She didn’t acknowledge me.

I exhaled.

“The evil wizard is back, and he’s angry. If we don’t defeat him, he’ll continue to hurt us. He’ll hurt others. We don’t want that, do we?”

I licked at the bit of blood still beading out from the wound I’d given her. She flinched beneath my tongue.

Fuck, she tasted like my kind of hell.

I lapped at her wound again, loving the way she tasted on my tongue. Sweet. Bitter. Rinny. Rinny. RINNY.

Our forever girl.

I pressed my lips to the bite and sucked against it, desperate to taste more of her. Her blood slowly pooled into my mouth, and I swallowed it down like some sort of psychotic vampire.

“Did you know Church’s dad eats pretty, little girls like you, Rinny?” I whispered into her ear.

She shook against me.

“He does. He’s the kind of monster with teeth and claws. He traps those poor girls in his house of horrors and then makes them scream. It’s different from the screams we made you do.” I paused and licked her flesh again. “Actually, it’s probably the same. Those girls really do stay dead though. But Dante needs to tell you the rest. It’s his story, after all. I’m just here to bring you home.”

I sucked at the wound again, getting a little more blood from her.

“They’re going to hurt you, Rinny. He’s going to hurt me. He’s hurting Stitches. We can’t keep doing this. You have to come back to me. Let’s go home. Please. Let’s go home.”

Her trembling slowed, and her breathing grew deep.

I sighed and ran my fingers up her bare thigh, relishing in her smooth, warm skin.

My mind wasn’t working the way it usually did. Everything seemed cloudy.

You’re going crazy.

Gone crazy.

Cuckoo.

Why not just fuck her? Why wait? You want it.I bet her pussy is tight. Hot. Wet. Made for us.

She’ll never know.

Just do it. End this.

Then kill him.

Give Stitches back to the watchers. Take Rinny.

No.

No.

Retribution is best had once the suffering permits it.

Why is everything so foggy?

I hate it.

She will have a baby someday.
