I pace back and forth while the doctor takes his sweet time looking over my daughter.

My wife weeps into her beautiful dress sleeves and leaves behind many puddles of gold.

I go to her and give her as much comfort as possible, while inside; I too am a wreck.

I had sent every one home after Midnight-

"Your highness, I have her charts ready." The doctor interrupted my thought process.

I have never moved so fast in my life nor has my wife.

With expecting eyes upon him, he clears his throat and speaks.

"While I had her lucid enough; she said she ripped her wings out since they were half eaten and didn't see a point in keeping them."

That one sentence had my wife gasping out heart wrenching sobs.

Her wings were eaten. She jerked them out while she was walking out of the maze.

I think in horror.

I gnashed my teeth together and he broke out in a visible sweat but continued with his report.

"Princess Midnight has multiple scrapes and bruises, a couple cracked ribs, no wings, and for the most part; trauma. I wasn't able to get her to speak that much and she wouldn't allow me to look extensively for any more injuries. However, when she wakes and you are able to get her to talk, I'd like to know so I can better treat her. " He says finishing up.

"I bandaged her up and gave her some medicine for the pain. She's sleeping now but you can go see her." He says closing his books up and walking off with a respectful bow.

I looked back at my wife and stared at her beautiful crestfallen face. Her perfect pink lips are puckered out in a small pout, her emerald green eyes shine with a golden film of her tears, and her fiery red hair is in messy waves cascading around her high defined cheekbones.

So mesmerizing...

"My love...I want to see our child." She says softly, her voice cracking at the end.

I grab her hand and gently pull her towards me and when she's standing as close as I can get her to my body, I gently cup her face and press my forehead to hers.

She closes her eyes and as usual she starts to rub her nose gently across mine.

"I love you and I live for you. Do not cry anymore. We will get through this my love. She's a tough child and I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes a warrior or knight later in life. She acts nothing like a proper princess." I say earning a teary chuckle from her.

I wipe away her tears and I trail soft kisses across her eyes and nose.

Her nose wrinkles and she smiles at the tickling sensation it gives off as she starts wiping furiously at it.

We straighten up and she sniffles a little and finally reigns in her emotions like the regal queen she is.

"Fire Ari and cut off the betrothal. I do not trust him anymore." She says before walking away and disappearing into the infirmary room.

A suck in a breath and mutter a curse under my breath.

I will have to put that conversation away for now. Now, I must focus on my child.

I walk into the room, my wife is gracefully sitting in a chair next to her bedside running her hand over Midnights eyes; looking into her memories.

I expect her to cry over what she's to see, but I'm startled when she begins to laugh hysterically; golden tears stream down her face freely.

"Have you gone mad?" I ask her bewildered and flustered by her reaction.

She shakes her head and continues to laugh.

"I can't..." she once more is cut off by her laughter.

I gingerly waltz over and grab her hand to see what she is seeing and soon the memories are playing through my head like I was there.

.

.

.

Through Midnights eyes, I see her falling and our maze spider, who I recognize as one of the servants who tends to be an absolute prick, leap at her with hungry glee in his eyes.

I see her hand reach out and a bright ball of white light blasts from her hand knocking him back.

Him; Gerald.

Never liked the guy but his work was so exceptional that I always overlooked his attitude.

Gerald landed upside down, all his legs curled in upon himself with a few twitches here and there.

Serves the bastard right going after her in his spider form. All the staff in their monster form know not to attack the royalty and are aware to an extent what they're doing.

Gerald has been pining over Midnight for a while now but has never gotten close due to Romeo and Ari being around her non stop; he took an opportunity while he could.

My jaw clenches in anger but I continue to watch what happens.

Gerald finally gets back up after some difficulty and turns around glaring at my daughter with his predatory spider eyes. He again charges at her and she takes off running. She looks back and again blasts her power but Gerald anticipated that move and leaped into the air launching himself forward.

She turns back running faster and I see where the ground comes up close to her face.

She must've fell and then I hear her anguished scream.

She turns back and sees he'd bitten a chunk of her wing off and she screams again in horror and disbelief. 

My blood boils as I then see he's shifted back to his "human" form. He licks his lips and then sucks the blood off his fingers with a dangerous seductive smile. The rest of his arms find other stuff to do like ripping his shirt open and the others pinning her down.

My stomach drops.

"I've finally got you to myself." His deep voice rings out. She tries to flip over and fight him and again he takes another bite of her wings and tears off another chunk with his teeth.

Several minutes pass of him sitting on her back just of him eating my daughter and occasionally coughing up her feathers. She screamed the entire time too until he finally shoved a giant chunk of her wing into her mouth gagging her to muffle the screams.

