You rule! - Heather ***** Wasted Days ***** Ophelia stared at the demon merchant. Her eyes never leaving the basket of fruit around his waist as he made amends with an armored Nephilim. There were shiny red apples free from brown spots and scratches, ripe pears the color of champagne, grapes without seeds still attached to the vine, orchid plums that glistened gallantly in the sunlight; Strawberries, cherries, pomegranates, any kind of fruit imaginable all contained within the basket. Ophelia longed for them all. It had been days she had eaten properly. She had neglected her hunger, but when he-Vulgrim - had brought the barrel, she was ravenous. Alas, she was afraid of him. As she was of every passing Nephilim who so much as glanced her way. This whole ordeal had reminded her of The Goblin Market. Ophelia could just picture herself as the sister who had fallen into temptation of the fruit. It made her even more weary than before at the prospect of that metaphor. She had arrived three mornings ago on horseback as Vulgrim had told her. Truthfully, she hadn’t remembered much save for what had happened before her arrival. After that, everything went to black. Ophelia sighed and rested her head against a weeping willow not even daring to ask Vulgrim for so much as an apple. He scared her. It didn’t matter how charming he appeared to be. Her wrists and feet were bound by a pair of rusted shackles tied to a couple of gnarled, uprooted stumps if she planned an escape. Even she thought that was silly of him to do. Where, on Earth or wherever she was, would she possibly run to? Vulgrim had dressed her in a cream white tunic complete with a headband of equally white roses. Almost a hundred Nephilim had bidded on her already. One going so far in attempt to rip her tunic. Vulgrim had stolen it from a fallen angel upon one of his scouting’s. He was thinking of selling it when the armored Nephilim made him a deal over Ophelia who left off with an antique stalker’s bone dagger. Upon Ophelia’s waking, she screamed and tried kicking him even spat at him. It wasn’t until he had managed to drug her with one of his elixirs that she calmed down enough to allow Vulgrim to bathe her free of the layers of dirt, dust, and debris that had claimed her skin. Once he finished, he dried her off with a makeshift towel, dressed her only in the angel’s tunic allowing her to keep her panties underneath, and led her to a stone-table that contained a primitive hairbrush, various pallets of eyeshadow, blush lipstick, and a long gold tube of mascara. “Where did you get this?” Ophelia asked in a dream pointing to the possessions. “Off an angel, of course.” Vulgrim said curtly. “Did you kill her?” Ophelia’s voice sounded distant; albeit still accusatory. Vulgrim giggled sounding much like a hyena. “You really find me the murderous type? I am but a simple merchant. I only take what I can sell. Now, make yourself look approachable. You have precisely five minutes.” Ophelia feeling like she had just awoken from a long, long slumber studied the eyeshadow pallet. The makeup itself was the color of sand on pair with her brown eyes giving her the appearance of an Egyptian goddess. Ophelia started on her hair. Running sleepy strokes through her red wet knots and tangles. The soap he had washed her with was lilac scented. Not her first choice, but that hardly mattered to her right now. She was glad to be rid of the dirt and grime that once caked her skin. Once she was done, she applied the eye makeup. Vulgrim appeared in the middle of finishing her eyeshadow. He was holding what looked to be a wreath. “Here, wear this.” Vulgrim’s alligator smile becoming wider as his eyes took in her appearance. She will make a lot of Nephilim happy. Of that I am for certain. Ophelia now felt like a whole new alias. She was not just some whore. She was a scared, exhausted, human girl who should have been with her mother back at the shelter. Ophelia longed to hold herself like her mother would when she was frightened. The enticement of the fruit now waning. The dins of the Nephilim as they made lewd remarks, Vulgrim’s chides all made her wish to be away even more. Defeated, alone, depressed and still suffering from the after effects of that strange drug Vulgrim had given her, she rested her head on the tree and closed her eyes. Those damn monsters. Through the cabinet. The rubble. My mother… Ophelia awoke in horror to the digging of claws riving at her tunic. She screamed as she was met face to face with a Nephilim who looked to have pebbles plastered onto his face like growths. His eyes appeared swollen and dangerous like a jackal’s. “Stop! What are you doing?!” Ophelia helplessly struggled as the bust ripped in half. Giving him a view of her breasts in plain sight. This proved an interesting sight for the other Nephilim as well. For they were already jeering at her attacker. Ophelia screamed at him to the fit of tears to leave her alone. However, Vulgrim intervened. “Enough! I will not have you defiling my slave if you cannot so much as bid on her. Show me your souls. Only then may you use her as you please.” He barked. The attacker only grunted and turned on his heels. Ophelia remained sobbing. Vulgrim glared down at her in disbelief. “Brush yourself off, slave. He didn’t hurt you. You should be lucky that other Nephilim brought you here. Otherwise you would’ve ended up like the rest your kind or worse.” With that, he left. Ophelia scowled at him and tried fixing her shredded tunic over her breasts. Slave. That was all he referred to her as. Vulgrim never once bothered to ask her name, let alone her age. She guessed that was just regular procedure which infuriated her even more that situations like hers were considered “regular procedure”. The chains scratched at her skin. She groaned. Fearing tetanus from the amount of rust on them. Over a hundred of those psychos are bidding on me right now and all I’m afraid of is tetanus? Even if she could slip out of her shackles somehow, where would she go? She was in an open space. Kind of. A valley, nearly looking like the ones back on Earth. Save for many of Vulgrim’s charms hung from every nook and cranny to entice a fellow customer. Souls  of who? A few minutes later Vulgrim appeared with a painted jug of cool water. Ophelia drank it in mouthfuls. “Enjoy it while you can my slave. You must keep hydrated.” Vulgrim sneered taking it back once she was finished. “Please, may I have some fruit?” She timidly asked, wiping her mouth. Vulgrim grinned down at her with his sharp jagged teeth that reminded her so much of an alligator. “For something so ethereal,” he began beguilingly “there is an equally ethereal fee.” Again, with the riddles. “You sold my book bag yesterday. How am I supposed to pay for it?” Ophelia replied grudgingly. Upon discovering her bag, Vulgrim had held it for an auction the day previous. Ophelia had watched in horror as the new holder ransacked it. Flipping through her drawing book, her schoolbooks, pressing on the screen of her phone. Ophelia wanted so badly to break free of her cuffs and jump on his back, screaming at him to release it. Vulgrim only sniggered. “Sweet, sweet slave. There is still so much you need to learn. If fruit is what you truly desire, then feed my desire. I will unlock those restricting shackles if you come to terms with my deal. Can you do that?” Ophelia’s stomach paned from hunger. “Yes.” She said casting her eyes down. “Good girl.” Vulgrim hovered over to her producing keys from his belt. Once he unlocked them, he took her sharply by the arm. His sharp nails digging into her flesh. Ophelia winced. “Now, go to your bedchamber and undress.” “What?” Ophelia whipped her head at him. Imagining herself looking like a frightened girl from Woodstock. “Calm yourself. I’m not planning on defiling you. That is not my place. Now go your bed chamber and undress.” He repeated. Ophelia narrowed her eyes at him then stomped off. You fucking auction me off now plan to use my body as a means to an end? Oh, God what is he planning on doing to me? Ophelia began trembling as she undid her tunic and stepped out of her panties. She could have begun crying again if she hadn’t spotted Vulgrim’s silhouette in the hallowed-out doorway on time. Ophelia placed her tunic on the bed frame and took a seat on the end of the bed which was nothing more than a cot made entirely of sticks and a mattress that was overstuffed with feathers. She quickly grabbed the blanket of some unfortunate beast’s furs to cover up. “Face me, good girl.” Ophelia looked at him pleadingly. This has gone too far… “Now slave, take that blanket off.” Ophelia reluctantly obliged. Please, please, I can’t do this. I can’t. It was never meant to be like this! Ophelia began to panic. “Hush. I’m not going to rape you. Take it off and spread your legs.” Ophelia, beyond despair did as the demon commanded. “Don’t fucking touch me!” She screamed as he came closer to her. “As tempting as that sounds,” began Vulgrim “I want you to show me what you know instead.” “What? You can’t be serious!” Ophelia whined. Vulgrim scowled. “I take it that you’re not hungry anymore?” Ophelia hushed. She couldn’t even remember when she had last done this exact same thing.   The Nephilim became silent as the din of hooves sounded from across the valley, up the boulders, and echoing amongst the trees and up to the now foggy sky. The creatures that had been lounging in the trees scattered into various knotholes. The only sounds in the crowded area were the squawking of a peculiar crow. “Dust.” The gravelly voice of their brother reprimanded. The bird took his seat on the mount of the rider. Most of the Nephilim only glared at him, others casted their gazes down to their sabatons refusing to meet their brother’s face. His fiery eyes remained forward. His thoughts however, remained elsewhere. He had heard talk of their being a human still alive. A female nonetheless. Vulgrim promptly greeted him from the entrance of his setup. “Welcome Horseman.” The demon purred. The rider dismounted. “Vulgrim. I heard talk of a human female.” “So you did. I had a feeling you would come.” “Well then. Bring her to me.” “Not so fast, Death. I require a fee, naturally.” Death grunted. “What is it you demand this time demon?” Vulgrim smirked. “The heart of a Suffering.” Death produced the thing hidden from within his tattered robes. It was still warm, throbbing, and bloody. Vulgrim giggled and greedily took the bleeding flesh into his claws. Death waited patiently, but not without revulsion - until Vulgrim had finished devouring the oversized organ. His tongue snaking out to lick the pulp off his lips.  “Now, come with me.” The demon enticed gesturing to the makeshift tent. Death grunted and made his way to the entrance. “She’s very submissive. Untouched as far as I’m concerned. One of your brethren brought her in the other morning. You should have seen her, she was terrified. Vulgrim rattled on as he held the tent open for Death to enter. The girl had just finished the fruit Vulgrim had provided her with. At Death’s intrusion, she immediately began to panic. Her chest rising with every small breath as she crawled over to the bedpost. Death reached his hand out to stroke her cheek. Savoring the feel of her shiver underneath his cold flesh. “W-who are you?” She integrated before grabbing the blanket and wrapping it around her naked body. “Stop stuttering! And get dressed. You belong to me now.” Death demanded. Ophelia only glared at him. “I belong to you? No, I don’t belong to anyone! I can’t be here anymore.” Death’s eyes burned with fury. They started to scare her. With a bone crushing grip, Death grabbed Ophelia by the wrist causing her and the blanket as well, to fall off the bed. “What are you doing? Let me go, fucker!” Ophelia was in hysterics. “I have no problem breaking your wrist if that’s what you would prefer. It would make it much easier for me.” His grip tightened causing the girl to scream out in pain. Ophelia finally shushed. “No, no please don’t.” “Good girl. Now get dressed.” Death let go with such force that she fell to the ground. “Please, where am I going? What are you going to do to me? I’ve lost everyone I know.” She began to cry again. “Stop that. Of course, I know what happened to you. Why else would you be here?” Ophelia looked up at him. Oblivious to the fact that her mouth was just inches away from his growing length. Vulgrim was right. She was submissive; helpless. She had no one. She was all alone. The only one of her group to have lived the massacre. Death grinned as he took in her naked flesh. “Can’t you look away please?” Ophelia whined, trying her best to cover herself. “I am not in the favor of taking orders from a slave girl. I can look at you however and whenever I want to. Don’t you forget that.” There was an edge to his voice. Ophelia gave her new master a reproachful look before slipping her panties and tunic back on. “What is your name?” Death asked in barely a whisper. “Ophelia.” “How old are you Ophelia?” “Seventeen.” “Still just a young one.” Ophelia didn’t know what to say. “Who are you?” She forced herself to meet his face. “Death.” The name brought chills to her skin. Death? No way… Death made his way toward the girl who tried her best to comprehend what he had just said. He approached her with what looked to be a collar and a leash. “What is that for?” Ophelia panicked, beginning to back away. “You really think I’m just going to let you walk out of here? You’re mine now Ophelia. Every. Fucking. Bit. Of You. Is mine.” Ophelia froze at his tone. He placed the collar around her neck. The leather scratched her, acting more like a choker than an actual collar. He slipped the leash in and gave it a small tug to make sure it worked. Ophelia felt humiliated. Her cheeks burned as she casted her gaze down. Her breathe heaving at the feel of the foreign material on her skin. Death examined her. She looked so vulnerable, so meek. “Tell me, are you a virgin?” “Huh?” Ophelia had to meet his eyes to make sure she had heard him right. “Are you deaf? I asked if you’re still a virgin. Have you ever been fucked before?” Ophelia bit her lip at his words. “No. I’m a virgin.” She choked out. “Oh good. Young and untouched.” Death turned his way to stroke her cheek once more. Ophelia had to force herself to will away the urge to rip off her collar and choke him with it. Instead she refused to meet his gaze. One harsh yank was all it took to urge her out of her fantasy. “Come Ophelia. It is time to meet my brothers.” “Br-brothers?” She rasped. “Yes.” Her legs felt so stiff as she tried to catch up to his long pace. Dust cawed a greeting from above. Ophelia watched him encircle them twice before taking his seat on her new master’s shoulders. With one bone crushing hand on her leash, he stroked the bird’s greasy feathers with his other. Ophelia watched this bizarre scene with a feeling of ice chips in her heart. The rest of the Nephilim only stared at the duo. Some watched with lust at the sight of the young human woman on the leash. All Ophelia felt was stomach knots and despair. “Walk faster! You’re lagging.” Death snapped. Ophelia readily sped her pace. Death came to a halt next to one of the boulders. “Why are we stopping?” Ophelia’s voice shook preparing for whatever he planned on doing to her whether it was a smack or an attempt to rape her. Death grunted and muttered to himself in a strange archaic language. What language is that? Out of nowhere, his stead appeared. Ophelia screamed as the horse’s whiny pierced the air. His long, flowing skeletal mane billowed in the cool air. Death approached the beast with all the coolness of an experienced trainer. “My God.” Ophelia couldn’t help but exclaim. “I reckon you’ve never seen a horse before?” Death taunted stroking Despair’s muzzle. “Not one…as unique as yours.” Ophelia chose her words carefully. “Hmph. His name is Despair.” Death tugged her closer. She winced at the feel of his cold skeletal fingers grabbing her waist and propping her on his horse. Death sat behind her carefully setting the leash in a way to avoid it from snagging. Had he already planned this through? Death gave a swift command to Despair who took up a steady gallop. Ophelia dug her fingers deep into his wispy mane abhorring the feeling of Death’s now digging nails into her flesh. “Please, you’re hurting me!” Ophelia cried over the gallop of hoofs. “I don’t recall a slave giving her master orders. As long as I’ve got you on this leash you obey me. I don’t care what the situation us. You are mine now. I tell you to undress you undress. I tell you to fuck me you fuck me. I tell you to scream. You scream.” His whispers sent chills through her as did the feel of his lips brushing against her earlobe. Death’s hands crept up to her chest. Ophelia shut her eyes as tight as she could while his cadaverous hands cupped her breasts firmly. He squeezed them twice. Going so far as to tweak and pinch her nipples. Stop stop You can’t do this to me this is my body you can’t stop stop stop please Ophelia felt hot tears course down her cheeks. Death snuggled her cheek. Ophelia whimpered at the feel of his cold, clay skin rubbing against her flushed wet cheek. “They’re so ripe even for someone so young. I can’t wait to taste them. To taste you. Don’t you know how lovely you will be Ophelia?” Death cuddled closer to her until she felt his stringy hair against her cheek, intertwine with hers. Ophelia trembled and sobbed until her eye makeup ran down her cheeks. “My brothers are going to cherish you.” Despair galloped faster. Ophelia saw through teary eyes that they were still in the valley. Hills glistened with little streams of water, lush grass and wild flowers blew steady in the breeze. White butterflies fluttered past them. The sun was setting against clouded skies; producing an orange magenta sorbet sky. However, this tranquil scenery did not last long. It was quickly masked by a sudden fog up ahead that was so thick she couldn’t see what was ahead. If there even was anything ahead. “They’re ashes.” Death said placidly as if reading her thoughts. He kept a firm grip on her body. “Ashes? Please Death where are we going? And what did you mean by brothers?” She stopped herself. Afraid he would hurt her for speaking without permission. “Yes. War, Strife, and Fury. The rest of the Horsemen. I am the eldest of the three.” Horsemen? Ophelia felt dizzy. As if she were about to faint. Her heart fluttered like a butterfly in her chest. Death felt her falter in his arms. “Stop that. Sit up!” Death growled. Too late. Exhausted from sleep deprivation and shock, she grew limp in his arms. Falling into a sleepy, starless outer space. She felt as if she were in some type of void. Ophelia found herself hazing in and out of consciousness upon awakening in a one-room chamber lit by only a few small candles on a candlebra. Her clothes were forlorn, save for her panties. The air was thick with the smell of dust, horse urine, and dung. She figured she was in a horse stable. Her wrists were bound up by rope, causing her knees to dig deep into the piles of hay scattered on the ground. There was a filthy cloth in her mouth pressing uncomfortably against her tongue, prompting her to dry gag. She could only whimper in fear at the many possibilities about what would happen next. Just then, she heard a door open on the opposite side of the room. As the blinding light flooded into the stable she could make out empty mangers that had long since rusted, a couple horse saddles, and a riding crop. She could only whimper in fear at the prospect of what that they could be used for. Judging by the mangy tendrils of black hair, it was him. Death shut the rust- hinged door quietly behind him and approached her with the calmness of a horsemaster approaching his stead. She could hear his sabatons crunch in the hay as he made his way toward her. He kneeled beside her and stared at her scrutinizing her terrified expression and body. Ophelia turned her head away as she felt those dirty fingernails stroke at her skin. He explored her face, her neck, her collarbone, stopping at her breasts where he fingered her nipple. Death brushed his thumb across her right one, only stopping once until it became flushed and erect. “Stop. Stop, please.” Ophelia stammered. Death ignored her. He pinched it with both fingers, pulling and squeezing making the girl whimper and thrash in her bounds. “You like this, don’t you?” Death then squeezed her breast hard enough to leave white subtle marks on her skin. Ophelia closed her eyes, tight. Trying to will her tears away. “N-no…” Her voice trembled. Death stopped abruptly with a grunt. He then bowed down on one knee and looked solemnly into her eyes. She didn’t like it one bit. “I’m going to unbind you. Try to run from me or attack me and I’ll do a lot more than touch you. If you obey me which is how it’s going to be from now on, I’ll allow you a bath and maybe even your own bedroom. Are we agreed?” Ophelia, hurting from the rope and exhausted beyond belief had no choice but to nod in agreement. “Good little slave girl.” Death’s words dripped with lust like a snake’s venom. He got back to his feet. With the lithe precision of a cat, he produced a scythe as tall as Ophelia herself. Even in the dim light she could see the shining of the blade. “Be still as I do this. I don’t want to cut you.” His voice became gentle. It chilled her more than when he raised it. Death took Ophelia into his arms after cutting the rope. He could feel her nipples harden against his flesh from the coldness of his skin. He found this fascinating. However, playing with his slave would have to wait until later when he could