Subj: Dark Kindred Part 9
Date: 3/15/00 4:09:40 PM Central Standard Time
From: Donna Eubanks and Shadowalker
Entering the cave, she turned and took one last look at the stars that were twinkling and peeking through the clouds.
The cave was massive and it seemed to run through the very bowels of Hell, for it did. Blackness, not the ordinary darkness of night began to shroud her quickly as she advanced closer towards the tortured screams of the damned. The smell of sulfur and of charred flesh invaded her senses the further down she descended. Her heart quickened its beat for the terror that she felt yet awaited her.
Reciting the words "Great Kali, goddess of revenge, hear my prayers, help me." Her foot hit a rock. Stepping over it, she put her hand on the side of the cave for support, only to pull it away quickly and painfully from the scalding surface. The tortured sounds of the damned were becoming ever so much louder as she entered the great cavern of the lost souls.
The red-yellow glow of the churning streams of liquified fire caught her attention at first. Turning, she heard a scurrying sound, her eyes tried o find the source, but she saw nothing at first glance. But out of the corner of her eye, she saw, possibly a moving monsterous tail of some beast? It was large, that was all she could see. As she grew further inwards to the openess of the cavern, it was then, she saw the hideous Hell creatures.
They were deformed and twisted, and they began to crawl and scrape their way closer to her as though she could give them their salvation they so desperately sought. Horrified, she looked away from them, her eyes glanced up to see Diabolos and Evan come into view. She was prepard to deal with them-or at least she thought.
She had asked the protection of Kali again. Kali was a most dangerous and powerful revenging Goddess, for what you ask of her, may have to be repayed in whatever ways that pleased the Goddess. But, this she would do for those she loved.
Diabolos only saw his pleasure for tonight arrive.
Smiling, he reached out to her and pulled her into his arms. Evan,
became irritated, and reminded his father that she is "carrying my child, not
yours, my father! And, by that right, she should be MINE tonight!" Diabolos
angered by such insolence, glared towards Evan and with a great swoop of his
arm, threw Evan across the vastness of the great cavern. Evan hit the wall forcefully
and slid down resting in a sitting position, looking at his father with contempt
as he rubbed the back of his head. Diabolos pointed and roared at Evan, "NEVER
QUESTION MY WORD OR MY ACTIONS!" Evan flinched and ran for cover as Diabolos
threw a lethal ball of energy in his direction. The ball exploded into a thousand
pieces, tearing out a chunk of the the caverns wall.
All the Hellcreatures had begun to squawk and scream as they scuttled and hid from Diabolos' great rage. They all had seen his mighty destructive power before and did not want to be a victim of it.
Turning back to his prey, "Come Claudia, it is now time for you to be mine!" A cold smile grew upon his once handsome face, his sons resembled him but only one of them would be as cruel as Diabolos, that was Evan. As Diabolos yanked at her, pulling her nearer to the chamber, She turned and twisted her arm to try and flee from him, to get him to listen, but to no avail. Crying, Claudia began to chant through her sobs, the old and ancient incantations that her mother had taught her many years ago believing she would still be safe from the very total and omnipresent evil itself-Diabolos. But her powers were not yet matured enough to help her. Diabolos stopped and looked with amusement. He threw his head back and great peels of bitter laughter escaped from him. Stopping, he looked at her with disgust and with a fire in his eyes. "Oh little witch," touching her face, "your Goddess cannot help you here. Its too late for you now. And I have been waiting for you to arrive. I have plans for you."
Grabbing her, he consumed her with his kiss. It had felt like the truest touch of evil. Leaving her with visions of death, decay and corruption. Breaking away from her, he once again pulled her to the waiting room.............................

Nicholas is on his way to confront his brother Evan at his home. Nicholas knows Evan has once again raped his wife, and also she is expecting Evans' child.
Nicholas had warned Evan to stay away from his wife. It is now judgement day for his rapist brother.
Nicholas bursts into Evans home through the front door. He sees his cowardly brother is at home.
Nicholas grabs Evan by his collar. "You have dared to rape my wife!! I warned you to stay away from her!! And, to make matters even worse, you have given her your child, dear BROTHER!!!" Nicholas throws Evan against the wall. The impact is so great, a picture falls from the wall, crashing to the floor.
Evan tries to compose himself. He straightens his clothing and speaks.
"She enjoyed my visit very much, dear brother. I took her three times tonight." Evan boasts to Nicholas.
As Nicholas hears these words, he casts a powerful spell upon his brother. He sends him crashing through the window. Evan is on his way to Hell !
********************
Nicholas returns home. He finds his wife is not at home. Where can she be? He thinks to himself. She is in no condition to leave this house.
