When it comes at a certain point, the screaming of a human being can become quite animal-like, Darius noted. He usually enjoyed hearing his victims, but she was taking it way too far. He had barely started. Feeling a bit sorry, for himself, he took up an ornated knife, and turned it around in his hands. The ornate "D" of his family made him proud to use it, and he didn�t fear it either. It is an honour. A good death. The girl should be proud.
Mutinously and slow he slit her throat from ear to ear, and her screaming fainted to eternal silence. Darius brought the knife to his own throat, slit it along so the blood made a trace to his mouth. There, he licked her warm blood and cleaned the blade.
"Soon" he spoke "I shall have my ever wanted victim. He, who can open the Portal of Chaos to me.
�For he is with powers unknown, although they shine in his eyes through, he is saviour of a world that does not exist, he is in the eye of the world, yet unknown to his father, his name is first among the messengers of God, but it is he who leads the way for Lord Chaos� bloody footsteps. And he shall kill, from his own desire, the Nameless, the eagle, his watcher�" he recited faithfully. He turned to a picture on the wall. "Yes, soon, you shall join me, dear boy" he told it with a wicked grin, and carefully placed the hooked point of his knife between the blue eyes of the man in the picture.
"Dom?" Elijah called. "I�m off. I need to see my agent, she just called."
Dom entered the room. "Now?" he asked. "Alright. Be careful." He turned his gaze to the window and narrowed his eyes.
"What? Do you feel �a shadow and a threat� growing in your mind?" Lij joked.
Dom shrugged. "Maybe. I don�t know."
Elijah groaned, annoyed with his housemate�s odd behaviour. "Whatever you used, I hope the effect has worn out when I come back" he said shortly and without another word he left the house.
As he got into his car, he was still feeling annoyed with Dom. He was a great nice guy but his strange feel for intuition worked on his nerves. The road to his agent�s office was long and dark but very familiar and he had time to think driving on routine. Parking his car before the office and getting out he was calmed down and hoped he hadn�t insulted Dom too much. He got his mobile out of his pocket, and started dialling his own house number wanting to talk to his mate before he went in. He never came that far.
Suddenly his mobile was snatched from his ear.
"Hey!" he yelled, flashing around, but it was not, as he had expected, someone he knew from the office. Far from.
"Finally we meet!" the raspy voice of a tall, ginger man growled, taking Elijah�s chin in an armoured hand. The armoured glove pushed his cheekbones together and hurt him seriously, he felt his skin grazing underneath. He clawed at the man with two arms, but the man was far too strong. His arm was as thick as a man�s waist and his shoulders as broad as two Schwarzeneggers.
"You shall come with me" the man told Lij calmly and dragged him along, totally ignoring his actions., and just before he tasted chloroform in his face, he heard: "For he, nil he, is His server above all."
Dom turned his raptor gaze outwards�
