Abyss of Pain

Batria P.O.V

What exactly is her ambition?, it doesn't seem like she only wants the kingdom, her dark red eyes like crimson, she has dabbled in the hands of sorcery and still her main reason for all these is unknown.

The doctor came in and began the treatment for her Brother.

"Batria..psh!" Colin whispers my name, I walked towards him

"Are you okay?, you're getting more pale as the day passes" he looked at me concerned,

"Don't worry about me, why are you here?".

"Toketa says you should be done by now and has summoned you to the dark room and told me to specifically tell you this 'Come and watch to see the reason you're special to me', That's all she said".

Judging that she called me to the dark room, there's going to be a blood bath. I went to the dark room, her standing on a dead girl's body.

"Batria, my darling, come!" she moves her finger indicating me to come closer.

"We've defeated a new kingdom and i got new playthings, the one I'm standing on survived for a few seconds but she died eventually"

"Bring the rest!" she orders.

Two girls and one young man were being dragged in.

The first girl cries as she saw Toketa walk towards her, Toketa fed the first girl her blood, she reluctantly refused but Toketa repeatedly hits her till she finally gives in.

She opens her mouth as a drop of blood fell on her tongue, she licks it.

Toketa watched her quietly, after a while, the girl survived but morphed into a hideous being.

"What's your name?" Toketa asked

"Ma.. Ma.til... Matilda" she shivers.

"Darling, you're the second being to ever survive after taking my blood after HER" she points at me,

"But... you look too hideous to look at, I can't have you looking like that".

Matilda whimpers as she cries gently in a soft voice, seems she has realized she will be killed.

Toketa pierced her heart, blood slurges out, Toketa didn't waver at the sight of so much blood.

The other girl cries, shaking and shivering in fear.

"You're weak, I doubt you can withstand my blood but I'll still give you a chance... to prove yourself".

Tokets grabs her neck, choking her to forcibly open her mouth, a drop of blood drops on her tongue, instantly her body splatters around.

"Hahaha, I was right, she couldn't even die with her body in whole form".

Toketa moves to the young man, he showed no sign of fear and didn't even flinch.

"Open up"

He obediently listens as she drops a bit of her blood on his tongue, he falls to the ground, groaning and screaming.

Toketa watches him silently lost in thoughts.

I still don't understand why a god-like being like her, so powerful, so great, still has fear in her heart for a certain being that no one knows, she keeps testing new playthings to gather more stronger being only because there's something she's afraid of, I fear the day that being she fears comes to life.

I'm brought back from my thoughts by his wails and groaning.

Toketa still watching him but with a dark smile, he is finally relieved from the pain, covered in sweat and tears all over his face.

"Finally! a new subject of mine, Stand up"

His legs quivers as he forcefully tries to stand.

"Head up, your name is now Orpheus", she says

"I'll increase the dose to two drops of blood, if I forcefully make you take more than you can take you might die, so for now rest" she caresses his face, Orpheus gives a bright relieved smile.

"Batria, prepare a room for him, and teach him all the things he needs to know about being my special chosen one" She walks away.

Orpheus looks relieved as he stares at the dead bodies of the two girls.

"You might think you're lucky by being alive but they're the lucky ones" I said to him in a stern voice.

Little does he know the more you stay alive the more blood you take, the dosage increases, the pain increases. The more torture it will be... This is not a happy place but an Abyss of Pain.