He once again tries his magic mirror. He hopes it works this time. He is relieved, for it does work.
"Show me a vision of Donamarie." He commands the mirror. Nicholas can see her in Hells fires, along with Claudia and his father, and his rapist brother Evan too!
******************
Nicholas enters the cave of the damned and tortured souls. "Where is he? Where is my father?" He thunders.
He purposefully make his way through the dark and oppressive atmosphere known as the devils home.
Nicholas knows where to find his father this night. He also knows where to find Donamaries best friend. But where is his angel? Where is his wife?
Claudia is surely in the clutches of his evil father. She is surely in his fathers burning bed, as he's thrusting into her this very minute, to be sure, and placing his demon seed into her once more.
Nicholas knows it's too late for Claudia. He can hear her cries and his fathers moans of desire and pleasure now.
Suddenly, Nicholas hears a voice. It's a womans voice. It is soft and sweet and very lovely to hear. It is none other than his beautiful wifes voice, calling to him.
"Nicholas, you can do nothing to stop your father. He shall have Claudia tonight. He has her in his bed right now. And Nicholas, he shall take me as well tonight!" She tells him as she cries.
'NO!!!! Nicholas roars into the gates of Hell ! Father you will not take my wife!!" Even YOU can't be that cruel!!" He says, his face a mask of hatred at this moment.
'I AM YOUR FATHER, NICHOLAS, AND I AM YOUR MASTER TOO! YOU MUST ACCEPT WHAT I DO, EVEN TO YOUR FRIENDS, EVEN UNTO YOUR WIFE IF I WISH! SHE IS VERY DESIRABLE TO ME NICHOLAS. I SHALL HAVE HER IN MY LOVE BED TONIGHT, JUST AS SOON AS I AM FINISHED WITH THE LOVELY CLAUDIA...!!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!"
Nicholas can see his fathers bed. Claudia is in his bed. Her arms are tied so she cannot escape. She is obviously naked under the black satin sheet covering her.
"No father, I will not let you harm my wife!!" Nicholas roars.
"IT IS PART OF THE DEAL NICHOLAS. I WILL HAVE HER IN THE SAME WAY I HAVE THIS BEAUTY HERE!!!" He says of the lovely Claudia.
With that, he throws a lightening bolt, at Nicholas, sending him to be subdued with his brother Evan.
Now the devil can ravish the two beautiful women. Whether or not they receive another demon child this night, remains to be seen.
Claudia is writhing and crying in his bed, as Diabolos' evil eyes look at her with obvious wanton desire. "No, Diabolos, no!!!! Please do not take me again!!!" She cries.
Diabolos laughs quite wickedly at the beauty in his bed.
* * *
Donamarie lay bound and gagged in the next room. She listens to Claudias' screams and terrorized cries.
Diabolos' evil laughter and monstrous animal noises escaped from him as he continued to take Claudia again and again.
Donamarie cried her own bitter tears, for Nicholas could do nothing against his evil and powerful father. She knew that she would suffer the same horrible fate this night. Donamarie saw the horrible vision in her mind: she would be bound and disrobed, and raped again and again by the master of evil himself. Again, her bitter tears began to fall.
Nicholas and Evan stood together, each looked at the other with contempt and loathing, each hating the other, but at this moment, the hatred was even greater for their father, the great horned one.
"Alright Evan", snarled Nicholas, "its apparent that neither one of us alone can overpower Diabolos, and as much as I despise it, we shall HAVE to work together." Haughty and sarcastically, Evan sneered and looked at Nicholas, "Why Nicholas, what will I get if I work with you? All you are is someone I loathe!"
Suddenly, screams were heard. Screams of both terror and borderline madness. They came from the the sleeping chamber rooms. Nicholas grabbed Evans shirt collar and hissed into his face the words,"What wlll YOU get? I might consider sparing your miserable and dispicable life, which is more than you deserve!" In Evans eyes, there flickered a sign of fear, as he grabbed Nicholas' hands away from his collar, Evan almost choked the word out,"agreed." There was no love lost between the two warlocks.
They crossed the great cavern. All the nightmarish demons of hell knew to stay away and hidden from view now. Only an occasional char-burned creature peeped over a tall mound of ash to see what was disturbing the order of chaos in this Hell. Sickly and disturbing, Nicholas ignored this demented world, only to concentrate on one single purpose, to save his bride, and that of her friend. Invading his senses were the odor of the burnt flesh of bodies as he passed the great burning pool and the the moans of the damned and their wails of suffering.
How quickly he had forgotten this world! His years of growing and maturing here had oozed into his brain, seeping and invading each lobe until nothing remained to remind him of the memories of the bright sun, the clean fresh world of above.
