Chapter 9: Chapter 09 - Explosion
Looking at the man in front of me, I can see the fear in his eyes, he's certainly started the transformation process, I wonder how this could be possible.
'' Now my little friend, his name was Paul right? Tell me, how can you be becoming a goat man?" I say this out of curiosity.
He however, despite his fear, just shows me a mocking expression, I'll definitely have fun with this one.
In one quick move, I grab him by the neck and hold him against the wall, I can't use my venom as it will keep him from talking and make all the fun that's to come pointless.
I still need information. Looking at the door, I think of the party downstairs. His screams will alert other humans, although I can kill everyone here, that wouldn't be in my morals.
So grabbing the beautiful woman and placing her over one of my shoulders, I do the same to Paul after lightly stabbing him, giving a dose of poison that will last ten minutes.
I jump out of his office window and disappear into the darkness in search of a secluded spot, a few miles away, finally found, a small barn, although it's still in use probably no one will come to such a place in the middle of the night.
Supporting the woman against a wall, I place the man on the ground and wait for him to wake up, my poison is something wonderful, the punctuality with which its effects end is something that makes me ecstatic.
Released from the crippling effects, Paul comically tries to get up and run, only to fall face first to the ground. Approaching from behind, I step on his right ankle and crack a slight smile at the cracking crack and the scream of pure agony that Paul lets out.
With one more blow to break his left ankle and again Paul's scream spreads through the night, without letting him get used to the feeling of pain, I lift him by the neck and walk towards a support beam. I pick up a small rake, at the same time breaking its cable in two.
I hold Paul against the beam, and stab him with the broken handle. His screams again being heard, looking to the corner I see the beautiful woman's eyes wide.
I pick up the rest of the rake, crushing the handle in my hand and getting several wooden splinters of different sizes and thicknesses. Moving towards Paul so that he sees the splinters in my hand, I hold his right hand in front of his eyes and stab the first one under his nail, his screams only increasing.
It seems my year with Kate and the others has left me a little rusty, I need more practice, so I keep putting barbs in, when one finger runs out of space, I move on to the next.
Looking at my job well done and a catatonic Paul, it's really shameful how weak these guys are, I haven't even started inflicting pain on them, and he's already like that.
'' Now my little friend, Tell me, how can you be becoming a goat man?'' I repeat my question.
"Tell me, and perhaps I will allow you to suffer less."
He seems unwilling to talk yet, time for a little more, taking his other hand I repeat the process, this time more slowly than the last, it took me an hour to put splinters on all of his fingers, at some point he urinated.
I hate it when that happens, it makes me lose my appetite, and it's a horrible smell. Looking at him, unable to cooperate at this point, I summon a small hellish flame to my finger.
This brings some clarity and even more terror to his eyes, apparently he recognized my flame. The way he tries to pull away even though he's nailed to a beam is impressive.
I move closer, as he opens his mouth now willing to speak, I stick my flame in him. It's too late to try to be helpful, and my nice meal next door will probably be more willing to cooperate, besides having already told me the name Richard, in the worst case it will be a good snack.
Her sweet, intoxicating scent plus her looks make my mouth water.
As I approach her, his eyes widen and his mouth makes unrecognizable sounds. Sitting beside him with my back against the warehouse wall I start stroking his soft hair as I watch Paul burn, slowly his tongue starts to burn, I control my flame, so it doesn't do any more damage to his mouth, I have others plans for him.
Controlling my flame, I bring it down to his stomach, let's see how he screams as he burns from the inside out and no tongue. Ordering the flame to burn again, I'm surprised when it explodes from the inside out. It was extremely disgusting, and a totally unexpected accident.
Annoyed by such a situation I make my flames turn everything to ash, unfortunately some remains reached me and my food, it can't stay that way.
Taking the woman in my lap I start running towards the east where I can hear the sound of running water, reaching the riverbank I enter with the woman in the water and wash us.
Looking at her beautiful body I must say she is beautiful, yet I feel nothing, no desire, she doesn't come close to the high standard Kate and her sisters have imposed on me in recent months.
After finishing washing our bodies I notice the woman trembling, looking at her wet clothes I simply rip off her clothes, exposing a curvy body, her delicate white skin exuding seduction would be an invitation to any normal person.
In my eyes nothing more than appreciation for something beautiful, as I watch her firm, upturned breasts with tiny pink areolas and small, firm nipples, the effect of my venom begins to wear off.
Her breath quickens, and she starts to move, I watch her reactions with curiosity, humans are funny creatures you can expect a lot from a human just to be disappointed, or you can expect nothing and have big surprises.
This human gave me a surprise, when my poison passed she didn't try to run, unlike her old companion she didn't try to run. She knelt before me and looked into my golden eyes.
''Please master, allow me to serve you as much as I can, please.'' Looking at her, I can see anticipation, fear and a slight greed, hearing her heartbeat with regular beats indicating that she is not lying despite this. Of the whole ordeal.
'' Tell me, how was her mate turning? Also, where can I get the method for this?'' She looks at me with some surprise, yet she answers me sincerely.
''The method for transformation can only be performed by Richard, it is a kind of sacrificial ritual. As sacrifices are performed through the burning of the soul of our offerings. The priest proceeds to bless the followers of our lord."
''This is how the transformation takes place. Our priest is the only one who can control the fires of hell in a stable way. Most of our members end up hurting themselves or paying a high price during the rituals.''
"Take me to your priest, if you prove yourself useful to me, maybe I'll reward you." Opening a sincere smile to the woman, I see her greed rise.
Her reward will be wonderful, she will be rewarded by becoming my next meal. Totally worthy for her.
