I. HELEL REIGH

*Helel: \(Hebrew\) Satan

3rd person POV

Panting was heard throughout the hallway of the mansion's white walls, as the girl struggled and stumbled on the way to her room.

She arrived at her room's entrance with several talismans pasted outside, and as she opened the door, the smell of blood reeked. It was coming from a rottening body in a cage, tied up with its stomach split open, mouth and eyes sewed.

She immediately went inside and closed the door behind her back. She ran to the bathroom and began throwing up. It was the poison she drank earlier that made her puke, not the rottening body that's for sure.

After throwing up, she washed her face and stared at her reflection. She was 16, her skin was fair, and her eyes were golden, as if they were dunked in melted gold, and her hair was red as blood.

Getting out from the bathroom, she laid down her bed, looking at the body, and then at the ceiling. Her room was white, covered with blood, and reeked of blood. Though the bed, closet, bookshelf and the cage occupied a lot of space, it still looked empty. White was the main color for her room, but for her? It was all just black.

The door creaked opened and as she stared at its frame, a figure filled her sight. With a gentle smile the figure spoke "So you've let a body rot in here again?" the man asked as he entered the room closing the door behind him. The girl did nothing but looked back at the ceiling. Angered the man went to the bed where the girl currently lies above, groped her mouth, and with an empty smile he said," Helel, did I not just ask you? " the girl, Helel, just stared at him still with no reply.

Frustrated the man pushed her hard to the bed and stood up, ruffling his flaxen hair. "As I am in a good mood today, I will be letting go of your mistake. I have also brought you a gift" the man said. As he called for the servants, the maids came in with a boy tied with several chains by their hands, getting dragged around like an untamed animal. Nothing covering him other than his tattered pants.

His blood mixed with the dirt from where he was once locked up, and sweat. As many wounds were open and many scars could be seen, he looked pitiful, like a dog, abused and left in the rain. From front to his back, it was covered with nothing but filth.

"What is this Seth?" Helel asked with an indifferent voice as she cocked her head to the side. "The poison didn't seem to satisfy you every dinner and you just let the bodies rot" he paused as he turned his head to look at the cage, and the girl followed his eyes. "So, instead, we have bought this young man from the black market, we thought you might've not liked what we gave you before, because we always did the work even before you say how you liked it, so now, he is at your disposal. Do anything you want to him" He said as his hand travelled the boy's jet black hair and took a handful pulling it "He's really filthy though. And when he gets too naughty~" He paused, staring dead at the boy's eyes, "you need not to hesitate killing him alright?" he continued as he smiled coldly with a pair of murderous eyes.

"Yes, Brother" Helel replied looking at the chained boy. As the servants finished putting the boy inside the cage, still not releasing him from his chains,Helel's eyes followed them. Seth was about to exit the room, he remembered something and so turned his back, "Here's the key to the chains" he said as he gave the key to Helel, turned his back and with the servants behind him, left.

Helel took steps closer to the cage, where now two people are in, one hanged and dead, and the other chained, yet alive. She looked at the new human inside the cage and analyzed his appearance. He's hair was black, which currently is wet with his sweat, chocolate-brown eyes, his lips were red and plump, and though it had wounds, it looked attractive on him. His body still is a bit muscular despite being starved and punished, wounds and bruises covered his stomach, arms, legs and his back. His skin was tanned.

She bent down and asked "Who are you child? ". The chain rattled as the boy tried to attack Helel*.