savor it. “Now prove to me that you can be a good girl and spread your legs for me. Then maybe I’ll allow you to have a bath later.” Ophelia couldn’t meet his gaze. “Here, let me help you take those off.” Death gently pushed her down to the hay. Ophelia whimpered and flailed as he took hold of her panties. Her hair falling into her eyes as the Nephilim slowly pulled them down from her legs. He delighted himself by stroking the inside of her inner thighs, commenting on how she had pretty skin. Ophelia, craving sleep only mewled in reluctance. Unknowing to her, this only fueled Death’s desires. He could feel his pants becoming painfully tight. Still, he had to wait to undo her fully. “Good girl.” Death purred. Ophelia whimpered as she felt his grimy fingers crawl up her spread thighs. He caressed her sex like he caressed her cheek. He smiled as he felt her shiver under his touch. His jagged nail grinded against her hidden bundle of nerves. Ophelia thrashed around in her chains wanting, praying to be free of this monster that was molesting her. Death poked and prodded at it until finally it became hard and engorged. Death could smell her now. Ophelia snapped. She cursed at him, screamed as he dove his fingers past her labia and into her tight cunt. “Fuck! No! They’re too big! You’re hurting me!” Ophelia pleaded, twisted, and mewled in pain, disgust, and pure fear. Death ignored her, enjoying the feel of her tight insides hugging his intruding fingers. His thumb swirled around her clitoris, stirring a combination of pleasure and pain. He continued assaulting her bundle of nerves for a couple more minutes until focusing his attention on her anus. He stuck the tip of his finger into her tight vestibule and swirled it around her clamping insides. He shoved his fingers deeper inside her pink flesh prompting more curses. “Curse all you want to girl. See where it gets you.” Death spat. Oh no….No! Death pushed his fingers deeper, deeper. Masturbation was supposed to be about self-indulgence not power or pain or control. All she felt now was repulsion. “I was going to wait until they saw you.” Death said pulling out of her too fast causing Ophelia to feel nauseous. “But you are being so fucking adorable right now.” Death began undoing his robes. Oh no no no no No! I’m not ready! “Please Death. Don’t do this! Please I can’t! I can’t! It was never supposed to be like this!” Ophelia’s head pounded from her tears. Death turned to her midway unto undoing his robes. Ophelia was met with his very knotted prick. It was roughly the same color as his skin. Save for the head which was a dark purple. Ophelia couldn’t take her eyes off it. “Suck it my little slave.” Ophelia had no words. “I said suck it!” Before a reaction could even slip across her mind, he grasped her head and shoved her face up to his cock. Ophelia had no choice but to take the thing into her mouth. She took as much as she could before gagging as it hit the back of her throat. It was freezing cold. She could feel the purple veins touch her sensitive flesh. Oh God what if he gets me sick? “Use your tongue pretty slave.” Death’s nails dug into her head. Ophelia forced herself to taste it. Her tongue was inexperienced as she tried licking it up and down only to be scolded by Death to really taste it; wrap her lips around his shaft and suck. Ophelia finally did so. Sucking long and hard, prompting Death to finally yank her from his being. “What in the name of the abyss are you doing?” He growled. “I’ve-I’ve never done this before. Please I’m new to it.” Ophelia sobbed. Death grunted. Ophelia braced herself, expecting to be struck. Instead, he chuckled and gave her brush on the cheek with his thumb. “Open your mouth wide and take as much of me as you can inside it.” Death commanded, softly. Ophelia did as she was told. She tried her best to disregard the unnatural coolness of his flesh. “Now suck.” Ophelia felt her eyes sting with tears as her tongue touched his icy skin. She sucked it hard. Once, twice... “I want to feel more of your tongue.” Ophelia pleadingly looked into her master’s eyes as she did so. Oh god eww..it’s so cold. It didn’t take long for Death to release. His trembling and throaty moans gave her insight. Suddenly, she felt his fingers twisting her hair and shuddered at the inhuman chill of his seed spilling inside her mouth. “Swallow it. Don’t you even dare spit any out.” Ophelia gulped as much of it as she could. She abhorred his earthy taste, the cold thick texture. Her stomach became knotted. Finally, Death pulled her away trailing her saliva from the base of his half-mast appendage. She only stared up at him, her eyes hazy. “You’ll learn.” Death cuddled her cheek with his knuckle, trying to catch his breath. Still her eyes remained fixed on his cock. “I’ll take you to clean up. Then you will meet my siblings.” Death began dressing leaving Ophelia draw her knees up to her chest. His taste still coated her tongue. She felt a stray drop run down her lip. Impulsively, she wiped it off. The horror in her eyes slowly churning to disgust as she saw that it was a light purple. Oh God I just swallowed that. Ophelia covered her mouth trying her best to hold back her vomit. Death walked over to a vintage trunk one might see on say a pirate ship. He pulled out an animal skinned blanket and crossed over to Ophelia. “Here. Wear this until we get to the castle.” He said half-heartedly. Castle? Ophelia shivered (had it suddenly dropped temperature?) and took the blanket without much reluctance. Death gently guided her out of the horse stable and into the charred grounds. Her bare feet digging into the sinking earth. The air was cool against her skin. Despair rolled around in the ashes in attempts to amuse himself while waiting for his master. With a curt whistle, Despair got back to his hooves and trotted at the ground impatiently as if saying “about time”. “Put this on.” Death coerced, holding the dreaded collar out to Ophelia. Ophelia took the awful thing with the readiness of a Stepford wife. Death produced the leash out from Despair’s saddle. He could feel himself once more become hard as he heard her mewl at the tightening of the fabric. The ride only took a couple of minutes. Yet to Ophelia, it felt endless. All she could sense was sleep deprivation. Her sleep pattern had been disrupted ever since her and her mother arrived at the high school shelter. No matter what time it was, there would always be a baby crying, a child needing to use the restroom, nightmares, sobbing, the guttural groans of the mouth-breather’s who roamed the streets, a beast’s screech…Ophelia was much too frightened to leave her mother’s side. It was her, her mother, and a couple of her good friends and of course, all their families who slept side by side in their sleeping cots together. All she had left. She was terrified of the thought of being separated from them after all they had been through. When it was completely silent which was exceptionally rare as there was nearly always someone awake or the sound of the Sky Terrors as some of the committee would call them, screeching their awful cry. Ophelia’s mother would hold her and sing to her some of her favorite lullabies as a little girl. Now, that was all just a memory. “We’ve arrived.” Death’s voice stirred her from her reminiscing. Ophelia couldn’t believe what she was staring at. It was as if she had stepped into a fairytale book. The piles and rain of ash had ceased. Now the sky was as pink and orange as a sorbet. With clouds that took on the hue of the setting sky. The sun was just setting. Surrounded by vibrant redwood trees was a castle at least seven stories high complete with towers and stained-glass windows. Moss and kudu enshrouded the brick exterior. Vegetation had completely overtaken this side of wherever they were. Ophelia couldn’t spot a speck of ash anywhere. She was taken aback to say the least. Despair came to a halt before the large wooden doors. “It’s beautiful.” Ophelia’s words came out as a whisper. “This is all we have left of our home. Mine has long since demolished ever since my brethren were revived.” “I’m sorry.” Do you actually here yourself right now? Suck up. “Don’t. You’ve done no wrong.” Death climbed off Despair’s back and held his arms out.  “Jump.” Ophelia did so gasping as he caught her. For a second, she was pressed against his cadaverous flesh. She could feel her nipples react to his freezing skin even through the heavy blanket. Their hearts beat in unison. Her quim became wet and warm. Death could smell her arousal. It made him hard and stiff. Gently, Death placed her down. “Come. I’ll take you to the bath.” Death lead her through the foyer which was dimly lit by a large glass chandelier that hung from a stained-glass ceiling overlooking cobblestone walls, two grand staircases and a primitive stone floor. Ophelia’s bare feet pattered alongside Death’s sabatons. “You’ll be sharing a room with me. How am I to know you won’t try to find some sharp object and try to stab me in my sleep. Or try to harm yourself. Even if that is the case, I can resurrect you Ophelia. No. I’m sure you wouldn’t want that.” At the word “resurrect” Ophelia’s face grew pale. “I have my ways, little one.” Death confided. Once in the hallway, Ophelia tried to turn her attention to the tapestry to the right of her. Stitched in was griffon standing proudly with its paw arched out. In front of it was a human man dressed in a cloak who looked like he was either trying to make amends with the beast or pacify it. Surrounding this scene were bizarre looking plants and flowers. To the opposite were three windows which overlooked the ashlands. Perhaps she was seeing things, but it looked as if there was something stalking in the distance. “Are there any bears or wolves here?” Ophelia asked with an edge to her voice. “Not any of that sort. There are creatures, but you need not to worry about them.” Ophelia kept looking ahead. Death told her that their bedchamber was four more floors up. Ascending all the stairs, the twists, turns, spirals, and windows overlooking the treetops made Ophelia feel dizzy and sick. She despised height ever since she went on her first roller coaster when she was ten. She hadn’t been ready even though she was just as excited as her friends were. She remembered afterwards crying and feeling goosebumps all over. It certainly wasn’t a happy thought. One she tried to push out of her head, yet the experience was exactly just like this.   “This is where we’ll be sleeping.” We? I’m gonna have to share a bed with this monster? She had been much too absorbed in her own musings that she had forgotten entirely about what Death had said about sharing a room. The bedchamber could have easily held another bedroom. With tapestries in between two stained glass windows, a wardrobe dresser, a vanity mirror and a window seat overlooking the ashlands, and trees from below. From ahead, Ophelia could spot various different realms. Death closed the door behind him. She heard it lock into place. She knew firsthand that this was a bad sign. “Take that thing off. I’ll pick out your clothes for you when you’re finished bathing. Or you can if you be a good girl.” “Okay.” Ophelia dropped the blanket to her feet. Out of her peripheral vision she could see all the dirt, scratches and scrapes that laid claim of her body in the mirror. Death lead her to the bathroom which was the door next to the bed. Ophelia had never seen one as luxurious as this. The bath was marbled with steps leading up. Directly above was a window looking up to the sky. Ophelia could only look at Death skeptically. Here was this frightening non-human living in such a pristine palace. “When we first came here.” Death said turning off the water. “The whole place was enshrouded with corpses. Naturally I took care of them. The rest of my brethren laid claim to half of the castle while I reside on this half. They know better than to bother me now. My…mother resides her as well. She remains far enough from us. You’re not allowed to visit her at any cost.” He said all this as if he was giving her free reign of the whole castle. And what could he possibly mean by mother? Death has a mother? Who is she? Pets? Mother? Well of course. Everyone has a mother. “Nor Absalom. You will not visit any of my brethren without my presence. When you’re with me. You do as I say.” “Y-y-yes Death.” Out of the mosquito buzz of questions concerning the law he had just laid down, one managed to blurt out before any of the other could so much as reach her tongue. “What did the people die of?” Death shrugged “Disease, age…They were here when we found them. You don’t have to worry about the mess. I tended to that. Here. Your bath is ready. Step in.” Ophelia allowed Death to drop the blanket to her feet. The water was at a perfect temperature. She was about to get herself comfortable when she heard Death undressing. The warmth and embrace slowly waning as Death stepped in behind her. His chest pressed against her back. Death reached for a bar of soap opposite of Ophelia. He moved her long hair out of the way and gently began to wash her back using a pink sponge. “Death, please. Why did you choose me?” Ophelia couldn’t help but ask. “Why? Ophelia don’t you understand how perfect you are? You’re submissive, young, fuckable, and smarter than you think. You have a delicate face, nice curves, charming eyes, a divine ass. You are a perfect slave.” At that moment, Death’s hands crept up to her breasts. “They’re already ripe.” Death commented lewdly, giving her twins a squeeze. She mewled in fear and turned her head. Please don’t let him take my virginity. Not now! I’m not ready. It wasn’t supposed to be this way! Death continued molesting her breasts before creeping down to her thighs. “Spread them.” He ordered. The water added extra stimuli as Death’s fingers slid right inside her tight hole. Ophelia hated to admit that she enjoyed the feeling. Something beyond what she had every felt before. Death’s fingers spread, swirled, and wormed themselves inside her like a knot of snakes. They were like two gaunt serpents inside her virgin entrance. She tried her best to resist her climax. Alas the dead giveaway fell asunder when her hips bucked and her whole lower body flailed splashing water over the tub. She bit her lower lip as her orgasm ceased. Her heart beating like a pocket watch. “That’s enough of that my slave.” Death spoke softly licking her earlobe. Ophelia shook in fear. Death silently began washing her hair. Scrubbing softly, his nails going to work on running the soap through her long, wet strands. Once he was finished, he handed Ophelia a surprisingly modern looking razor. “Try anything and I’ll do it for you,” Ophelia nodded. She longed to get out of the tub. For the water had already grown cold and she was beginning to feel sick again. Ophelia stood up much to the excitement of Death and commenced shaving using the soap. She stopped once she reached her mons pubis. It had been awhile since she had shaven. Showers were only fifteen minutes long back at the shelter. “All of it.” Death said curtly. Ophelia proceeded slowly so as she wouldn’t cut herself. Once she was done, Death pulled her out and drained the tub. Afterwards, he took her over to the fogged full body mirror on the opposite of the bathroom and made her examine herself. The hair on her body had been all but removed. As she did so, Death wrapped his muscular arm around her waist causing her breasts to bounce and overlap. Rivulets of water ran down from her wet hair and to her breasts. Death watched a lone drop of water lay claim over her nipple. He began caressing the junction of her thighs. Ophelia leaned into his chilling body as he felt her bare skin. Her ass resting deliciously against his waist. Calloused touches sent waves of fear to wash over her. Death parted her soft folds then rested his thumb on the hood of her clitoris. “Do you enjoy when I do this?” He teased running his thumb over it, slowly. “N-no.” She confessed watching herself in the mirror. Her flower in full view. “I have a feeling you’re lying to me, slave girl.” To test her, Death crept his finger inside her warm, wet entrance. He could feel her pink flesh squeeze his fingers. Ophelia whimpered little cries of reluctance. Death’s appendage hardened, almost to the point of becoming painful. Two arches of his fingers were enough to send her to tears. His fingers dripping with her sex juice. Death guided them to her, allowing her to smell her own musk. Ophelia produced a noise which sounded to him like a moan and a purr. Death smiled. He left her to fetch a robe from the other room. He produced a cream colored one that was much too short for her and draped it around her wet , hot body. The material was silk rubbing gently in between her petals and skin. She enjoyed the comfort. Her face blushing both from the kindness and the after effects of the bath. “You’re blushing, child.” Death said. Ophelia could hear the smile in his voice even without having to look up. Ophelia looked up at him, noting his strong sunken neck. His strong jawline, his chest, his ribcage. Ophelia’s pussy pulsed as she felt his cock rest against her buttocks. That was enough to stir her out of her daydream. Death chuckled. His throaty voice sending chills to her flesh. “I’ll take you to bed. You need your strength for later. I’ll have the servants fetch you something to eat. Would you like that?” Ophelia nodded. It had been awhile since she had last eaten anything. “Yes please.” She replied timidly. Death carried her like a little child to the bedroom. She held on to him sleepily resting her head on his shoulders. Death tucked her in and stroked her cheek stopping to finger her lips. Her hair was still wet with water. Some dripped on her skin. Death wiped it off with his thumb. Soon Ophelia was asleep. Death sat by her bed watching her. Ophelia awoke cocooned in the embrace of the floral duvet. She couldn’t remember the last time she had slept in her own bed. She felt like a princess despite her unfortunate circumstances. Ophelia groaned and nestled in deeper than before fearing the threat of what was to come should, she step out of the womb of the blankets. Suddenly, she felt a shadow draw over her. “Ophelia.” Death took a strand of hair in between his fingers. Ophelia refused to meet his gaze. Instead, she buried her face deep within the covers. “Ophelia, I know you’re awake. You don’t need to hide from me. You haven’t done a thing wrong. Wake up. I have something for you to eat.” Ophelia slowly pulled the covers off her dreading the absence of that warmth and security and crawled out of bed. She stopped to glance at herself in the vanity mirror across from the bed. Thankfully, he dark circles of exhaustion had all faded. Death sat her down on the armchair next to the window and presented a tray in front of her with a bowl of soup with some strange herb in it, homemade bread, and a small cup filled with tea. Next to the plate of bread was a small teapot. Death took a seat on the chair across from her. “The servants brought this in while you slept. It’s nearly midafternoon. It’s alright if you sleep past morning. You may do so for only a couple more days. After that I’ll start you with work.” Ophelia watched as Death scooped up the herb. She had slept surprisingly well, yet something deep inside her urged to climb back into the bed. “Eat.” She stared at it skeptically. Fearing that it might be some sort of drug. “It’s not lethal. You have to keep your strength up.” Her eyes went to his other hand which lay perched atop the table counter like a tarantula ready to pounce. Ophelia took the strange morsel into her mouth and began chewing slowly. It tasted earthy, but not bitter. She tried to wash the odd taste from her mouth with the herbal tea. Death scooped up more soup. Some ran down her chin which he flicked off with his thumb. Death noticed her robe top was opened. Exposing her cleavage ready to spill over the silk. Death didn’t care whether her mouth was full of soup or not. He leaned in staring momentarily into her curious eyes and kissed her hard. The soup spilling out of her mouth and dripping down her chin. She cried with fear and reluctance. She tried pulling away. His arms caught her just in time. His tongue explored hers before tickling the roof of her mouth. His other hand went to her breast which spilled over the top. He pinched her soft nipple until it became long and hard and rolled it between his rough fingers. “N-no…” Ophelia choked out as he gave her one last kiss. He kissed his way down to her neck. He kissed her collar bone, the freckles underneath, the valley of her breasts. Teasing her until he reached her nipple. He gave it one gentle kiss before swirling his cool tongue around it. Ophelia arched at the stimuli. “Death!” She gasped. Hot tears coursed down her face. Death licked, sucked, and bit at her delicate nipple. His other hand squeezing tightly around her small waist. Death smiled at her reluctant cries as he tasted her sensitive flesh. He gave her nipple one last taste before pulling away to look at her. He took in the confused fear in her eyes. Her heavy breathes of fright, the way her eyes stared into his pleadingly, the beauty of her tears, her face flushed from his doing. “Death?” Ophelia’s voice trembled. She tried to fix her robe. “Don’t touch it!” Death growled. Ophelia shook in her chair. She could only stare at this creature. Stare at the horrid expression on his face. The rage in his eyes. The want. The desire. She could jump from the window. Or better yet push him out of it. No. Between her and him, it was obvious who would win. And the fear alone of him reanimating her corpse was enough. She remained on the seat leaning into it as if he could pounce any minute. “I apologize,” the Nephilim began after taking his seat. “If I scared you. I don’t like hurting you Ophelia.” What? Then why are you doing this to me? Why are you scaring me, attacking me, molesting me? What is the gain you seek from doing all this? Ophelia wanted to demand. “I hate you.” Ophelia said on impulse. She refused to meet his eyes. Death chuckled and sat back in his chair. “So you’ve said. It is not the first time I’ve heard it before.” Death chuckled. His acceptance only fueled her distaste. Still, Ophelia was glad she had said it. “Are you done pouting now?” Ophelia looked away. Tears plastered to her cheeks. “Good. I want you to go and wash up. I’ll lay out some clothes for you once you’re done. Then acquaintances will be made.”   