets sang their song and the birds called out. At a first glance, the forest seemed normal, but everyone knew that there was something living in the shadows.

Paired with the thought of something living and preying on the people that strayed from the path, it was still a forest. As a child, she had gotten lost in the deep lush green forests of England to many times to count and hopefully, this would be similar. After getting lost numerous times she learned to take note of the small things, used the stars to guide her, she used what she had learned to her advantage.

Kallista stood as quietly as she could, and scanned her body to make sure she didn’t sustain any additional injuries from what had attacked her. Her clothing was intact, her pouch around her waist was there as well, she was ok for the most part but the slight pain in the back of her head. After a moment, Kallista decided to not to spend a moment longer and began to make her way into spending a moment longer on checking herself she began to make her way into the into the unknown of the forest.

As Kallista moved through the forest she occasionally glanced up at the sky but found it blocked by the large limbs of the trees that seemed to purposely block the sky from view. The dark green foliage did nothing but to cover every possible crack of the sky that could slip through. She couldn’t use the stars to guide herself and she knew as she continued to traverse the forest her chances of finding the path was becoming slim.

She’s here…

Wait…she doesn’t

We have to tell him!

She’s here….she’s here

Kallista stopped in her tracks and quickly circled around as she looked for the source of the voices and found none. Kallista took one more look around before and gripped her cloak tighter to her body as she continued in the forest, her step much quicker than before.

The first step was the whispers, it was always the worst. Soft, loud, raspy whispers, they were constant some were coherent others weren’t, whispers of what was to come, whispers of how delicious you would taste.

It was the first sign of death approaching.

She had heard all of the stories about the Gibraltar forest and the creature that created the legend. She didn’t know about the tales of people being split apart, limbs being ripped off by creatures of the darkness and of course people being devoured while alive, but she also knew thinking about the stories that weren't going to help her current situation. She needed to keep her mind clear and focused on escaping the forest before death found her.

Sacrifice…

Girl…

It’s time...

She continued on ignoring the whispers that seemed to circle her, they followed her as she moved, turned in different directions, they were attached to her. In an attempt to make sure she didn’t cross the same path twice she marked trees, she needed to make sure she was using her surroundings to the best of her abilities.

Kallista continued on for what seemed like forever, her legs were heavy, her throat dry, she was losing strength. The pain in the back of her head did nothing but drain her more, if she were to stop there was no clear sign of her making her way back to the path.

But she did stop.

Kallista stopped suddenly, her legs shook as she stared at the gigantic dark figure with an ivory owl-like mask that stood a few feet from her. The gigantic figure’ s form was like the void itself. The blackest black,  obsidian,  nothing. The figure itself emitted no light, it only seemed to devour the light, the life from the foliage around it.

The forest that was once alive was eerily silent as the figure studied her.

Kallista’s mouth opened slightly as she stood frozen with fear, the gigantic humanoid like figure seemed to shudder before exploding into smoke and left Kallista alone.

“Fuck…” Kallista said as she looked over her shoulder expecting the figure to be behind her but there was nothing. The forest was still eerily silent as if all life stopped. Kallista’s head quickly turned to her side as she saw something move from the corner of her eye.

Again she turned to the side and nothing.

The second step was the shadows. The shadows played games with you as if they were being controlled to disorientate you. You were now their target, their prey.

It was the second sign of death approaching.

Kallista shook her head in an attempt to focus, ignoring the pain in the back of her head. She had to continue moving, she knew that time was running out along with what little sunlight penetrated the thick foliage.

She didn’t want to admit that the creature of the forest was wearing on her nerves, she didn’t want to admit that the quickening of her heartbeat, the thought of being devoured was creeping ever closer. 

She’s scared…

Fear...is delicious…

Feed…

She didn’t want to think about dying.

“No. I have time,” Kallista said to herself as she began again, moving faster through the forest and towards the little light that seemed to come from the back of the forest. Nervously she bit down on her lip to keep herself focused and to not scream and cry out. She knew that no one would come looking for her. Paranoia was slowly making its way from the chilling creeping feeling from her spine and wrapped its claws around her mind. She looked over her shoulder after every step she took, her heart hammered in her chest, her legs burned and seemed as if they were going to give out at any minute.

Time was against her.

Faster. You have to move faster, you have to find the path, her mind screamed at her. The path was her saving grace if she were to make it back to the path she would be safe.

No.

The stench of decayed, rotten flesh assaulted her senses her hand went to her mouth in an attempt to quell nausea the aroma caused. Without warning, her legs gave out, and collapsed to her knees, choking, gagging as the aroma overwhelmed her. The aroma surrounded her forcing her to vomit the contents of her stomach. Her throat burned, her chest heaved, tears threatened to fall as fear started to sink in.

“No!” Kallista screamed as she clenched her fists. She attempted to calm herself despite the disgusting scent that lingered in the air.

It was too soon.

All of this.

