It looks like a star from my view and when he’s done, he runs his fingers through my blood, painting my skin further. It’s like the sight of red has him losing control and he thrusts into me a few more times before screaming my name.
The room is quiet and Raiden pulls out of me, pulling his pants up. He has my blood on his hands and droplets on his lower stomach. I sit up and hiss at the stinging of the newest mark he’s given me. I try to pull my shirt together to give me some semblance of decency but it’s refusing to cooperate.
“Almost two, brother.” Torrent says to Raiden, his eyes never straying from my carved skin.
“Get them all out.” Raiden grounds out and yanks me off the table. “Go clean up.”
He pushes me towards the door and I do a sweep of the room, looking for Sky. I find her wrapped around Hail, her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, they don’t look to be leaving. I get a familiar burn of acid up my throat as my heart slams in fear, she can’t stay here.
“Sky!” I call out and Raiden turns abruptly grabbing me by the arm.
“Go and clean yourself up.” His spit flies into my face and my eyes widen in fear.
He shoves me out of the room and closes the large double doors in my face. That’s when I come face to face with a scary looking woman. She has a grey sallow face, her skin loose against her skull, and her teeth a dark yellow. She’s grinning at me and staring at the blood flowing from my current wound. I hurry away from her and the look on her ugly face.
There’s something wrong here and I don’t think any girl leaves this place of their own free will. I rush to my room, throw my scraps of clothing on the floor, and rush into the bathroom. I grab the terry towel bathrobe and scream when I see my reflection in the mirror.
It’s not a star carved into my skin, it’s an upside-down pentagram and I know exactly what that means. This heavy metal band are actual devil worshipers and I would bet anything that each of their chosen girls are sacrifices for some ritual. Fuck, I hope I’m wrong but I won’t take the risk with Sky.
I’m about to run out of the room when an object sitting on the bedside table catches my eye, I rush over to it, and hold it up, the cyclone etched on its side making complete sense.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Raiden
She knows.
I could see it in her eyes when she frantically searched for her friend. I close my eyes and lean back in my seat, waiting for Hail to get this started. I feel anxious like we have to do it quickly.
“This place is in utter chaos.” Magistra Karen says with glee.
"Is this where you kill me?" Sky's words have my eyes flying open.
"What?" Hail chuckles.
"This is what happened with the previous two, your chosen." She has no fear on her face whatsoever, more like acceptance.
"I told you..."
"Do what you have to do." She cuts Hail off, "but know that Tempest is smart and she knows I would never leave without her."
Tempest is smart and I think she knew from the very first sacrifice but she feels the same thing I do when we come together.
"Why me?" She asks him quietly.
Hail stands behind her and drops his forehead to her shoulder. I can fucking hear his heartbreak from here.
"Because you stand for everything I used to believe in. You represent my inner hope and as long as you're alive, I will never fully ascend." Hail's voice sounds pained.
“That’s why I chose you for him.” Magistra Karen chuckles, “you are holding one of our soldiers captive.”
I know exactly how Hail is feeling and come tomorrow night, I will be the fucking same. He whispers something in her ear and her eyes widen as he pulls out his knife. I close my eyes, waiting for the moment I get to sink my blade into Karen and the bliss that comes with each sacrifice, but then my ears are assaulted with an unnatural screeching.
"Get away from her, motherfucker!" My demon flies across the room with the very blade I had given her, the one I had hoped she would eventually turn on me.
Hail is slow to react, since he was also lost in our sacrificial moment, and my demon's blade sinks into his shoulder as he staggers back with a yell.
The rest of us jump to our feet as Hail stumbles to his knees and Tempest wraps her arms around Sky.
