Dance With The Devil

Chapter 15

Ellen had no choice other than going to Stephen and plea. She said to whole community of the shelter cooperation

"I know I am a victim and I m looking forward to have your full cooperation but I request you not to leave me alone at this moment of crisis"

And everybody repeatedly

"this would not happen at all, we will Stand by you no matter what".

She was in tears. She had been weeping since the news came in. She was furious and in denial but then she started accepting what was reality. She could not revert it, but she was a warrior, she wanted to fight it. For that, she asked everyone to cooperate, and apparently everyone affirmed her of their cooperation.

" I wish I would bring back my kids, hail the devil!" And everybody repeated after her

"hail the Devil"

She went out from shelter cooperation and sat in the car. Her driver was sorry for her. He liked Ellen pretty much and thus wanted to stick to her as much as he could.

"Don't you worry Ellen, everything shall be fine for sure"

She did not reply but she prayed "God permits"

Soon they arrived at the Mayor's office. She was let in without any effort. Guard ask her to sit at the waiting room.

Soon Stephen arrived. She went in to her office and said

"Oh Ellen! What made you to come visit me."

Ellen said :

"it had become necessary to meet you Stephen"

"I like when egoistic people get trimmed with the blade of circumstances." Stephen said in such a sarcastic way that Ellen shook completely. Ellen started weeping and said

"Please tell me how my kids are? Where they have been. How they are doing??"

Stephen laughed and said

"what are you talking about Ellen, how come I would know about your kids? Was I being responsible for them? I don't think so."

Ellen was still weeping. She said

"Stephen we are in opposition but it doesn't have anything to do with my kids. We should spare them from fight."

Stephen laughed

"Ha-ha-ha, you haven't heard Ellen! Everything is fair in love and war, you should be thankful to me for I haven't decapitated them."

Ellen cried out loud and her pride disintegrated in dust. A streak of sweat dropped from her head, although it was not that much of cold there.

She stood up instantly and fell into his feet.

"please let them go, I beg you, please Stephen, I would do whatever you ask me."

Stephen didn't take notice of her plea. He was not in mode of watching a beautiful woman in his feet. He was thinking about something else.

"I can let go of them but I just don't know where they are."

Stephen said in a serious tone, Ellen said

"please Stephen, don't play with me, I am not in the right state of mind."

Stephen agreed to her and said

I would like to play with you Ellen, I would like to make you my bitch."

Ellen stopped talking and said

"What d-d-do you mean?What are you trying to say?"

"I am as clear as day my dear Ellen."

Ellen was confused and paralysed at the moment. She could not speak or express anything. She made a sound like a sqeak. She felt like she was standing in a crowd and crowd was damning her with stones. Her self-esteem shattered completely. She wished the earth could have torn apart to engulf her as whole.

"if that's the price I got pay in order to rescue my children, I would do it in the blink of moment."

She said and Stephen assumed a wicked smile over his face. He was the winner who won with cheap tactics. But he was the man of the day. His greed was all over his face. He seemed avaricious and cunning. The extra belly fat made him look more awful.

"I liked how understanding and humble you have become, we will along nicely."

Ellen did not say anything but did have that look of disgust in her eyes.

She felt that silence would be the best answer.

She finally asked

" what do you want now."

Stephen said with a gleam in his eyes

" You are going to be very useful for my career."

Chika was talking to Jerua. She asked him

"so you got the idea behind the dart gun?"

Jerua said

"yes, but I am not in the mood of talking right now."

Chika asked "why would that be?"

He said

"I don't trust you with it and all that."

She asked

"why would it be?"

" Let it go, I shall discuss it some other time!"

Jerua said in a serious tone

"No ,come on tell me! I can take an honest opinion or comment"

Chika said

"what makes you think that I am about make a comment about you." Jerua said

"I am just saying that if you are hesitating you to share than it just mean that you don't find me Fidel."

"Its not about your fidelity Chika, it's more about trust between you and I "

Jerua said again. He was upset on something. It was for sure

"i completely trust you Jerua but I think you don't trust me."

Chika said in a begging sound.

" I don't know Chika, you have not told me about your confrontation with Sasha."

"She said nothing." Chika told a white lie.

" I don't think you should be worried about the dart gun now, I can handle it on my own."

Jerua said in anger and went away. He knew that Chika had been hiding something. Something she had kept to herself. He detected a sensation of doubt in Chika and he was mad at her for he was sure about it. He just didn't want to talk to her right now. He wanted to figure out What Chika and Sasha were up to.

Hinata asked a server to bring Maria to the room where Queen had been laying still. She was a breathing statue. She didn't move or sigh or showed any expression of life. It was pretty clear from the cardiogram being drawn on the machine that her heart rate is steady but there was no brain activity.

Maria came in and she stood at one side. She didn't said anything at all . Hinata sensed his presence and asked her to come closer. At first she did not move but Hinata said in louder voice

"are you fucking dumb? Do not you listen to me?" Maria was still, she was scared in front of this giant man, who was furious and vicious. Who did not care about the pride of other person. Who just happened to care only about himself.

Maria came closer and said

"Yes, I am here"

Hinata said in anger

"look at my mother what do you find on her face?"

She did not say anything at first but then she said

"i find stillness on her face, lifelessness."

Hinata said again

"what do you think who would be responsible for my mother's lifelessness, who would draw happiness and charm out of her?"

He shrieked out loud , Maria said slowly

"You have proven it that it was only my fault and I feel ashamed on what I did."

Maria knew that he wants to hear only this confession and she gave it to him. She has convicted it to herself that she would compromise now. She would let the devil play with him as much as he wants.

"i don't need your shame, you bitch, I need my mother back, I want to see her smile, talk, walk and eat. Do not you get it."

Hinata was furious, he was crying out loud. He wanted to hurt Maria again

He wanted to physically assault her and this was what he would do for sure. He held her from her hair.

"I would make sure that I make you learn lesson every night in the room. I would make sure that you beg for the mercy from me and I would reject your plea every time you ask me to"

Maria felt hurt, her hair started breaking from the roots. She felt so dead at the moment. She tried to resist but Hinata pushed her to the wall. He came nearer and near. He pushed himself in Maria again.

"I would make sure that every inch of your body ask for mercy and I would not give it to you."

Maria stayed silent. She was disgusted, hurt and angry but she stopped resisting him now. She wanted her to do whatever he want to.

"do whatever you want to, but remember one thing , your tribesmen, your mom, they would not get back by doing so."

"Do not challenge me you foolish bitch, I would destroy you. You will dance with the devil till you die and I would punish you in a way that you will die every day in your remaining days"

Hinata said that and she remembered an echo in her head

"you dance with the devil and it changes you."
