Chapter Seventeen: Back to the Past!

Alice:

Several gruff voices echoed in my ringing ears, my blurry vision clearing up. Kicking the bottom of a black iron cage, this couldn't be that great. Sy stirred behind me, our hands tied together with a single piece of silver rope. Cloaked figures chanted around us, an elderly man stepping forward. His golden robes danced around his worn black boots, his bald head shining in the light. A single ice blue light bounced around his cloudy eyes, the wrinkles telling a twisted tale. My red eyes fell on his soul, terror paling my face. The shadow of death corrupted his soul, a demon controlling his body. Fantastic! It wouldn't be a day in the office without someone coming after us.

"Who is the demon that is possessing this head priest of this occult?" I demanded curiously, adventure twinkling in my eye. "Are they dead, too?" Motioning for them to lower their dusty hoods, nausea wracked my stomach at the sight of their rotting faces. Maggots squirmed underneath their gray skin, their eye sockets were empty black holes. A dull orange glowed in the center of their eyes, the flames of Hell animating their bodies. Strangled snarls tumbled from their lips, the dead witches' palms pressing together. Sweat beaded on my forehead, Sy bit his bottom lip. Black blood dripped over his chin, his groggy expression not helping our case for escape. The demon refused to answer, Sy's head bumping into mine. Damn, that hurt!

"He is going to unleash the flames of Hell on us." He whispered discreetly, burning the rope tying our hands together. "We won't have our magic for a bit, so we need to use our wits. Can I count on you, Pumpkin?" Wiggling a couple of the bars with the heel of my boot, a whole side of the cages clattered to the floor. Sprinting out, the demon was doomed to finish his spell. Sprinting down random halls, the decaying walls of an abandoned factory taunted me. Green moss claimed the stained concrete walls, Sy dragging me behind him. Black iron arrows whizzed by our head, the dead witches' cackles echoing around the hollow space. Black blood poured from my ears, the cackling growing louder. Bursting into a large yard, rusting metal rested in tall stacks lining a narrow way into a thick forest. Dried leaves crunched underneath our boots, the animals growing quiet. A humming noise rang out in the night, the scene shifting to black and white.

"Where are we?" I stammered nervously, black iron spears pressing into our backs. Raising our hands up in the air, black iron chains wrapped around our waists. Glancing down, confusion dawned in our eyes. A thick black Victorian dress hugged my body, the white lilies lining the deep v-neck, his silk black Victorian suit contrasting his silver vest. A top hat rested on the top of his head, the simplicity of our outfits contrasting the ornate white guard uniforms. Medals dripped off of their chests, Sy groaning to himself.

"We must have stumbled upon a time loop." He explained calmly, his head bowing in shame. "This is where I might have attempted to kill the infamous Lord Artemis to create Halloween Street. This isn't on Earth, but in another dimension pocket. In order to escape, we have to kill Lord Artemis which I failed to do. I have a sneaking suspicion that he is the demon possessing that priest. So if we kill him here, he doesn't exist in the future." What he said made sense, the rules of magic driving me nuts. Pressing my lips into a thin line, the guards yanked us towards a large Tudor mansion. Scarlet brick lined the bottom of the cream walls, the dark wood contrasting the light color masterfully. Several stained glass windows glowed in the inky black darkness, candles flickering in each window.

"Lord Artemis wishes to speak to you." A cranky guard grumbled bitterly, pulling us through two heavy cherry wood doors. My face paled, a silver haired gentleman stepping forward. His black velvet suit hugged his tall seven foot tall frame, his inky black eyes glistening with excitement. Running his hand through his slicked back hair, his finger traced my cheeks. My powers were null and void, Sy rolling his eyes. Quiet rage simmered in his eyes, thunderous growls rumbled in his throat.

