My Husband is an Orge Chapter 3

"Look, What we have for you Demon!"

They pushed Aine forward causing her to fall forward on to the bloody floor. The rough uneven stone scratch at her skin and coated her clothes in a mix of blood and possible mud. The Demon ignored her and growled at Kira. Aine raised her head to look at it and caught the sound of a guttural speech that was obviously not human. Its words made her spine tingle and the hairs on her neck stand on end as it seemed to yell at Kira. Kira seemed to laugh at it as though the being itself seemed so pathetic. So weak. But, This being or creature wasn't weak if anything he radiated a type of power and dominance that reminded her of a predator. He watched them all with an alertness that reminded her of absolute danger. This being was tied up for a reason and kept that way. She moved passed the man and towards Aine were she grabbed her hair and pulled her up till she could face him. " Do you want to know more about the story, Aine?' Kira asked while shaking Aine's head in such a wave it caused discomfort to burning along her scalp. When she didn't answer Kira shock her again hoping to get Aine to answer. Aine gritted her teeth as she answered, " F***K you!". The demon seemed to like that as he laughed in response.

Kira yanked hard causing Aine to let out a yelp of pain but Aine only answered the same. " I said Fuck you, Bi..." A spark of light dotted her vision as Kira slammed her fist into Aine's face. Blood dotted her tongue When she did it again then again in till all she could taste was that coopery metal along with it. Then, Kira slammed her face forward into the stone sending a burst of pain above her eye before she kept her there. The weight of what felt to be a heavy booted heel in the base of her spine kept her still. Aine could here her panted breath and in some weird way, she was happy to give the woman some sort of fight. Maybe it was her fear or basic understanding that she might not get out of this place alive. If she was going to die it would die cursing and fighting.

"The lord sealed his son in this cave and bound him with a special rope blessed by the nearby monks of the mountain. But, The rope couldn't hold him forever so the monks told them of a ritual. A bloody and dark ritual that would bind his son to the cave for years. Do you want to know what it is Aine?" When she didn't answer Kira continued." It was the heart of a woman and the blood of a woman. But not any woman, A woman who could enter the barrier that surrounded his land. And, You dearie are one of those women. You see your blood is special and mixed with his will my village enough of a chance to survive his wrath and live a little longer." She looked up to smile at the man. "Another Ten years with me. How much fun we will have together won't we."

The demon growled a threat. He snapped his arm forward causing the chains to pull tight from the wall. The action sent a bolt of electricity through the air causing the hair on Aine's neck to raise Kira to let out a laugh as the electricity intensified. She looked down at Aine and smiled " It's time." She pulled her booted heal off of Aine's back letting the man take her place. He didn't keep her head down but instead, he grabbed her hair and forced her to her knees once more.

Kira withdrew a long six-inch blade from the sleeve of her robe. The blade was menacing in design with black marking engraved all along the blade."This heart of his never ceases to amaze me." She whispered as she bent down towards it. She reached grabbing it from the floor as though it was a precious jewel. Blood streamed through her fingers as Kira looked towards the man and smiled. "Shall we begin." She turned towards the demon and raised the heart towards him. She began to chant, the words wild and unknown but somehow it made the air change into something menacing. They felt forbidden as though no being alive should know about them. The sound of it made a chill run up her spine and a piercing pain shoot straight through her skull. She tried not to scream but it was futile. The heart began to beat in time with her words and with every verse, it seemed to beat faster and faster till the blood ran fresh from her fingertips staining her hands and the floor beneath her. Slowly, Kira slid the blade through the beating heart. The air began to charge once more as sparks erupted through the air changing form in till they began bolts of lighting.

The horned man let out a roar as the storm charge struck his body and burns fractured along his skin creating lines of black along his arms and neck. His eye darkened and grew from their own crimson red to midnight black. His skin grew whiter while his hair seemed to part making way for the second set of long curved horns. Kira laughed as bolts of laughing struck her and the demon. "The girl. Bring me the girl." she laughed as another bolt struck at her face charing the skin there till it was a black misshapen mask. Aine clawed at the hand as it forced her up and towards Kira. She was scared, tears streamed down her face from the pain and fear. She looked to be something of nightmares with the way her skin was burned. She pulled the knife from the heart causing the blood to splatter across the floor and robes. She grabbed at Aine's neck her grip unhuman like as she held her in place. She gave Aine one last smile before she drove the knife straight through her heart.

Aine's eye glazed over becoming a milky white as lines of black and red spread from the knife wound at her heart to the rest of her body. The lines themselves became like cracks in a mirror as they fractured her skin into tiny chip-sized pieces. The pain of the fracture was unbearable but she could only let her tears silently fall as her skin began to break apart. "Kira! You can't do this much longer. Hurry and finish it or you'll break too." The man said as He watched Kira be struck once more. She didn't answer but instead chanted louder and faster than before as she twisted the knife and shattered Aine. The act sent a burst of energy cascading through the cavern healing Kira and binding the demon in a crimson light that pressed his body back into the wall sealing him in a mix of bedrock and tree roots.

Kira collapsed falling to the floor with exhaustion. The man rushed to her side and eased her into his lap with a look of pure concern. She would be exhausted and tired from what she had just done but he would be there to nurse her as he always was. He never looked back as he carried her from the cave. He never looked back because his job was done and know it was time to rest. And, so he never looked back to see the glowing mark on the demon's chest or hear the sound of a steady new heartbeat.
