Bonded

Chapter 6

Sarah ran out of Lilith's room into the passageway blindly. She ran into one of the walls with her shoulder and fell to the ground. Scrambling to her feet, she ran down the passageway. Her heart was beating hard in her ears and her breathing came out in rapid shallow breaths.

'How could she?' Sarah thought, 'She planned this all. She was going to give me to her servant.'

Sarah shivered as a chill running down her spine thinking about how Mathew rubbed against her. She stopped in the middle of the passageway to catch her breath. She leaned against a wall taking in deep breaths. Sarah noticed that dark shadows appeared everywhere around her. She thought she felt one of the shadows caress her face and pull at her dress.

Back in Lilith's bedroom, Mathew stood up preparing to run after Sarah, but felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning his head he saw his mistress dressed and wearing her black cloak.

"Do not worry about her, Mathew," Lilith said with a smile, "I will hunt our little mouse."

"Yes mistress." Mathew replied bowing his head.

"Ensure our friend does not make too much noise." Lilith ordered, "I'm might have further use for him."

"Yes mistress." Mathew repeated.

Lilith melted into the shadows and Mathew shivered in fear. He never did like it when she did that.

Pushing off the wall, she ran for her life away from the shadows. She felt trapped in the Covent as if the walls closed in around her. She turned down a passageway and stopped to catch her breath again. Then she heard a faint sound from the far end of the passage.

"Sarah," The voice whispered from the shadows, "I will get you. I will kill you."

Sarah froze in terror as the voice and her eyes opened wide upon seeing the candles along the walls extinguish themselves. Her mind screamed at her to run. Sarah bolted and ran for the open courtyard and the main gate. She shoved at the door to the open courtyard. The night felt chilly and she sucked in the night air as she ran into the middle of courtyard, her bare feet splashing in puddles.

Sarah stopped again, sucking in great gulps of air with her hands on her knees and her eyes closed. As she caught her breath, she moved her feet in the puddle. The puddle felt odd under her feet. The puddle had a sticky, thick feel to it. Opening her eyes, she looked down as the moon light spilled over the courtyard.

'Dear god,' Sarah thought as her head flew to her mouth, 'Is that blood.'

Sarah looked around and saw next to her, two lumps. Terror filled her heart as the lumps came into sharp relief. The lumps had arms and legs. Shaking in fear and the chilly night air, Sarah looked closer and gasped in shock. She saw the faces of Jason and Thomas staring sightlessly up into the night sky. She saw deep cut marks in their throats.

"Dear god, no." Sarah whispered into her hand, "Dear god, I have to escape."

She tore her gaze from the horrifying sight and saw the main gate. Slowly stepping backwards her feet made sickening sucking sounds as she stepped through the blood. Swallowing to keep the bile down, she felt her back press up against the rough wood of the main gate as she stared fixated on the dead bodies.

Sarah moved her hand shakily up the rough wood feeling for the locking mechanism. She turned around and fumbled with the latch yanking at it. She felt fear and frustration pour through her body as she tried to undo the lock. Her fingers felt cold and numb.

"Come on." Sarah cried out in frustration, "Open up, now."

To her surprise and relief, the lock popped open as she felt something pass between her and the lock. Then she froze as she heard the rustling of cloth from behind her in the silent night. Slowly glancing behind her, her eyes widen in terror. Lilith was standing in the middle of the puddle of blood wearing a black robe. As the clouds covered the moon, Sarah cried out for under the hood of the robe, Lilith's eyes were a deep crimson red.

'It is from my nightmares.' Sarah thought, 'She is going to kill me.'

"Where are you going Sarah?" Lilith hissed in a low voice.

"St...stay b...ack." Sarah shuttered in fear. She felt her muscles go rigid as she stared into those red eyes, which haunted her nightmares for so long.

"You did not enjoy the show?" Lilith asked smiling.

'I know I'm going to enjoy this.' Lilith thought feeling the fear pour from Sarah.

Lilith inhaled the fear. It excited her and gave her power.

Sarah turned and pulled at the main gate with all her strength. It opened enough for her to slip through, the hem of her skirt caught on the edge of the gate as she slipped through. Sarah grabbed hold of her skirt and pulled hard in frustration and fear. She looked up to see Lilith slowly walking towards her. She heard the wool of the skirt tear and she fell backwards onto the ground. Scrambling up she noticed that Lilith's eyes glowed deeper as she continued to walk slowly towards her.

'This is going to be so much fun.' Lilith thought as she walked slowly towards Sarah, 'we should not be hiding in the shadows, but out in the open showing the world our power.'

Sarah scrambled up and ran for the open road towards the marshes. She heard Lilith laugh loudly as she ran blindly into the marsh. As she ran off the path, she lost her footing and fell into the ice-cold water of the marsh. Coughing and spluttering out water she had swallowed, Sarah pulled herself back up. She coughed a few more times, her clothes weighing her down.

