Poison Orchid

Chapter 27

The same sucking feeling of getting sucked inside a tunnel which was hazy and it slowed down until he came to his feet to drop on the same floor of the room. This time the décor was a bit different than the previous time. The chandelier which was hanging had bulbs in them instead of candles like the previous time and the paintings were uncovered. There was one more circle with a burnt mark inside it other than the one which Gabriel had been in for the last time.

A house of Horrors where girls were brought being lured into marriage where they were used to breed demons and then they disappeared. And no one came to know about the incidents… How was this humanely possible?

Gabriel was really not ready to witness another murder and that too in such a horrific manner. And he was really interested in finishing the conversation with Marilyn’s ghost in that room because he was sure that she could have given him some information which would have helped him out with working out the mystery in the death of the girls. Again steps on the stairs made him find out his hiding place. This time the girl who arrived holding the hand of his father was a bit older than the previous one but he was sure that this one too had not crossed the legal age.

This one was even more prettier than the last girl he had seen. Sariel was a sick pervert definitely but when it came to choosing women for bedding his choices were impeccable.The girl was wearing a plunge neckline gown in pale pink and her blonde hair was pinned up with pearls in a complex knot leaving a few tendrils hanging over her face. The girl was not the giggling types and was afraid of where she was being taken and her fear pertinently displayed in her eyes.

“Are you still afraid my darling?” asked Sariel in sugary voice.

“Actually a bit, my lord. My mother said that it was good to have fear in your heart so that it controls what comes out of your lips,” said the girl in pink.

“I revere your mother and no doubt she has said it correctly but Tricia, what is there to be afraid of from your husband? I am not gonna hurt you right?” asked Sariel again.

Gabriel felt that it was the same scene in which the spider traps the butterfly in its web and then strangles it slowly to kill it.

“No my lord. How can I even contemplate such a thing? You have been nothing but a gentleman since the day we met. I was really afraid that how would you be since you already have lost your first wife but then it did not take long for me to understand that you needed love,” said Tricia looking up at Sariel.

“I also had never thought that you were going to understand me in such a way dear wife. I never thought that I could fall in love with such a sweet girl once again but life has been kind upon me. I did not get the first chance to be happy but I am sure I shall be this time. My wife was a gift from Gods, but I could not retain back her or my son. But you won’t let that happen isn’t it? You shall bear me a son,” said Sariel slowly pulling her to the spot where she was supposed to stand at the tip of the pentagram.

“Of course, Sir. It is my duty to bear your child and I pray that our first born is a son,” replied Tricia like a good wife is supposed to.

Gabriel was not sure that how can his father say such lies about his own life and family and then dupe girls for what? For breeding demons.

“We have a ritual which every new bride is supposed to do on her wedding night in our family. So are you ready for that?” asked Sariel in a playful tone but with a cruel and sadistic look in her eyes.

“Why not, my lord? I am ready for anything that you say,” answered Tricia.

“Then take this key and mark a circle around the place where you are standing now, “ said Sariel handing over the key to her.

The rest of the scene for the next few minutes was a repetition of the previous time which Gabriel had witnessed. The chants stopped and from the centre of the pentagon rose the same demon who had arose the last time but unlike the last time Tricia did not scream out of terror or shout and do other things which Marilyn had done.

As the demon licked his lips looking at her she asked, “Am I going to die?”

Sariel answered,” It is my master’s choice that if you will live or not but before that you have to bear our master’s son and after that your child will decide if you are fit enough to suckle him or not.”

Tricia seemed to know that if she was to endure this then she must be doing it with lot less suffering. So without giving any of them any chance to say anything, she started undressing revealing bits and parts of her skin some at a time. Her stripping did not affect Sariel but the demon in front was drooling at the vision of the soft and supple pink flesh.

“Can I get some help with my corsets please?” asked Tricia in a shy voice, as if afraid to ask for help.

The next moment she was on her back sprawling with her legs apart and the demon entering her with brutality and the girl whimpering in pain. While f*****g the girl the demon ripped of the tight corset and gobbled up the white globes of flesh with its ripped tongue.

