Once morning came I got out of bed and got dressed. I looked at myself in the mirror and
Tozores's eyes gazed back at me. He was at the surface and watching me closely. I looked over my shoulder and noticed that Mrs. Maclean's body was not there any longer.
"I buried her after you passed out. She is of no need to us now. We must find our little wifey and bring her back with us. I have only until the blood moon to claim and mark her for my own before my nephew does. We must make sure that she is ours. A demon's power is at its fullest when the blood moon rises. It only happens every hundred years. If we do not succeed then she will die of old age and we will never have her power. I must claim her and feel her full of my seed, then once the process begins I will bite her and force her shift to begin. Once she shifts I will consume her soul and then her power will be transferred to me and then she will be dead." Tozores said with an evil grin,
"Then I will be unstoppable and I will be King of the Demon Realm and not my brother Lucifer."
I frowned but knew I wouldn't be able to do anything without his consent. He controlled my movements and thoughts. He had me like I was suspended in blackness only I could see through my eyes and notice everything he did, only it was him walking around and I was chained in my head.
We left the room and I found Mr. Maclean frantically looking for his wife. The hooded figures were praying and chanting words, but they wouldn't find her.
"Mr. Stone, good to see you have finally woken up. We must proceed with the ritual. Please come and sit down here." Aidan said motioning to the space next to him.
"We will need to offer some of your blood to open this portal. Then we can find a way to look for Addison. Entering the demon realm is dangerous." said the woman sitting next to Aidan. I assume it must be his wife, the High Priestess.
"There will be no need for any of that. I will return with my wife and then we will leave here. I don't need your spells and rituals to enter into the demon realm. She will be heavily guarded and opening portals such as the one you want to open will only bring attention to my wife and me." Tozores said in my voice.
"You talk as if you have been there before," said Mr. Maclean.
"Oh, I have, father-in-law, more times than you could ever imagine," Tozores said smugly.
"What are you?" Aidan said defensively.
I could feel their uneasiness as Tozores's power began to seep into the room.
He just chuckled and raised my hands, then began to chant something. My whole body began shaking uncontrollably and green lights began shooting out of my body.
The hooded figures gasped sharply and tried to get up and leave, but Tozores wouldn't permit them to.
"No one will leave here, but one person. Mr. Maclean, I will be taking you with me and using you for the sole purpose of making my wife come back with me. You will be a perfect fit for my plan. The rest of you will sit here like statues until I need you. This little vile of mine will trap your souls and you will be in my control. No one will stop me from taking what is rightfully mine." Tozores roared angrily.
One by one I watched helplessly as each soul left their bodies and was sucked into the small vile Tozores had around his neck. Their bodies were stiff and frozen in place. Mr. Maclean was trembling in fear, but Tozores wrapped my hand sound his throat and he forced Mr. Maclean to look into his eyes.
"You will listen to my voice human and you will remember that I am your master from this day forward. You will obey me and do my will. You will use the power you hold for my use and not for your own. I own you now." Tozores said as he used my other hand and extended one of his claws to slice open my wrist.
He held it over Mr. Maclean's face and let it fall. The blood absorbed into his skin and his eyes began to glaze over.
"That's a good human. Now give me your wrist." Tozores growled.
Mr. Maclean gave Tozores his wrist without a fight and just looked like he was staring into nothing. Tozores sliced his wrist with his claw and then leaned down to drink the blood flowing. Once he was done he licked the wound and it healed itself.
"Do you give yourself willingly to me human?" Tozores said chuckling darkly.
"Yes, Master. I give myself to you willingly and will obey your every command." Mr. Maclean said with no emotions. He was like a robot.
"Very good, now we shall leave from here and find the perfect time to properly enter into the demon realm. Tonight though we shall go back to my private jet. That's where all my guards are. I believe there is a special young lady there that will please me tonight. I haven't had a good release in several centuries. She will do just fine, then once I am done we will consume her soul. The more souls I consume the better. I need to strengthen my powers to take my lovely darling wife to places she could never imagine. Soul by soul, until the time, is right." Tozores chuckled.
Mr. Maclean followed behind us obediently until we entered the car I had come in. The guards had left and I was furious, but they thought I was the one commanding them. They should have known. They should have fûcking known.
Now I was just a pawn in a game with a demon and a witch and God knows what else.
The only thing that I was completely sure about was that Addison was mine and I was going to get her back, even if it meant selling my soul to this demon.