Quietly they neared the room of Nicholas' precious and dear wife, entering, they found her still bound by the straps fashioned from the skins of the damned that had failed in their duties to Diabolos. Nicholas untied her and gently wrapped her in the sheet. He brushed away her wisps of hair that clung to her tear streaked face. He wished to arrest her fears somehow. Evan glanced upon the nakedness of Donamarie before the sheet was wrapped around her, and found himself, once again desiring her. Thinking to himself, he would visit with her again in her dreams, oh yes. To take her lovely body, filling her with his own sick passions again.
Evan suddenly found himself blinded by the right hook
that Nicholas threw at him, falling to the floor, he looked up at Nicholas with
hurt, confusion and hate. He gingerly rubbed his left jaw with his hand. Nicholas
bent down to him and seared these words into Evans mind: "you shall NEVER think
of my wife like that again," hissing, "dear BROTHER, if you do," Nicholas brought
his hand up and formed it into a ball, "I will most certainly cause your destruction!"
Pulling his wife with him, Nicholas found a large pile of burnt stones, and
safely, hid her behind
them.
Pivoting around, Nicholas grabbed Evan by his neck, and yanked him up. Pointing into his face, "You will rue the day you ever crossed me if you do not help fight and defeat our Father". Evan taking a deep breath and swallowing hard, nodded, and croaked out a "alright." He pulled up his chin, straightened out his tie, and taking one more sideways glance at Donamarie. He followed Nicholas towards the bedchamber that their father was in.
Diabolos had just finished his final thrust. Claudia, screamed out in her agony for for it felt as molten lava inside her, and her cries were not only for herself, but for her two babies. He chuckled a low, sick, twisted and vile laugh as he shuddered the release of the last of his seed into her. He held tight the neck of his hapless victim to weaken her movements further.
Diabolos reared up in shock and anger to see a red-yellow ball come down between the gathered hands of Nicholas and Evan. United, they clasped their hands as the words of the black rites were given, asking for power from yet otherworldly Gods combined, to subdue their enemy , which was now their own father! A fiery ball changed shape and appeared as a sword in the area between Evan and Nicholas.
Turning to Diabolos, they raised their outstretched fingers as they joined their voices in unison before them. The sword rose as it flew within a second, riccocheting from the darkness, and down into the back of their sire. Diabolos roared with agony trying to clutch at the weapon which was too far from his fingers to grab. Stunned and weakened, he was now powerless to keep Nicholas from untying the straps that held Claudia bound to the bed.
During this time, he had realized that each of his sons alone, were too weak against him, but joined together, were a mighty force to be reckoned with.
He had always known it could be this way. That is why he had forbidden them to ever meet. It had been bad timing on Diabolos' part when they finally did. His dread had started that day. Now they had overpowered him, but only temporarily. He, knowing that some day, it could be forever!
Diabolos had already begun his healing, but was still at a loss of strength by the sword, to be able to move. Resigning himself to the bitter thought of defeat this time, he lay helpless, watching as Nicholas lifted Claudia up from beside him. Nicholas snatched the sheet, lying crumpled on the floor and placed it around her body, and carried her away.
Diabolos, had carefully watched each detail of both of his sons treasonous acts. And would remember them. Soon his look of disdain was replaced by a smug, evil smile that grew upon the devils face. It didn't matter now anyway, for his task had been accomplished, through the lovely creature, Claudia, despite his sons treasonous acts.
They both left the bedchamber, and Nicholas gently placed Claudia down upon the floor. Quickly, he went to his wifes side, and pulling her close to him, kissing her again and again, pulling her even tighter each time, afraid to let her go, scared that she would disappear from his life yet once again, that he would be robbed of her once more at a moments notice.
Nicholas turned to Evan, "we are not finished, you and I, Evan, I will never forgive you for taking my wife and giving her your child. But, you did help me, even though it was to save your own skin at the moment, I will allow you live," But only in the furthest reaches of Hell!" Raising his voice now, "GO NOW! Leave from my sight, I never want to see you again!" Evan backed up quickly, and walked away towards the darkest tunnel to hide him from Diabolos until matters were once again calm between them.
Knowing Diabolos, Evan thought, it would be years before it would happen, then havoc and torment would be the game to play between them with the upper world once again. They would delight in wrecking havoc upon the living souls, the both of them, together!
Nicholas helped His fragile and dear wife , Donamarie and her friend, Claudia up the darkened tunnel that would lead them back home and to hope of a brighter future for both of their families..........and unbeknownst to them, a third child was hidden away now in the womb of Claudia..................
The End.