"You stumbled into my trap, you rotten bastard." He snapped hotly, his fangs brushing the nape of my neck. "I feel like I have met you before, beautiful lady. Will you do me the honor of a quick bite? You smell delicious." Cupping the sides of my face, his fangs sank into my neck. A flurry of endless killing poisoned my mind, the pure torture of it all causing a shrill scream to explode from my lips. Every nightmare of a memory coursed through my mind, the worst ones replaying like a movie. Slamming my knee into his groin, a squeal poured from his lips. Stumbling back, his fingers wrapped around my throat. Licking my neck, shivers shot up my spine.

"Just stand here like a good girl, and I won't hurt the child in your womb." He threatened menacingly, his hand resting on my bump. "Sounds like more than one in there. They are twins to be exact, and I would love to raise them myself as your true husband. You are a pure breath of the whitest snow, sparkling in my eyes." Lifting up my chin, his lips smashed aggressively into mine. Biting down, the sound of his guzzling my blood nauseated me. Black iron chains curled up his arms, metallic wings bursting from his back. Releasing me from his spell, his eyes fell on the fuming Sy behind me.

"I challenge you to a duel, you know the kind where one of us dies." He announced stiffly, licking the blood off of my lips. "The prize is your wife and unborn children, the very thought of her in my chains attached to my soul excites me so much that I could blow my load right now." Licking his lips, his eyes rolled back in pleasure. The chain dropped from our waist, Sy stepping forward with his blade. The guitar part of his blade doubled in size, his neck crack with each cock. Determination burned in his eyes, Lord Artemis' chains twisted into a giant blade.

"I accept, but you have to actually die this time." Sy thundered, raising his blade in the attack position. "I want your blade as the prize, that is my mother's weapon after all. You have no right wielding it." Renkin popped up, an annoyed sigh leaving his lips. Tying his hair into a bun, he adjusted his black velvet suit. Snapping his fingers, a red velvet chair matching his lifted me up to the sky. Black iron chains curled around my wrists and ankles, a snarl curling on my lips.

"What gives!" I barked venomously, Renkin rolling his eyes. "I wasn't going to he-" His brows raised with doubt, his head shaking. Rubbing the back of his neck, a nervous grin danced across his lips. Afraid to piss me off, the corner of his lips twitched. Apparently I could be a bit terrifying at times, everyone still frightened of me.

"Technically you are a prize, so you are trapped in that chair until Sy wins." He explained calmly, clapping his hands. "You may now begin." Battle cries erupted from their lips, a wave of energy smashing Artemis back.

"Why do I feel like his true power is hidden underneath the energy attacks?" I pondered out loud, Renkin nodding in agreement. "What is it?" Motioning for me to look, black flames mixed with the other elements. My jaw dropped down, Renkin picking it up. The ground quaked, his power immense. My thighs rubbed together, his hair flying around his face. Charging at each other, sparks mixed with ash the moment their blades clashed violently. Equally matched, the locked position allowed them to shout insults at each other. Leaning into his attack, Artemis kicked him into the nearby wall. Seeing him so powerful made me crave every inch of him.

