work, I tried to lash out at him but my arms wouldn't move. He had me paralysed and he looked down at me with sardonic satisfaction.
His hand came to my face and his skin felt like smooth marble and ice cold fingers, leaving their mark in lines down my cheeks. Then the lights went out in the club and the room was plunged into a dark silence. I looked about the room b ut couldn't see anyone else. That’s when the man in front of me spoke for the first time.
“The y’ re all dead little Keira girl . ” His voice was the deepest voice I had ever heard and I will never forget the way my name sounded at that depth of evil. I looked down at my hand expecting not to see anything but they were glowing deep red. At first I though my wrists had been slit again but then I realised it was from a ref l ection.
I had never felt a fear as strong before as I lift my head to look back at him. My eyes found what I imagined one of the devil's minions to look like. There was a blood red mist around his figure but his body was blacked out. His face was in the deep shadow s but his eyes glowed white making him look almost like the walking dead. Behind him were two massive bulls ho rns that came from his shoulder bones and attached to these were his wings hanging down like demonic curtains . It was like a thousand bats had been kil led and all their wings used to be sewed together to m ake one huge set. They were worn and broken in places with holes nearer the edges. They then went down into points making the ends, w h ere finger like claws looked deadly to the core. His hands were balled into fist by his sides and when he didn't touch me with them I was about to turn and run.
“You can't run from me little Keira girl . There is nowhere for you to hide . ” His voice wasn't coming from his lips but fr om every corner of the room as though there was an army of him. I followed the whispers but couldn't make out anything. I turned back towards him a nd he leaned his face forwards making me step back with fright . Blood stained lips curved into a sadistic smile showing me all his bloody teeth like he had not long finished a human meal. His fangs started to gro w past his lips and down his chin at the sight of my fear. A single droplet of bloody dripped down his right fang.
“See you soon” He said and licked the blood off it before clicking his fingers. This made all the lights in the club return and my fears sunk to new depths. He had illuminated the room for me to discover the blood bath. All my friends, everyone I ever knew was now lying in broken heaps around us. Bloody, dismembered and tortured bodies I could hardly make out indi vidually. The walls and furniture ran red with blood as though a raging river of the life source had passed through.
I screamed uncontrollably which is what finally woke me up from my nightmare. I had got up that night to draw him from my memory not really knowing who or what he was but I had to cast him out. Even now I still got g oosebumps from the picture. Sammael had nothing on this dude!
Draven was still gripping the book like it was a small creature that needed to be contained.
“Draven what's wrong?” My voice seemed to bring him back to the room but his face was one of pure fury and hatred.
“Have you seen this man?” His vo ice was steel, cold and one I had rarely heard before.
“Only once, in a nightmare... why?” I was pretty sure I didn't want to know the answer to this but it wouldn't be the first time I had received an answer I didn't like. He dropped the book to the floor and turned to me to grab my shoulders. I looked up at him and hated the harsh bitter face I found there.
“Because Keira, the man in this picture is....” I swallowed hard, now knowing the truth and the foundations of our combined fears.
I finished his sentence.
