The ice queen chuckled at her sister's words, and it echoed into a demure laugh. But the underlying tone froze my blood in my veins, and made the hair on my neck stand up. The evil that radiated from this woman made the dominatrix seem like a strict schoolteacher. There would be no pity from this woman. I can't explain how I knew it, but I did. Then she spoke, and her voice was like flower petals, smooth and quite, that had been watered with blood.
"You poor thing. You must be terrified. I'm sure you are quite aware of my sister and my special abilities. Ever since we were young, we've had a certain knack from acquiring the information we need from our victims."
She spat the last word as she stroked the quaking cat woman's head.
"While my sister is an expert in creating unimaginable, unending suffering and pain in the most creative manner possible I specialize in another kind of torcher. I can use it to drive you to the brink of madness. Far better creatures than you cracked quite easily. I have never failed."
As she smiled, every muscle in my body tensed. My brain was screaming to run, run and hide and never come out, but I was paralyzed with fear. I knew that if I were to be left in the hands of this monster, I wouldn't survive. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Karyn's eyes wide with fear. We both sank lower behind our measly shrubbery that was our only separation from the women.
"While my sister specializes in Pain," the woman in white leaned forward to whisper her next phrase, "I specialize in Pleasure."
Wait what? That doesn't make sense .
"Well," she clarified, "The suspension of pure pleasure. I allow you to feel pleasant, happy, warm and unfulfilled. And I can bring you to the brink of bliss and let you almost gaze at the face of god, and never quite reach it. To be held at the edge of such a strong 'petite morir' is, well, I've been told the effect is quite excruciating ."
My blood was pumping full antifreeze. What the hell had we stumbled into? She leaned farther forward, caressing her prisoner, groping her.
"Care for a demonstration?" she snarled.
