Act IX

by Alexander Gordon

  “March your army straight into the heart of our village, I’ll guide you in and confront the priestess directly before all our sisters. Make your case that you wish to be friends with them, that you want better lives for them. Although my kin will quickly see that we cannot fight against you our leader will foolishly choose to defy you, I can guarantee she’ll turn you down.”

  “Not a very smart leader,” Jovian commented shaking her head.

  “No, she’s not. And her young daughter will also stand against you, she’s too young and stupid to see they can’t win this. But their stubbornness will work in our favor,” the elf said, then turned to Jovian with a sly grin on her face. “If they actually choose to fight you all rather than accept their defeat my sisters will see just how fucking stupid our leader really is. They won’t wish to throw away their lives against an army that they cannot hope to defeat, they won’t follow orders that demand they commit suicide.”

  “So they’ll side with you,” Jovian said with an amused smile. “They’ll choose to follow someone who won’t lead them towards imminent death.”

  “I bet I can get every elf to see reason,” the elf proposed with a fanciful wave of her hand. “Everyone except for the priestess and her daughter will understand that we cannot fight against you, that we must work with you to survive. After she’s removed from being in charge I will step up in her place. You can then have our best archers to serve in your army, do with them as you please. As long as you leave my new forest alone I don’t care what you do.”

  “And you’re sure you can gain control over your sisters so easily?” Jovian questioned.

  “If you go in there without my help those elves will not side with you,” the elf explained crossing her arms. “They will be ordered to fight and die for no just reason. But if you help me show them what a stupid cunt our priestess is so I can replace her then you’ll have the best archers in the land serving you.”

  “Sounds easy enough,” Jovian laughed with a careless shrug. “And what will you do with the priestess and her daughter afterwards?”

  “Do with them as you wish,” the elf answered with a slight bow. “Consider them a gift along with your archers. Kill them, use them as slaves, or better yet have them serve as target practice for your trolls and gremlins. I’m sure you can find a use for them in some way.”

  “I’m sure I could as well,” Jovian chuckled. She looked over to the tent as a woman’s scream echoed out once more, the laughter of her captors sounding off in merriment as they continued to torture their prey.

  “Sivil, was it?” she asked turning to the elf. Sivil nodded while a few more strands of her long hair dropped across her face. “It’s no question our army would benefit having your archers serving with them, so for that I’ll humor your little ploy to be queen of the trees. Make your sisters kneel to us and they will be spared a horrible demise. Fail and they along with you shall all be buried as food for the worms and trees that you wish to rule over. Am I clear?”

  “Crystal, Jovian,” Sivil answered with a bow. “I know very well we cannot fight against you. I’m only doing this for the good of my sisters.”

  “You really are so kind,” Jovian commented, gently lifting the elf’s gaze to meet hers by the chin. “Go and prepare your speech, you have a lot of elves to sway with your words. We’ll be leaving in the morning, be ready to move then. And, Sivil?”

  “Yes, Jovian?”

  “The first one I shall devour when this is over will be either that little girl you spoke of, or you. Keep that in mind.”

  “Yes, Jovian,” Sivil shakily answered as she saw the gemini smiling with bared teeth. “I will make certain young Grace is reserved for you and you only to kill.”

  “Good girl,” Jovian sweetly said. She then waved the elf off and started walking towards the tent. “Be off with you then. And don’t disturb me for the remainder of the night, you really kill the mood by just being nearby. I don’t want you to ruin our fun here tonight.”

  “As you wish,” Sivil replied, keeping her voice steady and her face firm to hide her scowl. She walked off while pulling up her hood, the elf making her way through the campsite where murderous monsters allowed her to pass as a special guest by their grand leader’s order.

  Jovian entered the pavilion and smiled amusedly at the sight before her. Trolls and arachne were gathered around the sides while in the middle Jacqueline was laughing happily as she brutally tortured someone with heated steel rod.

  “Scream louder for me, c’mon!” Jacqueline cheered before jamming the rod down into her prey, the woman’s screams of pain sounding off while her hands weakly tried to grab and push the gemini off her. The victim’s limbs were seen to be charred, smoking, and also crumbling apart in some places as the sand that comprised her body was constantly being burned by the dark monster.

  “STOP!” Felucia cried out, her eyes staring in horror at seeing the metal rod spiking through her chest into the ground and burning her. The sand wraith shook about while being pinned to the floor, her body being covered in burns and charred clumps of sand while her green hair and clothes were singed just as badly.

  “Louder!” Jacqueline ordered as she drew the heated rod upward, carving through the sand wraith’s body with a searing hiss. The heated orange steel melted away the sand while lighting a small flame around it across the wraith’s skin, the pain it was causing for her being overwhelming as she was unable to think properly.

  “NOOOO!” Felucia yelled at the top of her lungs, smoke now coming out of her mouth while her legs and arms flailed about uncontrollably. Jacqueline laughed as she yanked the rod out, watching with apparent glee as the wraith’s body slowly healed up where it was burned. Her flesh and even clothing reformed again, only to then be burned away once more as the gemini struck the rod down into her left breast.