Sloshing through the knee-deep water, her feet, and legs became numb from the bone chilling water. She heard the laughter again as she bare feet scraped against the bottom of the shallow marsh. Fumbling around in the pitch black darkness, she felt a mound in front of her. It felt like branches and dirt.

'It must be a small island in the middle of the marsh.' Sarah thought.

She pulled herself out of the chilly water onto the small island. Falling to her hands and knees, Sarah breathed heavily as her body trembled from fear and the cold. Her teeth chattered violently in the night air.

"My, my Sarah," Lilith's voice spoke from all around, "you are quite the mess."

Sarah stood up on shaky legs and looked around in the pitch-black darkness. She felt exhausted and fear coursed through her body. The moon was covered by the clouds and there was an eerily quietness to the marsh. From her side, Sarah heard the tall grasses rustle. Turning towards the sound, Sarah only could make out the gentle movement of the tall grasses. She leaned over and picked up a tree branch.

"Le...leave me alone!" Sarah shouted in a trembling voice as she held the branch tightly.

"You look cold my dear," Lilith hissed from the darkness, "Put down that branch and I will take you home."

"N...nn...ever," Sarah said in fear as her teeth chattered. Her hands and arms shook from the cold.

"Oh you poor child, did your lover disappoint you," Lilith laughed form the darkness of the marsh, "He did not disappoint me." Lilith continued to laugh, which seemed to become louder.

"Stop," shouted Sarah dropping the branch. She covered her ears with her hands and closed her eyes to shut out the laughing, "Stop it!" she repeated loudly trying to drown out the laughter.

Suddenly the laughing stopped and the eerily silence of the marsh returned. Sarah stopped shouting and lowered her hands from her ears. She slowly opened her eyes and felt a presence next to her. Trembling violently she turned her head and saw the red gleaming eyes of Lilith staring inches away from her.

"Boo." Lilith whispered with a smile on her blood red lips.

"Ah!" Sarah screamed, stumbling backwards. Her feet tripped over an uprooted branch. She fell backwards hard onto the ground. The air escaped her lungs and she hit the back of her head hard against another branch. Bright spots blossomed in front of her vision as she gasped, trying to catch her breath.

"What a pathetic excuse for a woman," Lilith spat in disgust, "How can you be the one."

Lilith shook her head, looking down at Sarah trying to catch her breath. She knelt down next to the struggling girl feeling anger rise up in her.

'This is all too easy.' Lilith thought, 'I think I will have some fun before I take her back." A wicked smile spread across her face.

"Pleas...please don't,' Sarah whimpered trying to suck in air.

"Don't what child," Lilith chuckled, "Hurt you, kill you?"

"Please leave me alone." Sarah whimpered.

"Oh, I have something better in mind."

Sarah felt something warm and wet run up the side of her face. As her vision cleared, she saw Lilith licking the side of her face. Lilith licked up a tear from her cheek. Sarah jerked her head away and Lilith smiled. Unexpectedly, Lilith smacked Sarah across the left side of her face and then backhanded her across the right side.

Sarah cried out in pain as her vision blurred from her tears. She tasted blood in her mouth again as her cheeks burned from the blows. She heard Lilith laugh in delight and then she licked her cheek again.

"Now don't move again," Lilith ordered, "Or it will be worse for you."

Sarah lied still whimpering and shaking.

"Really, the chosen one," Lilith said sarcastically.

"What?" Sarah asked confused, "Why did you call me that?"

"You never knew," Lilith laughed, "You are a white witch, you stupid girl, born of nature and destiny to bring the Nephilim into our realm."

Dumbfounded by this revelation, Sarah stared opened mouthed, 'I'm a white witch, born of nature?' Sarah thought, 'Has she gone mental?'

However, her thoughts when back to the dreams of her lying on the forest floor wearing the white gown. She felt at peace among the forest. Even now, the marsh seemed friendly and warm to her in this moment of horror.

"You're mad, Lilith." Sarah shouted.

"Oh, how little you know stupid girl, but I'm not going to tell you," Lilith waved her finger back and forth in front of her face, "And I want to have some fun with you before I drag you back to the Covent."

Before Sarah knew it, she felt Lilith running a hand up her wet skirt and up her leg. Shocked by this act, Sarah closed her legs preventing Lilith's hand from moving any further.

"You had better cooperate," Lilith threatened by raising a hand, showing she will strike her again, "If you know what is good for you?" Then she smacked Sarah across the face again, "Pull up your skirt and open your legs."

The smack across her face hurt worse than the first time. Sarah cried out and sobbed. She did as Lilith commanded turning her head to the side. Lilith looked hungrily down at the woman's soft golden curls as she ran her hand up Sarah's soft inner thigh. Lilith ran a finger between her legs and gasped in surprise.

"You were excited by me having sex." Lilith laughed as she rubbed her finger up and down Sarah's lips, "You enjoyed the whole scene. Did Mathew or Joshua excite you?"

