I nod, sensing her determination. "We'll find her, love. And make them pay for taking her."

Dark elves swarm from above and below, but we stand our ground, fighting back-to-back. Steel clashes against steel, magic against magic. We are a force unto ourselves, a pair of demons in human form, wreaking havoc on those who dare to cross us.

I can feel Claudia's energy pulsing alongside mine, a potent mix of rage and exhilaration. We feed off each other, our movements syncing up until it's hard to tell where she ends and I begin. We are two halves of the same whole, a perfect match in every way.

As the last of the dark elves falls, we stand amidst the carnage, chests heaving, eyes locked. The air between us crackles with electricity, a silent promise of the pleasure that awaits us once this is all over.

But for now, we have a mission to complete, a sister to save. Claudia's resolve hardens, her determination a palpable force. I nod, a silent vow passing between us. We will see this through to the end, no matter what it takes.

"Narina's close," Claudia says, her voice tight with anticipation. "I can almost sense her."

I place a hand on her shoulder, feeling the tension in her muscles. "Then let's not keep her waiting. I'm sure she's eager to see what her big sister has become."

Claudia's eyes meet mine, a mix of emotions swirling in their depths. "Do you think she'll be afraid of me?"

"She'd be a fool not to be," I reply honestly. "But she'll also see that you did all this for her. Love is a powerful thing, darling. Even in its darkest forms."

She nods, squaring her shoulders. "Then let's finish this."

With a shared glance, we press on, our path lit by the fires of vengeance and desire. The dungeon awaits, and with it, theculmination of our bloody quest. Together, we are invincible, a force of nature unleashed upon this fortress of evil.

And I, for one, can't wait to see how it all ends.

CLAUDIA

Blood drips from my fingers, warm and sticky. Each drop sings through my veins, feeding a hunger I never knew existed. I lick my lips, savoring the metallic taste.

"More," I whisper, my voice husky with desire.

Saturus grins, his eyes gleaming with approval. "Patience, my pet. We have work to do."

We descend into the basement, the air growing thick with the stench of fear and decay. My heart races, not with fear, but anticipation.

Suddenly, Saturus freezes. His nostrils flare, and a low growl rumbles in his chest.

"What is it?" I ask, tensing for a fight.

He turns to me, his mismatched eyes narrowed. "I sense a power. Similar to mine."

"What?" My blood runs cold. "A demon? Here?"

Saturus nods, his face a mask of concentration. "Powerful. Ancient."

My mind reels. Another demon? What could this mean for Narina? For us?

"Should we turn back?" I hate the words even as they leave my mouth.

Saturus laughs, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "And miss the entertainment? Never."

He pulls me close, his lips brushing my ear. "Remember, you're mine now. No other demon can claim you."

I nod, heat pooling in my belly despite the danger. "Yours. Always."

We press on, the air growing heavier with each step. The basement stretches before us, a labyrinth of shadows and secrets. Somewhere in this darkness, my sister waits. And now, apparently, so does another demon.

My newly awakened senses prickle. Something is wrong. The silence is too complete, the darkness too absolute. It's as if the very air is holding its breath, waiting.