Ophelia found a stockpile of makeup, perfume, a hairbrush, and even a toothbrush and a vile of what she believed was toothpaste all in the bathroom closet. As she brushed her hair, she tried hard to imagine what Death’s siblings could look like. Were they just as cold and sadistic as himself? Were they as savage as the ones back at the market? And the most disturbing thought of them all, why were they so keen on visiting her? Ophelia did her best at trying to hide her fear. But still, the unwavering questions hung over her and ceased to leave her mind. Her stomach was in knots as she imagined various scenarios regarding their visit. If he’s talking about the future. With me. With…us. Chances are he’s not planning on letting any harm come my way. But then again, he hurts me and then plays it off like it never happened. Oh God I am scared. Ophelia briefly chased away her fear through brushing her teeth free from any traces of Death’s taste. She couldn’t believe she had gone to sleep with that odd texture in her mouth. It made her shiver. Ophelia studied herself in the mirror. She had washed her face and applied a liberal amount of makeup. Back to the Egyptian goddess look, she thought wearily. It was like a whole beauty salon in the closet. She didn’t even want to begin to think where they got all the stuff from after hearing that Vulgrim got his merchandise off corpses. The finishing touch was the perfume. She applied it to every inch of her body including her mons pubis. It was pretty smelling which was comforting at least. Still, she felt so unlike herself. School days for her usually consisted of waking up, showering, and applying eyeliner no more no less. Then throw on a graphic tee and usually skinny jeans. Now you are a slave, not a school girl anymore. Ophelia sadly turned away from the mirror. It was time to go. Silently, she said a farewell to her old life before taking her leave and heading into the bedroom where Death was waiting for her. ***** Downpour ***** Chapter Summary Ophelia meets Death's siblings. Death grumbled a silent "thank you" to the young servant girl who nervously set the clothing on the bed and hurried out of the bedroom. He gazed out the window pensively. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened. The girl stood in the doorway twirling a strand of red hair between her fingers. Death sensed her fear and chuckled lightly. "The servant has set out clothing for you. Dress slowly and face me." Ophelia hurried over to the bed. Sure enough, the clothing consisted of a white bodice laced corset. It could have been classy, save for the equally white thong. "Leave them off." Death demanded. Ophelia-cheeks burning-reached for the corset. Death took in her small frame with his fiery eyes. He cherished her divine Venus contour, her freckled body, her delicate toes, her long legs, the way her breasts bounced deliciously as she laced the corset over them. "Come here." Death spoke so softly she could barely hear him. Ophelia approached him with the reluctance of approaching a poisonous spider. Death stroked her cheek, his fingers trailed to her lips. Her whole body began to shake in terror. "Suck on them, little slave." Ophelia opened her mouth, her eyes staring distrustfully into his. She sucked on two of his fingers. They tasted of the earth. Death enjoyed the feel of her warm tongue on his cold flesh. He pulled them away following a translucent strand of saliva to drop from his fingers. "Death!" Ophelia cried out as she felt his arm wrap around her midsection causing her breasts to heave under his touch. Ophelia gasped, moaned, and twisted as she felt him explore her slick orifice. Once he was finished, he slowly pulled out of her with a whimpering moan and examined the wetness running down his fingers. "Do you like when I do this, Ophelia?" Ophelia shook her head. Death grunted. He finally released his hold on her. His strength alone sent her falling to the floor. With one swift hand, Death grabbed her by the arm and forced her on the bed. "Death don't! Please Death, no!" Ophelia tried her best to crawl away, but the horseman's grip was too strong and her limbs were fragile. He forced Ophelia face down into the duvet with her ass arched up in the air and her hands bound together by Death's large hand. She began to scream as she felt him throw a flurry upon flurry of slaps to her buttocks with his free hand. "You've been such a bad girl, Ophelia. You must be punished. Say you've been bad." Ophelia in hysterics-complied. "Say it!" Death's cold grip tightened on her wrist. "I'm sorry! I've been bad! Just please stop hurting me! With that, Death ceased. Ophelia crawled away and clung to the bedpost. She glared at Death with hatred in her eyes. "Now look what you've done. Your eyes are a mess. Go clean up. Hurry now." Ophelia didn't take her leave without giving Death another brutal scowl first. Ophelia sat restlessly in the window seat awaiting for the arrival of Death and his siblings. They were in the castle's kitchen helping themselves to meat the servants had prepared. Ophelia stared out the window and wondered what his siblings looked like. All the while she thought the sleepier she became. Suddenly, the door swung wide open. Ophelia whipped her head to the other side of the room and was met by an armored Nephilm with dark slicked back hair, skin as dark as caramel and eyes as bright as fire embers. He was in the midst of laughing-a cackle more like, but when he saw Ophelia he immediately ceased and gave her the most sinister grin exposing his sharp ivory teeth. The Nephilim next to him was about the same size, maybe a little shorter. He wore a red cloak or at least what was left of a cloak. Behind him it hung in battered tatters. His left arm was adorned by something that looked to be a primitive gauntlet. It was made entirely of stone. Ophelia was curious to know how he got it, but at the same time she was terrified to know. His appearance would have almost been angelic. With his long hair, pure as the moon itself, face as perfectly shaped as a cherub from an old renaissance painting, a marking on his forehead that seemed to glow just as bright as his hair, and eyes lively and glowing with anticipation. Ophelia could feel his eyes explore her body. Searching every curve as if he was raping her with his eyes. She could almost feel those milky eyes pierce her maidenhood, slip inside her and steal every bit of innocence left within in her. Every trace of potential hope and safety she saw in him were lost. The last Nephilm to enter the room was a sight for sore eyes. Her magenta hair billowed around like a mermaid. Her catlike eyes were as bright as her younger brother's, her skin flawless, her legs long and limber, her curves subtle and well pronounced as was her jawline and tight burgundy lips. Around her eyes and forehead were black markings like the carving on Death's shoulder. She was wearing what looked to be a purple robe made of cloth and lace. It fit her shape perfectly; although it did little to prevent her generous breasts from bouncing slightly as she made her entrance. Her high heeled metal boots clicking absently along the floor. She regarded Ophelia with a scrutinizing once over. "Allow me to introduce my brother Strife, my sister Fury and my youngest brother, War." Death announced gesturing to each as he spoke. "So, this is the girl huh Death." Strife spoke first. He approached her slowly, his grin becoming wider. Ophelia's heart beat began to increase. "She's so young. So scared. So alone." "Patience Strife," Death said sternly. "War goes first. You'll have your way with her very soon." Strife grunted and whispered into his brother's ear. "Better make it slow, War. I'd love to see her scream." With that, Strife strode away and piled himself into the armchair. His sister followed suite and sat in the one across from him. "Yes War. Show us what our little brother is fully capable of." Fury giggled. Ophelia could only stare helplessly at the horseman. War approached her without hesitation. She was terrified. Without thinking she backed up against the pillows on the window seat. "Young One. Come to me." His voice! So deep, so…for lack of better words fitting. Ophelia had no choice but to oblige. Strife watched her with amusement. Fury drummed her long nails on the armrest taking in the sight of the frightened girl. Ophelia walked over to War with trembling steps. Her bare feet plodding silently on the cool stone-tiled floor. "Look at my brothers when they speak!" Death growled from across the room. Ophelia fought back tears as best as she could and instead focused her attention on War. "Well, tell him your name." Death commanded. "Ophelia." Ophelia replied meekly. "Ophelia." War repeated suggestively. He knelt down to her own height and took a couple strands of hair within his fingers. He held them up to his nose and sniffed. Ophelia shivered within his presence. "War. Take her on the bed." With one arm, War quite literally lifted her off the floor and threw her onto the bed prompting a cackle from Strife and a giggle from Fury. Ophelia looked to Death with fear and confusion. Death smiled faintly and leaned against the bedroom door. Possibly in case she planned to make a break for it. War took her in with his luminescent eyes. He studied the heaving of her breasts, the mess of red curls around her, her parting lips, her thin stomach... He moved in on her, his lips softly touching her forehead, then her flushed cheeks, finally to her lips. He kissed her hard and passionate. His lips were strangely soft. It wasn't long before his tongue found hers. She moaned as she tasted him. His taste was of smoke and some kind of alcoholic beverage. As he kissed her, he began moving on top of her. Ophelia finally managed to breathe as he got up from the bed to undo his pants. Ophelia-still suffering the aftershock of his kiss began to struggle. "No, no please. Please War I can't do this! I'm not ready, please!" War ignored her protests and managed to get them off. Ophelia's eyes widened in shock as she took in the site of his length. For his "little brother" it was fair to say that War nearly outdid Death. War taunted Ophelia as he pried off his robe. "You think I'm just going to fuck you and be done? I want to enjoy this. Get on your knees and put that coquettish mouth of yours to use. Show me what you can do, Ophelia." Ophelia swallowed hard. She was trapped. Defeated, she slid off the bed and slowly approached War. Her knees shaking visibly. She fell to her knees and faced War's massive length. "Touch it." War demanded. Ophelia reluctantly did so. Using two hands because of his size. One touch was all it took for it to become longer, more pronounced and erect. Ophelia felt every vein. Stroking it up and down careful not to let any of his semen touch her skin. For one thing, it was warm. Just so, so, big. As she massaged and explored it, War moaned louder and louder. His large hand crept up to play with her hair; only to twist it painfully. She tried to ignore the stress to her scalp, only expressing it through the tears in her eyes. Finally, War could take no more. He shoved Ophelia's head up to his cock giving her no choice but to take it into her mouth. One little protest escaped her lips before she took in a mouthful. She was forced to suck him much to the delight of Death and his siblings. Ophelia gagged twice as she felt his manhood touch the back of her throat. She looked up at War with her tear-filled eyes hoping that maybe he would stop and take pity on her.  Alas, he ignored her feeble effort and her tears only aroused him further. Three more sucks were all it took for War to cum. Ophelia took this as her cue to release him from her mouth only to be struck in the face by his hot seed. Ophelia cried out in shock and humiliation as her face was coated in his mess. Strife began to laugh incessantly. "Never knew you had it in you, little brother!" He piped. Ophelia looked to Death. "Ophelia, go clean yourself up. Now!" He barked as if it were her own fault. Ophelia-cheeks burning red-got up and ran to the bathroom sobbing. Ophelia took a long sad look in the mirror at her marred complexion before fulling wiping the Nephilim seed completely off with a wet washcloth. "Please, I'm sorry it happened! No don't do this to me, Death!" Ophelia kicked, screamed, and sobbed as Death bound her hands to the bedpost. The cold metal bars pressed against her skin painfully as she tried to twist away. "You were to suck him exactly how you did to me. You are not allowed to treat them in any way differently from me. You are my slave. I own you. Do you understand me or do I have to spank you again?" "I- I understand." "Good girl." Death whispered tickling her cheek with his fingers. Ophelia wanted nothing more than to spit at him, although she knew it would do no good. Once Death pulled away, it was War's turn to finish what he had started. War crawled on the bed and positioned his legs on both sides of her. He had some difficulty ripping her panties off with his prosthetic until Death offered to do it for him. Once that was over, War traced his calloused finger up to her mons pubis. "Such pure skin." War commented softly. He teased her by never coming in contact with her pink wet flesh. Instead, his fingers explored her corset bust where he slowly undid the bindings. Once free, her breasts bounced without restriction much to the Horseman's delight. Ophelia shook and whined as War leaned over and gently took her nipple into his lips. Ophelia could feel his manhood at her thigh as he did so. He sucked on her right breast with lithe precision. It felt good considering how gentle he was being on par to Death and how this was the first willing act upon her. But the bad came in a form of a scary thought. Would Death be upset if he found out that she was enjoying what War was doing to her? War sucked her breast a couple more times before giving her nipple a subtle kiss. He then moved his lips up to her earlobe, his soft skin brushing against it sending little shockwaves of excitement throughout Ophelia's body. "I can smell the lust on you, Young One. You like what I'm doing don't you? I reckon Death doesn't treat you this way." Ophelia bit her lip, unable to answer.  War took a hold of Ophelia's small waist. Ophelia froze and stared into his eyes, trying her best not to break. A wane smile crawled across War's face as he slipped inside her hot, wet cunt. "War!" Ophelia called out. She couldn't help it. The Horseman had filled her up to the hilt. He was now deep inside her. Ophelia struggled in her bounds, pleading for him to stop. He was so far in. She didn't even know it was possible to touch where he was touching. Still, he kept his firm hold on her waist. War rocked his hips, moaning as he did so. She felt amazing. Like the virgin she was, her tight flesh clamped down on his protruding phallus. He could smell her sex as he thrusted in and out of her. His buttocks ramming along with his timed movement. Strife took in this site with fascination. Fury remained silent, chewing on her fingernail. Death watched his baby brother and Ophelia for that matter, intently. Trying to distinguish the looks on both of their faces. To see if they were enjoying each other's flesh a little too much. Death was beginning to grow tired of waiting for his turn. His manhood becoming painfully tight even under the many robes. Patience. Patience is the key of life. Death mused to himself. As War pierced that sacred place deep inside her, Ophelia's eyes scanned his determined face. She saw scars, the rune marking on his forehead. The face of a warrior more so than an angel. Yet there was something very angelic about his features that made Ophelia think otherwise. Ophelia could feel that place inside her rive. Unable to take it anymore, she screamed as War released his hot seed inside her. Her maidenhood broken. Her sanity shattered along with it. She was now a harlot. Death's harlot who replenished herself on fucking. Fucking was now her source of life from the Nephilim men. Her role as the slave of Death was to obey, and obey she must. War collapsed momentarily on her breasts which served to him as pillows. He was still connected with her. She could feel some of his seed spill out of her and onto her thighs. It made her all the more want to push him off. Slowly, War pulled out of her. Traces of his seed spurting on her thighs. Sweat plastered his face, back, and chest. His siblings stared at him without a word. War grabbed his clothes from the floor and began dressing. Strife and Fury looked at each other in shock. Fury tried to suppress a giggle. "Well brother. I guess you're up next." Fury teased. "Hell yes I am!" Strife stood to his feet, proudly. Ophelia -flushed and dazed-tried her best not to make eye contact with the Nephilim. After watching her be defiled by his baby brother, it was too awkward let alone risky if she so much as stared into his eyes or anywhere on his body for that matter. Yet when he undressed, when the armor was forlorn it was nearly impossible. His body-like the rest of his brothers-was just as strong, fit, and agile. Ribs nestled with equally strong abs among a dark toned body. From the other side of the room sitting on his haunches, was Death fully aware of Ophelia's focus on his brother. He narrowed his eyes. Just as he hoped Ophelia caught his attention, causing her to immediately drop her gaze. Her cheeks burned in apprehension. "Looks like War really took his time with you, little girl." Strife grinned, eyeing her pink, soft flesh. Ophelia could feel War's still warm seed inside her. Coating her thighs and resting in her belly. It made her feel even more like a wench. Strife propped his legs on either side of her. Ophelia began crying as she felt him take a handful of her hair. He enjoyed her tears. He kissed her. His tongue touching hers. His erection resting on her stomach. He continued to kiss her for quite some time. Tasting her, teasing her. His hand slipped from her hair and down to her breast where he squeezed it firmly, taking her nipple between two fingers. He pinched and squeezed it until she thrashed in her bounds. "That's enough of that, multum reginae." Strife finally said. "I want to feel just how tight this little princess is." Before giving her any warning, Strife slipped inside her using his younger brothers cum to guide him. Ophelia cried and begged for him to stop yet it only fueled his sinful need even more. Strife thrusted as far as he could go inside her. All it took was just a couple more before releasing. "You have no idea how lovely your cunt feels right now."Strife whispered licking her earlobe, making her shiver. As he fucked her for second time, he took a whole handful of her hair and gave it a twist. "Mmm, no! Strife please no!" "Strife! Stop that at once!" Death roared at his brother. Suddenly, War ripped Strife right off poor Ophelia who didn't even have enough time to register. Death was a blur to her. She quickly crossed her legs with Strife's seed still fresh inside her. Ophelia tried to catch her breath and looked to Death for help. "I will not allow you to cause any harm to Ophelia. She is my treasure. I only allowed you to have her as a special treat. Harm her and you're in for it, brother." Any other comment Death or Strife may have had was all lost to Ophelia. For at that moment her eyes grew heavy as did her breathes, and soon she had fainted. ***** Jealousy ***** Chapter Summary Death finds out what's on Fury's mind. Ophelia awoke with her hands unbound and tucked into the covers of her and Death’s bed. Death was softly snoring next to her with his back facing her. The light streaming into the beautifully painted windows told her that it was a new day. She threw back the covers and did a once over of herself. Death must have cleaned her off. For her whole body was immaculate. She was clothed in a burgundy silk robe and smelled of pretty soap instead of Nephilim sweat, seed, and saliva. She tried to move, yet the pain between her legs was unbearable. Strife. Strife caused me to faint. Oh God… They all took me. All except Death. She felt filthy. Nothing but a whore. Confused beyond belief, she began to cry. She didn’t care if Death heard her or not. He had hurt her enough already. “Ophelia?” Ophelia stopped sobbing and turned to face a bleary Death. He sat up in the bed letting the blankets slide down to his belly button. “Ophelia. Come here.” “Why? So you can rape me just like your brothers did?” Ophelia brought the covers up to her breasts. She fixed Death with such an icy stare that he couldn’t help but chuckle a little. Even though his gaze scared her, she couldn’t let herself wane. “Ophelia. Now that my brothers have had a taste of your pure flesh. It is my turn now. We already went over this. Come to me