Sarah closed her eyes in disgust and cried. Lilith grabbed hold the front of Sarah's wet dress and violently ripped it open with inhuman strength. Sarah screamed in surprise as Lilith exposed her breasts to the night air. Lilith kept her hand between Sarah legs, rubbing her finger slowly between her lips. She leaned over, took one of Sarah's pink n*****s between her lips, and sucked on it. Sarah let out a gasp of pleasure and arched her back as Lilith's tongue touched the n****e.

Sarah kept her head to the side, not wanted to see Lilith. Lilith bit down on her n****e with her teeth and Sarah gritted her teeth against the pain. Lilith smirked, moved over to her other n****e, and repeated the same thing. Slowly she swirled her tongue around the n****e and the bit down on it.

"Did you enjoy that?" Lilith asked letting the n****e fall from her lips, "I find that pain bring pleasure."

'What is wrong with her?' Sarah thought keeping her head to side and biting her lip.

Lilith continued to lick and suck on Sarah's pink n*****s and well-formed breast. She enjoyed seeing her squirm and moan. Lilith slid her finger deeper into Sarah's folds and rubbed upward finding the sensitive erect nub. She gently rubbed her fingertip against it. A low moan escaped Sarah's lips against her will.

"That's my girl," Lilith said looking up from Sarah's breast, "Moan louder for me."

Lilith pressed her finger against the nub again and Sarah stifled the moan. Lilith felt anger rise up in her and used her hand to pinch Sarah's n****e hard. To her satisfaction, Sarah cried out in pain.

"I will get you to cry out one way or another." Lilith said menacing. "Now look at me or I will hit you this time."

Sarah looked up into those red eyes in horror. She felt sick as her mind fought against the pleasure, but her body was responding to Lilith's caresses. She felt her hips moving as Lilith stroked her sensitive spot that Joshua had done earlier in the day. She swallowed and let out a loud moan as Lilith rubbed her faster and harder.

"You are a little whore." Lilith laughed and pinched Sarah's n****e again.

"Please stop this." Sarah pleaded.

"When we get back, you will be mine," Lilith laughed again, "Maybe I will let Joshua, and Mathew have you at the same time. What do you think about that?"

Sarah dug her hands into the soft earth as she felt the same pleasurable sensations from earlier in the day. At the same time, she felt something hard against her right hand. If felt like a large tree branch. Suddenly her mind cleared and she felt rage swell through her body. She felt rage for the mistreatment of Jason, Thomas, and Joshua. She felt pure rage swell in her for how this woman could control her body.

Lilith laughed, knowing Sarah would climax soon. She knew this would be her ultimate control over the girl. Lilith looked into Sarah's eyes wanting to see that defeat, but she saw something else. A deep golden color replaced the familiar hazel colored eyes. Lilith felt confused by this change in events.

'What is happening to her?' Lilith thought as she rubbed her faster.

Sarah felt Lilith bring her to the peak of pleasure, but she also felt a warm sensation running down her arm to the branch she now held. She arched her back and bit her lips.

'Yes, yes,' Lilith thought, 'just a bit more.'

Lilith did not smile as Sarah screamed out. Sarah did not scream out in pleasure, but in pure rage. Lilith saw the girl's eyes were a bright golden color. Suddenly a blinding hot pain ripped through the side of Lilith's face as something struck her. She fell off Sarah and clutched the side of her face. The smell of burnt flesh hung in the air.

Sarah did not know what happened. One moment she was in pure ecstasy and then her arm swung up with the tree branch, striking Lilith in the face. Sarah temporarily blinded by the dazzling white light and intense heat. When the light faded, she looked over and saw Lilith screaming in pain, while holding the side of her face.

"You b***h!" Lilith screamed in pain, while holding the side of her face, "I will kill you!"

Sarah smelled a familiar smell of burning meat, which made her gag. Lilith looked at her with one crimson red glowing eye. As the clouds moved and the full moon came illuminated the marshes. Sarah saw the left side of Lilith's face charred black and blistering.

Sarah attempted to get up, but Lilith leaped on her and rammed a knee into her stomach. Sarah gasped for air as Lilith knocked the wind out of her. Lilith gripped her hands around Sarah's throat and squeezed. Sarah hit Lilith's arms with her hands as the woman crushed her windpipe.

"Die you b***h!" Lilith yelled in rage, "Die!"

Lilith squeezed harder around Sarah's throat, pushing her thumbs into her windpipe. Sarah found it difficult to breath in air and she saw blackness on the edge of her vision as she tried to suck in air. Sarah grabbed onto Lilith's wrist trying to pull them lose, but she felt weak. Her breathing became shallow as Lilith pushed harder with her thumbs.

'I'm going to die.' Sarah thought. 'I will never get to understand what the meaning of that door.'

A vision of the Adam's door appeared in her mind, the geometric shapes, and the swirling patterns. Strangely, Lilith's horribly mutilated face faded as the whole world swam before her eyes. Then there was blackness and the world when silent.