I can for sure say my wife has indeed gone mad.

Gerald leans further on her back causing her to groan at his weight and he whispers in her ear.

"You're like a little bird. Always flying around tempting my instincts to hunt you down and feast. You have no idea how long I've waited to get you like this." She turns her head back to look at him and a whimper leaves her trembling lips, still unable to speak or anything from the meaty chunk of wing in her mouth.

He smiles softly at her as he does every day and disgust fills my veins.

"Don't cry. I'm not going to completely devour you yet. I just need you to fulfill my desires first."

Midnight continues to look at him in absolute terror while he sits on top of her with his normal smile he gives her every day.

"I want you to chew and swallow that piece of yourself. Oh, please do it, and do it slowly so I can savor watching it." He says cooingly while ripping her dress open with anticipation.

"Now." He demands voice hardening.

She starts to chew her wing chunk as tears begin to crawl down her face. Gerald gets a rise out of the whole sick situation and a burning fury makes my blood boil.

She gags and tries to spit her wing out but he flips her on her back and puts his hand over her mouth; straddling her.

"Eat it!" He yells at her slamming one of his fists down on her chest. A muffled scream leaves her covered lips and her legs are kicking out of control.

He groans a sound of pleasure and strokes himself over his pants while still covering her mouth with his other hand.

Another hand pushes her hair out of her face and gently strokes her cheek.

She violently moves her head away from his hand but only gets as far as the other side of the ground will let her where he promptly covers her mouth again.

"Chew. Now. I won't ask again princess." He growls out in a disturbed way.

She chews and chews for what seems like forever and the whole time he strokes himself slowly letting out groans while she cries beneath him.

"Swallow.....it." He says sounding haggard and barely able to formulate his words.

She looks at him wide eyed and she swallows. She gags and tries to jerk herself up but he holds her down and again tells her to swallow.

What looks like vomit starts to dribble from the corners of her lips and he starts laughing.

"You're so beautiful when frightened. This is such a dream come true." He coos.

With the hands that he used to stroke himself and the hand to touch her face, he reached for his belt buckle and started undoing it. Her eyes widened in terror and she started squirming more violently.

"Yes. Keep doing just that. I love seeing the look of fear in your eyes when you jerk underneath me."

He rips his button and zipper open from his black pants and tears himself free from his boxers all while his other arms hold her down and keep her muffled.

He removes his hand from her mouth and vomit flows to the ground beside her face and she coughs a bit taking in deep breaths.

"Gerald stop! Why are you doing this?!" She screams out terrified and confused.

He doesn't answer. Just smiles.

"I'm going to make you enjoy every moment of this as much as I am. I know you secretly love this so stop playing hard to get." Before Midnight can object, he tears his pants down and shoves himself into her mouth as far back as he can.

She gags and I see vomit coming from the sides of her mouth. However, it doesn't deter him from stopping as he just keeps thrusting.

I see her arms trying to push him back, but he just shoved her back down to the ground and starts fucking her face ruthlessly.

He groans out in pleasure and stills above her, having pushed his full girth all the way in her mouth.

Midnights legs thrash around in an attempt to get out from underneath him, but he doesn't move off of her.

"Princess..." he trembles out

"... you feel so fucking good...Holy shit....Fuck..." he continues to thrust. Midnight stops flailing around and just lays still, after a bit, he finally gets off of her and she inhales deeply gulping in as much air as she can.

He gets off of her entirely and she starts scrambling backwards, but she doesn't get too far as she grabs at her chest and whimpers.

"My apologies, princess. It seems I have cracked a few of your ribs in my excitement. Although, we are not finished here."

He shoots a web and yanks her back to him while she screams and claws at the ground trying to get away and again, he rolls her over and holds her down.

He starts tearing at her dress, exposing areas that he can have the most fun with and even tears off her leggings while she screams out for help from Ari or Fang. She screams till she throws up and Gerald gently pats her back and holds her hair away from her face.

After realizing that nobody is actually coming to help her like they always do, she just lays there with a vacant look in her eyes as he plunges his fingers in her so hard her body jolts and she screams out again. With every move of his hand, she goes quiet and that vacant look returns to her eyes. His other hand continues to stroke himself in a frenzied state until he finally finishes on her with a grunt.

Getting up off of her she continues to lay there and he gently laughs as he begins to suck at his bloody covered fingers.

"That wasn't so bad now was it?" He says in a praising way.

She sniffles and doesn't say anything; just curls in on herself and whimpers.

"Now, now I'm upset as well. We did finish too quickly and I need you to do me a last favor." He says sighing and yanking off the rest of his clothes with some anticipation.