now.” “No.” Ophelia felt the tears returning. Still, she didn’t waver. “No, Death.” Death pounced at her. He threw the covers off her and began to tear at the bust of her robe. Ophelia kicked, screamed, and cursed. “Death no! No please! No! I still hurt…” “I’ll make you hurt a lot more if you don’t obey me!” Death struck her across the cheek. Once her breasts were in plain view, Death lowered his head and took her nipple into his mouth. Ophelia all but gave up now. Letting the horseman taste her skin without resisting. All she could do was nothing. Death released her nipple from his cold lips and kissed his way down her midsection and to the curves of her thighs. No, not down there! Death didn’t hold back as he kissed her already protruding bundle of nerves. Ophelia tried to silence herself as he took it in between his freezing lips. His sucks, his teeth scraping against it actually began to feel…good. She hated it and she hated him and herself just as much for thinking his filthy act was pleasurable. Death smiled through his licks. It seemed his slave was willing. It wasn’t long before her back began to arch and she cried out into the morning light. To torture her, Death snaked his tongue down to her young cunt. She tasted so sweet, so ready. Ophelia’s hands grasped at her breasts which she caressed absently. Perhaps to stimulate the pleasure or to act as a source of comfort. Whichever it was, it only fueled the rider’s lust. He watched keenly as her soft thumbs rubbed her erect nipples up and down. He prodded deeper and deeper never taking his glance off her until- “Death! Fuck…” Ophelia cried out as she rocked her hips following something much stronger. Her first orgasm. Death had touched that place deep inside her. That place so sacred, so pure. Something Ophelia herself hadn’t touched in quite a while. She completely lost all the innocence she had left inside her. With her hips bucking uncontrollably, Ophelia came twice coating Death’s lips in her hot arousal. Death slowly pulled away from the girl to lick the remaining traces from his wet lips. Ophelia had tears in her eyes just from his doing. A mix of pleasure, pain, and confusion had shadowed her face. Ophelia didn’t expect his next action as Death took a hold of her foot. He brushed a finger along the curve of her left one prompting giggles from his slave. “Death, ahahahahaha! Stop please! No…. mmmm! Stop!” Ophelia flailed and laughed as the horseman tickled her feet. He took her big toe inside his mouth and began to suck it. Ophelia never thought of anyone doing this to her. It was arousing, yet made her feel sick and vulnerable. Death released her big toe which was warm and wet with his saliva. He stood up greeting Ophelia with his very knotted cock, already beaded with purple cum. The nephilim grabbed the girl by the ankles and forced her legs open. The realization quick and terrifying in Ophelia’s brain. “No…” She flailed. Death ignored her pleas and positioned himself on top of her. Ophelia craned her head into the pillows as the horseman impaled himself inside her. He rocked his hips with such strong force that the bed began to creak. Her sex was hot, wet, and so very tight. He smiled as he smelled her. He watched her cry and try to push him off. Finally, the young slave grew tired and allowed him to fuck her. As bad as it was, she began to like what he was doing to her. Her slickness allowed his manhood to slide in and out of her perfectly. She could hear her wet flesh squelch from their fucking. Her hands slowly reached out to touch her master’s back. She found the cadaverous curvature of his spine. The feel of bones under her touch felt so unnatural, so foreboding. Like a corpse. It scared her, sickened her, and at the same time, made her feel excitement. Ophelia’s back arched as she felt herself just about to cum. She was actually willing. Death could sense it too. Before allowing her to do so, he pulled out of her and threw her on her stomach until her face was pressed against the mounds of pillows. With her back still arched and her perfect little ass in the air, Death unleashed his purple, chilling seed onto her backside letting it splatter down her lower back and her buttocks. Ophelia could feel her pussy throbbing, craving for Death’s manhood. Out of the confusion and deprivation, Ophelia didn’t have much to do. Instead, she tried to catch her breath and face being shoved into the pillow. Until she knew what Death was planning on doing to her. Ophelia gasped and buried her face deeper into the pillows as she felt Death enter her tight hole. Her anus constricted as he forced himself inside her. It was too late to try to resist now. She had never ever thought of a man entering inside her this way. The whole sensation caused her to arch her back higher and higher. Death thrust in and out of her canal enjoying the tightness of her pink walls. He came twice inside her. Ophelia could feel his seed trailing from her anus as he pulled out of her tight ass. Ophelia, hurting and trying her best not to let her tears flow over sat up with her back to Death. She turned to face him, her eyes full of hurt and distrust. Death took a moment to catch his breath. “Come. I’ll run a bath for you.” Ophelia was more than happy to oblige. Although she didn’t show it. For some reason, she felt as if there were eyes upon her and not just Death’s. Fury stood up from her seat at the keyhole. A hiss escaped her pouting lips. Her hatred growing for Little Ophelia and her brother as well. She crossed her arms over her breasts and leaned against the wall next to the door. Just then, Death came out wearing nothing but cloth pants, boots, and a leather belt. He softly shut the door behind him and focused on his younger sister. “You sure trust that child enough to leave her alone.” Fury commented spitefully. “She’s taking a bath. I locked the door behind her. Besides, she knows the outcome.” “What is she to you, Death? What is so special about her in the first place?” “She is possibly the last of her kind and the most fragile.” “And what has that got to do with-” “Because she is mine.” Death confirmed in a voice that Fury knew too well. The discussion was over. Silence. Fury pressed on. “So you like her better than me I suppose.” “Sister. Is that what was really on your mind?” Death couldn’t help but chuckle. Fury pouted and looked away. Her pale cheeks turning red. “You know I don’t feel that way, don’t you?” Death affectionately put his hand on her shoulder. “Fury look at me.” He felt his sister tense to his touch. “Your flesh is always so cold.” Fury said meekly. Death’s hand went to her blushing cheeks. He stroked them softly. Fury’s spine straightening against the wall as he touched her. It was rare for Death to touch her like this. When she was younger, her and Death had been close. Death would let her ride on his shoulders and even taught her how to hunt. They would take their horses out and ride together along the paths and up the valleys and hills of their world. All that was so long ago. But the way Death was touching her was different. It was more than just a sibling bond. Death examined his little sister. She had grown up to be such a beautiful Nephilim. Her cheeks so full, her jawline strong, her attitude reminding himself of him. A determined horseman’s sister. Death brushed his thumb along her lips. Fury looked up at her brother with her bright eyes. “Brother? Do you want me?” Fury asked softly. Death suddenly pressed her against the wall. Fury gasped. She felt something she wasn’t accustomed to. Helplessness. “Brother…” She gasped as she felt Death’s fingers go to her top. He undid the lacing with surprising litheness. Death fell to his knees and took Fury’s breast into his mouth to suck on her nipple which was already hardened from the chill of the castle. Fury felt herself become wet underneath her skirt. Her hand strayed down from it’s place on the stone wall to rub herself through her panties. She used two fingers to encircle her clitoris. She began pinch and pull on it until it was visible through her undergarments. As she masturbated with each of Death’s sucks, her other hand went to caress her brother’s head. She stroked his black hair while her back rested against the wall. “I want you to treat me better than how you treat your little slave.” “And how is that exactly?” Death asked teasingly, ceasing his doing. Fury giggled. Death stood up to meet his sister’s eyes. He took a hold of both her wrists and thrust himself upon her waist. She could feel his very knotted manhood through the fabric. Suddenly, two phantom hands appeared at his side. They went to work on undoing his pants until his cock was in full view. Once they served their master, they crawled up Fury’s skirt to peel off her soaked panties. Fury smiled as she felt the slick fabric rip from her body leaving her sensitive wet flesh exposed for Death’s view. Death’s reaper hands seized her skirt and gave it a sharp tug, ripping the material in half. “Brother! You owe me a new dress-ah!” Fury hissed only to be silenced by the feel of Death’s mouth to her quim. “Ah, yes brother!” She cried as she arched against the wall. Death licked at her bundle of nerves that stood hard against her hot, pink flesh. He sucked on it, savoring the feeling of Fury’s fingers pressing her to him. He continued this for some time until Fury couldn’t take it anymore. “Death, stop teasing me. Please brother, I’m going to go mad!” The Nephilim female moaned.  Death gave her one last suck before pulling away. “Patience sister. I’ll give you plenty.” Fury gasped as she felt his reaper hands once more this time, fondle her breasts. It had been a while since her and Death had such an intimate chemistry. Being the last female Nephilim came with the disadvantages. Not that Death had been too keen on letting his younger sister court any Nephilim men. “Death! Mmm…Fuck me…Yes Death…” Fury whispered. Death’s hands slid from underneath her buttocks to lift her up against the wall, giving him a better angle to fuck her. The wall was cold, and her skin crawled with goosebumps as it touched her. Yet she didn’t care. What Death was doing to her was so perfect. Death smiled as he felt her buttocks jiggle with each thrust. She was so wet, so hot, so tight. It had been forever since he had felt her insides. It didn’t take long for Death to reach his orgasm. They both came at the same time. She enjoyed the feel of Death’s hands squeezing her ass. Her legs tightened around him as he released his cool seed inside her. She felt some spill down her inner thighs and stain her skirt. Bastard. She thought, not without smiling to herself. Death remained inside her for a couple more minutes before slowly pulling out of her, his cock coated in her cream and his purple. He gave Fury a chance to cool off and rest against the wall for balance. “Brother,” Fury finally gasped. “Give me more.” She moaned, spreading her legs. “You were always such a spoiled girl.” Death teased grabbing his sister’s hips. As he fucked her again, he studied her face. So flushed, so strong, determined, yet breakable. She was his sister after all. The resemblance was striking. Death released inside her three times with a gruff moan. Drool coated itself on Fury’s chin. Her brother was still so rigid, so rough. She loved it. Her thoughts only focused on him as she enjoyed their first connection in centuries. Ophelia sat on the edge of the bathtub in nothing but a crimson robe. She watched as the purple bathwater swirled down the drain. Her hair hung in wet tendrils around her waist. Her skin free and clear of any remaining traces of Death. Ophelia had already rubbed scented lotion on her skin to ease the pain and friction on her thighs and lower area. She crossed her legs and began to whimper in discomfort. Her womb hurt. Just envisioning the Nephilim’s seed inside her was enough already. Sleepily, she made her way to the door only to find it locked. That bastard. He locked me in here. Ophelia pressed her ear against the door. Were those voices she could hear? “Death?” Ophelia called. No answer. Ophelia began to panic. He wouldn’t just forget about her, would he? No of course not. She was his slave after all. Ophelia searched the sink cabinet and took out a pillow. She placed it in the bath and climbed back in to rest. It was uncomfortable, to say the least. Although, she felt somewhat safe. Death wasn’t there even though the bathtub was hard and nothing like her bed. It reminded her of the awful cots they had to sleep on back at the shelter. If she closed her eyes and thought hard enough, she could picture her mother and friends by her side. Soon, she drifted off to a dreamless sleep. ***** Sweet Girl ***** Chapter Summary Ophelia discovers that Death isn't the only master she can serve. Fresh sunlight streamed through the stained glass window and patterned along the bed. The light poured into Ophelia’s sleeping face. Still half-asleep, Ophelia groaned and turned to her side only to be met with the sleeping face of Death. He snored silently, loose strands of black hair hung around his face, unwavering. His face hardened as if battling something in his sleep. Ophelia watched him in this tranquil state. The more she watched, the stronger the desire to touch his face creeped into her mind like millions of little spiderlings scouting for a crevice to take shelter in after emerging from their mother. It was a strangely peaceful sight to see this Nephilim man finally in a docile state. She could watch him some more or she could thrust the pillow from underneath her and press it to his face. She pondered about this. Would he be aware of her intention seconds before she so much as grabbed the thing or would he simply struggle and kill her with his own hands? Ophelia could almost feel those cold skeletal hands around her neck. It made her stomach churn. Her eyes panned to the great stained-glass window that overlooked the both of them. One fall and I’d be done for Ophelia thought grimly. One shatter and the glass could cut me. Or better yet, I could cut Death. Slit his throat.  Ophelia stared at Death for just a couple more minutes. No. Then what would become of you? Just to get auctioned of again to one of those monsters out there who would do worse things such as rape you, maim you, and kill you? You’d be dead in a heartbeat! Out of her peripheral vision, she caught Death’s fiery eyes on her. “Good morning, Ophelia.” Death’s voice sent tremors down her spine. She was almost afraid he could hear her thoughts. “Good morning.” She said - a little too timidly. “It’s time for your first day of work.” Death declared sitting up letting the blanket fall to his waist. His hair cascaded down his mid-back. Long, greasy strands askew. Ophelia would’ve giggled but knew better to catch herself. “I made something for you to wear.” Death cast the blanket aside and stepped off the bed exposing his bare, backside to her. Ophelia couldn’t help but gaze. His body was so picturesque for being the Reaper. So symmetrical, so perfectly fit… Ophelia shook the thoughts from her head and focused on Death pulling the dress out from the wardrobe. It was a pretty, cream color - almost angelic. He handed it to her along with a pair of equally white panties. “I stayed up all night making this for you.” “Thank you Death.” Ophelia said distractedly. He had truly done a fantastic job on it. The fabric was so soft. Ophelia examined her dress in the mirror. It was a little tight in the bust which was more or less intentional with long sleeves and a hem that only went up to her thighs. It showed off all her curves and most of her skin. Death even stitched in a corset bust showing off her cleavage and pink outline of her nipples. The panties were equally as snug. Death had also fixed together brown leather riding boots for her. They were warm and stuffed with fur. A bit too old fashioned for her taste. Still, it felt good just to be clothed.    “I’ll take you to make breakfast for yourself. I trust you know how to do the dishes?” Death spoke as he lead her to the kitchen. “Yeah of course, thank you.” Ophelia replied, distractedly staring at the cobblestone wall as they descended the steps. Ophelia had done more than enough dishes in her life to know. Being brought up by a single mother, it was always her responsibility to do them when she got home from school. She didn’t mind it really. A clean townhouse was a blessing.   Ophelia didn’t know that by making breakfast, Death would be referring to her cooking breakfast for all three horsemen. At the long, wooden kitchen table sat War to the left of Fury and on the opposite side was Strife who was carving something in the wood with a slab of stone. When he saw her, he grinned. “Rough night huh, princess?” Ophelia turned her head in embarrassment. She remembered how the brothers had been with her. How they had used her body as if she was nothing but a filthy harlot. She tried not to cry as she felt Death’s siblings eye her. The kitchen was small for such a grand castle. With a primitive stove and mounted pots, pans, ladles, and colanders among the walls. To the right on the floor was a mop and bucket. “There’s coffee in the top right cabinet,” Death explained gesturing. “I brought in the meat for you to prepare. It’s hanging in the pantry. Silverware and dishes are in the opposite cabinet. When you’re done eating, I want you to mop up and wipe down all the counters. When you’re finished completely, come find me. I’ll be in the horse stables.” Ophelia took the meat out of the pantry as Death had told her to and set it on the counter. It was wrapped up tight in Butcher’s paper. It bled through the wax and onto the counter. She had no idea what animal it could have been from and had no intention to find out. She tried to push the gruesome thought out of her mind as she reached for a frying pan. She lit the stove and placed the pan on top. As she waited for the pan to heat up, she reached for the coffee. Once the pan was hot, she ripped open the paper with a carving knife and placed it in the pan. She looked around for something else to go with it. Ophelia grabbed a jar that was filled to the brim with grain. The label read Porridge in cursive letter much too dainty to be Death’s. Ophelia just finished pouring the coffee into four tin cups. She gathered two wooden plates for War and Fury. Just as she turned to get Strife’s, he pinched her bottom. Ophelia jumped and let out a little scream of shock. This sent the Nephilim into a burst of laughter. “Hurry up why don’t ya? I’m starving.” Strife leaned back in his chair propping his boot on the table. Fury rolled her eyes as she sipped her coffee. War grunted coldly as he bit into a large hunk of meat. Ophelia set down the plate a little too harshly in both annoyance and humiliation. As she turned to get her own, Strife pulled her to his body causing him to sit right back up. Ophelia fell to his lap and struggled to get up only to be pulled harder towards the horseman. “Ow Strife! Let go!” Ophelia whined. “Strife!” Fury hissed at her brother. Strife released his grip sending Ophelia stumbling back. “Why won’t you leave her alone?” Fury demanded. “And what fun would that be? She’s so ready to break at any minute. Just look at her. So pathetic.” Strife grabbed the bloody meat with his own bare hands and began to dig in. His sharp teeth pulling the meat clean off the bone. He licked his fingers after he was done. Ophelia didn’t know whether to feel shocked, hurt, or afraid. Instead, she felt all three at the same time. Ophelia forced herself to eat her breakfast although she couldn’t really taste it. She sat at the far end of the table excluding herself from the group. All the while, she could hear Strife babbling in that strange demonic language and Fury and War acknowledging halfheartedly as they ate. She had a feeling he was talking about her judging by the way he kept stealing glances at her from down the table. She didn’t dare eat the meat especially since it’s origins were unknown, but ate the porridge and drank all the coffee in her cup. Once she was done, she gathered the Nephilim’s plates and began to wash them. War and Strife had left to train, they had said. All that remained behind was Fury. Ophelia hadn’t met her gaze with her all morning even when she had stood up for her. She thought of thanking her. She was- at least - the only one to show genuine kindness. Fury was sitting with her elbow on the table drumming her fingers on her cheek thoughtfully. Ophelia timidly approached the rider. “Are you finished with your coffee?” She spoke up wringing her hands. Fury either ignored her or didn’t seem to hear her. “I’ll take it if you are.” Ophelia reached to take the cup. As she finished washing the last remaining dish, Fury spoke to her. “Death really finds you special, child.” Ophelia shut off the water and set the cup on the drying rack. “I guess.” She said as if it was nothing. “You’re afraid of me, aren't you?” Fury asked amused. Ophelia didn’t know how to respond. “You’re adorable, you know that? Death and my brothers can do whatever they please to you and you would still find yourself in the same place. It seems like the end days kept you the same. Weak.” Ophelia sighed and felt all the hope of befriending Death’s sister lost. “I- I’m sorry.” Ophelia whispered. Fury stood up to take her leave. As she made her way to the steps, she stopped and turned her head to Ophelia. “Just remember your boundaries, girl. Watch yourself and maybe you’ll become stronger.” With that, Fury left. Ophelia watched until she disappeared up the steps and she could no longer hear the clicking of her heels on the cobblestone floor.   