Going back to the campsite wasn’t so difficult, I always have good memory of the directions and landmarks to where I previously stayed or remembered. Besides, the moon provided a light source for visibility and a false sense of warmth for the cold air.
Casually approaching to my direction in nude, I hate the fact that my clothes were ruined after being…transformed to whatever it was that happened to me. If only they could be replaced, at least Clover is with us, he has some magic to bring them back or what not.
Perhaps I need to contemplate with my thoughts alone, that is why I decided to come here; to get a clear mind before the next event that is coming.
Sitting near a dead tree with my exposed ass on the snowy ground, my eyes wandered to the sky above while taking deep breaths, hoping to calm myself down from the previous encounter that left me feeling anxious and shocked.
“Demons…” I mumbled to myself, disbelief of the encounters that transpired in all my life.
Closing my eyes, flashing images of inhumane memories of the past flashed like a slideshow, causing a wave of nausea to wash across the inside of my mouth.
A sudden flashback of my abusive father, a sadist who beat and tortured me. Lilith, a literal demon that took the form of a kind woman to lure and trap me. Horrifying people and nightmares of my guilt or past crimes came rushing into my brain with a flood of emotions that made me feel sick to my stomach.
All of these events and many more flooded into my consciousness as if it is a movie that plays in slow motion. It is always hard to sleep, yet; the fatigue always wins over.
“Hahaha…” I nervously laugh with my hand over my mouth, trying to keep the nightmares and horrors at bay in the back of my head.
Sighing in distress, I begin to sob from the amount of terror I had to endure in everyday basis; the overwhelming dread that not only I had to experience the worst parts of humanity and monsters that should not even exist in this world; I also have to remind myself to stay true to my humanity in not becoming the very thing that almost made me lose myself to the dark side of human nature—to become a literal demon and lose all my compassion.
“Dammit!” I plunge my fist at the ground, remembering another problem I have to deal with now after learning that I can transform into whatever the fuck I have become to be able to brutally murder those cultists.
Those voices; three of them in peculiar. A man, woman and little boy that always laugh at my demise or misery. They are the same ones that popped up when I first slept with Eve in my house.
And that terrifies me the most; they almost made me lose my sense of self and humanity. In addition, I could have killed my companions or worse, Eve. If that had ever happened…then I do not know how to stop them from coming back and haunting me again.
With a loud sigh of despair, I stand up from the cold and snowy earth, continuing my walk to the direction of the campsite; my mind was almost clear and at peace before something unexpected happened in the middle of this dead forest.
A sharp whistle pierces the air and makes me quickly spun in motion to find the person I wish never to encounter again-Lilith. The same appearance, posture and everything; it is exactly there like the night when she burnt my home village down to the ground before killing all the women and children without a second thought or hesitation.
Dismay, fright, nausea and tremors are all emotions that were felt from the moment her face appeared in front of mine from a distance away. The sight of Lilith is terrifying as it reminds me of the hellish nightmare that haunted my nights since then.
Then she smiled; not in a normal devilish grin that people can make, it is her lips that went abnormally wide and stretched to the point of breaking and cracking, showing the redness of flesh underneath.
I cannot say or speak nor even scream as my words refuse to come out. All of the blood in my body rushes to the head and my vision once again began distorting around me. Everything in my vision was warping and moving in unusual ways, but I can still and comprehend the situation as it is.
She began to walk towards me, casually and seductive with a smile of satisfaction on her luxurious lips. Her dreadful red eyes are staring right at me, waiting for the exact time to strike.
My trembling body remained in this very spot, sweating profusely with a cold sweat dripping from every pore; unable to move a single muscle to evade the inevitable. And worst, my vision is still warping and distorting in crazy patterns as if there is a black hole in the center of my brain sucking all light and energy into it.
Closing my eyes shut, I repetitive chant the same sentence to myself over and over like a mantra, “you are not real, you are not real, you are not real, you are not real…” All the while, the footsteps of the woman was getting closer and closer until it was only a few meters from me. Then the sound of a soft whisper reached my ears as if someone was speaking to me.
“I am real, my sweet little Adam.”
Opening my eyes, she is inches away from my face; a perfect picture of horrifying beauty that was beyond compare. So I ran as fast as I can while screaming internally from unmatched fear as the world warp and bent within my perception of my surroundings.
Even though deep down that her speed far surpassed mine, as long as my legs are working and functioning, then there is no stopping me from escaping. But the chase was not over yet. The sounds of crunching snow is her catching up to me and will likely soon be able to reach and grab me before too much longer.
Gulping, I decide to turn my head a little to the side, allowing my eyes to see what is going on from my back. It is her and she playing with me like sick game of cat and mouse. Her arms were stretched towards me like zombie hands reaching out from the grave; ready to grasp onto the nearest warm thing to feed off its life source.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA”
Lilith laughed manically, watching me try to run away from her; it was almost like a scene from a movie where a monster was chasing the main character. Except, this was not a dream, nor was it a hallucination—it was all very, very real.
