Chapter 174: Second Hour

Mallory surveyed the dungeon studying her prison. She knew any hope of escape would need ample preparation, the correct mindset, and an opportunity ripe with luck.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

For the moment, she found herself chained to a wall with her ankles, wrists, and neck secured as her body was held outstretched and taut against the stone wall.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps and laughter descending the dungeon staircase. She thought to herself, “No, no, no! Not again! No! I can’t handle another round with her.”

Mallory felt her eyes begin to tear up with hopelessness; however, a glimmer of hope arose in her as she saw both Xenia and Nero arrive. She thought to herself, “Surely Nero will at least take the edge off of things. Show me mercy. Right?”

Xenia confidently walked over to Mallory with a swagger of happiness, “Mallory! So good to see you thriving down here in your new life with us.”

Mallory took note of the situation with Xenia wearing a downright sexy crimson minidress and Nero wearing... nothing. “Wait, what? Why is Nero naked?”

Xenia answered her thoughts, “Because he just fucked me so good. And now he’s going to please me even more.”

Xenia pushed her body up against Mallory’s and ran her finger down her with a big smile, “You see, Mallory. Nero never liked you. In fact, he’s disgusted by you. He hates you.”

Mallory began to tremble and shiver all over as she began to fear what plans Xenia had for her. Xenia feigned concern, “Oh don’t be scared, Mallory. Don’t be scared.”

She then put her finger up to her lips, “Shhhhh. Shhhh.”

Xenia then kissed Mallory inserting her tongue all the way to the back of her throat giving Mallory an unfamiliar and uncomfortable sensation. Xenia then stopped and held eye contact with her, “Nero. Bring me her heart.”

Mallory’s eyes went wide with shock as she began to plead, “Empress BloodStar, I beg of you. Please! Spare me the pain. Kill me!”

Xenia only smiled at her and turned around as she began to walk away. As Xenia walked away, Nero approached.

Xenia hopped up on the stone table typically used for torturing her victims. She sat on the edge and crossed her legs as she prepared to watch Nero harvest Mallory’s heart all for her.

“Rip her heart out for me, Nero. And bring it to me!” Xenia laughed and threw her head back.

As Nero approached, Mallory began to plead to him, “Nero! Nero! Don’t listen to her. Unchain me. We can take her together. She would be no match for our combined strength. We could-“

Suddenly she found her throat bloodbent shut and nearly crushed as Nero scowled at her. He wasted no time carrying out his empress’s orders.

He stopped only for a moment, “You are weak. Both physically and mentally. You deserve your current position.”

Mallory began to speak with her eyes pleading with tearful, wide eyes; however, Nero ignored her. He gathered a red ki within his palm and then plunged his opened hand into her chest right at her heart.

His powerful open-handed strike pulverized her skin, soft tissue, and rib bones overlying her heart instantly, yet his strike also had the expert precision to stop right at the depth of her heart.

Xenia finally allowed the pleasure to subside as she lay on the stone table covered in blood from head to toe with smeared brains between her legs.

She then ran her hand through her blood-drenched hair, and began to laugh to herself, “Oh it feels so good to be empress. The world and everything and everyone in it is mine. The world is my playground, and I am going to take my time playing for as long as I want before I finally decide to punish those who either earn it or deserve it.”

Xenia leaned up from the table after a moment and hopped down. She walked over to what small pieces of Mallory remained scattered along the floor and began to reconstitute her body placing it squarely within the restraints on the wall.

As Mallory’s body came back to life in earnest, she took a deep breath of terror realizing she was back in the dungeon as Xenia’s plaything to be tortured.

With a terrified face, she looked to Xenia who walked up to her, “I love playing with you Mallory. You deserve a treat for being such a good girl for me.”

Xenia reached her hand down between her own legs running her finger through Nero’s brains, blood, and other bodily fluids, “You wanted to taste Nero, didn’t you?”

Xenia raised her hand up to Mallory’s lips; however, Mallory closed her mouth tightly. Xenia smiled and laughed at her as she bloodbent her mouth open, “Be a good girl for me. Just try it. You may like it. I certainly do.”

Xenia inserted her finger into Mallory’s mouth and bloodbent her mouth closed. She then slowly pulled her finger out running it firmly against her sealed lips as she did leaving her finger completely cleaned as she pulled it out.

Xenia waited with a smile, “Well? What did you think?”

Mallory’s face contorted with disgust preventing her from replying. Instead, Xenia just laughed in her face, “I’ve had my dessert. Now, when I bring Nero back, I want to be waiting for him with his dessert.”

Xenia walked to a nearby table and grabbed a scalpel, “My method of extracting your heart won’t be so merciful or quick.”

Xenia wasted no time as she began to carve into Mallory’s chest slowly, “That’s it. Scream! Scream loud for me! I’m carving your heart out as slow as I can, so I can hear your screams. Music to my ears!”

After 30 minutes of Xenia stopping and starting with her scalpel creating the most painful extraction she could for Mallory, she at last had her heart in hand.

Mallory slumped with her chains holding her deceased body up, and Xenia walked over to Nero as she began to heal his crushed head bringing him back to life with amazing speed.

As he came back to life, he immediately rose from the ground to a kneeling position, “I hope I was of use to you empress.”

She walked up to him and put her finger underneath his chin tilting his head upwards to look at her, “You made me so so happy, Nero. You may rise.”

Nero stood, and Xenia presented Mallory’s heart to him, “So happy in fact, that I dared not bring you back without a gift to show my love.”

She held Mallory’s heart out to him. Nero grabbed the heart and took a bite out of it like an apple, “A properly tough muscle marinated in blood. A true BloodStar dessert.”

Xenia clung to his huge muscular arm with a smile as they began to ascend the staircase out of the dungeon. As they made their exit, Xenia flicked a meager amount of healing ki at Mallory bringing her back to life albeit just barely.

Xenia then released her from her chains using ki. Mallory heard the iron door close as she weakly gazed around the room with a feeling of extreme hunger. However, the only remnants of possible food she found were brains, blood, and random assortments of unidentifiable body parts.

She slouched down against the wall and began to cry.