After sometime Tricia’s stomach blew up with the child of the demon who had f****d her. She held her stomach tightly and spread open her legs wide enough letting the child get out of her vaginal canal. This one was even uglier than the last one and suddenly black coloured liquid started spewing from Tricia’s n*****s which the demon child crawled up and started sucking. The demon and Sariel who watched the whole thing unfold in front of them made the demon say,” This one has proved herself worthy to enter my realm. I shall take her for the sake of my son and she will pleasure me when I need.”

Gabriel was watching Tricia take up that ugly red skinned fork tailed and horned child in her arms and coo to him. Gabriel was astonished at the scene which unfolded before him and thought nothing more could have been apt for Stockholm’s Syndrome. She was singing to the child who was clawing at her breasts and taking out blood and the child demon was tasting and suckling the liquid and the blood at the same time. It was disgusting and gross at the same time.

This scene also was closed even before it could end and not to mention Petrov was the culprit this time too. A splash of water on his face pulled Gabriel back to present.

“Would you care to tell me that even after you promised why did you come here down alone?” said Petrov in a annoyed tone when Gabriel opened his eyes.

“ I understand that you have the right to care about me but also know this Petrov that if I am coming down here multiple times then I am trying to find something out and you are not allowing me to finish it every goddamned single time. Why do you think that I shall be too careless to jeopardize my safety?” asked Gabriel in an equally annoyed tone.

“I think Brother you are forgetting that we were supposed to visit Isis with the project work and assignment given at school. And I was here to ask if you are ready to go but then I find you sprawled again unconscious. What is wrong with this room I don’t understand!!”

Gabriel had absolutely forgotten about going to Isis’s home and now when Petrov reminded him he suddenly leaped up the hole and dusted himself and changed with a speed which was record-breaking even for him. This was the attraction of a mate which could make anyone do anything.

“Have you packed the bags where the projects were to be given?”asked Gabriel worried that there might be some kind of mistake which might tarnish his impression.

“Brother you are not a school boy. You are centuries old Prince who is due to rule his empire and now you are fretting over your school project? I know why you are worried, it is because you have tried compulsion on her but failed. It means that either she is immune or she is your mate. For your sake I hope I am right on the second count,” said Petrov.

Gabriel did not know what to answer and said,” You are too perceptive and observant for your own good. We are going to take our car and not run today.”

“It is already nine at the night and I am sure they must be having their supper right now. So yeah, it is better to take the car now,” replied Petrov.

“So don’t be late and hop in fast,” said Gabriel putting the car in gear.

Within sometime they were in front of Isis’s house. It was a quaint little one where she and her aunt lived. Her aunt owned the town’s charm and apothecary shop which run quite well and the people of the town said that the medicines which she gave from herbs worked like wonders.

Gabriel and Petrov parked the car and got down from the car and suddenly they heard a symphony blaring from an age old gramophone from inside the house as if someone was announcing their arrival. Gabriel went up to the door and knocked on the knocker thrice and the door opened to reveal Isis’s aunt.

“Knocking thrice in this home and on this door is forbidden. Who are you?” asked the woman suspiciously.

“My name is Gabriel and this my brother Petrov. We are Isis’s classmates. Actually Headmaster Sir asked us to come down and give her the school project which is necessary to submit,” said Gabriel looking at Isis’s aunt and inside the house subsequently to see if Isis comes down.

“Isis is not at home.She has gone out for some work. Yeah give me what you need to give and I shall tell it to her that you had come to visit her,” said Rossetta.

“But Ma’am Sir told us that she is not well at all and is taking rest at home. So why is she out Ma’am?” asked Gabriel.

“Why are you asking about her? Why do you ask about things that you are not supposed to know and I did not know that Isis had these good friends!!! Moreover both of you do not seem to be from this town. If you were you would not have bothered to come this long way from the town itself.”

Rossetta did not even give them a chance to answer or explain or let them clarify the reason for their questions.

“Is this woman touched in head?” asked Petrov when Gabriel got back in the car.

“No she is just a mother who is over-protective and over-cautious about her child. There must have been some kind of tragedy in this family. But we can deal with that later on. Right now we need to scout the forest and find out what Isis is doing there. It is not at all safe for her to go inside that woods,” said Gabriel taking back the car inside the woods trying to find out where his mate was for whom he was waiting for such a long time.