After Ophelia finished cleaning up the kitchen, she made her way out the back door and to the horse stables. Ophelia dreaded the place every since her first encounter in the strange realm had given her an insight on how her life would be from now on. College, marriage, a family of her own, were now just a little girl’s fantasy. Ophelia approached the open entrance like a young girl who was trying to sneak by a sleeping fierce dog. Like a bizarre orifice, empty and hollow inside. Dark, dim, with a cold, chilling welcome. Ophelia stood in the doorway and watched Death lovingly stroke Despair’s muzzle. Dust rested on his saddle that was slung on the wooden post half-obscured by the darkness, only his shiny eyes remained luminescent. Once he spotted Ophelia, he shook himself awake and picked absently at his feathers. Ophelia leaned against the entrance and watched the horsemen. He was being so good, so gentle to his stead. As if every ounce of evil and doom had left him. Ophelia began to see a much softer side to the rider. She didn’t know how to feel. Something had made him want to keep her, that was for sure. But just thinking about how he had raped her, slapped her, and made her bleed, brought back those hateful feelings toward him. Still… “Ophelia. I know you're standing there. Have you finished the kitchen?” “Yes, Death.” “Good girl. Come over here and I’ll teach you what to do next.” Ophelia approached. “Here.” He handed her a curry comb. “I’ll show you how to brush Despair. Run the comb through his mane like this.” Death took her soft hand with his and helped her guide the comb through his long, stringy mane. With the other, she stroked his broad chest. Her fingers dug themselves into the crevices of his bones. She was surprised at how deteriorated the beast was, yet how alive it seemed, as if it were a healthy, living horse. Ophelia brushed through his mane, untangling all the knots and tangles. Once that was done, his mane remained long and frayed but not without a healthy, almost living shine. “I’ve always wanted a horse.” Ophelia spoke running her fingers through his now vibrant mane. “Would you like your own?” Death asked, as if considering it. Was he really giving her that option? “Could I?” Ophelia spoke like a child. “It could be arranged.” Death chuckled. Was this the same monster who tied her, gagged her, and slapped her? Ophelia focused her attention on Despair. “Maybe.” She replied. After this was complete, Death gathered a rake from the back of the room. He stood behind her and held her hands gently to demonstrate how it was done. “Gather the hay into the center of the stable. Get it into a neat pile and drag it out of the stable.” Death instructed. Ophelia nodded as he guided her hands with the grip of the rake. Death stood back and watched her gather the hay into a neat pile. “Soon you wont even need me to help you. Tell me, did you ever work back in your world?” “I had a couple jobs over the summer. I babysat for a couple kids in my neighborhood. That was pretty fun. Then My friends and I worked at an ice cream shop. We would give free ice cream to little kids. It was a nice job. I liked it.” Ophelia had to pause to wipe her teary eyes. She missed her home, her friends, and most of all, her mother and her old life. They were all she had, and now that was all gone. She stopped where she stood and gripped the rake. Her tears running down her face in little ribbons. “I miss my home.” Ophelia said, finally. Death made his way over to her and took the rake from her. He set it aside and held Ophelia. Her body was so limp, Like a forgotten bisque doll. Ophelia allowed the horsemen to press her close to him. Even though he was cold, she felt so warm inside. She had forgotten what it was like to be held for the longest time. “That’s enough of that, young one.” Death said after kissing her head gently. His tone was as soft and gentle as if he she were a little girl. “Death, I’m scared. Please hold me.” Ophelia pleaded. Even Death himself was surprised by her persistence. Death continued to hold her and together they stood like that for quite some time. Ophelia sleepily made her way up the steps. Her first day as slave had completely taken it’s toll on her. All she wanted to do was get a bath and get to sleep. If she wasn’t so tired, she would have been able to see the figure sitting in the armchair watching her make her way to the bathroom. Ophelia drained the bathtub and reached for the hanging towel on the rack. After she dried her hair, she applied her body lotion and dressed in a robe that was much too small for her. She stepped quietly out of the bathroom and headed to the bed. Death wasn’t there. He hadn’t been there for dinner. He left once she finished with the horse stables and ordered her to make the bed and tidy up the bedroom. Ophelia guessed that he would appear later in the night when she would be sleeping like he had the morning before. Strangely, Ophelia felt another presence in the room. She shook it off - reasoning that it was just her mind playing tricks on her. She had been at it for hours. Pausing to have a light lunch and then to make dinner for Death’s siblings. She undid her robe in the dark letting it fall in a crimson pile at her feet and climbed into the soft bed. Just as she was dozing off, she felt someone sit at the edge of the bed. “Huh? Death is that?-” Ophelia sat up wide awake and alert. In the dark, she made out glowing, yellow cat eyes, a perfect jawline, sharp grinning teeth- “Strife?” Whatever Ophelia was going to say, it was all cut off by Strife’s warm lips on her own. She could taste alcohol, smoke, and something that tasted of blood. Cold,like his brother's but so much warmer. He was full of life. “Strife! Strife, Death will kill me…” Ophelia cried trying to resist Strife’s forceful kisses. Instead, he kissed her neck and tried to pull the blanket down from her shoulders. “He’s not here. He’s been gone all night. I bet he didn’t even tell you where he went did he? He’s always been that way. Disappearing.” Strife kissed his way down to he breasts. His warm lips found her cool nipple that hardened from his stimuli. “Strife, mmm! Strife, please…” Ophelia clutched the blanket. Her cunny became hot and wet. She didn’t understand why. Maybe it was because his forcefulness was somewhat consenting. Mostly because how playful he was being with her. His left hand creeped to her neck to tickle her. Strife kissed both her breasts and crept his hand to cup her soft, warm flesh. He gave it a squeeze. Ophelia moaned and bucked her hips enough to feel the blankets slide in between her legs. She could feel the material become soaked from contact. “I know you like what I’m doing to you, Slave.” Strife said, a matter-of- factly. Strife squeezed her nipple in between his calloused thumb and forefinger. Ophelia was defenseless against him. She allowed Strife to pull the blanket off of her, leaving her exposed in the cool night air. Strife let go only to undress. Ophelia could barely make out his very knotted cock in the darkness. “Strife, Death will kill me.” She repeated solemnly. The young Rider positioned himself on top of her with his legs parallel to her waist. He leaned in close enough to brush his lips against her earlobe. “No he won’t. I won’t let my brother touch you while I’m here.” He whispered, lust coating every word. He looked Ophelia into his eyes. They glowed with sexual desire and something that made her feel safe. “Do you mean it?” Ophelia asked, gravely. “Yes.” Strife kissed her collarbone. “Let me taste you, little princess.” Ophelia spread her legs, not without reluctance. “Mmm…Strife…Oh Strife…” Ophelia moaned sucking on her fingers to prevent herself from screaming with lust as the Nephilim man ravished her soft flesh. Strife smiled at her moans through teasing licks. She tasted so sweet. Her hips thrusted in perfect par with his tongue. Finally, she came - soaking his face in her cream. Strife continued his sinful doing. “Strife, Strife! No, I can’t possibly…mmmnnn!” Ophelia cried out as she felt another orgasm approaching. Afterwards, Strife took her for the first time that night. “Fuck you are so tight, Slave! Even after being fucked by my brothers. By the Creator, you are so fucking hot.” Their thrusts were perfectly timed. During the course of their love making, Strife trailed his lips down her neck nearly driving Ophelia crazy. He did something strange. Right when Ophelia was about to cum, he bit her neck. Not too hard, but nearly breaking the skin. More so nipping, than actual biting. “Strife, what are you doing? Please no! I’m scared, please no! Ophelia started to cry. Strife slowly pulled out of her tight, little hole much to her disappointment as she felt her approaching orgasm wane. “Ophelia.” Ophelia. He actually said my name for the first time. He remembered it. Strife consoled Ophelia as she sobbed into his shoulder. “Please don’t hurt me. Please…” “I won’t. But I want to take you while you’re in this state. You’re so beautiful right now. I need to see you cry. Your tears are bliss to me right now as your screams will be.” Ophelia nodded in the dark, thankful that it wasn’t Death who was commanding her to do such a thing. “Arch your back towards me so I can see your cute ass.” Ophelia did so. She gasped as she felt him spank her. He sent three harsh blows to her buttocks leaving pink marks on her delicate flesh. Tears ran down her face, both from shame and bliss. He hurt her, yet excited her in ways she could not say. Strife straddled her hips and guided his manhood over her soft petals. He lovingly stroked her cheek all the way up to her hair taking in a handful before slipping inside her hot, wet cunt. This position was new to her. She screamed, moaned, and cursed at him. A new sensation began to overcome her, thrill. She liked the pain Strife was giving her. “Mmm! Strife, mmm…Yes. Strife, yes!” Ophelia moaned as Strife thrusted into her, deeper. Her cunt was so wet, so tight. It made Strife come right then and there. He remained inside her for the duration of her second orgasm that was brought when his thumb began to encircle her protruding clitoris. Ophelia lost herself. “Yes Strife fuck me harder, fuck me harder Strife! Strife! Aghhhh!” Upon her third orgasm, Strife groped her breasts. Pulling and brushing against her nipples that were equally as erect as her over-engorged core. With his thumb teasing her clitoris, his other hand pulled her hair until he could make out the outline of her sweet flushed face. This sent Ophelia over the edge. They came together, their moans filling up the room as one.   “Promise you won’t tell?” Ophelia asked cuddling Strife under the covers of the master bed. The Nephilim’s seed slowly running down her thighs, her tummy protruding from his gobs of cum - still warm and so, so comforting. She wondered if she could get pregnant from him. Strife kissed her head and pressed her closer to him. “I promise. Why don’t you sleep in my room tonight?” Ophelia glanced towards the door. She remembered Death and what he would do to her if he found her and his brother in bed together. “Your brother…Won’t he get mad?” Strife shrugged. “He has a way of disappearing. One time he left for nearly 500 centuries.” “No.” Ophelia said, nearly laughing. “It was very alarming for us. Especially Fury. She will do anything for Death. They’ve been so close.” “Huh.” Ophelia was surprised to say the least. It seemed so strange that such a cold, unfeeling being such as Death could love anything. She had seen him with his horse, with Dust, and now with his siblings. It made her feel a twinge of jealousy in her heart. “Come, I’ll take you to my bedchamber.” Strife took her hand and lead her down from the bed. He handed her robe to her before they left the room together. For the first time since she arrived in the vile place, she was beginning to feel loved.   Death sat on a large stone sharpening Harvester. He had been to this place many times before. A small wood a couple miles from the castle. A place to be alone, to ponder. In the distance, he watched as Despair rolled around in the ashes that coated the ground. Ashes rained down on the horsemen, peppering his hair in wispy spiderwebs of cinders. He didn’t mind. His attention focused on the blade. Judging from the coolness of the air and purple darkness in the sky, it was midnight. Death thought about the girl with each stroke of the blade against the whetstone he carried strapped around his waist. From a dying tree branch, Dust fluttered down squawking until taking his place on the cool stone next to the horsemen. The bird puffed his feathers causing a flurry of ash around him, then went to work on preening the remaining cinders out with his beak. What about the girl? Dust’s sideways stare asked. “When the time is right, it shall happen.” Dust cawed as if asking, and what if she refuses? “Then I will kill her myself. And you know the rest.” Dust remained silent only chattering his beak as he shook the remaining ash from his feathers. Death stared into nothing, going over the words he had just spoken in his head. ***** Falling Away ***** Chapter Summary Ophelia loses her mind. Ophelia had finished her chores early the next day. She had a particular reason for this though. Today was a different day. She would be going out with Strife. Ophelia smiled as she ran the bathwater. She waited until it became nice and warm before undressing and settling in. Her mind went to Strife. She couldn’t recall the last time she had been on a date with anyone. She hurried over to the wardrobe and picked out a nice red robe with a laced bust and slit in the thigh to wear. She chose a pair of high heeled boots to go with it and braided the left side of her hair. Strife was already waiting for her in the foyer. Instead of his usual armor he wore black clothe pants, a brown leather vest, and black beat up riding boots. Strife smiled immediately once he saw her.  “You’re beautiful, Multum Reginae.”  “Thank you, Strife. But what does that mean?” Ophelia asked laughing as he took her hand in his. “It means my little princess. To me you are my princess and not some toy for my brother’s delight.” Strife kissed her hand like a gentleman and lead her out of the castle. He took her to the horse stables where a beautiful cream-colored horse was waiting for them. Upon seeing his master, he thrashed his hooves up in the air and whinnied with delight. “Ophelia, Battle. Battle, Ophelia.” Strife introduced stroking his stead’s broad neck. “He’s beautiful.” Ophelia whispered in a trance, gently tracing her fingers down his muscular chest. Truly he was. Smaller than Death’s horse - at least by his shoulder length. Strife helped her on top letting her take the front while he took his seat on the back. Ophelia was at first fearful. She hadn’t rode on a horse since she was five at a birthday party. But with Strife’s muscular arms around her waist, it was promise enough that he wouldn’t let her fall. Still she kept his saddle in a tight grip. Once she began to lose her edge, Strife would creep his hands up to her breasts and squeeze them, pinching and rolling her nipples through the soft fabric of her robe. The gallops of Battle fueling the desire between her legs. Only until Strife gave a silent command in demon did Battle cease causing Ophelia to lose the threat of release. “You’ll get yours. What you’ve been wanting. Just wait, Ophelia. Just wait.” Strife purred into her ear. Ophelia smiled and tried to focus on the scenery in order to distract herself from her near orgasm. A little ways up ahead, Ophelia spotted a large glowing orb. It shone bright green, nearly as green as Despair. Engraved in it was some type of runic markings. “What is that?” Ophelia asked Strife warily as Battle’s galloping became faster. “You’ll see. Just hold on tight.” Strife reassured.  Battle took on a full running leap. They soon both disappeared within, as did the orb itself. They found themselves in a beautiful lush valley. Dragon flies encircled a fairy tale pond that was full of shiny pebbles. They were enclosed by a group of redwood trees as if they could protect them from the apocalypse and it’s aftermath. The space was wide enough for only them and just as secured. "What is this place?” Ophelia inquired after Strife dismounted to secure Battle to a deformed branch. “What we passed through was a void. A new realm. In this realm, it’s just us. A place where we can be together.” Strife explained as he helped her down. “Come, I’ll show you.” Strife held her hand as they made their way through the winding, redwood paths. Past the trees was a lush valley. On top of a grassy hill was a large willow tree. Ophelia was mesmerized. “I’ll race you. Ready? Once, two, three!” Before she had time to react, Strife began to run to the tree. “Strife! Wait!” Ophelia cried through laughter, running to catch up. Once she was on top, Strife grabbed her into a tight embrace. He began dancing with her, twirling her, and dipping her so low her hair touched the ground. Ophelia couldn’t stop giggling. Never before had she felt so free. Strife then pulled her into him and together, they collapsed in the grass cuddling each other. Strife took the time to look at her. He stared into her dark, sultry eyes and took a handful of her hair gently interlacing the red strands in his fingers. He sniffed her hair; smelling her sweet, lemon scented soap. He could also smell her excitement that radiated from her womb. The temptation to take her - tohave her under the anticipation of his will only - was strong. Strife trailed his fingers to her plump lips before kissing her. Not wanting to make love to her with her back pressed hard against the tree, he gently let her lay down in the soft blankets of grass. Ophelia giggled like the little girl she used to be as Strife took a hold of her hips. He went to work on unlacing her dress slowly. Ophelia, not wanting to look starving for his flesh tried her best to not beg; but it was too hard. Strife kissed her neck, all the way down to the middle of her breasts. He reached up her skirt and gently began to trace his fingers up her thighs. Ophelia whimpered. His fingers gently stroked her pussy through her panties. Ophelia touched his chest, running her hands down his tight abs. Once Strife removed her panties, he lifted her dress and bowed his head down to kiss her inner thighs… “Strife! Your tongue is so gentle…” Ophelia cried out giving her fingers a dainty little lick. Her free hand went to caress her breasts. Her nipples erect and hard. She almost forgot how she neglected to wear a bra. “You taste so sweet, Princess.” Strife commented lewdly. It only took a few flicks of his tongue until she came; coating his chin and face in her hot cream. Ophelia writhed and moaned the rider’s name into the chill of the realm’s air. “So sweet. Just like you.” Strife said kissing her belly. “Strife…I want to touch you as we make love.” Ophelia whispered deliriously. Her face flushed, hair plastered to her face, her breaths slow, and rapid at the same time. Strife paused momentarily to remove his vest, his cloth pants, his undergarments, until his manhood stood hard and painfully erect. Ophelia sat up and snuggled in to Strife. She traced her hands over his chest and abs. She cuddled his neck as he played with her hair. She held the warm young nephilim to her. The heat of his body was so special to her. Death was always so cold. Not that she’d expect any less from the reaper himself. Ophelia kissed his nipple. She licked it, and took it into her mouth. Strife moaned as her tongue lapped at his hard nipple. She enjoyed the taste of his sweat, his flesh. Strife grinned flashing his sharp teeth. He could still taste her. Gently, he pushed her onto the grass; licking her earlobe, kissing her neck, and swells of her breasts. “Get on your knees, my little princess. I want to see your cute little ass as I fuck you.” Strife paused momentarily; to whisper.  