“What the hell?” I turn to Legend. “Was I the only person who didn’t get the memo we were playing Addams Family?!” I hiss. “I don’t even own clothes for—” I gesture to the area. “—this!”??
“For what?” he asks, and his lips touch the nape of my neck.??
I shiver, my eyes closing briefly. “For this!”
“Open your eyes and tell me what you see….”??
I’m annoyed that he’s being Legend, but I open my eyes anyway, and my blood turns cold, the room spinning on its axis until it’s hanging upside down.
The floor that was once painted with white patterns over glossy wood, is now licked with red. The walls are black, but the edges at the top are leaking some sort of inky liquid. Knight has a red-haired girl in the grip of his hand, his nails sinking into her neck as his lips are locked on her shoulder. Her naked body is pressed against his partially naked form, and I can feel vomit rolling up the inside of my throat.??
His other hand meets her nipple, and he pinches hard, before forcing her body back to face him and taking her mouth with his. He picks her up by her throat, slamming her down onto one of the rectangular tables so hard the food that’s lined over it splatters. The people around him are all having some form of sex, and the fog that swims around their feet smells like death.??
Even though I hate it—I can’t help but watch. I want to die. It feels like a knife slicing me over and over again until I’m nothing but bare wounds and raw meat.???
Knight spreads her legs so wide, I can see her pussy from here. Open and weeping, dripping with cum. Before I can blink, he drops to his knees in front of her and covers her with his mouth. His tongue is clearly working her into a tiss, as his jaw jerks with every stroke.??
Her back arches and her hands fly out to her sides, desperate to grab on to anything to help. When her rapid breathing slows after her orgasm, she goes limp, and when Knight pries his face from between her legs, blood covers his skin and the tip of her cervix hangs from between his fangs. He bit and tore it from her body.??
A scream tears out of my throat as I stumble backwards, but that scream merges with laughter, and when I try to turn and run, I’m met with a brick wall and no Legend.??
Tears streak my cheeks, and I don’t give a fuck if I look crazy—that shit is fucked!??
Classical music starts playing again and my panting breath levels as the ambient lighting changes from that dark musty color to a lighter shade. One that reminded me of the original ballroom scene.??
More laughter sounds from behind me and then Sinner rounds my body, a satisfied smirk on his lips.??
The room spins once again, now upright and utterly ... normal. Well, the Gifted version.
I grind my teeth, annoyed that this fucking asshole got me again. Before I turn, I carefully dry my eyes so no one will know, but when I shift my arm, what I’m wearing catches my eye. Black straps cross over my torso and barely cover my nipples, leaving ample cleavage and side-boob as the bottom of my gown sprays out into a waterfall of gothic lace. There’s a split on the side that goes all the way up to my hip, exposing my lack of underwear, and I touch the ends of my long, white hair to feel it straightened into a sleek board.??
I hate you, Legend, but also thank you. Pervert.??
Slowly, I turn, straightening my shoulders and pushing away everything that just happened moments ago.??
It’s showtime, and if anyone is dying in this movie, it’s Knight. And maybe his wannabe bitches.
Ten
Knight??
The hairson the back of my neck spike, letting me know she's finally arrived. Not that I was waiting.My fist tightens around my glass.??
I still can’t believe after publicly renouncing London, I’m forced to play this game. Finding a Queen in the four chosen was bound to be a nightmare and not the fun kind, but deciding on a Queen amongst them when the one who was created to be her is within reach? So fucking close I can literally smell the maddening scent of her flesh??
I shake my head.
Why is she sweating???
Is she hot???
Instantly, I look to the far-left corner of the ballroom where the fire fairy swings high in the air, each sway of her legs fanning the flame that frames the crown.?I should tell London to move closer so she can feel the energy it bestows on the chosen—
What the fuck???
My brows crash in the center and I down what’s left of my drink, staring into the bottom of the empty glass and wishing I had the power to snap my fingers and find it full once more.??
I could snap, and the staff zip in and do exactly that as quickly as I can blink, but what a gift it would be to be able to do it on my own.??
