Death is no more an escape than it is a curse.
My ability has proved that time after time. The endless loop of living on
past death, in any of its forms, is a torment in its own right.
I can’t die. No matter how many times or ways he tries, it always ends
up the same.
With pain, and rebirth, and suffering.
When Death calls, it isn’t soft and sweet nor a slumber of silence and
serenity. It’s violent and cruel, ripping apart the seams that keep us whole.
I’m no longer whole anymore. King made sure of that.
Our sessions are not bonding time between stepfather and daughter, but
a way for King to release his monster and set him free.
I’m just his prisoner, caged in his hotel, and called upon when he needs
someone to inflict pain on.
My body is a mangled mess, as bits of broken bone and muscle lay
scattered beside me. My legs no longer move, my spine twisted and tore
open.
The small room around me, once an immaculate white, is bathed in my
blood. The deep red draped across the walls and fixtures like a splattered art
piece of horrors.
Today’s session is just as hard as all the rest. The agony is no less
painful, the darkness no less silent.
King sits in his chair, sharpening another of his blades, patiently waiting
for my ability to kick in so he can start over.
He never lets me fully heal before he begins again, only letting my body
repair enough that I don’t pass out until he decides. And one drop of the
new little olive-green concoction that he created slows down my ability to a
near halt.
I pant through the pain, my ability sluggish as it fuses my spine back in
place.
“I’ve decided to play nice with the outsiders.”
Outsiders.
Manhattan homes some of the most powerful shifters. From Dragons
and Wolves, to bears and serpents and all those in between.
Over the years King formed alliances and then swiftly betrayed them,
taking over their lands and territory and naming it his.
King played the long game, inviting all those who had no place left to
go to live in his new city that welcomed them all.
Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Queens are all now under King’s rule.
Together they form the Cardinal Three, with Brooklyn being King’s main
base and the place he likes to do most of his dealings.
Humans, demons, witches, and shifters of all kinds, are welcome in the
Cardinal Three, but on one condition…
Follow King’s rules.
The supes thought it was a good deal until they found out King placed a
magical “tag” on them.
It not only tells King where you are but also stops you from coming or
going. If you try leaving without his permission, the tag is activated, and
you die a horrific death.
King wants all of New York under his control, his need for power,
absolute.
Staten Island stays off the grid, homing most of the demons, vampires,
witches, and warlocks and any other supe who lean towards the dark side. It
will only be a matter of time before he goes after it, too.