  “Which hurts more?” Jacqueline giggled. “The left, or the right?”

  She drew the heated steel across the wraith’s chest and seared through her breasts, causing Felucia to scream in agony while her hands weakly clutched the ground beneath her.

  “PLEASE! AHHHHHHHH! NO MORE!” Felucia begged with eyes shut tight.

  “You didn’t answer my question,” Jacqueline teased. She then struck the heated steel across the wraith’s face, burning her cheek and splattering charred sand onto the floor, before she started beating the woman’s head relentlessly with the hot iron. “Answer my question! Which hurts more, the left or the right? Answer me!”

  “STOP! I BEG OF YOU!” Felucia screamed before her head was decimated and strewn across the floor. Everyone watched as the wraith’s head slowly reformed again, her hair reconnecting from where it was burned off while her face regenerated to show a frightful look towards the gemini.

  “Which is it?” Jacqueline sternly asked, holding the heated poker right in front of the terrified monster’s face.

  “The left! The left hurts more! Please, don’t burn me anymore!”

  “Really?” Jacqueline curiously asked. “You sure it’s not the right?”

  She then struck the rod down into the wraith’s right breast, the woman screaming in agony while the monsters around her laughed in amusement. Jovian chuckled then walked over and tapped her sister’s shoulder. Jacqueline glanced up to her with a smirk then stood up while yanking the hot iron out again, leaving Felucia writhing on the floor crying in pain as her body slowly healed again.

  “Careful, dear sister,” Jovian mockingly said. “If you burn more than half of a sand wraith’s body they won’t be able to regenerate again. You’ll have killed her.”

  “I was careful only to burn just about half of her,” Jacqueline giggled with a mean smile.

  “Please… I’m sorry…” Felucia coughed as she cowered before them. “Please let me go, please.”

  “You’re sorry?” Jovian questioned with a finger held to her chin. “Whatever for? Oh, that’s right. You tried to eat me earlier, didn’t you? That wasn’t very nice.”

&nbs
p; “Yeah,” Jacqueline sneered, quickly getting behind her sister and grabbing hold of her breasts. “Only I can eat my sister. How dare you try to do that with her.”

  “I didn’t know what she was,” Felucia begged holding a hand out. “I didn’t know what you two were.”

  “And so that makes it alright?” Jovian asked, holding one hand over her sister’s as she was fondled while the other grabbed the heated steel rod from the girl. “Your ignorance absolves you of any wrongdoings? Is that how you think? It doesn’t matter if you can’t devour me, if you’re unable to absorb me into your being, you still tried with the intent on eating me. That’s just so rude and very difficult to forgive.”

  “You ate a lot of our friends too,” Jacqueline commented glancing around at the other monsters. “And after we worked so hard to collect so many.”

  “Please,” Felucia stuttered with a nervous smile. “I didn’t mean to… I was only… I didn’t think-”

  “No, you didn’t think,” Jovian agreed. She stepped forth and held the poker towards Felucia’s face, the wraith dropping back and whining with wide eyes as the gemini moved closer to her. Jovian watched the wraith cowering beneath her then glanced to the heated steel with a curious smile.

  “Now how should we teach you some manners? Should I scorch your sand with this rod? Should we burn you with our torches? Maybe even throw you into a fire pit and see how long you scream for.”

  “Please don’t!”

  “I think a few of our gremlin friends have some fire bags,” Jacqueline mentioned. “Maybe they would want some target practice.”

  “Can’t we talk about this? Please?”

  “Or you know,” Jovian mused with a sly grin. “The salamander women in our camp have just been begging to play with you.”

  “No, not them!”

  “They were the ones that heated this steel for us in the first place,” Jovian giggled, waving the heated poker around in front of the terrified woman. “The fire they make is really hot, isn’t it? I wonder how long you would last in their company. I hear they prey upon you sand wraiths out in the wild. They can’t eat you of course, you’re nothing but dirt, but they just love melting you into clumps of ash and cinder. Maybe we should offer you to them as their new plaything.”

  “Please, anything but that!” Felucia cried out. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry for trying to eat you! Let me make it up to you, I’ll do anything you want! Anything!”

  “Anything?” the sisters asked together.

  “Anything!”

  Jovian and Jacqueline glanced to each other with curious looks for a moment then started laughing in unison, with the surrounding monsters joining in while Felucia nervously watched the horde of monsters on the floor. Jovian then whipped the steel rod down, striking it into the ground near Felucia’s head with a sharp whack. The wraith stared with fear at the heated end that was sizzling and burning the dirt it was struck into then shakily looked up to see the gemini smiling wickedly down at her.

  “Alright then,” Jovian said. “I’ll show mercy to you, even after you tried to kill me. I won’t even use that rod on you anymore, I promise.”

