Rays of red…not orange…but crimson red.
My eyes further opened just to take in the burning chaos, as ringing sirens could be heard in the distance, along with hollow screams and cries for help.
The sight was absolutely horrifying. The city was in flames while the water from the lake was completely absent - revealing everything that had been hidden at the bottom depths for who knew how long.
“He’ll be back,” Loki whispered, but his voice didn’t hold an ounce of misery. “This is the Eve of Forbidden consequences, and the Vatican is about to feel the heat all thanks to their actions and what they tried to steal from us.”
I should have felt pity, or a shred of sadness, but I looked up to Loki’s face as he stared further with a heartless expression, and as sickening as I would have once thought it could be in a situation like this, I didn’t stop my lips from curling upward.
I smiled because this was only the beginning of our wrath.
Using the last bit of my strength, I lifted my hand to lightly reach the side of his neck, drawing his attention back to me so our eyes could lock in an intense gaze.
“I…want…them…to…” I struggled to continue. My throat hurt so fucking bad, but he understood what I wanted.
“Burn,” he finished and matched my cynical smile with his own. “We’ve been too kind. All of the others are too soft for this tainted world. We need to put them all in their place. Show that we’re far more dangerous in comparison to all of them. They’ll all burn. One by one. It’ll be a blood bath of the decade until the dawn of the new year. Then…we’ll show them how wicked we all can be. Our pack of fucking sinners. A ripened bowl of forbidden fruit. Let this Eve be the beginning of the madness. Right, Forbidden Queen?”
“Yes…my king.” One of my Forbidden Kings.
He couldn’t be more on point. We’d been far too soft, too fucking kind when the world had let me suffer my entire life all so I could be an outcast.
Now they were trying to take what I’d earned? What I deserved. My friends, my family, my men, and even my life? I was done with this foolishness. It was time to cloak the streets with blood.
The blood of all the sacrificial lambs that would be lost in our wrath.
Such a conclusion was enough to let me fall into the arms of slumber now that our resolve was set in stone.
Christmas Eve was the start of everything…
The beginning of our fateful domination.
