thirty minutes before darkness began to descend. It was over. They had won.
Nellie could hardly credit it. Margaret had been right about everything.
The journey back to the camp was a quiet, reflective one. Nellie and Kerick
walked hand-in-hand in silence, both of them realizing now was not the time to
reflect on the odd events that had transpired within the Queen s lair. There
would be plenty of time for that after returning to the Xibalba, a female
safe-haven that now boasted four male residents.
Nellie stilled, causing Kerick to halt beside her and look quizzically down
at her. Her gaze was zeroed in on a naked woman resting on a boulder. The
wench was cut, her feet looking slightly injured, but she was okay. Nellie s
heart soared, a laugh of happiness escaping from her. She let go of her
husband s hand and ran to the woman as fast as her feet would carry her.
The last person on Federated Earth Nellie had expected to see after crossing
the ledge was her stepmother. She screamed out her name to get her attention,
her legs moving quickly, her arms outstretched. Nicoletta gasped when
recognition dawned. She shot up off of the boulder and wobbled towards Nellie.
Their bodies clashed. Nellie hugged Nicoletta tightly while tears of
happiness burned the backs of her eyes.  What are you doing here? How did you
ever find me? she choked out, half crying and half laughing.
 A mother s intuition, Nicoletta answered, hugging the child of her heart
just as firmly.  I feared that you needed me. She chuckled, her warm brown
eyes filled with tears.  I should have known better.
Nellie pulled back far enough to meet her gaze.  I ll always need you.
Always.

Nicoletta smiled.
Later, when they were alone together within the safety of the Xibalba, Nellie
went to her stepmother s chamber and told her about what had happened in the
cavern. Nicoletta s eyes had gone wide when she d spoken to her of the
man-beast, an emotion Nellie couldn t name in their brown, haunted-looking
depths.
 It is dead then? Nicoletta whispered, looking away.
 Yes. Nellie s forehead wrinkled.  Nica, are you well?
 Of course, she said quickly, a smile that somehow seemed forced coming to
her lips. She hugged Nellie again before insisting she leave her chamber and
go spend time with her husband.  I ll see you on the morrow.
Nellie eyed her curiously before giving in. She inclined her head.  On the
morrow, then. And Nica?
Nicoletta s head snapped up.  Yes?
Nellie smiled.  I love you, she murmured.
Nicoletta smiled back.  I love you too, my bella.

 I never thought we d be alone, Nellie said on a grin as her husband
undressed her and admired his nipple chain.  The Xibalbians certainly throw a
long party.
He grunted.  I was glad to be gone from it, he growled, pushing her down
onto the pillow-bed and settling himself between her thighs.  I m of the mind
to perform various wicked sexual acts upon My wife s body.
She giggled. Lucky her, she decided.
Nellie s teasing mood turned serious as soon as Kerick sank his cock inside
of her.  Thank You, she whispered.
He stilled.  For what? he asked, looking down at her.
 For loving me enough to go in that sanctuary with me. I never would have
made it out alive without You.
He kissed the tip of her nose.  Save your thanks for the man-beast.
 I m serious, she said, her gaze finding his. She was thanking him for more
than a single act and they both knew it. She was thanking him for everything,
but most especially for a love that she didn t doubt would endure and grow
deeper over the coming years. She would never fear abandonment at this man s
hands. He loved her and she could trust in that love. It was more than she
could have ever hoped for.
Her smile was warm as her eyes searched his.  Thank You, Nellie whispered
again.

 You are welcome. He smiled.  And thank you too.
Words were no longer necessary so their bodies took over from there. Kerick
Riley, the Grim Reaper, made slow love to his wife, his cock sinking into her
welcoming flesh over and over, again and again.
And when it was over, Nellie Kan Riley, once his captive and now his wife,
clung to her beloved Kerick as he had prayed she one day would.
Epilogue
A sennight later
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and
Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and
his angels were cast out with him.

It was over. For now.
They had collected the serum and escaped with their lives barely, but they d
done it. Unfortunately, the Xibalba scientists had quickly discovered that the
antidote had its limits. It could kill the infection within a human that had
not yet succumbed to disease, but it could not regress the disease in
sub-humans. At least for now, that part of humanity was still lost to them.
Margaret was cured, as was Karen. For now they would celebrate that as the
victory it was.
Nellie, Margaret, and Patricia would continue their work with the serum in
the hopes of being able to find a cure to make regression a reality. Kerick
and Elijah would continue their work too, formulating and eventually executing
plans to end the Hierarchy s stronghold over Federated Earth. It would take
years before they could amass a strong army, but they would do it. And as it
turned out, they would do it without Xavier.
 You ll see me again, old friend, Xavier murmured to Kerick who was
escorting him as far as the Crossroads. His wink was jovial, but masking a
great deal of pain.  You have found your place in this world, you have found
your destiny in Nellie. Now I need to figure out what mine is.
Kerick couldn t pretend he didn t understand. Xavier had lived most of his
life as an Outlaw and the rest of it as a death row slave laborer in Kong. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
