Chapter 33
Persephone’s POV
I was back again in hell. But this time I was someone else. I had absolutely no idea about what the fuck was happening but I knew this very well that what I was seeing could not be true. I was looking at my dead body lying there in the cave that I was standing in and there was an army before me. An army stood before me. They had faces of cows, or bulls with gold rings hanging from their bovine noses and they were wearing gold chains and skin of something else as loin clothes.
My brain was scrambled or what I had no clue but I could hear myself saying,” Hear me you cows! The gods will not stand for this. And it will not be you they come after. They will come after your females and your young ones. They will wipe your people away from existence because of this fucking betrayal!”
What the fuck was happening? I was trying stop something I could understand that, but who was I? My words made the males pause. It looked like they were on a suicide mission but that did not mean their families were.
“Ignore her,” the priestess said, as she was arranging a screaming child, possibly a human child on the altar to the way of her liking. Was that bitch going to sacrifice the baby?
“But,” one of the Minotaurs said carefully,” I think this one is batshit crazy.”
“That has never stopped you before,” gasped the priestess in shock.
Why the minotaurs debated the rape and murder of the insane I watched another woman. She had promised to help the child and yet she wasn't walking toward the beach but away eventually stopping at my dead body. Kneeling down beside my corpse and turned the body over. She placed her hand on my head and dragged it down the length of her my body down my face across my chest and stomach down her legs to the feet. I myself didn't move my eyes were still starring unseen at the ceiling but my corpse twitched as the bones logged back into place.
With a hand under my neck her head gently tilted back the goddess like rider hall had done a short while ago pressed her lips against mine.
The Minotaurs obviously overcoming their moral dilemma grabbed me in my current body and pulled me up to the floor onto her back. She fought back at the hands grabbing for her but her focus was on the babe and the prestes who had it. The careless cow humped as she prepared for her ritual ignoring everything that was going around her.
“Look at me human.”
I did staring up at the minotaur now over me while others held me pinned to the ground.
“Your pain,” he said softly,” will be my pleasure.”
“And your death,” I said behind him,” will be mine.”
The one who looked like me then grabbed his head my fingers digging into his eyes pressing in until she had them deep into the sockets it was difficult to see my reanimated corpse work like this and try and fight these animals. But something told me that this creature looked like me but was not me at all. Instead I could hear in my mind that this was Calamity, this could be no one else but her and I could see the blood lust in her eyes. This woman might look like me but she was nothing like me at all. Looking at myself screaming in so much rage that the cave walls shook I shuddered back in fear.
Calamity then grabbed his head her fingers digging into his eyes pressing in until she had them deep into the sockets. The minotaurs screeched and stood Calamity attached to his back holding on as he desperately tried to get her off.
The others released me as they went to their commanders aid. But he was shrinking and turning in circles unintentionally keeping Calamity from their grass while at the same time using her body as a weapon.
I quickly got to my feet as Calamity pulled one hand from the minotaur’s face and reached down yanking the eating dagger he kept in his loin cloth. She raised the blade about him and brought it down on his cult. He squeezed and Calamity laughed historically dragging the blade out and slamming it home again and again.
Finally one of the Minotaur grabbed hold of her hair and yanked her off their commander tossing her across the room. Calamity hit the wall and the floor and then jumped right back to her feet.
Now she screamed again the likes her which I had never heard before and prayed to gods that I would never have to hear again. Calamity screened and covered in blood charged fully towards the minotaurs. They were so stunned it took them a moment to react. One of them went for his blade but Calamity snatched it from him using it to cut his stomach open before turning and boldly swinging the weapon as she did. I forced myself to look away and towards the priest test.
The priests was angry but she didn't lose her head. Instead she grabbed the dagger and raised it above the baby. I ran towards her stepped on the week Walter for leverage and launched myself at the priestess. Well aware that the body that I was currently in was no fighter I wrapped my arms around the heifer’s head and held I want.
“Get off me!” The priestess bellowed in outrage and served sending me flying back. I hit the ground but get my head up so it wouldn't smash onto the floor. When I stopped sliding I grabbed one of the torches and forced my teaching body backup. I felt the pain in this body immediately having never been trained in controlling quickly limped back to the female minotaur. She slapped the torch into her face startling and angering her again.
“Bitch!”
I kicked the bowl filled with oil aiming for the prestige. It hit her on the side and I quickly slammed the torch back at her. The flame court and the priestess cried out yanking of her cloth. Using the time I grabbed hold of the baby and quickly retreated. She saw the exit from where she stood but he slashing killing Calamity and still quite a few minotaurs stood between her and freedom.
The priestess, cloak and flame free stepped over the altar. She stared at all of them and then she opened her mouth and shouted,” Stop!”
They all did, too. Even Calamity.
The priestess glanced at me but seemed confident in her current situation of being unable to escape. Right now they both knew that Calamity was a bigger concern.
She raised her arm and stepped a little closer to the queen. I call upon the darkest powers to come to me she chanted her finger pointing at Calamity. I call upon them to possess me and give me the power to destroy this abomination.
I stepped forward. “Calamity kill her!” I shouted. “Kill her before she can finish!”
She would never know if Calamity had heard her words or had understood her words or simply responded to the sound of yelling. Whatever prompted the her, it was quite enough.
Pulling back her arm the skin no longer peel and clash it but strong powerful and filled with well trained muscles she crew was food she had in her hand. Amino towards blade much longer and wider than any human sword and she handled it like it was a small eating dagger.
The weapon flew across the tunnel and slammed into the minute or female forcing her back several steps.
The priestess stared down at it but she didn't die.
She raised her arms and shouted kill.
But Calamity’s hysterical scream drowned her out and then the bloody woman was charging the minotaur female slamming into her knocking her into the ground. She yanked the blade from the female chest and raised it. Still screaming she slammed it into her. The priestess is howl of pain filled the tunnel but it still couldn't block out her scream. It went beyond the battle cry. It went beyond anything.
And while she screamed over and over again Calamity yanked the weapon out and slammed it back in.
Unable to turned away they all watched her even me. The minute or mails didn't move. Their commander was dead and their prettiest was being murdered right in front of them. Explain and it was murdered. A brutal vicious murder. Blood and gold flew everywhere even striking me and the baby but Calamity kept going until the tip of the blade slammed into the ground beneath them. That's when she released it and toured at the priestesses chest using only her bare hands full she told the ribs apart and began to slam her fist inside the open chest cavity again and again.
Buy now the female minotaur had long died but apparently calamities rage we're still going strong.
I lost count of how many times the woman struck at the open chest in front of her. How many times she yanked out the organs and tossed them over her shoulder full stuff for the first time in my life I was mesmerised unable to think of a reason or too much of anything but stare. It took them long minutes before the minotaur finally snapped out their own state of shock and then one of them a giant with absolutely enormous head move towards heart. He slowly raised his word and I went to Warner but a blade against my throat cut off the sound.
The minotaur now stood behind Calamity the sword held in both hands over her naked back. Without the sound he brought it down but as the tip of the blade near her smile Calamity moved. She simply lifted her right arm and layered rear to the left side. The blade slammed into the minute or female’s open chest. The male stared dumbly at what he had done and then his gaze turned towards Calamity. Her smile was mad one corner of her mouth lifting her green eyes rising up to look at him through the wild tumble of hair in her face.
“Missed,” she hissed and the minotaur stumbled back. He was terrified. He couldn't hide it not from his comrade not from himself. For the first time in his life I was sure that a demon was terrified and everyone knew it because they were all terrified as well.
And all of a sudden I was suddenly thrown back again and there was a ringing sound in my ears and my cheek was burning.