“LEAVE ME ALONE! PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE! LEAVE ME ALONE!” I tearfully cried out as I desperately tried to escape. However, the harder I run the faster she was closing in, “PLEASE MOMMY, PLEASE MOMMY, PLEASE MOMMY!”
Trying to speak hurts when her presence is near me, but I was surprised that I can still speak when I have the strength to do so. That is the only reason I was able to cried out; however, the pain in my throat was too much to bear.
Eventually, she managed to catch me; her arms wrapping tightly around my neck and chest while pressing herself from my back like a lover’s embrace. She had a tight grip of my collar and the force of it is enough to choke me. “IT HURT, IT HURT, EVERYTHING HURTS!!!” My voice is muffled as if it were a distant memory, but the pain of it all is excruciating.
My mind, my voice, my heart, my soul; all of them are broken into pieces. All of it are scattered across the ground and buried deep under a pile of dirt. No matter how hard I try to hold on to it all, they all breaking away from my hands.
These terrible memories are trying to get back to me, but they keep slipping through my fingers. They are getting lost in the endless sea of blackness. Now, every single moment of happiness that was given to me is fading away.
“Oh Adam..honey, does it hurt? Does it?” She taunted cruelly, whispering in my ear as she disgustingly places her tongue on my face, licking it like a cat as afflicted bloody wound drips down from my face. It felt as if there is a small insect crawling on my skin.
I wanted to scream but no sound came out of my mouth. Instead, it feels as if there are a hundred bugs crawling inside my stomach and throat altogether.
At this moment, I feel like that I want to die; to end this torture. But, there is something in the back of my head telling me not to give in. If I surrender now, then everything will be over and done with. So, for the time being, I am holding on until this is finally finished.
Because I can endure the pain for a little longer. Because the thought of ending it all is unbearable. Because—because —because. There is a reason. A purpose. And that is to survive. To live. And I won’t let her take the remnants of the life I have currently built upon.
With a last effort of defiance, I struggle to break free from the clutches of death. With a final surge of energy, a desperate act of desperation, a cry of anguish, a shriek of pain, a plea of mercy, a call of salvation, a prayer of hope; with the last of the strength left within me, the breath of perseverance escapes from my lips.
Yet, no matter how much I struggle; her overwhelming grip and strength was borderline inhuman. Her claws and nails pierced deeply and painfully through my flesh and bones. Blood trickled from the countless wounds on my body.
However, I did not give in that easily.
“You are such spoiled little boy, are you, Adam?” Lilith teased with a mocking tone of voice. Then, with a sudden burst of movement, she pushed me on snowy ground, “don’t be such a tease~”
I crawled on the ground- even when everything inside of me is breaking and broken into smithereens, I still held onto my human spirit of living. Grinding my teeth, I slithered towards my intended direction, refusing to give up until all options have run out.”No one is going to save you, Adam. No one…” In a quick rapid succession and strong hands, she forcibly push and turn me around to have my front body being exposed in the open before sitting on my manhood.
“STOP IT! STOOOOP!” My cries were like those of a innocent boy I was once long ago; a pathetic whimper of a helpless victim. From her monstrous visage, the demoness continued to violate me in the most obscene and shameful manner.
Her hot breath was blowing on the side of my face as if trying to freeze the blood that was rushing to it. Her warm, soft and moist tongue was licking my tears and snot off my cheeks while gently kissing and sucking on my earlobes as she slowly choke me to painful and agonizing death. The sensation of the cold ice and the warmth of her mouth and saliva felt as if it was slowly melting and dissolving away the comfort walls of my soul.
“That is enough!”
A familiar voice spoke from distance, forcing Lilith to stop what she was doing before turning her head 180-degrees behind us, “my, my…if it isn’t Lady Death herself,” she greeted with a smile of satisfaction.
Despite the boiling and distorted of both my emotions and perception, I was able to recognize the voice. It was…Azrael. But why, why now? Why save me?
I cannot think straight, not like this when my mind and emotions is painfully going hay wire. There is too much happening; the fact that Azrael has found me and will likely saved me from Lilith is a miracle in itself. To bad that the damage has already been done.
Azrael’s expression wasn’t carefree or playful anymore; it had become more solemn and stern than ever. A look of disgust and anger that she is now wearing, along with having a hint of guilt. She looked as if a storm has blown in from the west, a cold wind and a bitter chill. An icy and freezing feeling that pierce the bones of a person to the core.
Lilith stood up and twist her body to Azrael’s direction, “the angel of death, it is pleasant surprise to see you here. Why sweetheart, should you not be watching over the souls of the dead?”
Azrael gave a cold stare to the succubus before answering, “I came here because of him,” the tone of voice carried in a threatening manner, “release him, ‘The Great Whore,’ or else I will erase you from this world.” Lilith giggled, amused by the threat of angel, “oh, please do. Then we can continue where we left off. Maybe we can get to know each other better?”
But the tiredness, the pain; everything is overwhelming me to the point that my eyelids have become heavy. As the duo prepare to fight, my eyes close shut once again; drifting back into the darkness of unconscious.