Ophelia - like a cat - arched her back and pressed her palms into the grass. Strife delighted in watching her succulent ass turn red under his slaps, her buttocks jiggle deliciously. Her giggles, her moans, her sighs, he all took pleasure in indulging himself with causing her pain and pleasure. He even pulled her hair - to which she didn’t mind at all. It only made her arch deeper. He released inside her twice. Filling her to the brim with his seed that warmed her insides and engorged her tummy. Upon his third release, he pulled out and let it splatter her lower back. Ophelia arched as high as she could go, as his hot liquid coursed down her skin and settled into her dimples. Her buttocks were still tender from his repetitive slaps. His surprisingly soft hands pulled her into him. Together, they nestled up at the base of the tree and held onto each other. “I love you, little one.” Strife said kissing her head. Ophelia blushed. Her cheeks becoming as hot as embers. Her heart fluttering. “I love you, Strife.” She said back, truly meaning it. Soon, Ophelia found herself asleep in the cool shade and muscular arms of the horseman. It was December. Fresh snow had began to fall in the world she was in and back on Earth as well. Death had given her a status update one morning while she was having breakfast with him. This was the first time they had sat down together civilly. Usually and more often, he would appear in the bedroom after she had finished her work to fuck her. She had orgasms. Many by him. And although his manhood was twice as bigger and more rippled and rigid than Strife’s, she couldn’t help but think of him when she came. Something about Death had excited her. There were many factors. And what mattered most of all was his attitude shift. Yes he would still rape her, many times even while she was working. He would watch her on her hands and knees scrub the floor giving him the perfect view of her derriere, then pounce on her. It hurt, she would bleed. Then there were other times when he would show her kindness such as giving her wine, sometimes even a flower crown he had purchased off in the plains he visite. She thanked him. She kissed him. Afterwards, they would make love. But in the same way, she hated him. The snow that had once given her so much hope, so much happiness was only a marking of how much time she had spent at the castle. When she had first arrived, she remembered that it was September. She had just been starting her senior year at Ellison Creek High School in New York. She remembered when she had got home from school, she set her bag down, did the dishes and took out her homework. As she flicked on the TV to watch her favorite show, she found in horror that all the channels had been turned to the news. END DAYS NEAR? APOCALYPTIC DOOMSDAY SHELTERS APPEARING WITHIN BACKYARDS OF SUBURBAN HOMES. DEMON-LIKE CREATURES SPOTTED IN THE SKIES. SPONTANEOUS METEOR SHOWERS AND LOCUST INVASIONS IN THE WEST COAST AND MIDWEST. She had called her mother from work to ask is she had heard the news. The world went into complete panic the next day. That was when her and her mother were evacuated into the high school. She had only gotten a glimpse of what was to come as military officials herded her and her mother out of their apartment - after they had gathered as much of their stuff as they needed. For Ophelia, the snow used to mean love, purity, a pain to drive in, and Christmas. Now it was dread. Her period was off. She remembered it had clearly started in the beginning of November. They were usually on time, even in the shelter. Sometimes they would arrive no more than three days later. But this was different. She could feel something was wrong. Ophelia had woke before her usual wake up time to urinate. As she came back from the bathroom, she felt swollen in her breasts and she could scarcely breathe. She felt as if she might vomit. She even fell to her knees and started dry heaving. Nothing. Her womb began to ache. Oh God…I can’t be…Oh no what if I am? The pain in her womb became stronger. She clutched on to it through her robe and began to cry. It hurt so bad. This woke Death up from his sleep. “Ophelia? What is it?” He asked, bleary-eyed.  “I hurt.” She choked out through tears. Death threw the covers off and knelt down beside her. “Can you stand?” He asked sounding genuinely concerned. “Yeah. I think so.” Using Death’s arm as balance, she let him take her to bed. He didn’t put the covers on her. Instead, he stood over her and put his hand to her forehead. “You don’t feel warm. Where does it hurt?” Death inquired. Should she tell him? “My belly.” She said instead. “Do you feel sick?” “Yeah.” She said through tears. “Here, let me get you some water.” Death left quickly. Ophelia began to sob. Her mind raced like a fever dream. Why didn’t I get pregnant from Death? From War? From…Wait…. The pain in her womb began to subside. The nausea however, grew worse. Death entered shortly and held a tin of cold water up to her lips. “Drink.” He said, simply.  She did so. “Are you still in pain?” Ophelia shook her head. “I’m fine thank you. I just feel like I’m gonna throw up.” “Go back to sleep. You’re excused from work. Only until you recover.” Death declared, curtly.  Ophelia nodded. Death brought the covers up to her shoulders and slipped in beside her to embrace her. He held her until she was asleep. Death stayed by her side the next morning; making  sure she was fed with broth and water. The pain in her womb would start out as sharp, then come back as throbbing. She wanted badly to confess to Death, but instead found herself bursting into tears whenever she tried. Death finally had it. He lost his patience with her. “What is it?!? Can’t you tell me?” “Am…I gonna die?” She asked quietly. Her tears running down her cheeks. Death looked at her with skepticism. “Of course not. If you aren’t better within the next couple days then I’ll take you to someone I know who can help. You’re just sick. You’ll make yourself worse if you keep crying like that. Just rest.” Ophelia nodded, although she knew it was more than just being sick. The next day wasn’t much better for her either. She suffered from bouts of morning sickness. Having to clamber out of bed and vomit. That was when she knew it was time to confess. “Death?” Ophelia asked that morning as Death spooned her broth by her bedside. “What is it, Ophelia?” Death asked bringing the spoon up to her lips. “I…I think I’m pregnant.” She said, readily. “That’s not possible,” He said as-a-matter-of-factly. “Eat.” “Not with your child. With Strife’s.” He stopped. She was afraid he would hit her as she watched him slowly rise up. Instead, he grabbed the bowl and threw it across the room. They both watched it smash against the door in an explosion of broth drool and porcelain glass. “Where is he?!” He screamed at her. Ophelia brought her hands up to her chest and started trembling. “Death please don’t-!” She pleaded.  “Where is that bastard?! Tell me!” He screamed at her. His hands balled up into tight fists. Creating indents in his clay-like flesh.  “I - I don’t know!” Ophelia screamed equally as loud; tears welling up in her eyes. Death narrowed his eyes at her - as if in disgust - and stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him. Ophelia was left speechless. She cradled her face in her hands and sobbed long and hard until her throat ached.   Ophelia lay lifeless in the bath; letting herself completely lose herself in the warmth and embrace of the water. Her entire body except her face, her belly, and her breasts completely submerged. Her breasts had swelled, as had her belly which she rubbed lovingly with her hands. She would talk to it; smiling at the thought that there was another life inside her. Strife’s child.Herchild. She hadn’t seen Strife since the day he had taken her to the realm. Death had forbid it. She enjoyed her alone time. Ever since Death had sent her back to work, she had been harassed and taunted by the servants she had crossed paths with. They belonged to the other half of the castle. Death had told her that they were his mother's pets, but would tell her no more. They looked like human woman - save for their teeth, skin color, and eyes. They wore scarlet hoods, with long green hair, and partially exposed skin. Ophelia imagined them as being succubus. She would hear them talk badly about her. Sometimes they would pinch her derriere and call her a little whore. “It seems Strife has took a liking to her…” “What a wench she is!” “That little waif? I didn’t know the horsemen liked them so young.” “Her especially. She’s hardly more than a child.” Both of them would cackle while poor Ophelia would try to ignore; tear-stained eyes and scrubbing the dishes.  One of the servant woman kicked her in the ass while she scrubbed at the filthy cobblestone tiles on her hands and knees. She stumbled; grabbing the barrel of water until it toppled over - splashing on her and her staining her dress in filthy water. While Ophelia sobbed in humiliation, the servants would giggle and run up the stairs leaving poor Ophelia to come up with an excuse to Death on why her dress was caked in filth. After the day was over, that was when she had all the time in the world with her baby. She had come up with names in her head. All girl names. Her intuition told her it was female. She thought about naming her after her mother, Claudia. Soon, the water became cold and needed to be drained. Once she stepped out, she dressed in a robe and made her way to the overstuffed armchair next to the beautiful painted window. She told her baby about her life before. What she would do for fun with her friends and sing to her. “You’re the greatest gift I’ve ever received after I was brought here. If only I could see your father.” Ophelia said to her tummy as she rubbed her hands over it gently. She leaned back looking out the glass into the faint traces of the stars. Her mind dawdled to Strife. Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door. “Strife!” She called throwing her arms on him once she opened the door. “Shh..” He carried her with one arm into the room and shut the door behind him “Oh Strife. Your lip.” The young nephilim’s bottom lip had a visible slice right in the corner. “It’s alright. Can’t even feel it. Death hit me pretty good.” Strife laughed, dryly.  “Strife, I’m so sorry.” Ophelia said warmly, holding his hand. “Don’t. It is in no way your fault.” Strife kissed her head. Ophelia led him to the armchair. “Did you hear?” She asked, after she had sat down. Strife nodded. “Let me feel.” Strife placed his warm hand on her belly. Immediately, the child responded to his touch and kicked happily upon sensing her father. Ophelia was overjoyed. She had kicked twice that day. First, when her mother was in the bath talking to her and now, for Strife. “She kicked! Strife, she kicked for you!” Ophelia cried, glowingly.  “She? Aww, that’s too bad. And I was just settling on the name Corbin.” Strife said, much to his dismay. Ophelia couldn’t help but giggle. “We’re not naming our child Corbin.” She teased.  Strife tilted his head. “Why? Whatever's the matter with the name Corbin? It’s strong, determined. Everything that a Nephilim man should be.” Ophelia shook her head, unable to suppress her smile. “I can feel that she’s a girl. I don’t know Strife. Something just tells me.” Ophelia placed her hand on her belly. “Claudia. We’ll name her Claudia after my mother.”  Strife placed his hand over hers. “Claudia is a beautiful name.” Strife said in agreement.  So it was decided.   Sometimes, Fury or War would come to visit Ophelia from the otherside of the castle. She loved the affection they showed. But most of all, she loved how much nicer they were being both to her and to her baby. Fury especially, now that she would have a niece. “Have you thought on a name yet?” Fury asked Ophelia one night while they were having a late night cup of tea that Ophelia had made. “Claudia. After my sweet mother.” Ophelia had told her, proudly. “Claudia.” Fury said, staring at Ophelia’s plump tummy. “May I?” She asked. “Of course.” Ophelia moved in closer to Fury allowing her to touch. “She’s kicking.” Fury noted, smiling. “She already loves you.” Ophelia replied with a smile. For the first time in such a while, Ophelia was happy. Death had even showed support for her. He would let her sleep more, let her go outside more, and even begun to show her genuine affection. She still was confined to his bedroom, but at least he was loving her. Things had finally seemed much better. But like the snow, it didn’t last very long. Ophelia had woken up one morning to pain in her lower back. It started as a throbbing, sharp pain that soon traveled down to her pelvis. She sat up in bed and started to groan. Suddenly, she couldn’t breathe. She had to vomit. She ran to the bedroom - stumbling to relieve herself. In a dream, she tried to make her way out of the bathroom but instead found herself clutching the threshold. I can’t be going into early labor…I’m still in my second trimester…Unless…..Oh no it couldn’t be….No, no its not. Oh God please don’t let it be….. She felt something hot, sticky, and warm, run down her legs - staining her nightgown crimson red. Blood coursed down her legs, pattering to the floor like raindrops. One look, and she fainted.   Ophelia found herself naked underneath a leather blanket on a primitive bed staring up at the midnight sky. By her side were the four Nephilim. They all stared at her solemnly except for Strife and Death who’s gaze was cased askew. Death was playing idly with his thumbs while hunching over a wooden chair, Strife was looking to the ground with his hands in his pockets. Fury was chewing on one of her long nails and War was standing against the brick wall of wherever she was. His eyes obscured by his red hood, blocking out whatever emotion showed in them. With his back to her was a large man with russet hair dressed in a bearskin cloak. “Where am I? My baby… Is she?” Ophelia choked out, clutching the blankets with both her hands.  The man turned to her. He had an ancient face, a braided beard, and kind, green eyes that glistened with sadness. “Hello Miss Ophelia. I am Solas. A healer…” His voice trailed off. He opened his mouth to speak, but only sighed. He turned around and produced a cup of hot tea. “Drink please…” He gently commanded.  “Where am I? My baby.” Ophelia repeated, less rushed.  The healer looked at the horseman. Death shot him a defeated look - as if to say “Go on.” “My deepest apologies, Miss Ophelia. You have had a miscarriage.” “Miscarriage? Oh God…No…” Ophelia started to cry - hard and anguished. This had to have been a nightmare. Just some horrible dream brought on to her by the greatest fear of losing the little life inside her. But by the look of Death’s usually solemn, unafraid face - now overshadowed with something she could only describe as apologetic - It was clear that this was no dream. The whole room was enshrouded with silence… Finally, Solas broke it pressing her to drink. “It will ease the pain. You'll be able to sleep better.” Ophelia to in shock to speak any further, drank.  Absently, her tears spilled down her face and stained the blanket. “Rest now. Tomorrow you’ll be leaving. Miss, I wish there was more I could say. I am truly sorry.” Solas consoled. “Leave her be.” Death ordered to the maker. “I appreciate your help, Solas. But she needs rest.” Solas nodded with understanding. “If she starts ceasing…Well, you know were to find me.” Death nodded, turning his focus onto Ophelia. Her tears no more. Instead, she stared at the stars - not speaking - nor moving. A flurry of snow had fallen the next morning; urging the horsemen to take their leave. Death bundled Ophelia up in as much blanket as he could find in the little establishment. Even the thought of hypothermia didn’t scare Ophelia as much as it would have. What else had she to live for? Everyone she knew was gone. The life inside her was as well. As fresh and new as snow, now rotted out and dead. Leaving her just like the lives she had once knew. Once they were back at the castle, Death ran a hot bath for her. “Step in. I’ll wash you. Here.” The poor child had gone limp as he washed her back, her hair. She just sat there with her knees to her chin staring, staring at absolutely nothing. Feeling nothing. She fell into a dreamless sleep once he put her to bed.   Ophelia hasn’t eaten in days. Nor drank a whole lot either. She isn’t showing any signs of improving. She’s trapped in herself. In this dream that I can’t wake her from. She won’t stir. She looks right through me. I can’t do much to help her. Just wait. Poor child. I know it was wrong of me to hit Strife - to smash his lip. Ophelia had loved him. And he loved her. I should have kept her sacred. All the times I raped her, hit her, bruised her - I enjoyed it. And as sick as it sounds… I can’t say I regret it. She needs to be put in her place. No…The Nephilim were sterile! I still can’t wrap my brain around how she became pregnant from my brother’s seed. Never mind that. Once Ophelia comes around, she will be mine. And if I have to hit her or rape her just to get her to listen to me, then damn it. So be it. ***** Nathan ***** Chapter Summary Ophelia makes a furry friend. Chapter Notes See the end of the chapter for notes Ophelia's P.O.V Death has been a lot nicer to me ever since I lost Claudia. Sure he still yells - and recently, he spanked me for dirtying my dress yet again. But all in all, he has been showing genuine concern for me. He insisted that I go back to work, so I've been working for most of the week. Mostly indoors because of the snow. But when it melts, I'll be able to go outside like I used to. It feels weird missing Christmas. I've been missing my mother a lot lately. She was such a beautiful, strong woman. I never knew my father. My mother was always there. Making sure I stayed on track with my school work, making sure I was provided for, giving me pep talks when it came to anything from boys, to cheer tryouts. Sometimes there are days when Death asks me about my past. Whenever he goes back to Earth, I try to talk him into letting me come just to see the wreckage. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find her. Sad thing is, I don't really recall what happened during that day anymore. Even though only four months have passed, I just can't remember a thing. I remember hiding in the cabinet…But that's all. I just can't believe that if that place did give out, If one of those flying things got to them, wouldn't there at least be one survivor - if not a few? I feel like Death's hiding something from me. I suppose for now I should just look forward to leaving the castle. I want to find Strife, but I can't just go look for him now. Death will get me and he'll bruise me. There's a bruise on my left buttock that I don't want Strife to see. Already its turned a dark, ugly, splotchy purple. I can't let him see that. I'm trying to think of the good things to come. Just gotta get outside and clear my head. Just gotta clear my head… The snow had all but melted as Ophelia took her first step outside. The air was crisp, but just warm enough to wear her usual slave dress. Ever since Death had accompanied her to work, he forbid her from wearing panties. Today he had been trusting of her and decided it was best to let her be on her own. But that still didn't mean she was completely free of him. "I'll be back noontime. Straighten the stables up a bit and then maybe I'll take you riding in the valley if you would like." Death instructed as he led Ophelia into the barn. Ophelia gave Death a thankful, trusting look and stepped in to fetch the rake to settle the hay - like usual - into one pile. "And Ophelia?" Death - having already turned on his heels, faced back to her. There was a calmness in his voice that sounded almost genuinely concerned. Ophelia met his gaze. His eyes were burning with something that Ophelia could only describe as sympathy. She could tell that whatever emotion he was conveying in his eyes was sincere. He wanted to say he was sorry. Wanted to tell her that it would be all better, but instead he found himself sighing and making his way toward the castle. Ophelia watched him until he vanished from sight. Tears running down her cheeks. Her mind craved for attention from Death, her captor. She wanted him to hold her like he had done the second day she arrived. Instead, she too found herself without words. Somberly, she made her way to the other side of the room to grab the rake. Ophelia sat cross-legged on the barn floor scrubbing the dirty bridles in the washbasin. She stared at the tainted water absently. It had been such a pure, clear color now it was filthy with bits of dirt and grime floating to the top. Ophelia wrung the soaked object out and set it to dry on the post. Just then, she heard a high pitched whine. She jumped; startled by the sudden noise, and craned her head to the entrance. Sitting there with it's head cocked to the side was a large Deerhound. Once he caught Ophelia's gaze, he stuck his tongue out and barked happily. "Hey boy. Who might you belong to?" Ophelia asked smiling. She slowly made her way toward the animal and held her hand out for him to sniff. He gave it two wet licks. Ophelia got down on her knees and stroked the dog's neck. He licked her face and wagged his tail. Then he pulled away, and pranced over to the entrance where he stretched his paws on the ground and stuck his hindquarters out. "You wanna play? Wanna play, boy? What's your name?" Ophelia cooed.  The dog barked and clacked his teeth together. Ophelia giggled. Wait. A dog…Does that mean there's a human nearby? Maybe someone looking for their pup? Ophelia abruptly stood to her feet - causing the animal to run up to her, jumping and urging her to play. Maybe I should let Death kn-No! No he might harm the poor creature. Ophelia looked to the dog who know stood at her feet. He whimpered at her unwavering self, and yapped sadly. "I'm sorry, pup but you can't be here. - I don't want to let you go -"If Death finds you here..." Just then, she heard the crunch of sticks breaking under heavy steel-tipped boots. "Ophelia?" Death stood before them. Both girl and dog looked at him. Death narrowed his eyes at the hound who was already growling. He stood in front of Ophelia ready to pounce. His teeth barred, his growls becoming fierce, and hostile. Death's spine straightened as if he was planning to strike the beast out of his way. "No!" Ophelia stood between them. Without waiting for her reaction, Death grabbed her sharply by the shoulder and placed her behind him. "Ophelia leave. Now!" Death snapped. "Death, no! He's my friend!" Ophelia ran out from behind Death and hugged the canine. The dog still wouldn't surrender. "Shhh… It's okay. It's okay. He's not bad…" Yes he is pounce on him rip his fucking throat out. "I thought it was attacking you." Death said, a little more calmly. "Oh please don't hurt him, Death! I think he's lost." Ophelia begged. Death grunted. "He might be a maker's canine. I've seen a great many with one's like these. Very well. But if that beast so much as bares it's teeth at me again, I will have no problem ending it." Death affirmed.  "Thank you, thank you Death." Ophelia snuggled the dog who licked her face lovingly. Death confided the dog to an empty chamber in the east wing of the castle. A cold, eerie place to say the least. Luckily, there was an animal fur rug in which the dog could lounge on. Across from it was an unused fireplace that Ophelia could use as a heat and light source when she came to visit him. She asked Death if he could fashion a leash out for him and a collar. He agreed, and strictly told her that she was allowed to visit him as many times a day as she wanted. But only then. At night, she was only allowed to stay where he was. She fetched a pail of water and a couple pieces of dried salted meat from the pantry and brought them to the dog. Once he finished eating, he snuggled on the rug where Ophelia lay with him in the dark. Together, they fell asleep until Death roused her and took her to his room. Ophelia decided on the name Nathan which he immediately took a liking to. She was completely overjoyed at the prospect of having a new companion. Ophelia would take him on walks around the castle, let him run around in the woods, and give him baths in the stables. "Nathan don't shake!" Ophelia would scold - only to soon find herself laughing as droplets of water clung to her hair, her clothes, and her skin. Then she would pull the towel over him and hug him tightly to her. Nathan was truly her savior. Chapter End Notes Hey guys! Yeah no erotic elements in this chapter, I know. I mostly added this in to soften the trauma Ophelia experienced in the previous one. Fun Fact: Ophelia and Nathan's bond was inspired by Karana and Rontu's from one of my favorite books, Island of the Blue Dolphins. Be prepared for the next chapter. It's gonna be brutal, and filled with- lets just say many surprises. Also! Ophelia's thoughts are supposed to seem crammed together to show how she's constantly in survival mode. Just wanted to establish that so nobody gets confused. - Heather ***** Candied Apples ***** Chapter Summary Ophelia has a horrifying, but strangely erotic encounter. Something had to have been wrong. On this particular night, Death wasn't in his room with Ophelia where he should have been. He had been so kind to her these past few days. Even the love they made was different. True he was rough and he still smacked her; but it felt different somehow. She couldn't explain it. Whenever he left her, it scared her.  Ophelia got a quick bath to distract herself from Death's absence. Afterwards, she slipped into her usual lace robe. She let the bust hang out, no reason not to. It was cold, and everybody was probably asleep. As quiet as a cat, Ophelia slipped out of her room and headed towards the chamber where Nathan was sleeping. The castle was cold and dark. Her nipples reacted to the freezing chill by perking up through her robe. The soft fabric rubbed up against her shaved, chafed cunny with each step she took. Just as she made her way up the winding stairway, she felt two chilling hands grab her waist. Ophelia screamed and tried to whip her head around to see who or what had their hold on her. "Death? I'm sorry. You were-What?" Ophelia heard a feminine giggle from around her. She saw the faint outline of pale, glowing eyes. She felt their hands slip around her waist followed by short fingernails digging into her skin. Another hand was clasped on her mouth. One of the hands around her waist crept up to touch her breasts. It seized her left one, and began to squeeze her nipple. Ophelia bucked her hips and tried her best to be free. She tried licking the hand around her mouth, but it seemed to excite the creature even more. Ophelia flailed - causing her perpetrator to press her closer to their body. She felt their breasts against her back and something...hard as well resting in between her buttocks. It felt strangely like a cock, but wasn't this creature female? Ophelia, - from fear - began to swoon… Ophelia sleepily opened her eyes. She awakened with the front of her robe opened - her breasts in full view- cold, and frightened on a stained, loveseat. She tried to get up, but thick leather had bound her wrists to the cushions from which she lay. Instead, she could only lie on her back and nervously turn her head to the only source of light around her. Candles had been lit in the freezing, musk-smelling chamber. Her eyes paced from the left to the right, then to the iron door at the very end of the confined space. It was bolted from inside out by many chains and locks. Ophelia had the strange sense of eyes upon her; but it was impossible to see the other section of the room. For it was obscured by shadows. Just then, a figure stepped out. She - or so Ophelia thought at first - had pale, almost bloodless skin. Her eyes were milky and opaque like War's. Long strands of platinum hair covered the outlines of her breasts. She was clothed in only a white wrap-around skirt. Ophelia made out two frayed upside-down wings protruding from her back. Upon seeing Ophelia, she smiled wide enough to expose glistening, white teeth; sharp enough to latch on to Ophelia's skin - if she were hostile. Ophelia turned away from the fallen angel in fear. "Mistress, she's awake now. May I?" The angel spoke in a delicate voice, prompting Ophelia to look at her.  She looked to be about the same age as Ophelia herself. Perhaps slightly older, maybe nineteen or twenty at most. "Not yet. You must obey me, Phoenix. If you do not, I will punish you." One of the sweetest, softest voices Ophelia had ever heard commanded from within the shadows. Ophelia craned her head to the source of the voice and found herself staring into a pair of yellow, glowing eyes. From the way they narrowed and the candle- glow reflecting off of them, she could tell that the creature was smiling.  "Yes, Mistress Lilith." Phoenix said with a polite, but impatient curtsy. "Very good. Now, walk over to her."  "Wait!" Ophelia cried. "Where am I? Where's Death? Who are you?" Ophelia directed her questions to either of them.  The unknown source giggled. "Sweet child. I'm sure Death has much to say about me. I am Lilith. Mother of Demons, Death's mother as much as he repels the truth. My little servant here, you have already been acquainted with Phoenix - saw you, captured you for her own and my own, and now you belong to us. You are our treasure. You are my slave." Slave? Hadn't she done this dance already? "No, I can't be your slave! Death already owns me…and if he finds me here, he might kill me. Please, you have to let me go." Ophelia implored with tears welling in her eyes.  Lilith tsked like a mother who was watching her spoiled child cry over a broken doll. "My son. Mmm, the fun we've had in this room together. But that was decades ago and now he rarely pays me visits. Such a curious boy he was…" Lilith's voice trailed off almost to a whisper as if Ophelia wasn't there. "If he should come around, I suppose he'll just have to bet on you again." The tone in her voice made it clear that there was no other way out. Ophelia began to cry silently. "Poor child. Phoenix, go over to her and tie her loose." Lilith ordered.  Phoenix gave her mistress a subtle nod before appearing behind Ophelia. Soon, her hands were free and she had control once more. She sat up on the loveseat and looked to the angel with fear and distrust as she tried to obscure her breasts with her robe. "It's been so long since I've had the pleasure of a human female." Phoenix confessed - reaching out to stroke Ophelia's face. Ophelia backed further into the love-seat with a frightened   a whimper. "Now, Phoenix. Lift up your skirt." Lilith's voice infiltrated the room like a sweet-smelling perfume .  Ophelia started to tremble. "Please, I don't like girls!" Ophelia pleaded.  "Oh, but I'm not a girl, miss. Not anymore." Phoenix piped with an innocent, calmness in her voice.  Phoenix lifted her skirt much to Ophelia's horror. For she was greeted by a very well-hung length. Ophelia couldn't fathom what she was seeing. "W-w-what a-are you?" She choked out. "Once a young angel sentinel named Valencia, she desired something much more than her celestial body could offer. She came to me and requested a small amend," Lilith explained, her eyes igniting with every word.  "Touch it, Slave of Death." That very name brought chills to Ophelia's body. It was the calmness in her voice that made her do so. Trembling, Ophelia brought her hand to the female's length and clasped it softly, like she would with Death and his brothers. "Pull it, Slave." That soft, almost nurturing voice urged. Ophelia used both of her hands to stroke it up and down. Feeling every pulsing vein. The fallen angel moaned - desiring nothing more than to release her seed all over the young girl's face. Ophelia continued the stimulation the best way she knew how. She had done this to Death many times. Unlike his, this one was warm and pulsing with life. Finally, the angel did release - grabbing a fistful of Ophelia's curls. Her seed spurted on her hands. Some - on her cheek and robe. Ophelia cried out. The warm liquid was strange to her. She couldn't remember the last time she had felt Strife's against her skin. "Lick it. Suck it off your skin, pretty girl." Lilith addressed to Ophelia.  Ophelia wiped her left cheek to taste Phoenix's cream. It was warm. So warm against the chill of the chamber. Ophelia licked the remaining seed off her fingers, sucking them free of any leftover traces her tongue failed to get. To finish it off, she licked her lips slowly  much to Phoenix's interest. "Phoenix. She is yours to command for the next half. Have your fun with her. Then maybe, I'll join in." "Oh Mistress, I've never taken two woman at the same time!" She confessed happily. Phoenix focused her attention to Ophelia. Ophelia looked back at her with shame and fear. She couldn't believe she had sucked this creature's cock. "Go to the loveseat." Demanded Phoenix, feeling herself harden just at the thought of ravishing the girl and using her power against her. Ophelia quickly obeyed - perhaps even a little too abruptly. Phoenix grinned as she made her way towards the frightened teen on the couch. She placed her hands on her legs and slowly trailed them up to her thighs until her robe rose past her waist. Phoenix's pupils dilated in the most alarming way as she took in the site of Ophelia's mons pubis. Ophelia trembled, wincing as she felt the fallen angel spread her legs as wide as they could go. Upon seeing her pink, hot flesh for the first time, Phoenix gasped. She whispered something in that same archaic language Death spoke. Suddenly, appearing from the shadows stepped out a female demon - adorned in something that would be nearly impossible to call a dress. The skin-tight fabric outlined her pussy perfectly, as did the armor surrounding and providing very little support for her large breasts that bounced with each step. Her skin was the same tinge as Death's. Her eyes were as bright as a cat's in the night. Her tail lashed back and forth with the clinks of her high heeled stilettos. In her hands, she was holding something that looked to be a wooden prosthetic. Had Ophelia not already felt as vulnerable as she did now, she would she have noticed what it was. "No!" Ophelia cried out, arching her back in the love-seat. Her breasts jiggled with every frightened motion - much to the interest of Lilith and her young servant. "Precious, girl. You deserve something special to go in that slutty little pussy of yours. How about this? Hmm? Know what it might be?" Lilith purred, teasingly.  Phoenix leaned over to Ophelia's breasts. No, no don't." Ophelia whinned as the angel planted soft kisses on both of her nipples until taking one into her mouth to suck and taste. Ophelia felt her nipples become longer, harder. "No, I don't like girls." Ophelia repeated once more. Her quim becoming hotter, wetter. Why? She never liked girls. "That's not what your pretty cunt is telling me. Phoenix, hold the little princess still." Lilith ordered as she made her way towards Ophelia, her grip firm on the wooden prosthetic. "No, no! Nghhhh!" Ophelia moaned, incoherently.  Lilith traced the wooden dildo over Ophelia's cunny. Ophelia felt tears well up in her eyes. She turned away, unable to look at the monstrous thing touching her vulnerable pussy. There was pain, yes. But at the same time, she felt pleasure. With a smile, Lilith fit the wooden dildo inside Ophelia's tight hole as Phoenix stimulated her nipples with her tongue. Ophelia's vagina tightened from the intrusion of the object inside her. "Mmm…Mmmm…. Jesus! No…" Ophelia cried out, arching her back in the curve of the loveseat. Her flesh becoming wetter and wetter with each thrust of the dildo. She felt herself start to succumb to the lust the sinful object was fueling in her. Phoenix released Ophelia's nipple and looked to her mistress who was tauntingly thrusting the phallic toy in and out of Ophelia. Following were long, translucent rivulets of Ophelia's cum.  "Oh, Mistress... Please let me try! Her smell is enchanting. I must take over." Phoenix pleaded. "Very well. Then afterwards, I'll let you have a little taste." Lilith promised as she lithely stepped out of the way to let her slave have a go. Phoenix excitedly took the dildo and slowly - but forcefully, inserted the phallus inside Ophelia until the wood became darker and wetter prompting Ophelia to moan and writhe deliciously. "Ah! Fuck…Ah! No, no, no! Mmm, yes! Fuck me… Fuck me more! Jesus, why does this feel so good?" Ophelia babbled, feeling her pussy accept the toy worming deeper inside her young, dripping hole.  Ophelia watched as Phoenix plunged the dildo into her for the seventh time - causing her to release with the toy still inside her. Phoenix slowly pulled it out, causing Ophelia to moan an examined her love juices rolling down and dripping slowly from the toy and on to her fingers. She curiously sniffed the toy - grinning - and gave it a slow, suggestive lick. "She's sweet, mistress. Like a candied apple." Phoenix moaned, divinely.  With a wicked smile, she held her fingers out for Ophelia to taste. Lilith watched the teen sniff her own love juices before taking her two fingers into her slave's mouth and tasting herself. Lilith studied Ophelia's flushed cheeks, her plump lips busily sucking her own wetness off her own pet's fingers, listening to her sweet moans. A perfect little accessory to her slave collection. A whore in training. And Ophelia was still a soft, little flower who was just beginning to bud. Phoenix smiled and tossed the dildo to the side. Unable to resist, she pounced on Ophelia. Their legs intertwined together. Phoenix's cock rested against her thigh. Ophelia could feel her warm pre-cum on her skin. Phoenix tore the robe straight from the younger girl's body and groped her lovely breasts. Ophelia leaned back into the loveseat as she felt Phoenix's lips press to hers. Their tongues sucked each others, coating their chins in each others saliva. Some dripped down to Ophelia's breasts. Ophelia could taste traces of her own pussy juice on Phoenix's tongue. Ophelia, distracted by Phoenix's passionate kiss - yelped as she felt the angel enter her without any warning. Instantly, Ophelia began to buck her hips as the angel constricted and filled inside her. I'm getting fucked by another girl! Her cock is inside me. Oh God, this girl's cock is so good. Mmm, yes… Ophelia stroked Phoenix's tattered wings - careful that she did not pull them out due to the heat of the moment. Ophelia smiled as she heard her pussy squelch wetly with Phoenix's long prick inside her. She could smell her own musk fill chamber. The fallen angel's cock was so long, so warm, so, so good. Phoenix released a little too early for Ophelia's likening. "Phoenix! Yes, yes, yes! Phoenix fuck me! Fuck me!" Ophelia screamed, smiling from the immense pleasure coursing through her young body.  Still keeping inside her, Phoenix kept her one hand on Ophelia's breast while trailing her free hand down to her clitoris that was already swollen and engorged with blood. Phoenix thumbed it, and began rubbing it with her fingernail - in small, circular movements. "Oh Fuck! Fuck, I'll go crazy if you keep doing that…Yes! Cum inside me. Cum inside my slutty little hole…Phoenix!" Chanted Ophelia, coquettishly.   Ophelia was in so much pleasure she was drooling down her chin. Phoenix came with a moan that twined with Ophelia's in the now warm chamber. Phoenix released in her three more times before pulling out and splattering the rest of what she had on to Ophelia's thighs as she lay back, exhausted and breathing hard. Still, Ophelia wanted more. "Please, give me more." She demanded softly, innocently. "Such polite manners. Death has taught you well. You will make a perfect succubus." Lilith purred. "Phoenix, turn her around." With a yelp of surprise from Ophelia, Phoenix seized her by her thighs and set her on her knees with her ass arched high in the air. Ophelia's slickness still coated the dildo in a shiny gloss. Phoenix fit the prosthetic inside her until only the tips of her fingers clutched the end of the wood. Ophelia had only been penetrated in the ass by Death, once. Luckily for her, her warm sex juices provided perfect lubricant. "Mmm, no! Oh yes…. yes, Phoenix! Fuck my butt. Fill me up…. yes…." Ophelia blushed as she moaned the words of her lust.  "That's enough of that." Lilith strode over to Ophelia and gently took the object from Phoenix's hand. She grabbed the delirious teen by her shoulders and faced her, taking in the sight of Ophelia's disheveled face before kissing her. The demoness tasted sweet, yet deadly at the same time - like poison. Lilith sucked on Ophelia's tongue until their saliva mingled together in a long, hot strand. Phoenix began to stroke her rising cock as she watched the ladies kiss. Lilith groped Ophelia's breasts and ceased the kiss to whisper into her ear - causing Ophelia to become wetter and hotter. "Touch me like you touch your pussy when you're alone." The demoness ordered licking Ophelia's lobe. Ophelia fingered the outline of Lilith's warm cunt through her fabric. She could feel her wetness through the dress, reasoning that she wasn't wearing panties. She loved hearing Lilith moan. Suddenly, she felt something smooth and protruding tickle her thighs. It was her tail that crawled up her legs and touched her clit. "Lilith! Ahhh, my God! " Lilith's tail entered her briskly. Ophelia could feel the appendage worm itself deeper inside her. Phoenix took this opportunity to bend down and suck on Ophelia's clitoris. Lilith watched with triumph. One taste, whether saliva or sex juice - would forever bind Ophelia to her will. Ophelia came twice from over-stimulation. Lilith watched her young breasts bounce as she took in more of her tail and Phoenix's licks and sucks. Lilith pulled out of her with a succulent squelch; grinning as she watched Ophelia's pussy juice roll down her tail, and piercings. Without giving Ophelia the time to enjoy her afterglow, Lilith fell to her knees and glared at her hot pink, wet pussy with intent. I will make her mine! Lilith seized Ophelia's constricting hole with her tongue. Phoenix was right. She tasted of candied apples. Lilith's tongue delved all the way inside Ophelia. One flick of her tongue to her rough little bundle was enough to send Ophelia into ecstasy. "Ahhhhh! Lilith!" Ophelia came all over Lilith's face coating her in her warm, sweet juices. Phoenix fell to her knees to lick the traces of her love juice off her mistress's face. Just then, the door was kicked in and all three females craned their heads with a gasp to the inhuman figure standing in the doorway. Long, greasy black hair cascaded down muscular cadaverous shoulders. Death was welcomed by the scent of sex, sweat, and perfume from some exotic flower. "What in the abyss have you done?" He spat at Lilith. Eyes widening with horror and revulsion upon seeing his little slave with her legs spread open for his mother and her sex pet. Ophelia was at a loss for words. Her face flushed - not only from the afterglow, but from the shame and embarrassment she felt from Death seeing her in such a wild state that wasn't with him. Now what would become of her? ***** Poison ***** Chapter Summary Ophelia is returned to Vulgrim. Death kept a tight grip on the squirming girl's waist. He had slung her over his shoulder ignoring her screams, kicks, and the pounding blows of her balled fists. "Death! Death, I want to go back! Please…" Ophelia screamed like a little girl throwing a tantrum.   With one swift kick, their bedroom door swung off the hinges. Death angrily walked inside and threw Ophelia on the bed. He had thrown his tattered, blood - smelling cowl on her for warmth as he trudged up the many steps to the bedroom. Now, he forcefully ripped it off her and climbed on her - straddling his hips under hers. Much to her shock, he did not rape her. Instead, he grabbed her by the hair and forced her to look at him.   "What did that filthy harlot do to you? Why are your eyes so glazed? Tell me, now!" Death growled at her. Ophelia - through her tears - tried to speak. "Her slave kidnapped me! I just went to go visit Nathan because you weren't fucking here for me like you said you would be! Every night you said you would be in here, but you weren't! I didn't want to be alone...I- I hate you!" Ophelia raised her voice until it cracked.   She felt rivulets of hot tears course down her cheeks. Her nose was running. She didn't care. Death released his grip from her hair and let her fall back into the pillows. He positioned himself so that he was sitting at the edge of the bed. He pinched the bridge of his nose, exasperatedly. "What exactly did she do to you?" He asked calmer "S-she t-tasted me, I kissed her…Her slave made love to me." Ophelia confessed.   Death grunted.   "I thought I told you to stay put at all times when it's night. I feared this would happen."   Ophelia sat up and grabbed the covers, pulling them up to her chest.   "Death, please don't be angry with me…I'm sorry."   She placed a quivering hand on his muscular shoulder. Her warm touch sending life through his body. "Ophelia? Do you understand how truly precious you are?" Death slightly turned his head to face her.   Her pretty, brown eyes were filled to the brim with tears, her face was tear- stained, her hair was a mess of curls. Ophelia whimpered and let the blanket fall from her naked body. She crawled over to Death and wrapped her little arms around his waist. “Death, what’s gonna happen to me?” She purred as she groped the now well- pronounced bulge in his pants. Death moaned. Still keeping her hand on his engorged manhood, she skulked to the cool tiled floor and undid the bindings from his pants. She was welcomed by Death's very swollen length in her face. “Make yourself quiet. I have to think.” Death demanded, suggestively. Very delicately, she placed his manhood in between her copious breasts and proceeded to give it a squeeze while cupping them. Death smiled wickedly at her and placed a skeletal hand on her head, tugging at her hair. She slowly brought her lips up to the head to give it a little kiss before taking his whole cock into her mouth. Death clutched on to the mattress and tilted his head back in delight. He enjoyed the warmth and wet flesh of his little slave girl's mouth and throat. Within three long sucks, Death came, spilling his seed into her needy mouth. Strands of her saliva, and his sickly chilled cum, dribbled down her chin and breasts in thick, intertwining strands. Ophelia swallowed it all like a delicious drink and looked up into his eyes, smiling through her dainty sucks. "Oh Death, I missed you." Ophelia whined making her way back up to the bed. She clutched to him like a scared child. She kissed his cadaverous neck and collar bone. Death held her by the waist and took her left nipple into his mouth. Ophelia leaned back and moaned as his bluish lips sucked her. Death could feel her becoming hot and wet against his waist. He gave her a couple more teasing sucks until she came just from the stimulation to her nipple. Abruptly, Death flipped Ophelia over his knee until her face was pressed hard against the mattress and her firm little ass stuck out. He held her wrists behind her back. She didn't speak, only braced herself for the rain of spanks against her reddening flesh. She shut her eyes and let her tears run down her face in silent shame. Only until after he was done did she whimper. Death set her back up to face him, only she couldn't meet his gaze. "Now, Ophelia. Do you know why I did that?" He asked gently, brushing a curl away from her face. Ophelia looked like a broken doll. She nodded twice, slowly. "Good girl. Now you may bathe." Death said simply. Excusing her from the humiliation.   Ophelia lay awake  that night in the darkness as Death slept beside her. She couldn't sleep. The room was cold, and although she was wearing a cotton nightdress, her body was hot. She crept her left hand up to her breast and began to rub it softly. She whimpered and pulled her rose-colored nipple through the material, smiling as she felt her cunny become wet through her panties. She hadn't masturbated for a while, and she was beginning to miss her own touch. She could wake up Death, but didn't want to rely on him for sex. Ophelia cried out as she fingered her clitoris. The little bundle of nerves was already as hard as a stone through her panties. She pinched and pulled on it making it grow longer and more engorged until she couldn't take it anymore. She discarded her wet panties and rolled to her stomach for a better angle. With one hand under the pillow, she slipped her finger inside her and gasped at her touch for the first time in months. Her cunt welcomed her fingers in a warm, tight embrace. She moaned and writhed as she came twice - rocking her hips like mad as they squirmed around inside her. Breathing hard and skin flushed, she pulled out of her tight entrance with a succulent squelch and soft moans. Rivulets of her cum ran down her fingers. Ophelia smiled coquettishly as she lay on the bed to catch her breathe. She waited until she came down from her orgasms to head to the bathroom and wash up. Ophelia slept in that morning, causing Death to rouse her. After she dressed, she went to go check on Nathan. Death had escorted her for a fear of his mother's servants stalking the grounds. Upon seeing her, Nathan wagged his tail and jumped on her showering her face in kisses. Ophelia giggled and wrestled with him. "Aww, I missed you too, boy." Ophelia murmured into his fur. After their reunion, Ophelia gave him fresh water and dried meat from the kitchen. She asked Death if she could walk him. "Very well. Then I want you to wash up and check the wardrobe. I may have bought something for you to wear as you slept." "Of course, Death." Said Ophelia as she hurried off to fetch Nathan's collar and leash. Tucked into the very back of the wardrobe was a black corset dress with a short, flounced hem. On the waist were pale, pink ribbons. Ophelia stared at it for quite some time. It was rather out of her taste, but still, an act of kindness from Death made her feel cherished. "Lovely isn't it? Like you." Death appeared from behind her, making her jump. "Yeah, it's beautiful. Thank you, Death." She turned around and stood on her tiptoes to plant a small kiss on Death's strong chest. She stepped out of her robe, giving Death a nice view of her backside and slipped into the dress. Death laced the back up for her causing her to straighten from the feel of his chilling fingers brushing against her skin. "There's somewhere I'd like to take you. When you're ready, you may come downstairs into the foyer." "Okay." Ophelia felt anxious. He was never like this. Something inside her urged her to stay put, or at least go to one of his siblings and speak to them about it. Yet she quickly went against her better judgement and headed for the bathroom. She applied her makeup and blood red lipstick that made her lips appeal plump and alluring, then laced up her usual riding boots. The corset was awfully tight and exposed her cleavage more so than she wanted. She reasoned that this was rather more of a surprise rendezvous if anything. Her birthday was coming, but that wasn't for another month. Besides, he didn't even know when her birthday was. Ophelia tried her best to shake off the feeling of impending dread and hurriedly made her way down the stairs. "Death?" Ophelia called from the top of the steps. Upon seeing her, he smiled so wide that it made Ophelia feel uncomfortable for reasons she couldn't say. "Where are we going?" Ophelia asked as Death helped her on Despair's saddle. "The market." He replied as-a-matter-of-factly. The sharpness in his voice, as if he had already planned this conversation, was enough to hush Ophelia. Instead, she held on to his waist and didn't speak a word until they arrived. The market -or the Goblin Market as Ophelia mentally referred to it as - was filled with everything from clothes, jewels, slaves, prostitutes, and more of Death's kind. Every one of them stared at her, but dare not say a word. Some prostitutes glared at her in envy. Death dismounted his stead. Dust - who had accompanied them - fluttered down from the branches to rest on Despair's saddle. He preened absently at Despair's hanging flesh. "Death, what are we doing here?" Ophelia tried again as Death helped her off the saddle. "I need to talk to Vulgrim. You're included which is why I brought you. I expect you to listen and whatever the demon tells you to do, you do it." "Death you're-? No, no please don't! I want to be with you! What about Nathan? Nathan can't live without me." Tears welled up in Ophelia's eyes. She clung to Death's arm with the mannerisms of a child. "Stop that. You'll ruin your makeup." Death snapped at her. "Death, please why are you doing this?"  In frustration, Death placed his hands on Ophelia's shoulders and pushed her against the tree that Despair was saddled to. "Listen to me. That whore Lilith did something to you. I can tell. You'll soon crave more. By serving my brothers, you will carry out the after effects she supplied to you in your body. You're still young, Ophelia. And my kind is deprived. They will desire what you have. What your young body can give them. You still have purity in you that needs to be cleansed. Only then will I reward you with a higher rank. How would you like to be my little concubine?" Ophelia, her eyes glossy with tears, could hardly speak. "Concubine?" She felt lost.  "If you do this for me, then yes. Prove how much you desire me. Prove to me that Lilith has no effect on you. Please my brothers, and maybe when I return, I will give you a higher status. Sound fair?" "I suppose." Ophelia spoke softly. "But Death, I'm going to miss you." Death cupped her soft face and gave her a kiss on the head. "You've been a good little slave, Ophelia. Be a nice fuckable princess for me. And when I return, I will give you the most lavish pleasantries any woman could desire." Ophelia nodded. "Oh but what about Nathan? Who will watch him when I'm gone?" "I'll let a servant tend to him. He'll be fine. Trust me. I know how much you love the troublesome beast." Death led her to the same post she had arrived to when she was first taken to the realm. Sure enough, Vulgrim recognized her. "Coming back for more, Princess?" Vulgrim snickered, twiddling his cadaverous fingers. Ophelia coward behind Death, glaring distrustfully at the demon. "Precisely." Death gently lead Ophelia to the demon who's snaggled grin became wider with every trembling step she took towards him.   The next morning, Vulgrim had beckoned Ophelia into his tent. "Ophelia, come to me." He rasped, facing her as he spoke.  Ophelia meekly approached him, playing with her hair. His grin was wider, scarier.  "Do you have any notion of what these could be?" Vulgrim questioned holding his palms out. In them were two small, gold barbells. Ophelia backed away with a gasp.  "Oh no...Vulgrim-" Ophelia's voice tremored.  Vulgrim giggled and appeared from behind her. "This will make the experience more...enjoyable". He cackled as he slipped his hand around her waist. He led her to a peeling wooden table near the foot of his bed and lay her on her back on the surface of the table. His hand strayed to caress her smooth thighs from under her dress before ripping the fabric at the bust with his nails. He had to hold her wrists down to retrieve his needle. Once her breasts jiggled in plain view, Vulgrim couldn't help but taste them.  "Mmm! No, no..." Ophelia moaned, squirming as Vulgrim's slimy, black tongue tasted each of her breasts, leaving a thick coat of his saliva on them. Ophelia blushed like mad as he exposed her this way. Upon feeling the pinprick of the needle, and crying out in both pleasure to his stimulation, and seeing the strands of blood that ran down to her tummy, naval, and mons pubis- she fainted.  She awoke later in the mid-afternoon completely naked in her bed. When she tried to move, she cried out at the feel of her nipples brushing against the course animal fur. Suddenly, she remembered what had happened. She slowly pulled the covers off her to examine the steel-gold barbells firmly implanted in her nipples.  My God, he pierced me. They're so sensitive.  Ophelia mused as she admired his skill-full craft. Her new accessories certainly did both parties favors. As the Nephilim men pumped every ounce of their warm gobs of hot seed inside her, her hands would stray to her breasts where she would carefully finger her nipples making her body more flushed, her eyes more lidded, and her clitoris harder than she could ever imagine. Even though her new life had its perks, it was still hard on Ophelia. After she was done taking Death’s brothers for the seventh time, she would run off to the many trees surrounding the place and vomit. She would also cry hysterically while scrubbing blood, cum, and urine out of the sheets she was forced to change after every encounter. She had peed after a Nephilim had fucked her twice. Hot, golden strands had ran down her legs and stained the covers a bright yellow. But the Nephilim didn’t seem to mind. Instead, he seemed to take an interest and spread his legs to suck on her. First her clitoris, then her little, drenched hole. Although she enjoyed and hated the fuckings all the same, it was always the same at night. Curled up in fetal position on the filthy mattress, bawling. Vulgrim would scold her in the morning for her cheeks being puffy, and she was getting tired having to charm him just to get what she wanted. He paid her in fruit. And as kind of a gesture as that might have seem, he would also use it to her advantage. He would pick the ripest, sweetest berries from his basket only to impale them on his long, charcoal-colored nails until the juices would run down his fingers. He would make Ophelia lick them clean before plucking the berries off with her lips and eat them like that. Sometimes, if he was lucky, the juices would run down her strong chin and land on her breasts in sticky droplets. Giving him access to lick them off her skin and in between her heavy mounds. As much as Vulgrim loved souls, the taste of a human female was much more enchanting. Ophelia found herself wondering at night when she couldn’t sleep if Death would approve of her nipple’s being pierced. He didn’t remember Vulgrim discussing that with him when he handed her over. She hoped he wouldn’t hit her when he discovered them. At nights like these, when Ophelia’s mind would stray to Death, there was only one thing that could put her to sleep. Ophelia slowly slid the blankets off of her and let the chill of the night air kiss her body. She felt it tickle her cheeks, her tummy, her breasts, her clitoris. Her hands would creep to the barbells implanted firmly into her sensitive nipples. “Death, how would you feel? How would you feel seeing these in me?” She purred as she fingered her hardened, perked flesh. She continued her stimuli until she would cum, bucking her hips in the air as if she was being fucked by an unseen lover. She would watch with a smile as hot strands of her cum poured down her legs. Unable to take the torture, she would slip her fingers inside her, getting them nice, slimy, and wet prompting her to cum twice until her bladder became full and a stream of urine would follow with her orgasm. Those were nice nights. She no longer thought about Strife. He meant nothing to her. She slept with Death, she prepared his meals, she made love to Death. She wanted Death. And she wanted to be his. Forever.  I will see him soon. I will be his concubine.Ophelia mused to herself before drifting off to sleep. From the stained-glass window that overlooked his bed, Death pressed his hand up to it and muttered to himself in demonic while staring thoughtfully into the night sky. "Multum concubinam." ***** Promise ***** Chapter Summary Ophelia gets a late birthday gift. Chapter Notes See the end of the chapter for notes Ophelia stretched as she awoke with the sun beating down on her face from a hole in the tent. Unknowingly to her, today was her eighteenth birthday. September 7th. The leaves were the color of apple cider. They fell sadly to the ground and covered her tent. She had lost her perception of time with all the whoring she had been doing lately. Ophelia looked around as if trying to remember something important. Reasoning that it was just because of her sleepiness, she shook it off as nothing.   Ophelia had a quick bath in the paint-chipped porcelain tub, dressed in the corset dress Death had gave her, and headed to the market to purchase jewels or whatever caught her interest. Her currency was whatever the demons commanded her to do. Most of the time it was a blowjob. If she was lucky, it would be a handjob. The feeling of sucking down another Nephilim man’s seed still didn’t sit right with her.   Ophelia was just settling on purchasing a beautiful bejeweled choker when something else caught her attention. On the auction stand were two little girls no more than four years old bound together by the wrists. They looked to be a hybrid between Nephilim and Human. Their hair was as black as Death’s. Their skin like clay with a blue tinge. They were clothed in matching cream-colored gowns. The exact ones Ophelia wore upon her first arrival. Their little eyes - as blue as the Caribbean sea - darted back and forth with fear. The one on the left had her head rested on her presumed sister’s shoulder. It was clear to Ophelia, even from so far away, that they were both crying. Ophelia couldn’t stop staring at them. They were so young and so, so frightened. Then, all four eyes were upon her as if pleading for help. For the briefest moment, Ophelia saw herself in them.   “Those children. Why are they up there?” Ophelia addressed the demon behind the counter.   The demon with a crown of horns upon his head, shrugged.   “Perhaps their parents died. Perhaps they're strays. Either way, are you going to purchase that or what, Miss? If so, you know what you have to do for me.” The demon flashed his stained, sharp teeth at her. Ophelia placed the choker down and ran over to Vulgrim who was busy chatting to a Nephilim man in blood- stained armor.   “Vulgrim!” Ophelia interrupted.   The bloody armored demon glared at her plump ass as she ran past him. Ophelia seized Vulgrim by the arm, paying the other no mind.   “Excuse me for one moment,” Vulgrim said with false-charm in his voice - “What do you want? Can’t you see I’m dealing with this gentleman?”   “Vulgrim, do you know anything about the children being auctioned?” Ophelia inquired.   “Most children brought to this realm are either sold into training to be Nephilim soldiers. Others - depending on their status, gender, or age - are sold to nunneries.” Vulgrim said, gruffly.   “No.” Ophelia sank to her knees, helplessly.    Oh those poor little things.   “Now that I’ve informed you, go away unless I need you.” Vulgrim snapped at her to continue with his beguile.   Ophelia wanted to kill him there and then. But had to, of course, restrain herself. Her head spun, and her tummy was in knots. Just as she was about to head to her tent to lie down, the blood-stained Nephilim pinched her ass.   “Vulgrim, how much for this little whore?”     Ophelia lay back in her bed crying. The moon shone down upon her, bright and full as if trying to comfort her. She thought of the little girl’s. She wondered where they could be and imagined that they were just as scared as she was. Her mind wondered to where their parents could be and if they were missing them too. Somehow, those thoughts drifted her off to sleep.    Another day came and Ophelia once more rose from the warmth of her bed.   ”Opheeeliaaa,” Vulgrim sang from outside her tent.   Ophelia grabbed the covers and pulled them up to her chest.   “Ophelia, I have a surprise for you. Come here.” Vulgrim beckoned.   Ophelia obediently stepped out of bed, still in her nightgown, and headed towards his shadow.   Ophelia peered outside and was met by four curious eyes. Orange sclera with bright yellow pupils, iris’s the color of the sea. The two little girls from the auction stand. No longer bound by the wrists, they clung to each others hands as if they feared they would be torn apart. Now close enough to get a good look at them, Ophelia could clearly see the mixture of Nephilim and Human. They both shared resemblance to Death and Lilith as well. On their chest and collarbone were black freckles dotted along their skin. Scrapes and bruises covered their little knees like battle-scars. Ophelia wondered who or what could have done this to them.    “They handed these ragamuffins to me. Since you are the last human female, they decided that they can learn from you.” Vulgrim giggled.    The little girl’s shifted nervously. The one on the right glared up at the merchant. Then to his hands which were firmly planted on each of the girl’s shoulders.   Ophelia quickly took them from Vulgrim and shepherded them into the tent.   Once she was sure Vulgrim was out of earshot, Ophelia knelt down to their eye- line and tried speaking to them.   “You don’t know how happy I am now that you’re here with me.” She confessed feeling herself about to cry. Her voice hushed just in case.    The little girls stared at her, taking in what she was saying. They were too frightened to speak. The one on the left was sucking her fingers.   Ophelia paused momentarily to wipe her eyes.   God, Creator, whoever is up there. Thank you. Thank you for bringing these children to me. My little saviors.   “I’m Ophelia. What are your names?”   The one on the right, the boldest of the pair - spoke first. Softly.   “Evanescence. And this is Teagan.” She said turning her head to the one sucking her fingers. Teagan paused momentarily to stare into Ophelia’s eyes thoughtfully.   “Are you our new mama?” She asked Ophelia, solemnly.   Ophelia felt the tears return. She thought of Claudia. She thought of how happy she was when she had felt her kick for the first time. These children were alone - like herself - they were stuck in a strange world and needed protection.   “Yes.” Ophelia said, allowing the tears to stain her cheeks. “Come here, babies.”   Unexpectedly, Ophelia pulled the children into a tight embrace They held on to each other for quite some time. All of them in an orphan sandwich, crying on to one another's shoulders.    “I’m going to make sure no one lays a fucking hand on either of you.”   Ophelia vowed as she hugged them closer.