  “Thank you,” Felucia shakily said with a fearful smile. “Thank you so much.”

  “Sure,” Jovian replied with a nod. She then unsheathed her sword, held it up with lightning arcing around the blade in loud crackling streaks, then struck down into Felucia’s leg. The sand wraith screamed as the blade seared through her thigh and lit it aflame, the snaps of electricity from the weapon striking all over the wraith’s leg and torso where it burned searing holes through.

  “OH GOD! STOP!” Felucia shrieked as arcs of white light shot out over her from the blade, scorching her sand with smoke and cinders flowing off her. Jovian and Jacqueline watched with cruel smiles, their multicolored eyes never blinking while the flashes of light bloomed against them. The monsters around the tent laughed and cheered as they saw the sand wraith being fried by the enchanted blade, with Jovian chuckling at her screaming prey before finally drawing her sword out. Felucia gasped and cried as she trembled on the ground, having burn marks and crumbling ash coming off all over her body. The wraith wearily looked up to see Jovian holding the sword out towards her face, electing tears of fright from the woman as the gemini laughed at her.

  “You’re going to be our plaything from now on,” Jovian ordered. “You belong to me and my sister. And you are going to do everything we tell you with the utmost gratitude. Otherwise if we don’t want to play with you anymore we’ll toss your worthless body to the salamander women and let them melt you into a clump of ash. Do you understand?”

  “Yes,” Felucia coughed out while trembling in pain. “I understand. I understand, I’ll be your toy. Please don’t burn me again.”

  Jovian smirked at the frightened wraith then slowly set her sword back at her hip, the snaps of energy around it dissolving as she let go of the handle.

  “Get up,” she ordered.

  Felucia slowly got onto her knees before the gemini, her body gradually healing from the severe burns inflicted upon her, then carefully glanced up at the dark monster with a nervous smile. Jovian murmured amusedly at her then gently lifted her dress up in the front, revealing her dark panties underneath that Felucia questionably looked to as the gemini moved it aside with her fingers.

  “Well?” Jovian asked, getting a worried look from the wraith. “You wanted to eat me, didn’t you?”

  Felucia trembled with a shaking lip then gulped and turned to the privates of the gemini that were being flaunted to her. Glancing around she saw all the monsters in the tent laughing and waving her on to do the deed, her eyes then slowly looking up to the gemini as they smiled coldly at her.

  “You belong to me, remember?” Jovian asked.

  “Yes… mistress,” Felucia forced out as she hid her scowl behind a fearful smile. She hesitated with a nervous look towards Jovian’s exposed flesh then slowly leaned forward and closed her eyes, the wraith obediently servicing the gemini that then held her head in place with one hand.

  “That’s a good girl!” Jovian laughed, with the crowd of monsters cheering while Jacqueline smiled bitterly down at the wraith. “Who’s a good girl? Who’s my good little bitch? Hahahaha!”

  Felucia mumbled and whimpered a reply as she continued eating out the girl, her anger building within just as much as her growing sense of despair from being at the mercy of the dark monsters. Jovian rocked her head back with a pleasurable sigh as she relished not only the feeling of the wraith orally servicing her but also how much agony she was being put through. Jacqueline growled a bit with a mean smirk then walked over and picked up the steel rod from the ground. Kneeling down behind Felucia she grabbed her hair and yanked back, earning a nervous glance from the woman as she was still held between Jovian’s legs.

  “I never promised not to use this on you,” Jacqueline mentioned with a cold glare while holding the heated end up towards Felucia’s eye. The wraith whined and tried to shake her head before Jovian pushed her face back into her crotch.

  “And I don’t like anyone else making my sister feel good,” Jacqueline added with a mean pout. She then shoved the heated rod into Felucia’s ass, the wraith screaming as the glowing steel burned away the sand while reaching deep inside her.

  “Scream for me, it’ll make me feel better!” Jacqueline ordered while stirring the poker around in the wraith’s behind. Felucia shrieked while being held in place between Jovian’s legs, the wraith grasping at the dark monster’s hips while she strained herself to continue pleasuring the gemini in fear of what would happen should she stop.

  Jovian and Jacqueline laughed in unison as they watched Felucia cry and obey their commands. The crowd of followers cheered and cackled in enjoyment, their voices and shouts paling in comparison to the cold and heartless laughter of the twisted sisters.

  “This is just the beginning,” Jovian said down to the woman. Felucia glanced up to her with a whimper as the gemini held her head se
curely. “We’re going to play with you, all day, every day. We’re going to have so much fun, my little pet. So much fun indeed. Isn’t that just great?”

  Felucia screamed as she was held down against the monster, with Jacqueline now scraping the heated poker across the wraith’s back to burn more of her sand. Jovian laughed heartily as they tortured their prisoner then glanced behind her towards the tent’s opening, stealing a glimpse of the forest that lay before their encampment of bloodthirsty monsters and the path towards their next destination.

  “Tonight we play with you. Tomorrow we play with the elves.”