The third step was the awful stench of the decaying and rotten flesh. The flesh of those who had been captured and devoured. It was meant to slow you down, a solemn reminder that you too were going to succumb to the forest and the creature within it.  Mind, body, and soul all devoured, bones discarded, no trace of who you once were.

The third sign of death approaching.

Kallista grimaced as she stood, her crystal blue eyes locking onto the crimson ones that stared back at her from the shadows. She knew it was the creature, she knew that the creature was waiting to strike.

Everything was leading to that one point.

The fourth step was the gaze, it froze you in place. To let you know that it has locked onto you. You were no longer the target of the darkness. You were its target.

The fourth sign of death approaching.

She was losing time and fast. Soon she would be caught with no way to escape, Kallista quickly stood and began running. She didn’t know where she was going, her sense of direction thrown off by the crimson orbs seared into her mind as she ran.

She couldn’t give up, she just couldn’t.

Kallista ran towards the dim light that remained in the forest, hoping that would be her guiding light through the hellish forest and the demon-like creature that stalked her from the shadows.

It couldn’t end like this, she hoped that this was some sick joke and that she would come face to face with one of her friends and that she would be safe and-

She collided with an unseen force and fell back ripping her cloak from her frame, she looked up at the tall and fairly bulky man that stood in front of her unfazed by the collision. The unknown man was dressed in darkest black clothing, the light around him seemed as if it was being drained, the foliage he stepped on was dead while the foliage a little bit away from him was full of life. Kallista quickly scanned the man and noticed that he held the same ivory owl-like mask in his taloned-hand. Only then did Kallista face the man directly, his eyes a were a vibrant crimson as he looked down at her, his features void of any emotion.

It was the thing that stalked from the shadows.

The fifth step was the creature showing itself to you, a signal of the end. A signal of its grasp around your mind, body and soul.  There was no escape. It was coming for you and there was no escape.

The fifth sign of death approaching.

“Run,”

Kallista looked at the man in shock as he continued to stare down at her, void of emotion. Kallista quickly stood and stepped back from the man.  The simple word sent a frightening shiver down her spine as she cautiously took another step back.

“Make me work for my promised meal,” the man said as ebony inky tendrils began to sprout from his back.

The final step was a game. It was all a game to the creature...and now it followed you, hunted you until you couldn’t continue until you couldn’t hide. You were in its sights and there was no escaping.

Death has come.

Kallista turned on her heel and darted back into the blackness of the forest. Her heart hammered in her chest, the sound of her blood rushing through her veins drowned out everything around her and soon gave way to ringing.

She had to run.

Her life depended on her flight instincts, the burning in her chest, the constant ringing in her ears was a clear sign that she had lost control of everything and it was spiraling towards her death of being devoured.

“Yes…” the man said as he took a calm step forward after Kallista. She had been marked as his prey and there was no way to sway him.

Kallista tumbled to the ground, cutting her forearm open as she fell. A painful yelp escaped her lips as she quickly stood, a sharp pain in her ankle as she placed weight on it, she cried out in agony.

The little lamb...injured…

Despite the pain, Kallista hobbled away from the man that calmly walked towards her, adrenaline-fueled the woman as she continued. Kallista bit down on her bottom lip to stifle her cries of pain, the blood gushed down her forearm as she hobbled towards what looked like a clearing.

Was it the path?

Her saving grace...only to be ripped away.

A biting chill invaded her mind and body as something cold, slimy wrapped itself around her waist and forcibly yanked back against an immovable, cold force, the man’s chest. Kallista struggled and screamed against the man’s grasp until he dropped her.

“N-No! P-Please!” Kallista cried out as she attempted to crawl away from the man. The man chuckled deeply from behind her as he watched her, amused by her attempt to escape.

“What’s wrong Kallista...you were so adamant about escaping...what happened to that headstrong woman I saw years ago?” the man chuckled. Kallista felt something grasp her ankle and pull her back towards the man.

“No-!” Kallista cried out.

“There’s no use in running from me...I have your scent...a taste for you...and only you. You were promised to me,” the man replied.

“P-please no! I don’t know--” Kallista pleaded

The man snarled, canines bared, his face contorted in anger, as he looked down at the frightened woman.

“No...I will not have this,” the man said as his large taloned tipped hand wrapped itself around her neck.

Kallista’s hands went to his hand in an attempt to stop him knowing that it was futile, the cold bite of his hand around her neck tightening, constricting her breaths. Kallista’s vision began to fade slowly as she looked at the man strangling the life from her.

The stoic look, the deep crimson eyes that bore into her soul and watched her strength slip away, her breaths and life fading.  One by one the inky tendrils attached themselves to Kallista’s limbs coating her in the black inky substance of the man itself.  

“It is better this way…” the man said as he held firm with his grasp.

“I used to be human once...like you...we’ve met several times as well I thought seeing me might make things a little bit easier…” the man started.

“Ple..ase...N--no...Gabriel...” Kallista choked out. “Shhh...don’t worry...I will gladly welcome you in death...Kallista…”
