Shards of Sin (solo)

[Kalestiya]

Kalestiya found herself standing in a dimly lit room with unfamiliar furnishings. A handsome young man sat in a chair across from her, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her uneasy. She shifted uncomfortably under his scrutiny, feeling a blush creeping up her cheeks. As she moved to leave the room, she realized with a sinking feeling that the door was locked. Panic began to rise within her, but she forced herself to stay calm. "Why am I here?" she asked the young man, but he remained silent, his lips sealed shut as if he couldn't speak.

Instead, she heard whispers echoing in her mind, a jumble of words that made no sense. Each time she tried to comprehend them, they slipped away like mist, leaving her feeling more confused than before. Desperation clawed at her chest as she pleaded with the young man for answers, but he only smiled cryptically, his eyes betraying no hint of understanding. With every passing moment, the room seemed to close in around her, suffocating her with its oppressive silence. Kalestiya's heart raced as she struggled to make sense of the situation, her fear mounting with each unanswered question.

The man rose from his chair and walked towards Kalestiya, each step echoed through the room and increased her nervousness. As he inched closer, a strange feeling washed over Kalestiya, and her breathing became ragged with anticipation. Though she feared his intentions, there was something irresistible about him that drew her inexorably towards him. She stood rooted to the spot as he gently caressed her cheek with his hand, his touch sending shivers down her spine. Her breathing quickened, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

"What is he going to do?" she thought.

The man leaned in and brushed his lips against her ear, his breath hot and heavy on her skin. His hands roamed over her body, leaving a trail of heat wherever he touched. She was paralyzed, unable to resist his advances.

"Please... don't..." she whispered, but he ignored her plea. He pressed his body against hers, pinning her against the wall. She was trapped between him and the hard surface, her heart pounding frantically. She squeezed her eyes shut as he began to kiss her neck, his lips moving slowly downward towards her collarbone.

"Stop... stop it..." Kalestiya managed to utter weakly, her voice barely audible above the blood rushing in her ears. But the man continued his assault, his mouth exploring every inch of exposed flesh.

"Don't... please..." Kalestiya pleaded, her body trembling beneath his touch.

The man slowly moved his hand towards her inner thigh and began to caress it lightly, eliciting a moan from Kalestiya. She bit her lip, fighting back the urge to give in to him. "I... I can't..." she whimpered, her resolve weakening by the second.

Suddenly, the young man froze and pulled away from her, his expression unreadable. A split second later, Kalestiya felt a searing pain in her stomach and her eyes snapped open, a gasp escaping her lips. Her hands flew to her abdomen, where a large wound was gaping open, bleeding profusely. She looked at the man in shock and disbelief as he stepped back, his eyes shining with malicious glee. She stumbled backward, clutching her stomach in agony as the man vanished into the shadows, leaving her alone in the room.

The pain was agonizing, and Kalestiya struggled to remain conscious as blood poured from her wound. She collapsed to the floor, the life draining from her body with every passing moment. Her eyes widened as her blood changed from crimson and into a strange, slimy black substance, filling the room with a foul smell. The substance seemed to come alive and move on it's own, encircling Kalestiya and and enveloping her in a cocoon of darkness. She gasped for air, but it was no use; the fluid filled her lungs and drowned her from the inside out. As her vision faded to black, the last thing Kalestiya saw was a shadowy figure watching her from the corner of the room.

Kalestiya woke up screaming in a cold sweat, clutching her abdomen, her heart hammering against her chest. She instinctively glanced around the room to make sure she was no longer in the nightmare, a relief washing over her.