"He can manipulate all of the elements at once." He continued tiredly, resting his head on my shoulder. "I see the collar around your neck. Still playing I see." Watching them bounce around as flashes of light, my eyes couldn't keep track of them. Clearing my throat, Artemis floated in front of us for a moment. Bruises and cuts covered his face, several spikes of the four elements combined sticking out of his back. A different Sy launched up next to him, both of his eyes a sea of inky blackness. Unable to do anything, his blade slid through his body repeatedly. Waves of energy smashed the mangled body of Artemis around, the final blow slicing off his head. Black blood painted my skin, this front row seat proving to be messing. Wiping my face off with my sleeves, the chains faded away. Artemis decayed to ash, the time loop cracking. Clapping his hands, a piece of his hair was the only thing that remained in the chair. Chilly air lashed at my cheeks, my wings exploding from my back. Slowing my fall, my feet landed gracefully. The damn dress still hugged my body, the skirt flowing over the ground. A black fox tail caught my attention, the torn clothes telling me that he was gone. If I didn't get us out of here, we would be trapped in eternal darkness. Scooping up his weapons, my trembling fingers tied them to my back. Charging forward, he was dangerous in his fox form. All I needed to do was grab onto him in the next ten minutes, cold dirt smacking my face the moment I tripped over a gnarly root. The crack of my ankle twisting echoed in still air, my teeth gritting in pain. Struggling to my feet, my body collapsed to my knees. Sick wolves gathered around me, the matted fur sticky with black blood. Foam dripped from the rows of rotting teeth. Circling me, the snarls sent chills up my spine. My wings folded away, my powers still weren't strong enough yet to fend them off. Kicking up a cloud of dirt, my ankle screamed out in pain as I leapt over them. Pushing through the dull throb, my boots sprinted deeper into the woods. Howls echoed in the air, my fingers shoving medium sized pebbles into my pocket. My face paled, cold sweat dripping off of my brow. Panic gripped my face, a dozen paws chasing after me. Branches clawed at my face, the thinness of them not allowing me to escape into the trees to avoid these rabid creatures. Pressing my lips into a thin line, this wasn't going my way. Spinning a pebble in my palm, my wrists flicked one into the center of the alpha's forehead. The rock smashed through his skull, sorrowful howls erupted as the body collapsed to the loose dirt. Scooping the rest of them out, my wrists flicked the rest of the pebbles. One by one the broken creatures thudded to the forest floor, a large onyx paw blocking my path. A black snout snuggled into the palms of my hand. Ruby eyes glistened with tears, a black portal swirling behind us. Sliding me onto his snout, my bloody sleeves wiped his tears away. Walking through the portal, the burnt remains of Halloween Street taunted me. His three shadow children bounced up to him, their souls trapped in this cursed realm. Unable to change back, the devastating vision of the torched remains kept him in his fox form. My heart shattered for him, the remains only remind him of his failure.

"Did you come back to get us?" They chirped cheerfully, yanking me off of Sy. "He will be fine. Just give him a few minutes. Come along." Nodding in approval, he laid down. Snores shook the blackened dirt, ash still snowing around me. Ash clung to my hair, my palms pressing against the ash covered street. There was only one way to fix this, my powers coursing through me. Part of me wanted to make this place home once more, many of our first moments happening here.

"Turn back the hands of time, bring what is dead back to life." I chanted confidently, salty teardrops mixed with ash. Black energy bathed the land, an ebony pumpkin home rose from the ashes. A gust of wind blowing the ash into the scarlet street, black iron street lamps rumbled from the golden dirt. Golden flames flickered to life, jack-o-lanterns lined the golden street. My boots marched up to the slumbering giant fox. Crouching down to his snout, my palms rubbed the fluffy fur. Ruby eyes opened slowly, my hands guiding his head towards the new home. Hope glistened in my eyes, my desire to please him leading my actions

"I know that it isn't quite how you created it, but I wanted to return your one source of joy." I sobbed softly, hoping he would change back. "Please come back to me." Bones cracked, his form shrinking back down. Clutching me close to his chest, the corner of his lips twitched. Tears of joy flooded from his eyes, his lips kissing mine feverishly. Pinning me to the street, his tears plopped onto my face. Thank goodness. He really did like it!

"Thank you so much." He blubbered brokenly, his hands cupping mine. "I love you so much. You gave me back my home. No, our home." My thighs rubbed together, his arms scooping me up. His lips brushed the top of my head, his eyes falling on the walls of total darkness protecting the street. Bowing my head in shame, he pressed his palm to the sleek surface. Scarlet lilies spread like the sea, my breath hitching at the fluttering petals.

