  “Guys,” Mephistopheles began, “guys, wait…”

  A flash of bright white light lit up the whole desert sky.

  ***

  Mephistopheles opened his eyes and for just a moment he could not remember where he was or what was going on. And then as he looked around himself he realized that he was no longer where he had been just a moment earlier. Up on the surface of the desert with those two ungrateful Charlatans.

  No, now he was back under the ground. Quite far below as it so happened, though thankfully not nearly as far below as that other place. Thank Scum for that, he thought.

  And then in an instant he understood just what they had done to him and he almost laughed at the genius of it. He began to slide down the red surface of the huge nuclear warhead’s nozzle, gaining speed as he approached the edge before finally slipping over into the dark abyss and falling the few hundred feet to the floor of the silo below.

  Bastards.

  He hit the ground with a crunch as his human limbs shattered beneath the force of the fall. There was no point now in even trying to repair them. In a few more seconds they’d be torn apart with far more force than he himself would ever be able to mend. And where would that leave him?

  “Oh shit,” he whispered, “oh no.”

  From here there was only one place to go and he had a feeling the high dukes of Hell were not going to let him come back to earth again anytime soon. No, they’d probably have other plans in store for the demon who’d betrayed their rule and gone out on his own as a renegade. It looked like the gig was finally up.

  Or was it? Maybe there was something he could do, anything? As Mephistopheles wracked his brain for the quick fix that would get him out of this mess he was in, the warheads above him turned white hot and beyond in the space of mere milliseconds and his earthly body was obliterated in an instant. Mephistopheles went back to Hell.

  ***

  Julie watched with grave concern as Samuel and Baptiste used all their strength to try to subdue the terrible force that was surely reverberating through the whole silo below. How long she wondered, would they have to hold the force at bay? Would they be strong enough?

  After what seemed like an eternity, every second drawn out to its taut, intense limit, the worst of the explosion seemed to subside and the huge glow that surrounded the magicians began to falter.

  After another few seconds the sky was dark again and it was almost as though nothing at all of interest had ever taken place on that patch of earth, not even civilization itself. The desert was bare and empty, indifferent to the plights of men and demons alike.

  “My darling!” Samuel shouted as he ran towards her, “you’re alright!”

  He wrapped his strong arms around her and Julie collapsed into the security of his grasp.

  “Is it over?” she asked, “is it really over?”

  “Yes, my love,” Samuel replied, “It’s over.”

  He pressed his warm lips over hers and in an instant all the pain and suffering of the ordeal was wiped away, replaced with only love, joy and hope. The Ringmaster was a magic kisser.

  “But Francois?” Julie asked when they finally broke lips, “Cassandra? What about them?”

  The Ringmaster was silent for a moment. “There was nothing we could have done,” he said finally, “they gave up their lives so we could live. Cassandra, for all her faults, at least redeemed herself before the end.”

  “All we can do now is live on,” Baptiste said, “in honor of their memory. That is what a life is, a proud affront to death and darkness. A flickering candle that lights up a microscopic feast. It is made to be enjoyed and then it is gone as fast as it ever appeared.”

  “For some perhaps,” the Ringmaster said, cradling his lover in his chest as he looked out at the purple horizon. “But some of us have mastered the art of making life last a little longer. I’ve lived for almost three centuries my friend, but only now am I truly free. And I intend to make the most of the wonderful gift that has been bestowed upon me. Now at last I can be free to realize my vision.”

  “And what’s that then?” Baptiste asked with a wry smile.

  “Why, bringing pleasure and delight to those who need it the most,” Samuel said, “to give a voice to all of the best and most seductive sins, while banishing the worst ones from the face of the earth. That is my mission and now there is nothing at all that stands in my way.”

  “You’re incorrigible,” Baptiste grinned.

  “Yes,” Samuel agreed, “and as undefeatable as the human spirit itself. Come, we shall return to the circus and honor the fallen. It is all we can do for them now.”

  As the three travelers set off back across the desert, a whole universe of wonder and intrigue twinkled in the darkness above them. This realm of existence was vast and it would take the Ringmaster a long time to accomplish his goals. But time was the one thing he had an abundance of. Time and the love of a woman, who meant more to him now than all other things combined.

  Hellfire Circus Volume One

  By

  Crystal De la Cruz

  The travelling Hellfire Circus is an arena where the most depraved and darkest sexual fantasies come to light, a place where visitors can indulge in their most guarded pleasures without fear of judgment or ridicule. But what is the true identity of the handsome and mysterious Ringmaster and why does he seem so unlike anyone else from this century?

  This volume contains the following stories:

  Whipped by the Ringmaster.

  When small town reporter Julie Sampson gets an anonymous tape in the mail depicting a few tantalizing seconds of the wildest, most depraved sex she’s ever heard, she knows she won’t be able to rest until she finds out more. And when she traces the recording back to the Hellfire Circus, a mysterious carnival that’s just moved into town, she decides to infiltrate to track down the source herself.

  But the Hellfire Circus is no place for half measures and the dark and mysterious Ringmaster who rules there doesn't take kindly to trespassers. So when Julie is captured sneaking around on his grounds, he promises that the ensuing punishment is going to be extreme.

  Training the Innocent Couple.

  Mary and John Cameron share a stale marriage. They still love each other but after ten years it just seems like the spark has gone out. So in an attempt to reintroduce some excitement to their lives, they decide to take a trip to the Hellfire Circus.

  But the strange and gothic carnival is more than just a venue of entertainment. It is a place where people's deepest darkest imaginings come true and when the mysterious Ringmaster claims them as his own, Mary and John know that their relationship can never be the same again. Not after their night of disgrace at the Hellfire Circus.

  Teaching his Obedient Slave.

  When Julie Sampson gave up her ordinary life to run away with the circus it was like a dream come true – Her darkest, dirtiest dream, that is.

  Because the Hellfire Circus is a carnival like no other, it is a place of intense sexual discipline where fantasy becomes reality and all perversions are eventually explored. And Julie's role there is certainly unique. She is the Ringmaster's personal slave and now he is ready to hand her over to the rest of his team to commence the next level of her sexual education.

  The Dominatrix Takes Control.

  When the Hellfire Circus breaks down on the outskirts of Chicago city, all performances are cancelled for the immediate future. Which means that the performers can do as they please for the rest of the weekend – no matter how twisted and depraved.

>   When the Ringmaster’s predatory and voluptuous assistant Cassandra gets jealous of his new plaything, she decides to head into the city to find a toy of her own – and she intends to push him to the very limits of pleasure and pain.
