Chereads / The Dragon Slayer: Dragon Prince Series Book 1 / Chapter 56 - Chapter Fifty-two

Chapter 56 - Chapter Fifty-two

Libelle felt paralyzed. It felt as though a dark power was constricting around her neck and choking her. She was left weak and gasping for air as she flailed wildly in the pitch-black world she was being held captive in. Her feet could not find solid ground beneath her, and her hands were desperately reaching out into nothingness. She was trapped, there was nothing she could do and it terrified her more than anything.

Her vision was useless as she stared out into the empty world, screaming and crying out. She pleaded for someone to help her, but her voiced never echoed; she was muted, and some of her senses were not working. She could only feel pain and hear the deep growls that thundered around her. The demonic sounding voices rumbled as they grew closer and closer to her. By the gods, she just wanted to be free of this wretched prison.

"Slayer. Murderer," the grumbling voices echoed.

"Leave me be!" she cried out, twisting and pulling at the invisible power that bound her.

The voices repeated the words as they moved even closer to her. She tried to pull away, crying and yelling at her captors, but the power that coiled around her like a snake was tightening and squeezing around her entire body. Her bones groaned against the force before she felt the calcium begin to crack.

The beings with the thunder-like voices were all around her. She had no escape. Her bones snapped again, but this time the fractures turned into complete breaks. She wanted to scream at the terrible pain, but still nothing came out. The force around her squeezed again; her head snapped back and her eyes shot wide open.

"Slayer."

Libelle stared into the vast darkness, the intense pain becoming more than she could handle. She felt tears falling down her cheeks, and she felt the being's hot breath against her skin. What was going to become of her?

"Murderer."

The darkness erupted with a burning, bright light as an explosion of flames erupted from multiple fanged mouths all around her, engulfing her body in the searing heat. There was no escape. She was done for.