He stares at her and a psychotic grin spreads across his face as he wraps his hand up in her hair and pulls her up.

She wails out clutching at her hair to alleviate the pain as he tosses her face down into his crotch.

"NO!" She screams out attempting to put her hands in front of her face.

He laughs.

"Oh yes." He says desire coating his words.

"I want you to eat me." He moans out.

"Bite into my flesh and tear at me with a ravenous hunger." He breathily moans out.

"No..." She trembles out.

In one swift motion he pulls her forward and kisses her then he pulls away and I see his teeth elongate to his spider fangs and he plunges then into her shoulder.

A strangled gasp exits her mouth, then she falls over limp convulsing and foaming at her mouth for what feels like forever before she stills.

Then as quick as a viper she sits up and lunges at him ripping into the flesh of his arm with her teeth and tearing it free.

He screams out as she chews away at him and moves on to different parts of his body eating and at one point he starts erotically moaning.

"YES PRINCESS! JUST LIKE THAT! EAT ME! EAT ME! AH!" He moans out as she tears and chews at such a fast pace.

At one point she goes for his chest and he holds her there as she rips into the flesh at his collar bone and upon closer inspection, he's jacking himself off to her literally eating him.

He's a moaning screaming mess and at some point he shifts into his spider form and tries to get away.

Midnight however, in her faerie state of mind, leaps at him like a feral beast and tears one of his legs off and devours it within seconds.

Then another, and another, and another, and finally she starts eating the rest of him.

His blue blood sprays all over her but it doesn't deter her.

Minutes pass and she eats him all the way down till he's just a head.

The other spiders that are within the maze had all stood by and done nothing but watch as Gerald did what he did and not one of them made a move to help her after everything went down.

"You stupid fucking spiders! I hate all of you! You seen what he did to me and stood by and watched. So as a reward, hurt and kill each other the same way that happened to me and him." She walked past them and as if they were all in a trance, they all began to reenact what happened.

All the females shifted back to their human form and  screamed out in terror and began running while the males ruthlessly ran after them. I see through Midnight's eyes as she coldly watches the women get literally devoured, raped, and beaten before the women eventually run after the males and devour them til there's nothing left, but their heads.

When the women are done feasting, they snap out of whatever trance they were in and panic.

One of the servants cries out, wanting to know what happened. Midnight, in a monotone voice, lets them know what happened to her is what happened to them before they all on catch on fire.

The green flames greedily lick up their body's and she walks away dragging the head of Gerald behind her. She walks through the maze and burns through everything. She leaves many flames behind her and at some point, I see where she jerks her wings out painfully. She finally makes it out of the maze and walks towards the giant doors she originally walked out of with Ari.

I let go of my wife's hand and I see that she's still laughing in hysterics and I rip her hand away from Midnights hand.

I grab her by the shoulders and shake her. "Woman, snap out of it!" I say feeling startled by her reaction.

When she keeps laughing I slap her and the laughing stops.

"Calm yourself woman! Our child has been hurt deeply by someone she knows within the staff!" I yell at her.

"My baby was molested!" She cries out hoarsely.

She breaks down and cries softly and I feel so horrible about laying my hands on her. I gather her into my arms and she cries into my chest heart wrenching sobs.

I pat at her head and do my best to comfort her but I'm falling apart almost as much as she is. However, I'm having to hold myself together for her.

Her head flings back and a loud mournful wail escapes her vocal cords.

I instantly get a headache but hold her when she falls limp.

I pick her up bridal style and I walk us out of the infirmary. There's no use in me talking to her; her eyes are vacant and she's trapped in her head with what she's seen.

I mindlink Ari and tell him to get his ass inside and meet me outside the infirmary.

At first, he doesn't answer me, but after more persistence from me calling out to him, he finally answers in a skittish voice.

'Your majesty... I didn't mean to lose her...'

I cut him off and yelled at him.

'I don't give a damn what happened! What I do know is that my daughter is in a fucking infirmary and it's your fault so get your ass up there and meet me in 10. Do you understand Ari Constantine?'

Seething, I waited for his response but a response never came further pissing me off.

'Ari. Do we have an understanding?'

I repeat to him telepathically my voice hardening.

He finally responds in a small voice.

'... I understand.'

I walk my wife down the corridor until I reach our room and I kick the door open and carry her to our bed. I place her down gently and she sniffles, but doesn't open her eyes as she just lays there numbly.

I bend down and gently place a kiss on her forehead, and I cover her up telling her to get some rest and that I will be back within an hour or two.

I swiftly exit the room and make my way back to the infirmary where I not only find Ari, but Fang as well.

Fucking lovely.
