“You’re so fucking delusional.” Her eyes widen, “sacrificing me will just cause you more pain. I’m inside you now. The Illuminati are nothing but a group of deranged fuckers that pray to something that doesn’t exist!”
“You don’t know how right you are.” I tell her.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Tempest
My shoulders are screaming in pain and Sky is refusing to talk. She just hangs there and looks at the floor in utter defeat. This isn’t like her and I’m suddenly hit with how hard she fought me about coming here.
“You knew.” I say to her.
She just blinks at the sound of my voice but her eyes don’t move from the dirty cement floor.
“You fought the whole way, at the club before the choosing, on the way here, and then now you’ve just given up.” I try to kick at her with my foot. “You knew about all this.”
“So what?” Her voice cracks. “We just saw them kill that woman up there.”
“You knew they killed people!” I yell at her. “Why didn’t you say anything?”
“Would you have believed me?” Finally, her eyes meet mine and they’re red rimmed orbs of pain. “I tried to escape it once, I knew I wouldn’t be able to again.”
“How did you find out what they do here?” I ask her.
“Hail chose my aunt ten years ago and she never returned. I Googled them and I went to a reunion concert of theirs. I saw the pentagrams and the blood sacrifices on stage. Fucking devil worshipers.”
Fuck.
We’re dead.
I thought maybe I could get through to Raiden, maybe use our connection to make him see it’s not worth killing us.
“Raiden is their leader.” Sky continues. “His birthday is celebrated with a black mass. But the days leading up to it, they party and choose one person to sacrifice for their church. This year must be big since they’re sacrificing four of us. It’s like their ascension.”
“Ascension sounds really Christian.” I point out. “Wouldn’t they want to descend…. to Hell?”
“No, not like ascending to heaven, but rising above the natural human needs and emotions, things that bind them to the earth. Then they can concentrate on procuring every success.”
“Fucked up bullshit.” I snarl.
“I’m worried about my mom,” she drops her head again. “She was devastated after her sister and now I’m not going to return.”
“Stop.” I try to kick at her again. “We’re getting out of here.”
“Touching,” Torrent is leaning against the doorway. “You two really are two of the stupidest broads.”
“Fuck you. Where’s Raiden? Why did he kill that woman?” I ask him a flurry of questions.
“Fuck you too, he’s coming soon, and that woman was a part of the church Sky was telling you about.” He ticks each answer off his fingers.
“You really are Illuminati and Satan worshipers.” I mutter. “So why kill her?”
“Worshipers? No. We worship ourselves, but they showed us the way and now they’ll die for it. They took just as much advantage of us as the Catholics did.”
I don’t bother to engage with him anymore, out of all the guys, he seems the most twisted. He gang banged his fucking chosen for fucksakes.
He looks down at my open robe and grins.
“He’s marked you.”