"Let these be a gift for you." He continued warmly, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. "Although nothing shines quite like your beauty." Crimson colored my cheeks, a gentle chuckle tumbling from his lips. Sprinting towards our new home, his fingers wrapped around the ruby glass handle. Taking a deep breath, he pushed the door open. The inside matched before, the only difference was a dusty gray wallpaper and professional level kitchen with metal counters. Two heavy onyx crystal doors led into the bedroom, the three shadow children bouncing off of the red velvet couches. Opening the doors cautiously, painted white birch trees decorated the walls. Cardinals and blue jays flew on the ceiling, his jaw dropping to the ground. A rod iron bed frame with black leather restraints on each of the four ornate posts taunted me, my boots clicking on the worn floorboards. Rushing over to a sleek black metal cabinet, my slender fingers popping it open. Drool dripped from the corner of my lips, several whips and floggers glistened in the lights. The rubies dripped on the handles, rubber claw protectors resting in the bottom.

"Can you take me, Sy?" I pleaded desperately, exchanging my collar for a ruby crusted piece of leather. "I would love to please you." Sliding on the rubber claw protectors, his cock hardened. A black tail popped out, black fox ears twitching on the top of his head. Getting on his knees, tingles shot up my spine as he peeled off my boots sensually. Grazing his lips over my legs, his trembling fingers rolled the ancient stockings down. Climbing on top of me, his finger traced my cheeks. Tugging on the white ribbon in the back, the thick material loosened. Sliding it off lustfully, his lips brushed against the nape of my neck. Tossing it aside, he struggled with the skirt. Yanking it over my head, he fiddled with the ivory under dress. An emerald corset traced my slight bump while emphasizing my tender breasts, his fingers wrapped around the black comb holding my hair up. White curls tumbled to the side, my nerves crying out for him to touch every inch of me. The collar clanked as he hooked it around my neck, my excitement brewing the moment he tugged it one last time. The scarlet chain cascaded over his fingers, his hands cupping my face. His tail wagged, his ears pinning back.

"This is my true form. I have been hiding my ears and tail this whole time." He admitted sheepishly, his shame shattering my heart. "I thought I should show you everything. I thought you would hate me. The demon children would all make fun of me for it." Bowing his head, his bangs hid his eyes. Lifting up his chin, my fingers wiped away her tears. Kissing his forehead, his head snuggled into my palm.

"As if I ever really cared about that crap. I love you for you." I joked tenderly, my lips locking with his sweetly. "I find you even sexier than before. Maybe I can bite your ears now. Would that please you, my sweet Sy?" Getting on my haunches, my fangs bit his left ear. A surprised gasp escaped his lips, his hands grabbing my hips aggressively. Pausing for a moment, my loving eyes met his dazed ones.

"Do it again." He stuttered uncontrollably, his extended claws digging into my hips. "That feels so good." Biting his ear once more, his tail curled around my waist. Seeing him so lost in pleasure caused my thighs to rub together. Taking a break from biting him, he shook his head.

"Again!" He begged adorably, fresh tears flooding from his eyes. "Nobody has ever loved me for being me." Shoving his head into my chest, his tears soaked my breasts. Playing with his ears, his fangs sank into the pale tissue of my breasts. A tender moan left my lips, his fangs biting me all over. Each bite made me scream, a wicked grin spreading cheek to cheek on both of our faces. Licking the bites, shivers shot up my spine. The tender way he licked them caused goosebumps to pop up, his hands sliding up to my shoulders.

"You taste so good." He moaned in pure ecstasy, his claws tracing my arms. "I love you so much, Pumpkin." Continuing to lick my bite marks, my control slowly slipped away. Sinking further into his spell, my claws extended from my fingernails. Kissing every mark, my body twitched with a newfound bliss. Scratching my skin sensually, he laid me back. Blood dripped from my wounds, his fingers tracing the new scratches. Licking the scratch, my fingers grasped the black velvet blankets. Smirking in my direction, he ran his hands up my thighs. Stopping at the ivory lace boy shorts, his claw tore the fragile lace into pieces. My thighs rubbed together, this session already having me halfway to pleasure town.
