“When this all first started, we had some good times, perfect times almost, you could say,” he says with a smile.

“That’s before you showed me who you were, before you change!” he yells.

“No, that is where you are wrong, for I did not change, it was you.”

He laughs, “Really, you’re going to play the blame game? I thought I already did that eons ago?” He says as he drags back on the cigarette, then blows the smoke into his face, causing him to splutter and cough. “Can’t you see Derick , we are but peas in a pod, you and I, made to torment each other, made to burn this world to the ground, and dine on the flesh and blood of all who come before us.”

“You’re insane, we were made for better things, not this, not destruction.”

“Don’t mock my words,” he growls as he leaps to his feet, and slaps Derick hard across the face with his open hand. “We were created to rule, mother made that so, and we would be ruling by her side, if it wasn’t for you, falling for those things, those, humans.”

“They are far greater beings than you or I could ever be, can’t you see that, can’t you see their beauty? Remember when we….”

He slaps his again, harder this time, “Do not try and preach to me, I know what I have seen, I know what I have witnessed, I don’t need you to twist my memories into your own needs, they’re cattle, tools, a means to an end, nothing more. When the first was given existence, did we not wonder at them? Did our eyes not grow wide, and our tummy’s hungry?”

“Stop it! Can’t you see that it’s all changed, our power, gone, along with mother, can’t you see they don’t need us, and that, in itself is our ending.”

“WE WILL NEVER END!” He screams as he grabs Derick by the throat, and tackles him to the ground. “I NEVER WANTED THIS, I NEVER WANTED TO END YOU, I ONLY WANTED YOU BY MY SIDE AS IT WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE!” He yells.

“It’s too late for dreams old friend, we are but memories, fading, they don’t believe anymore, they have new gods to worship, new places to gather, we are, nothing. So, free me, let me go, let me finally rest.”

Tears stream down his face, as he tightens his grip, as the sound of bones breaking vibrate around the room, Derick gasps for air, for a breath, cocking on his own blood, and he smiles and then, the room explodes in a white light, he shields his eyes, and then, the light is gone, and he is alone.

“I will make them remember, I will remind them of who we were, and they will come bow before me, as I build my kingdom on their bones,” he gets to his feet, clenches his hands into fists. “All sons of Adam, all daughters of Eve, prepare, for I am coming, and I will not rest, for I am your sin born into flesh.”

“I crawled from the pit, my body, broken, bloody, and all I could think of is what I’d do to you, once I found you,” he says, through bloody, clenched teeth.

“I bet you didn’t think this was how it was going to go?” She says as she grabs the handle of the blade that sticks from his chest, and twists it, he screams in pain.

“Fuck you Sarah, have you’re day, but I’ll be back, I’ll crawl from where ever you dump me, and I’ll try again, and again, until your head is on a pike outside my front door!”

She laughs, “Mitchel, so much hated inside you, is this really still over me killing your family? I mean, honestly, I’ve heard of holding a grudge, but to actually pull yourself from, well, wherever you went after I put that bullet in your head, to come and get revenge seems overkill. Wouldn’t it be a smarter thing to find your family and drag them forth, from the unknown with you.”

“They were not where I ended up, they, they were somewhere better, somewhere I’ll never get the chance to go.”

She laughs again, louder this time, “Oh my, so you went to Hell and your family went to Heaven? That is a terrible thing, even in death, you’ll never be with them,” she laughs some more before she straddles him and drives another knife into his chest, he screams in pain, as she smiles gleefully, licking her lips with her tongue. “Does it hurt? Do you want death? Beg me! Beg me for it and I might let you taste it once more, or, do you want to taste something different?” She says, as she leans down and kisses him, his eyes widen, then he bucks wildly, trying to throw her off him, but the pain, his injuries, in fact, everything up to this point, has left him too weak. She pulls back and wipes his blood from her mouth. “Some people don’t know the finer things when they taste them,” she says as she gets to her feet and looks over at two big brutish men, both dressed in expensive, black suits, with dark red shirts, she motions for them to approach her. “Take him down below, and throw him in one of the cages, I don’t want him rising back from the dead and coming to surprises us again, I’d rather keep my eye on him if I can.”

“I-It’s not going to stop me, n-n-nothing will s-stop me, I’ll have my revenge one day, I’ll have your head!” he yells as they pull him to his feet.

“I don’t doubt that one little bit,” she says, as she runs a hand across his face, gently caressing his cheek.  “I’m just going to prolong it for as long as I can, you see, me and you, we’re fated to keep crossing paths, that is true, but, I will choose how they intersect, not you,” she says, as she slashes a blade across his throat.
