Page 91 of Fallen: Darkness Ascending, Vol.1

R ipping out the feathers that always stayed on his wings, Malphas threw them onto the bed around her.

Shoving some under her body and the others on top of her legs Malphas pulled them all free.

The tips of all the feathers were covered with drops of blood and Malphas flinched every time he pulled more out.

At least she wasn’t the only one in pain tonight.

Grimacing at the feel of blood coated feathers touching her skin, Delphine watched Malphas pace. The closer he got to being able to go home, the more that he spoiled down into

insanity. Pulling at his hair and wincing with every shift of his shoulders and wings Malphas was looking rabid. Grabbing a large knife from the table he circled back to the bed. Slowly caressing the knife, tip to hilt, checking how sharp the blade was, he smiled wickedly.

“Little lamb, I can’t wait to make you cry some more.

Should we start with your perky tits? How about the soles of your feet?

How about those pretty little lips? I know once I start you will pass out.

Not sure how much I want to hear you scream or how much to slice off.

I was thinking as I nutted in you that I never tried human.

Maybe before I ascend tonight it's time? A little human won’t hurt my chances in heaven, I mean fuck, humans eat each other all the time. ”

Malphas growled out the words as he slowly pulled the blade across Delphine’s neck down her chest. Pushing the tip of the blade into the skin above her heart a bead of blood leaked out as the blade punctured her skin.

Grabbing her hair Malphas chuckled as he jaggedly cut all the hair off her head.

Chunks of skin went as he got too close to her scalp and tossed the hair back onto the bed with the feathers.

“You were so vain about your hair. That should be some more kindle for the pyre.” Malphas waved the blade in her face as he pulled hair apart and shoved it in different areas.

“You tried to be such a strong willed bitch, so it’s time to take you down as many pegs as I can tonight.

Hell is going to destroy you so I might as well give them a head start. ”

Leaning away from her body to admire his handy work, Malphas walked around the bed to Delphine’s left side.

The blade followed up every curve on her body as he walked around leaving a trail behind as he purposely cut her skin.

Reaching right about Delphine’s heart Malphas stopped and leaned down nose to nose with her.

Pulling a large pure white feather from the pile, Malphas shoved it between Delphine‘s teeth.

“Bite down bitch. I’m starting.” Malphas didn’t even finish the sentence as he was slicing.

The pain was unbearable as Delphine screamed, throwing her head back and arching against the chains.

Fire licked up her body as he sliced and cut.

Laughter bounced around the room as darkness flicked at the sides of her vision.

Delphine fought to hold on to every second, fought to stay awake but darkness took over.
